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 pill works people. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I was at a stand still. I started to take the pill and I've lost inches of body fat. If you want to lose weight no matter what the pill claims, eat clean food and do a little excersise. Don't sit on the couch and feed your faces!!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE TRYING THIS PILL:
okay. so right now im looking at this site trying to find out about this.. so i have been takign this pill for about 8 days...
and i feel full before i eat and everything but the thing is is that i feel LIKE VOMMITING AND I HAVE A MAYJOR HEADACHE!!!!!!!
i feel tierd and lazy and only lost 3 puonds and thats along with dieting...
and another thing is that the box says TAKE 2 PILLS WITH A GLASS OF WATER AND WAIT 15 MIN. B4 EATINGbut the containor says TAKE ONE PILL WITH GLASS OF WATER AND WAIT 15 MIN,. B4 EATING...
so my conclusion is that this may work but its not the worth feeling like and wanting to puke ur guts out and have pounding headaches..
but if ur still wanting to do it i suggest holding an ice pack to ur stomach if u feel sick .. like i am while im typing this message!!

It may work for some and not for others, everybody is different. I tried several different diet pills before and some of them didn?t do a thing, some actually even increased my apetite. Akavar works for me a million times better than any of the top rated diet pills. I have not experienced significant weight loss but I?ve lost a few lbs (I only need to drop 15lbs to begin with) steadily. One thing I noticed, however, it does curb my appetite like no other. Being hungry all the time and not feeling full after a huge meal had always been a problem for me. Akavar took care of it. I don?t care what everybody else thinks, it works for me with no side effects. This is the only thing I care about. I started to read this forum only because I saw that Akavar got really low ratings among the diet pills currently on the market and I got curious if I was one of the few this pill worked for. I guess there are a lot of people who share my experience. My advice--try it and if it doesn?t work stop taking it and try something else.

I have just taken 4 Akavar pills, and I threw the whole bottle in the trash can today. After only 4 pills, I was so dizzy I couldn't even hold my head up, I felt like I was going to pass out, and I felt sick to my stomach. I did just as the directions said, 2 pills before a meal, and I have to say, Akavar has turned me against all diet pills. I will lose weight the old fashioned way from here on out. You don't feel hungry because these pills makes you so sick, even the thoughts of food makes your stomach turn. Please, people, wise up, there is no pill that will allow you to eat all you want and still lose weight. Just drink the glass of water before meals without a pill, and you will get the same results.

How stupid can some of you women be? Anyone with common sense would know you cannot not eat all you want and everything you want and still loose weight. Yes, I know what the label states however, what that mean is "eat all you want and still loose weight because you're not going to feel hungry." You want result without putting any work in. Get up off your lazy butts exercise and change your eating habits than maybe you WILL LOOSE WEIGHT

Tried Everything
I have been Taking Akavar for 3 weeks. I now wake up in extreme pain every morning and I am experiencing heart flutters. I have lost about 4 pounds so far. I do not eat out of control and exercise about three times a week. I was trying to enhance what I am already doing but this seems to have deteriorated my health. If you are taking it...STOP. Its not worth it.

well, im 5'7 and weigh about 180, but i don't really expect to lose weight, i just want to slim down, like inches, so i started today, i took one before breakfast, but only ate a banana, then one before lunch, and ate about half of a portion of fries, i know i know it's bad for you but thats all i would eat for today. usually since school started today im always hitting the cafeteria BUT today i walked in and didnt even look at the snacks i just grabbed a big water bottle and left. so this has lowered my snacking habit and i no longer crave anything. i do feel energetic, but i usually am very yper and i dont consume anything with caffine, so i was a bit worried since thats all the pill is. but so far so good. i will post next week.

I just started taking these a few days ago. I have noticed a little bit of dizzyness and a bit of an upset stomach, but I'm giving it some time as my body reacts that way sometimes to new things. Anyways, I'm only using Akavar as a supplement and eating healthier and working out whenever I can. I don't think there's any miracle pills that can help you lose weight without you changing your diet or meeting your exercise needs. I'll keep you updated on this pills progress. I am eating less and I highly recommend that for those that are eating way less that you take some sort of multivitamins as well. I've been keeping a record log of what and how much I'm eating and the exercising that I've been doing. My weigh in before starting Akavar was 179 and I'm 5'2". I haven't weighed in yet since starting Akavar, but I definitely feel a little bit better. My goal weight is about 125 give and take. I don't mind being a little more provided that extra weight is muscle and not fat. I've read a few comments stating that as soon as your stop taking this pill that you will gain back all the weight. I'm curious to hear more feedback from people who have stopped and how their body reacted. I think that as long as you continue to drink a lot of water, eat healthy and no overeat and continue to exercise then you should be fine and not gain all the weight back should you stop taking Akavar.

Good Luck Danielle, and Liz.
Danille, I 100% agree with you, it is ridiculous that people can think, they can eat whatever junk food, or as much as they want, and still lose weight. I still have not had much of an appetite, but you have to eat sensibly, and watch your calorie in-take. Also you must exercise.
I run, and walk the dog. A good at home exercise which is walking is Walk away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone, she is wonderful, and those of you who are looking for fun, easy exercise this would be a great DVD.
I have lost 5 more pounds, so I have lost 9 pounds total since my last visit. I will continue to keep you all posted, on my progress.

I started the pills yesterday and they definately worked as far as me being hungry. I ate 3 meals and snacked maybe twice, which i usually snack all day!! Felt a little jittery here n there but other than that was fine. I took the last two pills around 5:30 and ended up not going to bed until 1 a.m. I am usually asleep at 9:30. So taking them later in day might keep you up. Havent stepped on a scale yet but I'll let you know at end of first week. I have 3 weeks until the beach and I hope to lose maybe 15 lbs in that time.

I started it yesterday n lost 2 pounds! So now i have only 10 more pounds to go once i reach my goal weight (110lbs). Despite the fact it says you can eat whatever you want and still loose weight, Ive been counting every calorie i ingest 4 the past year and am also vegetarian, barely eat junk if any and exercise regularly. That being said if u add a sensible diet and exercise you will more then likely see results quicker and that is written more then once on the sheet that comes inside the box of Akavar 20/50. I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, and tone up within 2-3 weeks! wish me luck!!!
