I’ve decided to stop taking these because they make me jittery and I finally read the small print on the back of the box which has a california prop 65 warning that the product contains chemicals known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. No thanks, I don’t want to take this and wind up infertile. I hate that this is called a natural fat burner and then I see this warning on the back of the box. People choose natural to avoid things like this. I feel very mislead. I will say that the product did give me motivation to start my diet. I was having a very hard time getting myself to go over that hurdle of eating less especially less junk food and after taking this for a few days I got a good kick start. I just can’t make myself take something with that kind of warning though. I wish they would take the harmful ingredients out of this product since it is a “natural” product. I would definitely start taking it again if they did. I did feel jittery on this with only one pill a day, whatever is in it is very powerful stuff!

I have certainly noticed more energy and a decrease in my appetite since I started taking this! I have not felt jittery or as if my nerves are on end – and I even sleep good if not better at night. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little motivation in order to lose a few pounds.

This product isn’t a magic pill that will burn off all the stored fat in your body, but as part of a diet and exercise program, it can help you lose weight.

The first thing I noticed when I started taking this product (2 very large pills in the morning and 2 with lunch. . . ) was that I had to urinate every 30 minutes or so throughout the day. (This was about twice as often as usual. ) Yes, I drink a lot of water, but this was crazy! The diuretic properties of this blend are incredible and might be great for PMS symptoms to eliminate bloating.

The second thing I noted was my appetite was diminished throughout the day. I eat regularly sized meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, may have 2 small snacks in addition to this, but nothing big and no cravings.

There is supposed to be an increased energy boost with this product, but I’ve not noticed that part. I workout 3x’s a week; 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 doing a vigorous weight workout. I really wanted that boost too! I also notice no jittery or nervous feelings while taking it.

I do notice that if I take 2 pills with lunch (you can take 1 or 2. . . ), I sometimes have trouble sleeping. It’s tough to know if this is the product or my system though. I have fibromyalgia and sleep disturbances are common when the fibro is flaring, which happens when I workout. I would suggest if someone is taking this product and they do get an energy boost from it, they take only 1 at lunch for better sleep at night.

I think this could be a part of a winning weight/fat loss plan. A supportive, natural supplement to add to a multi-vitamin, Tonalin CLA (1200mg) 90 sgels (known to assist in fat loss over a 12 to 16 week period of 3500mg a day) and a low-fat, protein-rich diet with an exercise component at least 3x’s a week.

While taking this as directed I’ve lost 1 pound a week for the past 6 weeks and I do feel leaner. I’m not convinced this product is the biggest factor in my success as I’m working my butt off in the gym too, but I do like how it suppresses my appetite and will continue to use it for that reason. I think making healthy dietary choices is easier for me because I’m not craving large amounts of anything while taking this product.

It’s my first week on these supplements, and I can’t say they are really working. Like one of the other reviewers wrote, I am actually feeling sleepy and more hungry than usual when I take these pills.

However, because it is my first week so far, I’ll give it benefit of the doubt. No weight loss so far, and I’ve been portioning my meals and staying active by going to the gym. I am looking to lose about 5 lbs. to look good for summer.

I will edit this review once I actually begin to lose weight. I hope this isn’t like one of those ADD pills where for those who has ADD, it calms them down, but those who DON’T have ADD and take the same pills, it makes them go into super drive. We’ll see.

Hey so I have alawys been big and tried the diet thing and workout thing but NEVER the pill thing until two weeks ago! I bought some pills that cost me about $80 for a month supply but I heard they were awesome and great and the best, blah blah blah.

Well, I was on day 5 and noticed NOTHING. I eat pretty healthy now (no pastas, no breads and no sugars), drink very little alcohol and am pretty active (don’t exercise too much as I’m pretty busy). So I went to the pharmacy and looked around for over an hour. I finally decided to give these a try. I drank 1 pill only immediately.

In half a day I have already noticed a small change. I had to pee like 6 times that evening alone and even woke up twice in the middle of the night! I never have to pee that much but I do drink lots of water. I also woke up VERY early today and just couldn’t go back to sleep. I feel pretty energized which I normally don’t at this early time of the day. I am really liking these so far. I do feel a bit jittery but not too much.

Guess it’s too soon to tell but we will see! Best wishes to you all!
