BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
Akavar 20/50 is a European weight loss pill that has achieved much success. It has made its move to the U.S. seeking the same. Akavar boasts that it is the ultimate fat cure and that you'll see the results you seek without any diet restrictions or inclusion of exercise.
Akavar is designed to restrict your daily caloric intake to less than normal. Without those calories that your body requires for energy, you'll start to use your fat reserves. This will of course cause you to lose weight and inches. However, you'll immediately gain back that weight should you stop using Akavar. The website offers little-to-know information about the product leaving open many questions about the supplement.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
PRO
- Promotes eating all you like and still seeing weight loss
- Reduces urge to overeat
- Do not have to count calories
- Won't feel hungry
CON
Akavar 20/50 leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the more concerning details include:
- Promotes a lifestyle without exercise and healthy diet
- No FDA approval
- Web site offers very little information
- No published clinical research
- Does not publish ingredients
- Contains caffeine
INGREDIENTS
It takes a lot of research to find what is inside those little Akavar tablets, as the product's website bypasses any discussion. Akavar includes many caffeine sources including xanthine and green tea leaf. Other ingredients include yerba mate, guarana seed, ginger root, kola nut, Tibetan ginseng, cocoa nut, rice flour, yellow no. 6, red no. 3 and Gelatin, among many others.
CONCLUSION
Akavar 20/50 leaves a lot of open questions- which really leads to concerns about both the product's effectiveness and impact on the body. With so many diet pills and supplements on the market, it is important for manufacturers to paint a detailed picture of the product to help consumers make the most educated decisions. Many diet pills and supplements provide all of the information that Akavar seems to have conveniently left out. It is also a little misleading that without diet and exercise you can still lose weight. Anyone who has ever committed to losing weight knows that without important changes to diet and exercise, results are often not achieved.

+I have been using it since Jan 20th and I must say IT DOES WORK! since I am sensitive to caffeine and allergic to so many things I started off with 1 per day. It made me so full of energy and I had trouble sleeping for about two weeks. My heart would race when I would walk up the stairs, but other than that I was fine. I also started a rigorous workout routine and cut back on a lot of foods. After two weeks, I was down almost 20 inches-but only 3 lbs, that's ok because inches are more visible than pounds.
posted Feb 23rd, 2009 3:30 pmHere's the thing---I started taking 4 per day, then I started having trouble breathing, walking up the stairs, and then I was fussing at my son and I felt like I was about to have a heart attack two weekends ago..It took me a few days to realize that it was the pills, so I stopped taking them, but continued to work out and eat healthy...after two weeks I hadnt lost a single pound or an inch.
So now this is proof positive that the pills were definitely helping me to lose fat very quickly...
I just started back to taking them 2 days ago, this time I will only stick to 1 or 2 per day, and I already am noticing my ring getting much looser on my finger, and I never gained the 18 inches lost back.
So I will say just use wisdom, but by all means they do work! Just be careful with taking the 4 per day...that was pretty scary!

+Hi, I have been on Akavar for 45 days now. I purchased a bottle at Costco Qty=60 for $13.00. I have only 15 pounds to lose. Basically my jeans were just getting too tight. My biggest problem is that I am a stress eater and often overeat. I am also sensitive to stimulants like chromium and caffeine. This is how I take Akavar: I always get 8 hours of sleep. I get up in the morning and have a huge breakfast, then I take one Akavar. It lasts me all day and food is not on my mind at all. I eat a healthy lunch and a small healthy dinner and have no urge to snack. I did have to give up coffee and any other caffeinated drinks, but I didn't mind. I have lost 8 pounds now and I will probably just finish the bottle and be good . It's not a miracle drug, but it just aids me with my food intake. I have not checked my blood pressure, but I will check that next time I am at the grocery store. It also gives me some extra energy to do more, and that burns extra calories too.

If you're only on the first day or three of taking this pill, please don't post a positive or negative review! I understand that you're excited that your clothes feel looser after just 12 hours, but it totally skews the rating of the product. A few pounds of initial water weight does not equal an effective weight loss product. I'm just trying to research the product, and all of these "I started taking the pill yesterday, and I've already lost 2lbs" posts are a waste of everyone's time.

I used Akavar about a month ago and stopped because I actually gained 3 pounds while using this product...I have started back up again and I am only taking 1 pill a day until 7 days have passed...I have been working out and I am doing a lowere calorie intake "diet" I drink about 72 ounces of water a day...no soda or juice and I am really gassy and #2 everyday ( sorry TMI ..but this is a review;)) I really think I will do better this time if I dedicate myself :) m

Just started taking Akvar this evening with dinner. I'm keeping a food diary to track my progress. I decided also to cut back on soda (i drink way to much coke :D) and also to cut out fast food completely. I am unfortunately not a *very* active individual, but i am on my feet all day at work.
posted Feb 16th, 2009 4:15 amI am 23 y/o, 5'5" and weigh 160. I weighed 130 before I got pregnant with my daughter (she's two now) and I weighed 195 at my heaviest (while preg). So i've still got about 35 lbs of "baby" weight to lose. (I know i gained way way too much).
You keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll keep mine crossed for you :D
Good luck everyone!

+So far Akavar hasn't ahd any negative side effects on me. I've been taking it for 3 days today. When I started I decided to cut out soda and to watch what I eat more. I am 25yrs old. 5'6 and weigh about 157lbs. I wanna get back down to 140. I'm not looking for a miracle. I plan on incorporating some exercise into my life. I don't care what a bottle says... You can't eat what you want, not exercise, and lose weight. You have to work with it. There isn't a miracle pill that can do that. I have been a little more um.. gassy since I started the pills but I can deal with that if it helps me shed some pounds fr the summer. :) So far not bad.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried breaking the akavar pills and dissolving the powder in water to take them? I can't swallow pills & I was just wondering if taking it this way would increase ne side effects?

+I started it 2 days ago I feel excellent have so much energy and I love it I am also doing the atkins diet though as well

I started with Akavar 3 days ago and so far, I am impressed. I have a higher tolerance to caffeine, so the side effects weren't too bad. I have noticed that I am less hungry, especially at the dinner hour and in the evening, which is my worst time of day as far as cravings go.
posted Feb 4th, 2009 4:51 pmI am drinking a lot of water and am working out for at least 30 minutes a day (which is necessary for weight loss). I would say, that the combination of Akavar and water/exercise is working really well and I'm looking forward to seeing my results at the end of the week.
As far as eating anything you want, I can only say that if food is eaten in moderation, it's never a bad thing.
I don't think that if you eat junk food, take this pill and don't work out that you will lose weight. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way. It's not magic.

+I am 19... I've been taking it for a few days now and I like it... I'm just worried that when I get to where I want to be as far as weight goes (about 15 lbs. from here), it will all come right back if I STOP taking AKAVAR. I guess we'll see... I don't want DEPENDANCE on anything.

+I've used this the past few months..I was 220 lbs and I'm down to 185 and working toward 180. I didn't change my lifestyle such as adding exercise. I love these pills..kept my appetite down and added to my energy.

I started taking the pills yesturday. I took 2 for lunch and 2 for dinner. I guess it had an effect on how late I ate. I could not go to sleep for the longest, it felt like I was paranoid, and I had a rapid heartbeat. I didnt go to sleep till about 2 or 3 this morning, it was the worst feeling in the world and I dont want to ever feel like that again. So I started up again today only taking one for breakfast and one for lunch, I feel that I have NO energy and am super thirsty, I will also start working out to see a better outcome. I have seen and read good reviews. I hope I get the same. I also wish to loose at least 35 lbs. I am 24 years old, 5'1 and weigh about 190, i have 2 kids and would like to be more involved w/ doing activities w/ them. I will keep you guys posted and let you know if I see any results.
posted Jan 19th, 2009 5:06 pmAlso I feel the need to "snack" on something about every 2 hours, but I am only eating fruits, we'll see what the results are!!!

+I'm pretty impressed. Lost 5lbs the first week. You can eat all you want but you just don't want to eat. I started with one pill at lunch and one pill at dinner. The first day or two I had a headache but it has subsided. I have now increased to two pills at lunch and two at dinner. I am not sensitive to caffeine or its relatives but I'd highly recommend people who are to stay away. I also stopped drinking sodas which I'm sure helped with the weight loss. I didn't go to akavar for a miracle but something that could help with the cravings which is exactly what it has done. I will be adding an exercise program back to my routine which should help with further weight loss. I don't have a lot to lose but needed help in getting started.

+I just started it today. I'm hoping it will work for me. One thing I've noticed is that it makes me eanna drink alot of water. Ive also already noticed a decrease in appetite. I am 5'8" and 205lbs would like to lose at least 5olbs. I will post updates. Wish me luck.

I started the pills today. I am only going to take 2 pills per day to start - 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner. I have reached the point of no return with my weight - no clothes fit and I don't want to buy anymore!

I've been taking AKAVAR for about 12 days now. It definitely decreases the appetite, and gives an energy 'buzz' unlike that of plain caffeine.
posted Jan 18th, 2009 8:10 amBut personally, I dispute their claim that you can eat all you want and still lose weight. I started a reduced calorie diet in addition to the pills and I've dropped next to nothing.
I would warn people to start off taking one pill instead of two until you know how it will affect you. Especially if you take other caffeine related products or drink coffee/tea. I could see this being heart attack in a bottle if taken in excess.
