Does Garcinia Cambogia really work?

If I take it while still exercising and eating right, will it help me lose weight?

  • I wouldn't recommend it. A scientific review of all the published studies on Garcinia Cambogia shows that the average effect on weight loss is minimal, less than 1kg (about 2lbs). Some studies even showed no weight loss at all. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions (diarrhea) are a possible side effect. http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jobes/2011/509038/

    Fat-burning substances simply do not exist. In order to lose weight it's necessary to eat less, not just "eating right". If you find it difficult to reduce your food intake try L-phenylalanine. It's an aminoacid i.e. a natural substance normally occurring in food. It's quite cheap and it's widely available as a food supplement. It greatly reduces food cravings by releasing a substance in your body (cholecystokinin) that makes you feel full. Try 500mg of L-phenylalanine on an empty stomach 30 minutes to one hour before a meal. It will greatly reduce your appetite and you'll feel full with a much smaller amount of food. The effect lasts several hours however you can take another 500mg during the rest of the day,always on an empty stomach. If you don't notice any effect the dosage can be doubled without risk since it's a natural and non-toxic substance.

    L-Phenylalanine's effect on reducing appetite (and therefore causing weight loss) has been well documented over the years, at first on monkeys and then on humans:

    If you decide to try it, be careful: there are three different forms of phenylalanine and the one that reduces appetite is L-phenylalanine only. There's also D-phenylalanine and DL-Phenylalanine but they have no effect on food cravings.

    I tried it myself and I can say it works very well making it easy to reduce food intake.

  • According to the real scientific studies it works oly for few weeks. Good diet with lot of vegetables and proteins and quality workout is better than any "miracle" pills out there.

  • yea but the keys are

    exercising an eating right

    the supplment is just a bonus
