Increase your protein intake (if you're already not getting enough), keep your sugar/carb intake limited, and eat something every 3-5 hours (small meals/snacks, nothing big). For exercise I primarily do weight training, mostly because I personally hate cardio, and kickboxing/MMA once a week. You don't need to work out for very long; 45 minutes at a time is the general max because your body will start burning muscle instead of fat if you go too long.To be honest, I would skip this product entirely. Maybe you have as bad a reaction as I did, but the caffeine content was a nightmare to deal with; three straight days of no sleep just to lose five pounds? No thanks.Good luck to you!

For the start of my diet I used the detox pills with doing 30 minutes of walking daily. For my diet I removed all processed foods. Everything I ate had to be single ingredients then cooked together. Amazingly this combo had me losing up to two pounds a day. I was scared these pills would give me GI troubles but I had none. Since the start of my diet I'm down 30 pounds. This is a good start for weight loss but remember diet is 90% of loosing weight. I hope this helps.

I used no diet. I'm a waitress so I'm constantly on my feet and just cut my portion and that's it.

I drink a lot of water normally, so that probably helped the most. I tried to eat a bit cleaner also...cut back on the processed stuff, and really worked on increasing the veggies and fruits. I did not change my workout routine. Creature of habit as far as that goes.Hope this helps!

It made a difference to me, and of course exercise is the best way to go, but with the garcinia I stopped snacking and the weight is coming off. And you have to remember that everyone is different, with different eating habits and exercise routines. I'll be buying again. I'll say it again - exercise, cardio especially is best with any supplement.

What do you mean?Overall compound 20 seems to work, but needs to be combined with a diet and gym routine. You will not see results without

At this point I am trusting what I have read from Dave Asprey and others. I believe cocunut oil is extremly healthy, thus MCT is as well. I have not compared my body fat, before/after, but it does seem to be improving. Jack

I think that like any supplement that isn't regulated by the FDA, you are taking your chances with the outcome. If it hasn't worked for you...it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't work for anyone. Unless you are skinny because you have a health issue, you may have to train yourself to exercise less and eat more.

Because I'm not dieting, just eating healthy as I did before and I was walking/running previously. Only difference in the past few months has been me taking Garcinia Cambogia. So process of elimination ;o)

Hey Tom,My wife and I have been doing T-25 for the last year. What we've been doing is just mixing up the schedule. We did the first week of Alpha a couple of weeks ago and then came back and did a week of Gamma and mixed a couple Beta workouts in with the Gamma. Have fun with it. Some days we do not want to do weights so we'll pick a Speed workout to do. Anyhow, hope that helps.

I have used this product and have used prescription retinol - this worked just the same. I use the strongest 1 % so I get pretty good results. If you are new to retinol I would start with the lowest strength....good luck

This is the only one I have tried. It works great for me. I was able to maintain my weight loss thru the holidays even when I was not very diet minded. I have lost 25 lbs, stopped for a while and now I am ready to try for more. It does not have any side effects for me and does not upset my digestion. I think it worth a try.

Some people have achieved complete remission by going strict Paleo. One such young lady I just read about not only eats Paleo but uses VSL #3. Just FYI.

He has the explanation for the generalized types of food, and I'm sure you can find information about all of it in his blogs. The blogs are sure to explain it all. However, the nutrition guide was an added bonus and not the intended feature of the exercise program. I would use it as a guide, and search for the why's and how's in Dr. axe's blogs.

I just started about a week ago. I lost 2.2 pounds this week. This is not meant to replace diet and exercise. It is meant to aid in weight management and help with hot flashes. I am on Weight Watchers and walk 6 days a week. I was not seeing more than a pound or so a week. Menopause does change our bodies and metabolism. So, I will see if the additional weight loss continues next week, but I was definitely feeling less cravings. There is no magic pill for weight loss. It takes work. But, if this helps, while I do all of the other steps, I will be grateful.

I have had luck using the supplement in combination to tracking calories on my fitness pal. I would like to say I have been successful in increasing my exercise level, but alas that would be a lie. I have done the calorie thing before but always got frustrated and quit because there was little progess and I was hungry all the time - which led to cravings and snacking. With the supplement I have found it easier to skip the snacks and not be thinking about food all the time.

Not trying to be melodramatic; however, this is the worst product EVER! I used it for several weeks, and, when all was said and done, I had gained a pound! What's up with that?? You want to get healthier and release weight in the process? Eliminate wheat and sugar from your diet; get at least half-an-hour of exercise every day; and drink at least an ounce of water for every 2 lbs. of body weight. I started doing that about a year ago, and, so far, I've released 51 lbs.

In my supplement traveles and trials, I have found that it's best to narrow what you want by what your goals are. Zma's help me get a deeper sleep while boosting my immune system and speeding up my muscle recovery time. Bcaa's help me stay hydrated and keep my muscles in a better state for being active and growing. High I have not delt with directly but pro hormones as an indirect form.. A 3 month cycle with strict diet and exercise have made a big impact on weight loss and muscle gains. Arginine and lysine I have yet to try. Zma is a cheap night time recovery and while taking in for a long period of time I have yet to get sick and have always been well rested and restored for the next day. Hope this helps! :)

Hi Andrea, Your question caught my eye because I'm trying to learn to follow the GAPS diet. Do you have any recommendations on making yogurt? I'm trying to decide on the most effective method to make yogurt on a regular basis. Any tips would be most appreciated.
