I can't say all of them work but the one I used (Shred Jym) helped me get that extra push. However, just don't use them longer than a month or two.
In other words, they don't work.
There's no such thing as a magic pill but the fat burner I used helped me lose a little bit more than when I wasn't using it. I probably wouldn't recommend fat burners because 98% of them are a waste of money but they're some that are legit.0 -
I did an experiment. I drank fat burner one week without exercise and I drank fat burner the next week with exercise and lost roughly about the same amount of weight both weeks.
I have no idea if they work or not lol

They have the statement "in conjunction with diet and exercise" for a reason. No, they don't work. But the good news is, you can lose weight without them!11

If you could buy weight loss, Oprah wouldn't be fat.12

Most that I have been looking into say you must drink hella water, so in my mind, I'm just going to drink hella water everyday and see how it goes without buying product.3

We have real people who have lost weight with it and as long as your not eating mcdonalds 3 times a day, it works. Ive used it. Wait, im still using it!!
Do they come with a "best used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise" bit?7 -

That sounds very tempting! Can you quickly run through the mechanism by which these magic pills bind fat and carbohydrate to make them indigestible? And no need to go easy on the sciency bit, I'm an analytical chemist
Also, the ones that double calorie consumption - I'm no biologist, but I'm assuming the result would be massive amounts of heat? How does the body cope with that? Does RHR rise significantly? What are the effects on the heart?
If these things really did as claimed, has anyone ever survived taking all 3?
Yours in anticipation,

Trust me, i've been down this rabbit hole... you're wasting your time with these people.
They also believe a topical serum can penetrate skin and connective tissue to "detoxify" fat cells.5 -

I didnt join the company to sell products and make money. I joined the company after using the products and seeing results. That made me believe in the products. I wanted to help other people too. Please dont bash it.-5 -

This is the best thing I have read.....probably ever. I haven't been more excited to read the next part of something since Harry Potter.15 -

Cool, thanks for that
Sadly, I only managed to watch about half of the video as I could feel myself getting dumber by the second, but, I'm very impressed!
I'm also quite surprised that a glass of water can replicate the acidity, heat and enzymes found in the human stomach, but every day's a learning day, right?
But, the main gist I got was that if the fat sinks to the bottom, it doesn't get digested.
So, from now on, I'm going to eat 3 x 24" pizzas a day but place them upside down on the plate before eating them. That way, the fat will be on the bottom and I can watch the lbs melt away.
There you go all, a free tip there, no need to thank me
And as for detoxifying fat cells, I didn't even know they were toxic let alone that they could be cured with cream!
Damn, I feel so stupid for spending so long eating at a calorific deficit, working out regularly and reducing my body fat in a safe, sustainable way

My question for you is, do you think those things really work?
If you did, I think you probably wouldn't have posed the question...
No, they are the lazy person's excuse not to do the work.
Eat less, Move more...Stay consistent over the long term....you WILL notice results!6 -

I am not a scientist or a doctor. Im a 21 year old girl who has seen the results on friends, family, and even strangers. Heres is the best i can get for you. And yes everyone has survived all three since i take all 3 too.
I shall start with the first one. The ItWorks Fat Fighters. Two tablets contain the following ingredients:
Chromium dinicotinate glycinate 150 mcg: This reduces blood sugar levels.
NeOpuntia (cactus leaf) 500 mg: This is actually the prickly pear cactus which somehow binds fat so we dont absorb it.
Proprietary blend of the following 510 mg
1. Garcinia cambogia fruit extract: This prevents carbs from turning into fat.
2. Green tea leaf extract: This has caffeine which is a stimulant.
3. Phaseolamin: This is the white Kidney Bean Extract. This inhibits a carb digesting enzyme. So it blocks the carbs from being digested. It also reduces appetite by lower ghrelin hormones (the ones that tell you to eat).Also lowers blood sugar and insulin levels.
5. Bitter melon fruit: This inhibits primary human adipocyte differentiation by modulating adipogenic genes, which increases fat burning.
6. Banaba leaf extract: This lowers blood sugar and blocks carbs
7. Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract: This also lowers blood sugar
8. Wheat amalyase inhibitor: amalyase is an enzyme that helps us absorb carbs. So an inhibitor would make us not.
9. Vanadium: Also reduces blood sugar
The 2nd one is the thermofit.
Ingredients:
1. B12- Boost Energy
2. Chromium- Already talked about
3. Capsaicin- This comes from hot peppers. It reduces appetite and speeds up fat burning.
4. Capsimax- This is a type of Capsaicin which causes sensations of heat and burning because it promotes the release of substance P.
5. Raspberry Keytones- doubled with Capsimax makes it stronger.
6. Acai Fruit Extract- superfood that lowers blood sugar
7. Green tea extract- already talked about
8. Bitter melon- already talked about
9. Dandelion root- direuretic
10. Gymnema Leaf Extract- already talked about
11. Niacin- increases body temp-2 -
@witcherkar if these pills do what you claim why are you on this website? From your avatar it would seem that you have a fair bit of progress to make before you can start selling miracle weight loss products.20

I don't think you're being attacked at all, we're just trying to make you see the light a bit. Have you lost weight? How much, and in what time frame? It seems to me you have a few excuses, and that might be what's holding you back. Give up the pills, get to logging regularly, have faith in yourself, and give your pocket book a break..lol. If I can do it the right way, so can you xo12
