Akavar

Rob

35lbs overweight- I suffer terribly from IBS, akavar for some reason totally releived these symptoms. I'm also a terrible overeater, and this has given me great confidence, I eat 1500 cal's a day, ride my bike for 4miles/15min a day. Never hungry, not looking for snacks. Kinda been awake late though. Not weighing myself but the clothes feel better already. Its working for me. But were all different right?

I only take 1 pill a day due to I get nervous with to mush caffine. I seem to look like I am lose`n weight. I actuall eat a LOT and I am never full(GOD HONEST TRUTH) but with this pill I actually feel full so far. I love to eat now but since I have been taking the pill I feel full. I have been eating out every day-->tried to only eat subs which get me full now. I also take it on a empty stomach and I feel ok. No side affects really that I notice. I do walk on my walker 20 min a day. Try to walk more but I got a 1yr old. I will write back to give info.... I havent got on a scale yet but I will today and give results tmrw. well I think the pill is excellent. It seems to be great. I just dont think u can eat all you want and lose weight but damn how much could one person eat. I also only drink water and diet drinks anyways so that is a plus for looseing weight.

Started taking Akavar on the 27 of Jan.2008, by Feb.11 2008, I could fit into jeans one size smaller. i don't know what is working but i noticed that I do eat less, which is probably why I am losing weight but when I do eat I do eat what I want, I don't feel bloated all the time after I eat like I used to. After I noticed the smaller jeans I have began to change my eating habits so maybe thats anothee reason I am losing weight,mainly because I don't want to be back into the larger jeans.

Starting tomorrow ? 2/11/08. Need to lose about 20 pounds to be content and 30 to get back to 134 lbs. like I did 20 years ago. I'm hoping this works in time for summer. I'm 43, 5'6" tall and have only really put the last 20 lbs. on in the past 5 years. My husband could never take this since he has high blood pressure and gets heart palpations even from coffee. He doesn't need it anyway. If I get a little extra energy then that would just be a plus since since turning 40 it seems like my energy levels have plummeted. I will check back in next Sunday evening with an update. I hope I'm not disappointed, especially after reading some of the "bad" reviews. I don't have any really bad habits except for snacking in the evenings about 2 hours after dinner. I'm thinking this and eating the same portions as my husband is what has finally caught up with me. I've typically had a pretty good metabolism up until now and just about any diet has been effective, but now my system just seems to have come to a standstill. I have an older sister who experienced the same thing at forty and gained a lot more weight than me. I intend to nip this in the bud now and will advise her also if this goes well. Ta, Ta for now.

It's day three (3) on Akavar. So far I've noticed a slight buzz of energy along with dizziness. Couldn't sleep last night because I took it a couple hours before bed. My hunger has gone down alot - this morning my stomache was growling, but I didn't feel really hungry (but I ate a bagel to shut it up). I'm not sure it's the miracle pill everyone wants. The safest and most incredible way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise. Doing it that way not only makes you lose fat, it gives you natural energy without a bad buzz, it makes you stronger, it helps not only your body look good but it helps your brain and heart, and not to mention the strength you'll recieve emotionally by getting there the road less taken. Everyone is out for the quick fix, the pills and surgery. Think I'm a hypocrit for saying so when I'm taking a diet pill? I'm testing them for the affects for logging purposes. The scary thing I've noticed so far with all pills is that in order for it stay this way, you have to never come off it - like a crutch for life. People think "Yay, I've lost the weight, goodbye pill." and they gain it back. That's because they never truly learned what a healthy life style is. It isn't hard to live healthy - why be so lazy to being concious of what you eat and do everyday that can make a world of difference, when it's YOUR life? Even greater, if you're a parent, when it's your CHILD(REN)'s life? Life's happiness never came in a bottle, in a pill. What were ever the bad side affects to a healthy life style? Nothing, ever.

2/10/08 Just started to take capsules 3-days ago and feeling great! I also have been diagnosed with reflux disease and had to try something. I have cut out fatty foods and more protein, plenty of water because of a burning sensation in the stomach. I know that I have lost about 4-5 pounds but will visit the doctor and report back. I just had a colonscopy and sick of pill doctor bills -- simply need to lose weight. You have to help yourself (exercise and watch what you eat) and the pills will assist you. My goal is to lose 40 lbs in 3 months.

I started using Akavar yesterda.02/10/08. At first i took 2 pills at lunch. then i felt very energized. but after all that sometime in the middle of the day. i started to feel a little dizzy and weird. and night time wasnt any better. could hardly sleep. but i am cutting it down to just one pill before meals. I desperatly need to lose weight. i am 21 yrs old and weigh 198pds after having my daughter almost 3 yrs ago. of course i weighed less after i gave birth. i was around 178 last year in the summer but gained more. so i am giving this a try. i will post in again in a week.

Hi All! The main reason I wanted to post is for you ppl who are complaining about "gaining weight" while you take this pill and WORKOUT. You need to keep in mind that MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT!!! So if you are gaining muscle mass then yes you may look like you are gaining weight but you are not gaining FAT! So before you say that it does not work you need to have your body mass index done by a Dr. I also suggest that you have your BMI done before you start this so that you can see the difference I just started AKAVAR 20/50 today. I have tried just about everything to lose weight all my life. The first thing that I found out once I took this pill is that it does make me feel very full, I only take 1 pill 15-20 mins b4 I eat. I am drinking more water and watching what I eat; I will post more after I finish the bottle.

Hi Loretta, congratulations on your weight loss! I was given a bottle of Avakar as a gift, but haven't used it yet since I have high blood pressure and acid reflux disease. I want to get doctor approval first. But anyway, can you please tell me if you've had any side effects from taking this product and how many pills are you taking each day? I weigh 300 lbs and hoping to try the product soon. Thank You!

I've taken various diet pills for several years, and have just started using akavar a week ago. So far, it's been excellent for controlling appetite, but I haven't lost weight(note: I'm not eating Whatever I want, but the same amount as when I started taking it). My main concern with this--My heart feels like crap. I get flutters All the time. After seeing these reviews with not much of any other information about it to be found, I'm now done using it.

Michelle, my email is [email protected] We can talk any time. It's nice to know that there is someone else trying to lose about the same. I am down to 311. I can't wait to get out of the 300's. Hopefully soon.

Hi, I started akavar today and it has given me energy. I am not one to lie about supplements because I have been very disappointed in the past. I knowyou can not eat what you want be it is suppressing my apetite. I will post next week to tell my progress.

I think its hilarious that 1/2 the people on here can't even spell, and duh, it has caffeine in it! Would you drink 2 cups of coffee before bed and then complain that you couldn't sleep?!

I took my first pill yesterday evening about 5 pm and now it's 3 am and I still can't sleep, anyone else like this?

Michelle

Loretta, please email me, I just started taking Akavar and have about the same amount of weight to lose as you and I would like if we could keep in touch to compare results, and to just talk about how it's going. Please email me at [email protected] Thank you.

Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know, my week is up and I weighed in at 312.6 this morning. I started out at 321. I officially lost 9 pounds in 1 week. I am so amazed with this product. I can't wait to see how I do this week. I can't wait till I step on the scales and see that 299 under the 300 pound mark. I will update later.
