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.
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.
This product really works. I started using this a month ago. My height is 5'8 my starting weight was 282. Since using AKAVAR I am rarely hungry and eat regular. Once I started seeing results I joinned Ballys and started work out in the Aerobics class 2 days a week for 30 mins each day.
It has been a month now, my current weight is 246.
It works!

definitely takes away the appetite, if possible seems like my taste buds are more attuned to what I eat, salty out! fat yuck! but anything in the vegetable and fruit department taste marvelous... I even have to cook my meat extra well to tolerate it, smaller portions too. Really like this product! BUT.... I only take 2 or 3 a day never 2 at a time as it makes my heart race 1 before each meal is perfect but not after 4 pm or you'll be up all night.
Drink lots of water... about 2 lbs a wk. so far.....

i am going to start the pills today, before lunch !! i dont eat a lot but, lately i was starting to eat too much junk food. but last week i converted back to eating healthy food, so hopefully the pill will boost my weight loss. im 5'7 and 170 wich i have been stuck at for almost 3 years, prior to other weight loss, nothing seems to work for me because of this long term plauteu and i want to be 140 by the beginning of may !! i have got to say tho, that some of the posts have got me wondering if this only acts as a water pill, because some of the weight loss seems that way such as 2 - 5 pound in a day or two, hopefully its more than a water pill, cuz that will just be gained back upon not taking the pills !! anyhow we shall see .. wish me luck and good luck to everyone !!!

I've read such a mix in reviews... But so far I've lost 4 pds in 4 days... I like how I'm not always starving anymore, but it's verryyy hard for me to sleep. Don't take it after 6... My opinion. I was 140 now 136, going for 115.

i am just going to start it today not sure what i think yet if your not hungry do you have to eat ??? i hate breakfast
I have tried ALOT of diet pills and they never worked for me. 1 year ago i recieved a brown shirt and couldnt even fit it! I was so shocked and sad. I began seeing adds for akvar and decided to give pills 1 more try and 2 weeks later the shirt fit!! I even had extra room in it! Akavar really does work, just drink alot of water with it. I barely worked out and it still did it's job. Im back on it now and im sure the pounds will shed again!

Scary alert! Something very strange just happened. Be sure to take your Akavar with a FULL glass of water.
I took it with only a sip and then about 5 minutes later the weirdest thing happened. I had my mouth open, flossing my teeth, and suddenly it's like the pill exploded. Came up my throat and nose (rather painfully) and there was a puff of white powder that came out my mouth.
Needless to say I had a bit of a panic then chugged a bunch of water. I feel okay, but my throat is a bit sore now and the experience was unpleasant in general.
Anyway, I just started taking the Akavar yesterday. Am only taking one pill at decent intervals because I am concerned about the amount of caffeine (195MG / 2 capsules).
I haven't been hungry since I started taking it, but am also taking Hoodia (although I am less than confident in the purity of the Hoodia I purchased), and I am a coffee drinker.
I'll probably report back with a proper rating once I've been on it longer.

Hi, I'm a 19 year-old living life to the fullest since I've been taking Akavar I've lost 17lbs in 4 weeks but I also used Redline Princess to help me burn calories and give me energy. The biggest surprise was I didn't exercise at all and I ate what I want , I know this might sound unture but its not because, this is first time in 2 years I've been under 200lbs. So I don;t kno if it works for you but it does for me.

I just started Akavar today and my appetite has decreased quite noticeably. Obviously everyone will see different results, if any at all. I just had an 8lb 7 1/4oz baby boy Oct. 8th, so I want to get back to my normal weight. I am 146lbs now and want to be 130 by April. That's when I'm tying the knot. I will keep ya posted on how it goes. Good luck everyone.

I have tried it several times and have had success with it. After taking it for a couple weeks, I kept waking up and just not eating. I wasn't hungry at all. It's such a relief, because normally, I'm constantly starving.

I started it this morning. I plan on taking one every morning for weekdays and one morning, one lunch one weekends. So far, it's almost lunchtime and normally I'm starving and so hungry I'm sick by now, but I'm barely hungry! It's wonderful! I only want to lose 10-20 pounds and I think I can with this product!
