Rasberry Ketone Extract

I was wondering if anyone has personally used this product? I was interested in something that would help me along on my journey and this was brought to my attention. This is the EXTRACT and was talked about on Dr. Oz. I do not want to take anything that is not natural or along the lines of vitamin or supplement. LMK

Thanks,
Nicolle

    If you happen to be a rat that takes an obscene amount of the stuff, then you're in luck.

    Otherwise, it won't do anything at all (unless your goal is to make your wallet lighter).

    I have not tried it but have been curious also to see if others who HAVE tried it have any feedback.

    Half of what Dr Oz says is just fad/hype/crap. How else could he make an entire show each day with new stuff to talk about? Raspberry ketones lie in the crap side. Eat less, exercise, win.

    I personally have never taken it but I do know someone who used to use it before it was flying off the shelves to lose weight for his MMA fights and he says it works great if you add diet and exercise.

    This ^ because it hasn't been tested on humans. Rats were given very, very large doses.

    That's a pretty conservative estimate. Try doubling it.

    The question is whether diet and exercise would work just as great without raspberry ketone extract. My guess? Yes.

    The placebo effect is an amazing thing.

    Yes, I use Hi Tech pharm raspberry ketones. It is in a red bottle and they sell it at GNC and vitamin world for around $20. It has only the rasp ketones no added stuff, that is why I chose that one. You take 1 a day. I noticed it helps with appetite control. Another thing I take, which was also on Dr Oz is SafSlim. you do that 2 times a day and that is for belly fat. I was skeptical, and it say's it may take 16 weeks to see any result, but I have seen a reduction in my belly and I have been taking it since March 19.I know there is no "magic Potion" and I won't do everything Dr. Oz says, but these seem to help. One more thing I may add is L-Carnatine.

    Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. :flowerforyou:

    He was unable to lose weight that quickly without it. He would sometimes have to drop 45-50 lbs in a little less than 2 months. so no diet and exercise did not work for him alone.

    I like how you make things up.

    6lbs/week? Seriously? What did he eat? One stalk of celery per day?

    ^This.

    It's not bashing if it's true. Anyone who devotes a good portion of their time to being in shape and learning about the science of sport and nutrition can tell you that most of what Dr Oz spouts is unscientific garbage. Some things he says are great too.

    I saw that too. Took it. Didn't do anything. I wouldn't waste your money.

    I want to Thank everyone who replied to my question. I NEVER saw the Dr. OZ show like I said someone just metioned it to me. I thought I am on a weight loss forum I am sure someone could give me an honest opinion. I actually eat very well and work out atleast 45 minutes a day and I have lost 17 pounds since the beggining of may so I will see. Once again Thanks to everyone who responded.
