2008-12-07 Helps weight management

0 of 3 people found the following review helpful

I am giving it a 5 star right now, but I am not sure right now. I have a friend who has lost 30 lbs using it so far. I have been taking it for a month and I think I have lost some internal fat but not body weight. (I am talking about additional weight. I previously lost 60 lbs in a year and have been maintaining the weight loss but have hit a plateau. So, I thought I would try this.) It is a natural product. I would not use those other diet pills.)

This product claims to naturally increase your metabolic rate, burn fat, provide antioxidant cellular protection, and help make diet and exercise more effective. It claims to be a non-stimulant and natural fat burner, helping to break down visceral fat, including belly fat. It claims to be made from cultivated strains of edible brown marine vegetables (edible seaweed?) and includes beneficial marine carotenoids and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Take 1, 3 times a day. Can gradually increase to 3, 3 times a day.

1st of all, I have been taking it for about a month. I take 1 tablet with each of 3 meals. Although I think it is breaking down internal body fat, I cannot be sure. I can tell you that there are no jitters and I would be sensitive to that. It is not cheap, but what is? If it does what I think it's doing, it is worth the money. I think it will likely work better with daily exercise, which I intend to get back to in exactly 2 days. I have tried all kinds of magic bullets in the past and there seems to be no way to lose weight healthfully without the appropriate diet and exercise (especially exercise). I have known several people who have done the surgeries and although it is an alternative, I think you are better off doing the reasonable portion diet and exercise way. Anyway, I think this product can probably help when combined with reasonable eating and exercise. So, get up and start moving. Do whatever you can do and work yourself up to 30 minutes of movement each day, whether you try this product or not.

(Note--There is no way to comment about the product without giving it a star rating. It would be unfair to the product to give it a low rating, so I gave it a 5 star with an explanation so I could provide you with comments on the product. It did work for my friend but I am not sure if it is working for me yet.)

Update May 2009--no weight loss yet, but the fat that has been with me forever appears to be slowly leaving. My face is thinner and friends have noticed it even more than I have. (Remember, my metabolism is very slow.) Friends are losing weight with this product very slowly.

I have been taking this product for four weeks now and am seeing great results. I have changed my diet and increased my exercise; however I am fully convinced that this product is giving me the extra boost that I needed to acheive weight loss. I have lost about 7 pounds and a couple of inches. I have tried other fat burners but hated the side effects, therefore discontinued use. This has very little side effects. When I first began taking the prodcut there was some gas discomfort but that has been completely eliminated. Also, on the bottle it says "for advanced usage take 3 softgels 3 times a day". I called about this, as it's not a chepa product. They said that they recommend you take 1 softgel 3 times a day for 6 weeks. If you are getting results there is no need to increase. I personally will not increase.

I have not lost any weight on these pills. I even tried up to 3 pills twice a day. It seems to slim down the belly fat, but i have not lost any weight while following a weight watchers diet.

2008-11-17 Works great, no side effects

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Well, I started taking these pills about a week ago. I picked these because they seem to be a natural product from a reputable company. I was skeptical, like many of the other reviewers. I also started cardio kickboxing classes and I've been watching what I eat. I started with one pill at breakfast and one at dinner. I didn't feel much, but I measured and weighed myself on day one.

The next day I took two at breakfast and dinner. No side effects. I wasn't sure whether or not it was doing anything, but I found I forgot to eat. My mind wasn't on food as much and I seem to not crave sweets quite as much. It has now been a week. I've lost 8 pounds, 1 inch off my waist and a little off my thighs and hips. People have noticed already. I am only planning to lose 20-25 pounds, so this is a great start.

A couple of days ago I also started using a whey protein diet shake. This seems to be keeping my blood sugar level, and it seems to be helping with the cravings. I feel good, and I plan to continue with these pills. It's really nice to have found a diet pill that seems safe and effective.

2008-10-23 Constipated

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

I started taking it a few months back and became SEVERELY constipated. To put it in perspective - I had my gallbladder out and so I usually have very 'fast' bowels. I took the recommended dose - lost zero pounds - even w/ diet and exercise. The constipation was so bad that I didn't go for three days and when I did it was very painful. I gave them to my mother-in-law who wanted to try it... same thing happened to her even though her health is nearly perfect.

Garbage.
