I bought these because I was looking for something to simply curb appetite. Not interested in any magic pill because I eat healthy 80% of the time & workout 3-5 days a weeks. My biggest problem is snacking, especially at night. I decided to continue my success in staying lean I needed something to feel full. I am 5'9 & weigh 174. Im interested in losing 10-15 lbs in combo with excercise & diet. So far, it has curbed my appetite, normally by 10 am I am starving! And by 10pm too. And I havent been since I started this. I took 2 pills, because with 1, I started feeling my hunger pains kick in. I do eat, but willpower can get low sometimes for the wrong foods. Also ordered 'belly blaster' You take at night, has melantonin in it. Will update in 3 weeks. UPDATE 9/14/15 (originally started pills 9/3). So, after 2 weeks of taking these, I have not lost a lot of weight, I am eating well and working out. About 4 lbs tops. The problems for me with these pills is that, yes, you do get full, however, I feel and look full too! The point is that I don't want to look bloated. It stops me from eating too much of the wrong foods but I might as well if I'm going to look and feel bloated. Moving on the garcinia cambodgia 750mg. Purchased on amazon as well for 19.99. Good luck to anyone out there trying to eat right & exercise instead of getting plastic surgery.
