    If diet pills helped people lose weight, nobody would ever be fat.

    It's just another money grabbing scam, lightening your wallet by preying on your vulnerability. Chuck them in the bin.

    They don't work, and can have bad side effects. Had tried them before myself. Lost no weight and had very bad headaches.
    Starting just tracking my calories, and sticking to my daily goal and lost 23 Kg (50 lbs)

    I started using them and have lost 18kgs. The main thing I noticed was when I spent 7 weeks in europe drinking a tonne of beer and eating all of the food I didn't put any weight on. Have had no side effects and now have started exercising as well as eating healthy

    i used them for a bit...as Alataire175 said, it 's a scam because you have to understand the fine print and read the label. if you have read the studies you are supposed to take in 1600g to make it work but if you follow the recommended serving size you are only taking in 1/2 of the recommended intake. you have to double the serving size to even get the daily intake that the studies are based on. they worked for me, but only used them to get a jump start on the weight loss. now I just watch calorie intake and exercise. Good Luck!
