As lame as it sounds, I have tried a bunch of different ones, and followed directions carefully. The only one that I had lasting and noticeable results was with NV.\n\nTry it, it's just one pill in the morning and one in the afternoon, and within a month, you'll notice a huge difference! I've lost 25lbs with it already! Of course, I have also cut my caloric intake and increase my cardio to 4-5 times a week, but I was working out steadily with the others as well. This one works.

I did Jenny Craig and it really worked for me.  I lost about....45 lbs.  I thought the food was really good, and besides, if you find something you don't like, you don't have to buy it again.  It's expensive, but it works.  I was doing aerobics and walking while I was doing Jenny, I worked the system, and it worked me all the way down to a size 8.  Good luck and go for it!

i would think its probably ok, but im not sure.\n\npersonally i wouldnt buy that crap anyway. none of those weightloss products work, and if they do its because they either have a diuretic in them that makes you lose water weight, not fat, or they have large amounts of stimulants like caffeine in them which arent good for you and arent that effective in weight loss. theyre all way over priced garbage. i dont know what biotin does, but probably not much and the rest of the contents wont do much to "cut belly fat" or "block cortisol." blocking cortisol would probably cause you to gain weight anyway.i dont know how they get away with saying that stuff. if you really wanna lose weight, do it the right way by *committing* (not just for a week or two) to eating better and excercising regularly. dont waste your money on this stuff.\n\nhere are the contents or relacore\n\nServing Size: 2 Capsule \nServings Per Container: 55 \n\nAmount Per Serving: \n\nVitamin C: 333mg\nCalcium: 21.5\nThiamin: (Vitamin B1): 5mg\nRiboflavin (vitamin B2): 7mg\nVitamin B6: 17mg\nVitamin B12: 3.5mg\nBiotin: 150mcg\nPantothenic Acid: 7.8mg\nMagnesium: 67mg

I have not tried it, but from what I have read, it emphasizes that weight loss/control is a simple measure of burning more calories than you take in.  \n\nIt's available online for reading (http://www.fourmilab.to/hackdiet/www/hackdietf.html).  I also found a blog of someone who tried it (http://www.metagrrrl.com/metagrrrl/2004/08/progress_on_the.html).  \n\nGood luck!

I have tried a lot of “fat burners” from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and before you buy anything take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed.\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com

My gf and I have been using it for about 3 weeks now. She's lost about 25 lbs and I've lost nearly 30 lbs.  It "looked" like it would be hard - to "give up" things we thought we just "had" to eat.  Not so.  With this plan, you eat 5 - 6 times a day, and the recipe book and their web site are filled with TONS of ways to fix food that's absolutely delicious.  After losing about 10 lbs the first week, and noticing clothes getting looser after a couple of weeks, and feeling more energetic, you realize you haven't lost anything - except the weight you didn't want to have anyway!  It was my gf's idea to try this.. I admit I was skeptical. Now I would highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to change their lives and become healthier..and smaller. :)   \n\nDan

I've used Tonalin CLA.  It does help with weight loss, but it's not a magic pill.  You'll still need to eat less calories and exercise.  CLA helps to maintain lean body mass.  So if you are exercising, especially resistance training, CLA will help to maintain that lean body mass that you are working to build.

I was thinking about going thru it. Did it work 4 you? Did you loose weight or was it a scam.

Herbalife products work for many people.  I've tried them and I like the wild berry flavor.  I've lost 15 pounds in a month with a combination of shakes and exercise.  Some people will initially lose inches around the waist before they lose any weight.  Being consistent (such as allowing equal time between meals and shakes) plus light exercises will help.  The pills sometimes made me nauseous.  I asked my distributor and he recommended something called "Herbal Aloe Drink".  Herbaldietshop.com has a good weight loss FAQ if you are concerned about your program. Good luck!

i've tried so many things to lose weight and Nutrisystem was wonderful!!!! i lost 12 pounds which was awesome and i myself noticed the difference! \nthe first time i tried it i kind of cheated by eating foods that weren't sent to me and i did lose weight, but i would've lost more if i wouldnt' have cheated a bit.\n but the second time i ordered it, i was more commited and followed it and lost more weight. \nthe first 3 days i had lost 4 pounds, mainly i think because i lost a lot of water, but after that it was like 2 pounds a week. \nthe amount nutrisystem cost is WORTH it!!!! i hope to order it again, when i have more $$$. dont' give up!!!! i could never imagine myself being thin because i always a chubby. i thought it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to get slim, but it is POSSible if you stay postive and stayed commited. i did. \ni'm trying to maintain my weight now on my OWN without nutrisystem and so far it's gone pretty good. i'm still trying to shed my last 10 pounds and it's a killer! but i know i will get there.\nfor now, to motivate myself to lost those last 10 i made signs with my goal weight on them all over my room, so i know what i'm working for. and i also try to imagine my family's reactions when they see me slimmer in december(i only see them during Christmas, we live in different countries). i can't wait to hear them say to me" you look so good!!!!" ," how'd you do it?" \ndon't get discouraged!!! good luck!!!

I have spent tons of money trying to lose weight and keep it off with diets from: Weight Watchers, Medical Weight Loss Clinic, South Beach, to the Grapefruit diet and Rice diet!  Many of them worked, only for me to gain the weight back plus more.\n\nHowever, I have lost over 155 pounds, gone from a tight size 28 to a size 6/8, and kept the weight off for 3-1/2 years, with Herbalife.  Herbalife has 1,500 calories worth of good nutrition in only 90 calories plus you get a free personal weight loss coach that teaches you all-around good nutrional choices.\n\nI actually saved money on my grocery bill with Herbalife, and it is not just shakes.  I have many recipes for other things you can make with it!

I've been thinking about going back on it. I lost close to thirty pounds in the first month but I also switched to water from Pepsi. I also didn't much care for the side effect so I cut a lot of fat from my diet which lessened the trips to the bathroom. If you do try it, don't get discouraged by the lack of pounds coming off because it seems to take the inches off first. I wish you well.
