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've been taking akavar for one month now. I am eating sensible and walking 2 nights a week and swimming 3 nights a week. I have noticed a change in my body and I have lost 14 lbs. It feels as though I am losing it in a healthy manner and not too dangerously quick.

This is only my seccond day on it and its true you get tones of energy, i take two pills twice a day but i would reccoment that you stop taking your pill at about 3 or 4 if you want to et to bed at a dencent hour.. i took two last night at about 6 and i was up for 12 hours wide awake.. im only 5"2' so im going to try taking two pills in the morning and two at around lunch and see if this will help with all the caffine.. i am eating alot less and have lost 2 pounds already.. im hopeing to have time to run an hour or two a day and see how this goes. im hoping to loose at least 15 pounds a month.. at the rate im going i will be triple if not more that :) good luck everyone!!

I am a 5 foot 3 inches, 25-year-old Asian who always gain weight when I am back here in the States. I had tried taking 4 different diet pills already to help me get rid of 25 pounds that I have gained for a little over a year of staying here. None of them worked! Been taking Avakar 20/50 for 12 days now and I have lost 5 pounds so far! I used to be 150 pounds and that is alot of weight for my 5'3 height! I am so excited not because of my weight getting down to 145 lbs., but because of the fat I had lost around my tummy area. (I want to get down to 120 lbs. where I was a year ago). I can get in my size 4 jeans now! It is unbelievable because I thought it will take me at leas 6 months to be able to wear my size 4 jeans. I am not saying just take Avakar and expect to lose weight. It does not work that way for me anyways. I am on a low-calorie, low-carb, 5 small meals diet a day. Started it about 2 weeks ago also along with a 30 minute pilates and exercise with the exercise ball. What is great about Avakar is it controls your hunger, but it gives you alot of energy so better adjust your schedule -you will get more things done. BTW, I have to drink more water with this diet pill, it gives me headache if I do not. I had noticed I have been feeling more thirsty than hungry with Avakar. I recommend this to anybody who wants to lose weight, but do it in a healthy way - with proper diet and exercise. I will be back when I can say "Goodbye 150 pounds me, welcome to a happier, healthier 120-pounds petite frame!"

I just got these pills today. I'm 5'7" and around 140-145. I'm not big I just need that extra boost to get rid of belly fat. Im going to start taking it tomorrow. If nothing happens within 2 weeks I;m switching to something else. And there is no magical diet pill out there people. I already work out and eat pretty healthy, but I just can't seem to loose the weight I want. =[

Hi, I just finished my first bottle of akavar 20/50. I have lost 20 pounds so far and I think that because INSTEAD of eating what I wanted, I ate healthy foods and excercised, I am on my way to my goal weight using this product. Previously I was excersicing and eating healthy but not seeing results. ANYONEWHO THINKS THEY CAN EAT WHAT THEY WANT AND LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT EXCERSICE IS A . This diet pill along with common sense is effective.

Okay, so it's my 2nd day on Akavar, no symptomps of any sort.I just hope it will work!

Why would anyone want to take something that the ingredients and side effects are not made known or clear? Shove yourself away from the feeding trough, get off the couch and DO SOMETHING, and think of Mc Donalds, Wendy's and all the other fast food place as OUT OF BUSINESS. The public is constantly being "fooled" into buying stuff that they know nothing about. Do the reserach.

I am 18 years old, I weight 169 and i am 5.5 tall wich means yea, I need to lose that belly fat! I do eat pretty good & healthy stuff and no junks. I also exercise everyday and drink up to 10 glasses of water, dosen't work for me. Pills would be I think my only chance.

I LOVE these pills i got on them just because i have tried every diet pill put on wal-marts shelves i can honestly say that in 3 months i lost 4 inches off my waist. i started by only taking 2 a day and than 4 a day im 22 years old and work from 8-545 than 6-3am so they give me all the energy i need to keep me going and not feel hungry at all. ill admit i was very leary at first but now it is the only diet pill i will use.

Have been taking Akavar for about a month now. NO weight loss at all. I was looking on the internet for what may be causing some (what I would call) extreme Vertigo and numb feelings around my mouth, and think I have found the answer, I will be throwing the rest of the bottle in the trash. Being a little overweight isn't worth having dizzy spells that could cause a serious accident especially when driving. This stuff sucks, plus I haven't lost a pound!

All the company did was repackage their old product Retiva...Didn't work under that name and doesn't work under new packaging.

I have been taking the pill for a week, but i have not weighed yet, does decrease appetite and will give you heartburn if you do not drink enough water, gives me lots of energy, will post in another week on loss or gain

I have been taken this pill for a week and I've lost two pounds but i think this is just a hype because if i continue to drink this much water before a meal without the pills i believe i wouldn't be hungry cuz water fills you up.

I was taking Akavar for about 2 weeks, when I had an bad episode with Vertigo. 2 weeks prior to that my daughter, who was taking them as well, had what she thought was a panic attack while driving home, but put it down to maybe having too much caffeine that day. We both stopped taking it for now, but we will try it again. Hopefully nothing like that happens again, but if it does, we will definately know it is the Akavar.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I bought the pills 2 1/2wks ago and they gave the worse chest pain. So I took them back to Wal-Mart and they refunded my money, no questions asked. As long as you do it within 30 days, they will refund you.

The success I previously reported was not as I thought. It has now been a few months since I started (I wish this site had time/date stamps on the messages). I stepped on a scale the other day and to my chagrin, I have not lost a single pound at all, though my body shape did, for a while, look slimmer. Despite trying to cut doewn on my eating (so as to help the pills do their job) and avoiding the really high-calorie stuff altogether, Akavar did not work for me. I cannot recommend it to anyone at this point.

Well, after reading a majority of the posts, I honestly feel that the pill may do some good to speed up the weight loss process. I recently had a let down in my own personal weight loss goal. I had been increasing my physical activity, ie, eliptical machine at home and upper body workouts with my husband's curl bar and then last week we spent it abroad in Europe where in fact we spent the majority of our trip walking and climbing stairs. Surprise, surprise, Europeans don't eat super sized portions that we're soooo used to here, but they sure enjoy sucking on those cancer sticks. So I really didn't pig out over there. Anyway, long story short, got back home expecting a weight loss, but no sir! Nothing! Extremely frustrated with my stagnation, I've started Avakar today. Don't feel any side effects, but of course I usually don't pop more than one pill at a time, sensitivity issues. I also bought a scale which measures water and body fat levels. Let's see what happens. Currently I am 5'5", 155 pounds, body fat a whopping 36%! I am mother of two and work full time. I will keep you all posted for those interested. Good luck to everyone.

Hi guys!! I tried a lot of diet pills to help me get to my ideal weight... nothing helped but AKAVAR. I do understand when people are worried about side effects and stuff, but gotta try it out and sometimes it may work for some people and for some other don't. But I am amazed... I've always been a lover of sweets and carbs... and I've gone through some rough times, working out and dieting without losing weight or losing a little and gaining it back... and for the first time, I feel there's something that works, and really helps you to make the job done. The pill doesn't make it happen, it's you that gotta make it happen. I've been 4 days taking this, and I never felt so happy, my cravings are down to 0, and when I have to eat, i don't eat as much as i used to, i eat without anxiety... I lost like 3 lbs in 4 days... taking one pill a day, eating pretty healthy, without dieting. I woudln't lie in such a serious matter. Health is not a joke, I see this product as a supplement, not a miracle pill. Congrats to everyone losing weight with akavar!! =)

Hello everyone, I would like to share my story. Since I was a baby I have always been fat (Grammar School, H.S., College) by the age of 22 I reached 245lbs, off course everybody made fun of me all through my school years didn?t have many friends?One day I told myself that it was enough and with diet and exercise I was able to go down to 165lbs. I show my co-workers pictures of how I use to be and they can?t believe that?s me?.I think I reached a plateau and decided to try this pill. I have been on it for about 3 week and so far I have lost 10lbs. I really try to eat healthy (Soy Shake for breakfast & dinner) lunch is usually a spinach, tuna salad or lean cuisine?I run 2 miles everyday and 20 minutes on the elliptical machine I also do weights twice a week to try to tighten all the lose skin. I take the pill in the morning for breakfast and lunch. Once the month is over I?ll start taking the pill 3 times a day?
