    Warning: Do not post about "diet pills" on MFP boards. You will see how crazy people get.

    Yeah, all these "crazy" people responding with advice to OP to save her money because the supplements are ineffective.

    Oh, the insanity.




    OP: ZOMG THESE ARE AWFUL DON'T BUY THEM YOU'RE WASTING YOUR MONEY AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING MEANINGFUL AND JUST DON'T DO IT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO DON'T DO IT!!1!eleven!!1

    Didn't say the people were crazy ... said you will see how crazy people get. posting pictures of ducks shaking your head no isn't great feedback. As much as they are funny. Was just warning her before this thread ends up with 180 posts about how Dr Oz is crazy.

    1. my duck gif is funny AND great feedback. you are wrong.
    2. OP should search first

    so are you saying that your sage advice is far better because you were stu.....um, adventurous enough to buy into it?

    I just feel like their are a lot of people on these boards that think everyone should be as educated as them.

    lemme stop you there. i dont know a damn thing about Garcialocafuentesbarbados and what it does to people.
    but common sense tells me 2 things.
    there is no fast-track to weightloss, and any short-term "help" will be met with a world of disappointment when whateer supplement is stopped.
    and anything promoted by that lunatic "dr" is an automatic DQ.

    theres no need to cite research and science for a thread like this. save that for the "sugar is evil" threads.

    this one is just gets chalked up to the OP not taking a few seconds of her life to do some research and instead wants to rely on "peoples experiences". i see you posted yours, and while that is great and i applaud you for realizing the truth about the supplement i cant spell, anyone deciding to take something based on the posts of internet strangers should have the internet removed from their home for the safety of them and those around them.

    I was almost going to buy a bottle actually... apparently Christina Aguilera uses it for quick weightloss.. interesting.

    Just saw this... I can't tell if all the videos and news articles are fake or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb_dYVxYsfI

    Another if those gimmicks that doctors either hate or won't tell you about, or that are the "holy grail" of weight loss, or that will let you lose 15 pounds in two weeks . . . or whatever. At least that's my opinion. :noway:

    Do people really think Dr. Oz just pulls ideas out of his *kitten*?

    "The earliest research, conducted in the 1970s, into the antiobesity effects of HCA was conducted by Hoffmann-La Roche Pharmaceuticals. Studies have shown the ability of HCA to inhibit the actions of citrate cleavage enzyme, suppress fatty acid synthesis, increase hepatic glycogen synthesis, suppress food intake, increase energy expenditure, curb appetite, reduce plasmatic cholesterol levels, and inhibit fat synthesis from excess carbohydrate calories.2,3 The properties of Garcinia extract have been confirmed by clinical trials published in peer-reviewed literature." --Journal of the American Medical Association

    Most of the scholarly articles' abstracts I read suggest that it is safe in normal doses, but in extreme levels it both reduces body fat and is toxic to...testicles? Yep. The article is called "High dose of Garcinia cambogia is effective in suppressing fat accumulation in developing male Zucker obese rats, but highly toxic to the testis"

    If you're interested in a favorable summary, there's this one for an article called "An overview of the safety and efficacy of a novel, natural(-)-hydroxycitric acid extract (HCA-SX) for weight management." from The Journal of Medicine. Here's a link: http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/18084863

    So that's interesting. From the little lit review i just did, there is reason to think that garcinia cambogia has the potential to aid weight loss. Obviously more research needs to be done, it seems like the animal studies are showing results and the human studies are not, so either it works on rats physiologically but not people (pretty unlikely) or it perhaps has more to do with behavior, which is harder to study/control in people.

    People are so damn dismissive of everything. There are so many plants, etc. out there we haven't studied well yet, and isn't super obvious that different plants have different compounds that affect animals that eat them in both helpful and harmful ways??? So why not be open to the possibility that a recently studied natural extract could possibly affect the body in such a way to aid weight loss, either by changing metabolism or digestion or by changing the brain chemistry to induce healthier behavior?

    why does she keep needing "quick weightloss"?...interesting.

    Quick...and then she gains it back, and has to start all over...Why not skip the yo yo, do it the right way (lifestyle changes, exercise, calorie deficit, etc.) and not have to waste money and do it several times?


    Oh I know! Thats what I've been doing for the past 2 months and has worked well, but I was just curious :)

    Do they work? Not that I can tell, but they don't hurt either. I got some cheaply though Vitamin Shoppe, and I don't know if I will refill it or not. I did have some slightly more expensive ones from Stacker that had caffeine in them, and I do NEED my caffeine, but there are cheaper sources for that....

    Seriously though, the SAME arguments can be made for most supplements and multivitamins. If you look at my diary for most days, you can see all the vitamins and such I take. (I didn't take any today though, I tend to skip days from time to time.)

    Dismissive because it doesn't work. All of these things say they work in combo w/ diet and exercise. It's the diet and exercise as to why the weight is lost. NOT because of some pill.

    Personally, I love Carcinogen Cambodia, and all other weight loss gimmicks, because I can always count on at least one of these threads a day full of intelligent humans with clever gifs saying no, followed by an epic amount of butthurt coming from the poor souls who have been lobotomized by Dr. Oz.

    OP, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    People want a magic pill, so they don't have to do the work. There is no magic pill. You still have to modify your habits by eating less and/or moving more. No need wasting money on something that hasn't been shown in humans to do anything.

    Anything backed by Dr. Oz is crap. Don't even watch his show! you'll get sucked in and end up throwing your money away.

    I think all of these kinds of products, including raspberry ketones, work entirely on a placebo effect. You think it's working, you eat better and you lose weight. Thing is, it's the eating better that is causing the weight loss, not the pill.

    Eat properly, take your vitamins and omegas and exercise exercise exercise :-)

    Aaaand, that's why right after I wrote all that I thought "wait....why did I even bother....?"

    LOL, I did have to go back and figure out where I quoted "cleavage".

    Nevermind everyone, carry on thinking whatever it is you already think! There is no such thing as anything that aids weight loss, consumption of natural chemical compounds has no effect on biological functions, a calorie is a calorie and thats that!!!

    Yes. It works for weight loss. In rats. Not in humans.

    It's funny how pretentious and downright miserable some people can be on these boards.
    Anyways, I take 3 garcinia pills a day. They're not a miracle weight loss pill by any means, but I'm not kidding when I say they're a fantastic hunger suppressant. The portions I eat have been reduced because I simply don't have the hunger for it.

    Now I'm going to leave the thread because I'm almost certain I will be attacked, as something similar has already happened earlier. If you have any questions for me, and maybe some positive words as this site sometimes lack, you can shoot me a personal message. :)

    I'm glad (you think) that they're doing something for you (despite all of the scientific evidence to the contrary). Their (placebo) effect is clearly very strong.

    Have you been tested to see if some kind of Monsanto/GMO food has contaminated you with rat genes?

    Well, lets see.... Is he on t.v. daily Monday through Friday, on a t.v. season basis, so September through May or something like that? 9 months.... 36 weeks..... 180 shows? It's an hour show.... but with commercials.... still it is probably 45 minutes of time he has to fill. That's 8,100 minutes of material he has to have for the season. Do you think that possibly at some point, maybe after a couple of seasons, he might have to start pulling some ideas out of a dark unsanitary place?
