Has anyone taken this along with eating healthy and exercise and noticed a difference?

    That's pretty much it. Even the guy working at the Vitamin Shoppe talked my friend out of buying it.

    There is no magic pill. If there was obesity would not be such a problem. Not to mention I am sure the fast food would market it somehow to profit. Like all you can eat buffet and OH here take this pill to never get fat.

    It took 20+ years to put on this weight and it is gonna take a while of strict diet and exercise to get it off.

    First this gif is hilarious!
    My experience- I took it for one day and experienced severe abdominal pain, headache and nausea. I didn't have any health insurance at the time so I couldn't go to the ER but before it subsided I was seriously considering going anyway, the symptoms were that bad. Never took it after that and I never found out why I had such a bad reaction.
    Not sure if I lost weight but even if I had it would most likely be because I was so nauseated I couldn't eat. Not worth the money in my opinion. But YMMV

    Do you ever wonder why all of these products claim to provide benefits when combined with a calories controlled diet & exercise? Because that's the part that's helping you lose weight. Their products only lighten your wallet.

    It's been debunked as garbage years ago. Do a search in the forums for the many sources.

    I bought it a month ago and figured I have it so I should take them and it couldn't hurt. I saw something online with Dr. Oz saying it helped with weight loss but who knows! Thankyou everyone for your feedback!

    Dr. Oz is a snake oil salesman. Try to get your money back. If you can't, throw them out. Write it off as a mistake and learn from it. Garcinia can cause nausea, digestive tract discomfort, and headache. At best, nothing happens. At worst, you get a stomach ache. Why even bother?

    Yeah, I heard mixed reviews on Dr. Oz. I tried them for 3 or 4 days when I first got them and had no issues. Maybe that's how we are supposed to lose the weight. They make you sick so you can't do anything! Lol..No, I just figured I spent the money on them so I'll try them and if I have any issues I'll throw them out.

    They're both idiots, so I can see how you could mix them up... :p

    Word of caution...if Dr. Oz says something, do the opposite

    Dammit, you beat me to it.

    I just clicked the user's profile and it says she deleted her account. It's possibly MFP is having issues again.. but it looks like she quit after Nov 3rd.

    I know who she is, she doesn't like criticism, as soon as people started disagreeing with her she got pissed off. She's probably back here under a different user name trying to get everyone to agree with her.
