As someone who has, embarrassingly, tried all those. No. None of them work. MFP is the only thing that has worked. I will be on here forever.

Has anyone had any success with any of the following weight loss supplements:
Green Coffee Bean Extract,
Garcinia Gambogia,
Forskolin, or
Calorease (FBCx)

I'm a big Dr. Oz fan if you couldn't tell LOL!

Instead of forskolin I totally read foreskin.

Well, that's not the oddest thing I've heard of for 'weight loss'! XD


And yes, Dr. Oz's advice is HORRIBLE. What's sad is that he has gone from a highly respected cardiac doctor and researcher to a TV quack. He apparently got interested in alternate medicine because he believes that getting the mind involved with your health is necessary. While he's correct to a point, he's apparently drifted into promoting supplements and new-age type 'treatments' that have no medical bearing on anything.

Those products will do a great job shrinking your wallet, but won't do much for shrinking your waistline.
