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 started taking them on 2/19 and as of this morning I have lost almost 5 pounds. I have not changed my eating habits. I think I need to adjust my time to take them tho, because I take 2 around 7 am and another 2 at around 11:45, so I am thinking of cutiing the morning to just 1 and taking the other one around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I need the extra help in late afternoon and evening. I hope it won't keep me up at night.

So far, so good! I have lost 3 lbs in 3 days. I went to the store and bought another bottle, just in case it gets removed from the shelves. I would recommend. Has worked so far for me and I haven't changed my eating habits.

went to the drs on weds and she told me I needed to take some weight off, (big surprise). I had bought akavar over the summer and took it for about a week and then stopped because I didn't see results, but I had the bottle in my dorm, so I decided to give it another go. I started back up on it yesterday on a 4 pill a day regimen, so let's see how it goes! I weighed in at 171 at the dr's office...I'm hoping to get to about 120 or less due to my height. (5'2)

Hmmm... I'm not really sure what to think so far? I've been taking it about a week so far, and I havn't actually stepped on the scale, but I don't really feel like I've lost much weight, if any? I have also been dieting with it, so I don't know if thats a very good sign that I don't feel much improvement? I am a new mother, and looking for a way to help me lose my pregnancy weight. I feel like my pants may be a little looser, but that may just be all in my head. I can say as a plus though my appetite has been suppressed, there has been a couple nights this week, I've actually forgotten to eat dinner all together. But I am also seeming a little more forgetful on other things too. So there seems to be plus's and minus's but I'm really thinking it all does depend on the person. Also a little worried I heard once you quit taking it you gain all your weight back, I know at 19 I don't want to be taking this pill the rest of my life, so I guess my results and if I continue to take the pill are to be determined...

I totally agree with Jennifer. You've to adhere to a proper diet including more veggies and fruits, and whole grains for your carbs, I started taking these pills two days ago,feels very jittery, and weird. I'll continue to take them until finished, like robin I've 30lbs to go,however I did lose 50 lbs by diet,excerise. My diet excluded meat,poultry& seafood (30min eleptical) It seems I 've hit my plateau, at 180. Will post my weight in 30 days, good luck !

Feb 20th: On day three of diet pills. Weights 136 and desire 120. Been a size 4 my whole life and now an 8 in under a year. Had a seperation and major stress followed. I have changed to almost 100% organic diet and feel better, but just can't shed these extra pounds. The 1st day I felt the caffeine...shaky hands. Second day I just drank more water. Appetite is supressed and energy levels up. No problems sleeping....yet. I will post weight on Feb 22nd. Look for my sername so you will know it is me (Jamjen). I am only taking 1 pill in morning on my way to work with a bottle water....I take another one before lunch @ 1:00PM with a bottle water. I notice if I drink water throughout day...jitters not bad. If you are 5'3 and 135 and looking to shed 10-15 pounds you gained by having kids and not having time to go to gym...look for my posts. If something great happens to me, it might help you. On saturday and sunday I will take 2 pills at one time...I do not want to be jitters at work. I will keep posting...loook for username Jamjen

I just recently bought these pills. Will post my weight in one week. As of today, I weigh 176 pounds. Need to be back down to about 125...wish me luck!!

Hey everyone! I just started taking the pills yesterday. I am sure I haven't lost any weight, but I definitely have less of an appetite....And I have a BIG appetite! I do feel rather weird though. A little dizzy...my head feels strange. I hope this stuff works and is safe. I'm not used to caffeine; I only drink water normally. I just stopped taking a pill called Crevax. I was on it for 2 weeks. Like most diet pills, it promised results, but I didn't see any. Actually a 2 pound weight gain with those, even though I was working out and eating healthy. We are all different though. What works for one, may not work for another. That is obvious by the wealth of reviews here. I will update in a week to share my results. Good luck everyone! :)

Hey everyone! I just bought these pills. And I am not that "overweight" but yes, after having 2 kids and laying around, naturally, I have gained weight. I used to be very active and weighed 125 pounds. After I gave birth to my second child, I had LOADS of trouble getting the weight off. I ran track in high school, so I know what it takes, as I said, was very active. But now, my husband is in the US Navy, and I run with him in the mornings. He is now on deployment, and I've been pretty stressed lately, and got out of running. Need to get that weight off before he comes home in 6 months. I will post again, if I have results...THANKS!!

I bought my Akavar in the second week of January and I can honestly say that I loved the results at first. I lost between 9-11 pounds in the first 3 weeks. I have cut down taking them the last week and a half because I have been having some horrible nightmares when I can finally fall asleep. I can only sleep maybe 4 hrs anight and that isnt in a row. I'll sleep maybe an hour or 2 before I wake up from some horrible nightmares. With anything you have to be very careful and honestly research the product from sites like these and most importantly check with a doctor. Good Luck to all and I hope you have great results with this product. I will be changing to another product today because of my side effects!

Hey everyone, I am 37yrs old and I have 2 teenage boy's. I have been married 18yrs. Today is 2/17/08 I started back on akavar this morning. I have retained alot of fluid due to being sick and not taking my medication like I am supposed to. I weighed in this morning at 314lbs. My feet are swollen to were I couldn't ware my tennis shoes. My hands and face are the same way. But I will get back on track. I was throwing up so much that my medicine would not stay down. I didn't just stop taking my prescribed medicine. I am feeling mu7ch better though.

I have been on Akavar for about 3 weeks now. To be honest with everyone I have skipped a few days due to some hectic times here. I just wanted to say that I have lost about 6lbs and a little advise for everyone, especially those of you who are like me and are not eating very much, you may want to consider taking a daily vitamin and protein supplement due to if you do not get enough vitamins and protein your body will go in to starvation mode and all that you do eat will be stored as fat and you will not be loosing FAT but loosing muscle mass instead.

I have tried taking twice and the last time I ended up in the emergency room. Both times I had severe stomach pain that lasted for about 3 days. Think I'm done with it.

I started taking Akavar yesterday. It made me feel extremely full before I even ate and when I started to eat, I could only eat a few bites. I felt like I would vomit if I ate anymore than that. Today, it is the same. I love it! I will update!

I think Loretta's progress is inspirational. Keep up the good work there, Girlfriend! I am a 37 year old wife and mother who works and goes to law school. I got out of the medical field after 10 years because it simply wasn't for me. I bought this product yesterday and am using it for the first time today. So far I have a lot of energy and no heartburn. I will be dieting and lightly exercising too. Every January through May I lose approximately 45 pounds and every June through December I gain back fifty. I hope to keep it off for good this time after I lose it. It's true that everything affects different people in different ways. But to the two people who claim they had blackouts and woke up in places with no idea how they got there: Are you kidding? Were you drunk also at the time? That doesn't just happen. Side effects I can buy into such as heartburn, heart palapitations even. But blackouts? Come on. The Brooklyn bridge is already sold but I think the Golden Gate might still be available. (Ha, Ha) Stop trying to scare people. I think it is a good idea to start slow though until you do know how it will affect you. For instance, I only took one pill and that's all I will take for a least a month. Then if I build a tolerance to it I'll go to two a day maybe. Loretta, once again, I am inspired by your success. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Hi, I have been sick so I haven't been on the computer. Nothing to do with akavar. This pill is wonderful. I have highblood pressure and cholesterol among other problems. Now that I am feeling some shat better I will start taking akavar again in themorning. I stopped because of being so sick I have had the flu and every other thing I could catch. I will keep everyone posted. Good luck.

HINTS for the pill to fully work. #1. Do not nibble right before taking your meal. #2. Do not start your meal before the full 15 minutes have passes. #3. Do not postpone the urge to go to the restroom.

I've just started the diet but think I have a helpful hint for those who incur jitteriness. This is probably common sense but I've figured out that if I take the pill and just sit around I get the jitters really bad but if I get up and do something it displaces the extra energy and I don't notice it as bad. I know they say in the ad that you don't have to exercise but you need to do something. This might be a good time to paint the house or start your spring cleaning a bit early. Let me tell you, since I've started taking Akavar I've got the cleanest hardwood floors in my neighborhood! I have a new house so I've nothing to remodel or paint, but I sure have energy now to clean everything within an inch of its life!!
