The fat burner gives me a lot of energy, and the calorie control lessens my desire to eat (both in that it makes me eat smaller portions and lessens my appetite throughout the day. They dont make me jittery, but, does anyone else have difficulty sleeping? Maybe I am taking them too late. To those who have mentioned gaining a lb or two-could it be water weight? The directions tell you to drink the pills with a lot of water- if you are hopping on the scale immediately after taking the pills, maybe it just looks as though you are gaining those two pounds. i always try to weigh myself in the morning immediately after using the restroom. Just a thought! Good luck! I have been using the fat burner in combination with the calorie control for a few weeks and I am pretty satisfied!

I understand that exercise is helpful but is it the only way that it will work? I have completely taken soda out of my diet and I am eating way lighter foods. I just do not have time or money to go to the gym to exercise. I am on the right track with these? Please help. Editor's comments: Kris, the fat burning effects of this product is not great (see the <a href="http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/jillian-michaels-extreme-fat-burner.html" target="blank" rel="nofollow">complete review</a> for details). It contains a ton of caffeine that will provide you with the artificial energy needed to complete workouts, and perhaps suppress the appetite somewhat. The only way this pill will work without exercise - which burns calories, elevates the metabolism and builds lean muscle - is if you consume fewer calories than you expend. And in this case, it isn't the pill - it's your diet.

They are natural substances combined by a dietician for aid in fat burning. You must exercise, consume 64oz of water a day, & eat under 1500 calories to lose weight.

A week ago I purchased Jillian's Fat Burner and started four days a week of 1 hour cardio sessions. I am a vegetarian so my diet has always been pretty healthy and I've really made no adjustments to my diet. In one week I have lost 4.2 lbs and am 137.8 lbs!! I've had no side effects, no jittery feelings, etc. I am amazed at the quick results b/c I usually have such a hard time losing weight. I'll check in again next week but this may be the quickest/shortest diet I've ever had to do! I am 5’7″ and recently have gained 12 lbs going from 130 to 142.

I picked them up on a whim, then came over here and read the reviews before I started taking them. I opted to start a little slow to see how I reacted to the stimulants. I had no problem with them even when I had two cups of tea. They made me feel really great - I had steady energy and a positive outlook. The downside, as others mentioned, I wasn't tired at bedtime. I opted to take only two a day in the later morning - any time between 9-11 (before any kind of workout). The energy lasted all day for me. I had no mid-afternoon slump. I was getting stuff done! I'm afraid I cannot speak to whether I lost weight. Honestly I don't feel like I did. I didn't change my diet much and I continued with my 3 cardio workouts a week. My husband and I have a pact not to weight until a week or so into Oct (I can't recall the exact date). The pills made me feel so good, though, I think I will buy more because I found a good price on Ebay. I found a box of these on clearance at our local grocery store.

I no longer get up and drink a starbucks which is also helpful since I am not taking in those empty caloties. I am also using the calorie counter app for android and that makes me really pay attention to what I am eating since I have to log everything. I am a mom and looking to lose my belly pooch, I hope this helps me get back my old body. I wish the pills were cheaper because a 6 day supply for $20 is still a bit steep for me.

I went to college last fall at 5' 10 272 lbs, I decided enough was enough. I started working out and dropped down to the low 260's and hit a rut. So I decided to pick up a little assistance in these pills. 5 months later I was sitting at 204 in the best shape of my life. Now know this: I worked out 2 hours a day was taking protein and eating extremely well, but these do in fact work if you're willing to put the time in. PS I'm sitting at 214 right now at 17% body fat. I have decided to get back on them and I'm going for broke on this next cycle. I'm hoping of hitting the 10-12% body fat range, wish me luck!

Im first going to start off with my story of gaining alot of weight by: about 2 years ago i weighed 130 lbs now thats a good weight for me being that i am only 5"3. I got pregnent with my beautiful daughter and throughout my pregnancy i gained a huge amount of almost 60lbs. I know thats a massive amount that i put on. But thats mostly all my fault because i craved sooo much chocolate cake and mccdonalds cheeseburgers alot during my pregnancy. Now before i got pregnant i never really ate that type of food i always had a nice figure and worked hard to keep it that way. So long story short now that my daughter is almost 1 years old i am now finally trying to get my old figure back. This whole year i havent done anything to try and get my figure back until now. Exactly 3 weeks and 4 days ago i decided that i was going to change my eating habits and the way i took control of my food intake. So i decided to first try the jillian michaels cleanser kit which has the fat burner in the kit that you have to take for a week after you take the cleanser. I took the whole package in 2 weeks and i did notice a difference with that. So i decided to continue to take the fat burners that i bought off ebay and i can tell you from expeierence that it does work. I weighed myself 3 weeks ago and i weighed 179lbs, i weighed myself againg yesterday and i now weigh 167lbs so that means in 3 weeks i lost 12lbs. I can tell you that i feel super happy that i even lost that much weight. I no longer need to wear my maternity paints anymore thank goodness. I know that by me taking the fat burners it is helping me get to the weight that i want to be at. Now i do also eat about 1200 calories a day and i work out atleast 3-4 days a week for about 30 minutes. I have noticed that the fat burner does curb my appeitte alot so i dont feel as hungry as i used to. I also notice that i feel full alot more now even if i havent eaten in a while, and im okay with that. I know that everyone is different and it might not work for you, but i know from my expeirence that it is working for me. So by me taking it now for about 3 weeks i have lost 12 lbs and for me thats a big accomplishmint. I cant wait till the day that i can fit in my size 7 paints again lol. Right now im wearing a size 11 paints and they are already feeling loose. And 3 months ago i couldnt even button them up thats why i was still wearing my maternity paints wich is very deprressing. So all i can finish saying is DONT GIVE UP..stay motivated and positive and dont get discuriged if you dont see any weight loss in the first week but trut me if you keep up with it you'll start seeing the weight come off you just have to be patient. I am giving myself 3 months to try and get back to where i was before. So now i am almost done with a whole month and i am seeing the results already. Just stay strong and if you really want to lose the weight you will do all you can to get their in a healthy way. And trust me i know what its like to crave all that junk food. Its espcially hard sometimes when you are married to someone who eats whatever they want whenever they want but i know and i tell myself whenever i want that chocolate cake or pizza that the minute that food hits my stomach its only going to make me stay fat and i will never lose the weight and cake and pizza is not worth me staying fat for. So good luck and enjoy your new body when you get their :) Okay here goes my side on this product.

I bought the cleanse and burn pack and back to clean eating and working out. I did the cleansing as directed, no side effects, no results. I went on to the fat burner pills. After 5 days I was extremely bloated and had bad gas, which I've never had an issue with in my life. Day 6 I had horrible diarrhea so I stopped taking. I also somehow managed to gain 7 pounds and several inches with no change in my body fat percentage. My clothes were tighter, and I was more miserable than before. After being off the pills for 1 week, I tried the fat burners alone at a half dose on a full stomach, and this time, after 2 days I have severe diarrhea again with abdominal cramping. Originally, I admit, the pills gave me the alert feeling I needed to get up early and push through a morning workout. But at the cost of severe abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and needing medical treatment? Not worth it. I tried taking the pills back to the store, who told me to contact the manufacturer for a refund. Waiting to hear from them. I also noticed, I have to drink more than an 8 oz glass of water with the pills, otherwise there is a severe burning feeling at the top of my stomach, which is pretty scary. Needless to say, if I could give this product 0 stars I would. Good luck every one! Like it says, these aren't for everyone, and they aren't for me! Also tried to give more details, but the website thinks I'm spammy. At 211 after having a baby. I bought the cleanse and burn pack and back to clean eating and working out.
