I have been using Garcinia Cambogia note for about 5 months. Taking it, along with keeping a daily journal of what I eat, taking time for exercise daily, I went from 328 to 264. The Garcinia Cambogia eats fat cells before they are ever stored.. As I understand it. I am a Nurse.. I recommend to try it. It can, unfortunately, may have adverse reactions with prescribed medications and results from taking it vary.

Do you think maybe keeping a record of what you eat and exercising helped you more than the Garcinia?

And for what it's worth... I'm a nurse too and I say avoid "miricle cures"

So. Much. No.

My boyfriend is a doctor. His professional opinion is… No.

...If you're not sensitive to caffeine you're probably better off just drinking black coffee, but I mix it up to limit my caffeine consumption....

You take caffeine to limit your caffeine intake

You seem to have misunderstood. Like many Americans, my baseline caffeine level was not zero, as you are assuming. I consumed an obscene amount of caffeine for years. I don't drink 3 energy drinks, or a ridiculous amount of black coffee, like I used to do in one day. I was very highly caffeinated, like many people in the IT industry. Yes, there is caffeine in the supplements, but it is much less than what I would drink if that were my only method of caffeine consumption. It's kind of like using a nicotine patch to limit nicotine consumption if you stopped smoking 2 packs per day. Yes there is nicotine, but much less than if you smoked a ton. Since I've drastically reduced my caffeine consumption, I try to limit caffeine to a reasonable level by not drinking too much of it. Hopefully that's clear.

I'm surprised a health care professional would recommend this. ..

Me too, although I guess I shouldn't be because Dr. Oz.

I've also got a friend who is a nurse but who buys into every diet fad there is, so I guess a good education isn't necessarily a defense.

Well in all fairness, most healthcare professionals have zero education in this area. So i always struggle when people try to throw that credential around. Heck, my friend is a pediatric cardiologist and i know a hell of a lot more than her when it comes to nutrition issues.

Oh it's the thread title that keeps on giving. Srsly.
