    I don't agree, I feel amazing but could be all the other antioxidant boosting supplements too

    It can also be placebo. Often people taken supplements feel better even when many are unproven by science. If it helps you stay on track, then its great and doesnt really matter.

    Or when commencing supplements, the person also makes other changes in lifestyle and diet which have a positive effect. I don't suppose that many people at all start a supplement and make no other changes, even if the changes are subconscious.

    This is also often true. Adding very nutrient dense foods, exercise and just being excited about committing yourself can all have positive influence on this process.

    This is how i know they did diddly squat for me. I continued counting my calories and doing my normal exercise routine, I didn't change a thing whilst taking them and my weight loss stayed the same as it has always done, not even an extra 100g lost lol.

    I did and the websites that came up were either selling it or calling it a scam.

    There are no pills, powders, wraps or potions that will cause you to lose physical weight, however your wallet will get lighter. Even on the box it says something to the effect of "in combination with diet and exercise" and "results may vary" all in tiny writing. Just skip this and stick to your calorie goals.

    Don't tell this to big pharma. Weight loss prescription drugs are big business. :smiley:

    I know. I work in the medical field and have patients ask all the time about taking a pill or getting surgery. I have no problem educating them that these are only tools and the ultimate goal is to get them eating healthier and exercising more. The side effects alone are enough to keep me away (i.e seizures and suicidal ideations - uh that's a big no for me)

    I've been horrified lately when I see commercials for random different medications. They all seem to cause "suicidal thoughts or actions" (something to that effect) I'll keep my gout and live thanks!

    You have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Is healing and/or quality of life better than the side effects to you? I hate those ads because they list every possible side effect without giving context as to the number of people who experienced it or to the severity. If you have a medical issue that will be resolved by medication, read the info. If one person in a trial of 50,000 has suicidal thoughts they have to mention it, but if you read the literature you will know it is only one out of 50K.
