My question is: can I buy this product since I’m 19?

Editor’s comments: Yes.

They said that this supplement isn’t for everybody, or doesn’t work for everybody. If you do exactly what it says – exercise and eat right (as in lower calorie intake) then you should see results. Gaining two pounds off of this? Obviously something’s not right.

I have been taking this diet pill for 7 days and have lost 3 pounds. This might not seem like a lot, but I have only been taking half of the required amount. Instead of 4 pills a day I take 2 because my stomach is sensitive.

I gave a rating of three for the fact that I have only been taking it for a week and have not been taking it in the right dosage.

The workouts that I have been doing are fairly simple; Monday through Friday I swim for about an hour. I have also not been changing my eating habbits. Hopefully in the next week I will lose and give out another positive review.

I started taking this fat burner Monday and so far I have lost 3 pounds. I think they are working.

They give me much more energy. I work out five days a week sometimes six in the morning. I work out for three hours and in the afternoon I run for an hour (4 to 5 miles) so hopefully I can lose the 12 pounds I want to come off.

I watch what I eat. I am really strict with my food so I hope they do help me. I do recomend them to any one!

I took the recommended dosage of the Fat Burner yesterday and have had the worst stomach cramps since. Anyone else have this happen and what can I do to help? Hope it doesn’t last too long. Won’t ever take another again.

Editor’s comments: If you’re taking it on an empty stomach, try it with food or water. Otherwise, it may be better to stop taking them altogether.

I have taken diet pills before and have gotten real jittery. And I have to eat more food to off set being so jittery. Will this pill upset me stomach and make me jittery?

Editor’s comments: Adrienne, this product contains a LOT of caffeine (see the full review for more information on the ingredients) and may not be ideal for you, especially if you’re sensitive to stimulants. Hard to say whether it will give you a stomach ache; some people get them, some do not.

Just starting this product. It’s the first diet pill I’ve ever tried and I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which basically means despite years of constant exercise and a good diet, my body holds on to carbs and fat as though the next great famine is around the corner. I’m 5′6.5″ and 191.

I swiped one of those body fat calculators that you hold straight out in front of you at the gym the other day and my body fat was 33%. it’s been two days, I exercise 4-7 times a week (3-5 miles of cardio on a treadmill or elliptical plus some weight training) and I didn’t weigh or measure myself on day one but I seem to have already shed some excess fat on my upper abdomen.

One unnerving thing is that the review says this product contains a possible androgen increasing ingredient and part of my health issue involves me having too many androgens in the first place. Anyways, going to keep at it with this product and I’ll be back in two weeks with an update or maybe sooner if this product works as fast as some people claim it to.

Editor’s comments: Lou, this product contains tribulus, which is often included in men’s products for it’s “supposed” ability to elevate testosterone. I wouldn’t be too worried though; research shows tribulus has NO effect on androgen production.

I usually get SlimQuick, but the store didn’t have it, so I decided to try this and so far so good. I can run non-stop on the treadmill. I also notice my workouts being more intense. Oh, and I was reading some of these comments on how “diet pills are false” but I’m a firm believer on diet and exercise. But these pills are a boost to help you meet your goals.

So, do you all think you are seriously losing weight because you are taking a pill or because you are consiously watching what you are eating and exercising? 20/20 did a show on diet pills and all the experts agreed they are a waste of money. The only thing lighter is gonna be your pockets but if it is working for you its your choice to buy them.
