I’ve done this diet that I call Green and clear for a week now along with fenphedra and I’m down 5lbs. I don’t need to lose much weight, I’m just toning myself up a bit. Try this diet – if it doesn’t work it’s because you must be cheating and eating bad stuff! Fenphedra IS helping – try it.

I understand that people should hear about the negative immediate side-effects of a product (very important) but why wouldn’t you want to post any immediate positive effects? If this is an impartial site solely designed to help consumers make an informed decision on a purchase from other’s opinions, and as you say EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY, it seems only posting the immediate negative side effects of something and none of the immediate positive effects….would more than likely bias the consumer to NOT purchase this product.

And all of your constant comments against positive reviews (like contesting the validity of whether it’s the product or exercise, or they haven’t taken it long enough, or maybe they just lost water weight) further shows that while not a conspiracy against the product, the editor of this site is extremely bias against this product, and this is NOT an impartial review site…which is disappointing to me, because I don’t know what to think at this point.

I think ALL comments about the product like YOU say are valid, one’s person’s experiences are no less important than another. I understand your need to defend the constant claims that the same person is posting the negative comments, but other than that, why dispute the validity of other’s comments? I believe a site that seems to mask itself as an unbiased consumer review resource while operating on biased opinion is disgraceful and in the end makes any consumer not even read reviews and just purchase something because it SOUNDS like it will work.

And that works either way…to design a site to show postive “reviews” to boost sales is frustrating and unethical, but expected, and kind of obvious…but to design a site alluding to impartiality but when looking deeper seeing obvious negative bias, is even MORE frustrating, because you think if a site has more NEGATIVE reviews it must be for real, and objective because who would profit? Unless it’s solely just to direct people away from a product because the designers of the site have their own opinion against it. I don’t know what to think and I am more confused than ever. Not sure if this will be posted because I haven’t taken the product, although posts of people who haven’t taken the product but have been effectively scared away from it are posted just fine. We’ll see….

Editor’s comments: Dawn, exactly how many reviews of how many products did you read? There are hundreds of untouched negative comments from individuals who have only used the products in question for a day or two. And there are hundreds of untouched reviews from people who have posted positive experiences after only taking the products a few days. And there are all sorts of feedback we don’t comment on at all.

So we contest the argument that we are skewing testimonials one way or another.

Next, you need to recognize that with thousands of comments on this web site, we have to make the same comments over and over again; online people scan rather than read every word – which means most of the time, important relevant caveats will be missed. Including these comments here and there ensure more visitors receive this vital information.

Additionally, there are all sorts of ulterior motives for posting either positive or negative experiences that are not genuine. If we suspect a comment isn’t entirely genuine, you can expect us to comment on it.

Lastly, since we’ve been reviewing fat burners and receiving customer feedback on them for over 10 years, we know who the scumbags are in this industry. Did you look at our wall of shame, for example? Many companies put up web sites filled to overflowing with positive, although entirely cherry picked or fabricated testimonials to sell their products. Sometimes, these same products appear to receive more than their fair share of negative reviews here, since there’s no other place for frustrated visitors to share their experiences (such comments are not posted on web sites dedicated to selling the products in question).

Oh and one more thing Dawn; these comments are really reserved for people who have used to products in question. So please use the contact form for any further correspondence.

I sent the unopened bottle back and the opened bottle and requested at least the partial refund for the unopened bottle. Although I did not like this product at all, I was pleasantly surprised that they not only credited me, through Paypal, for the unopened bottle, but also credited me the entire amount that I spent.

I read the BBB comments and found that they had an F rating. I felt sure that I would never see my money again. Fortunately, I did. So, at least they did that right. Product is terrible – but the company did reimburse me the total amount that I spent.

I take 1 capsule as soon as I wake up (730-8am) with a bottle of water, and another pill around 1 or 2pm with some more water! Like millions of other people, I have tried almost every pill from stacker 2, to lipozene, to hydroxycut, to lipofuze,and even the prescription Meridia.

I have found that (this is my opinion) the fenphedra does indeed curb my appetite as well as giving me extra energy through out the day. The 1st day or 2 of taking it, it did make me feel a bit crazy (as my boyfriend says), but after that I was fine.

I have been drinking a milk chocolate slim fast for breakfast and lunch, with fresh veges and fruits in between. And for dinner, usually any type of grilled anything, fish, chicken, etc.

If you take the pills at the right times as well as eating right, (I’m not a gym person at all, nor will I ever be!) they will work for you. if not, they provide a money back guarantee. Hope this helps someone!

Editor’s Comments: A money back guarantee is only worth something if it’s honored. Fenphedra is made by Garret Devore Labs, a company with an “F” rating with Better Business Bureau and numerous customer complaints including billing/collections issues, customer service issues, refund /exchange issues, delivery issues, guarantee / warranty issues, advertising issues.

I’ve been on an alkalizing diet (for 3 weeks prior) and I lost 2 pounds a week (not complaining) but this definitely upped it to like 4 lbs a week.

It hasn’t given me any jitters or head aches or any nausea and I’ve been on it for 2 weeks now. Maybe it differs from person to person? Just my opinion. Good luck to all!

Editor’s comments: Supplement industry in what role exactly? And are you affiliated with this product? And where did you get your degree in “herbology?” Because all the published clinical data on synephrine (the ingredient for which bitter orange is standardized) shows it to have almost NO effect on weight loss.

As consumer advocates, one of our jobs is to challenge the people who claim to have some sort of knowledge and authority and use it to add credibility to a product. Instead of claiming credentials you can’t possibly prove, please provide some clinical references that shows bitter orange works as claimed. If you really were a qualified professional, you’d be aware only peer-reviewed, published journal references count for anything. And there aren’t any for bitter orange.
