The Truth About Raspberry Ketones

Recently, lots of you have been asking me about raspberry ketones and their ability to miraculously shrink fat. After all, it’s been getting a flurry of media attention. The dietary supplement is being touted as a number one fat loss miracle, but is that really true? Are raspberry ketones the newest weapon in the arsenal against excess fat? Can you really simply buy fat burning in a bottle?

What Is Raspberry Ketone?

Raspberry ketone is the compound that gives red raspberries their delicious smell. Scientists are also able to produce the raspberry ketone compound in a laboratory. The amount of raspberry ketones in supplements is significantly higher than eating raspberries by themselves.

How Raspberry Ketone Manufacturers Claim it Helps Weight Loss

raspberry_ketone_side_effectsAccording to manufacturers’ claims, raspberry ketones regulate the hormone adiponectin, which tends to be present at lower levels in people with obesity than those without it. Some studies show that increasing adiponectin levels may help treat insulin issues such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome by increasing insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance is a key factor in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Raspberry ketones may also regulate norepinephrine, which can cause a slight rise in body temperature.

Nothing New about Raspberry Ketones

Raspberry ketone supplements have been around for years. In fact, they’ve been marketed internationally since the 1960s. Instead, it’s all the hype that’s new as manufacturers attempt to cash in on people’s willingness to try anything to lose weight.

Raspberry Ketone Studies

The claims about raspberry ketones seem to arise from two small-scale rodent studies. In the first study, researchers demonstrated the substance’s effectiveness in suppressing fat accumulation in male mice. In a second, which was conducted on a small sampling of mice, raspberry ketone appeared to prevent fat accumulation in mice fed a high fat diet. Thus far, no human studies exist showing the effectiveness of raspberry ketones for fat loss in humans, although anecdotal evidence seems to suggest it may be helpful in some cases.

How Do Rodent Studies Translate to Humans?

According to Johns Hopkins Medical, mouse and human genomes are about 85 percent the same, which is why mice are so often used as an initial base for studying human biology, genetics, and disease. This means that some findings in rodents will be consistent with findings in humans while others won’t. Ultimately, the best determination of how successful a supplement will be in humans can only come from carefully controlled, peer-reviewed, scientific human studies. Raspberry ketones have yet to meet this standard. The rodent studies are not backed up by solid human studies, nor has this unregulated substance been studied in humans to determine contraindications and potential side effects.

What about Anecdotal Evidence?

do raspberry ketones workWhile scientific studies are objective, anecdotal reports cannot be considered objective evidence because they are based on subjective human reporting. Such evidence can be affected by hype, expectations, and confirmation bias, rendering it not necessarily valid. Anecdotal evidence may be an excellent basis for forming a testable hypothesis, but only controlled scientific human study can determine a true correlation between raspberry ketones and weight loss.

No positive correlation can be established between raspberry ketones and human weight loss at this time.

Other Claims

In the wake of raspberry ketones’ recent media success, some manufacturers are adding other claims to their product, as well. One that I have seen quite a lot is that the raspberry ketones are anti-aging. While it is true they contain antioxidants that fight free radical damage, it’s a big stretch to call them an anti-aging miracle. If you want to fight aging, eat a superior plant based diet with natural antioxidants, and that doesn’t leave a lot of clogging waste in your body. Don’t just try to buy it solely with a pill.

Little Control

The FDA rates raspberry ketones as GRAS (generally recognized as safe); however, the agency has not tested nor does it support any of the weight loss claims made about raspberry ketone. Many manufacturers also include other ingredients in their supplements, such as norepinephrine (which can raise blood pressure), hoodia, capsaicin, caffeine, and other possible thermogenic (fat burning) ingredients. These ingredients may have a host of negative, and possibly dangerous, side effects.

Raspberry Keytone Side Effects

raspberry ketone side effectsNot included in the hype are the potential dangers of raspberry ketones. Because they regulate the body’s release of norepinephrine, it causes a spike in body temperature that may also lead to a temporary metabolic increase. Unfortunately, along with raising body temperature, norepinephrine can also raise blood pressure and heart rate. People with diabetes, heart conditions, high blood pressure, COPD, and asthma should all avoid raspberry ketones, which may aggravate the above conditions.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line on most miracle products touted for weight loss — including raspberry ketones — is that they are gimmicks. I don’t like gimmicks. While so many people would rather buy a supplement rather than change what they eat, there is no “miracle pill” for weight loss, and spending your money on such is, at best, a waste of money. At worst, these pills can have side effects and unregulated ingredients that can harm your health.

The best way to lose weight, keep it off, and be healthy is to eat a diet of whole, natural foods in moderation and get regular exercise. You don’t need to join an expensive gym – you can take a brisk 30 minute walk five days per week or develop a home yoga practice.

While rodent research may appear promising on raspberry ketones, it is far from conclusive. No human studies exist that can back up these claims. Don’t waste your money on a gimmick without proven effectiveness verified by large-scale controlled scientific human studies.

Beyond Weight Loss

raspberry ketone reviewsWhile I understand the desire to lose weight, there is no miracle product that is going to make that happen for you. Losing weight should be part of an overall program for better, more vibrant health. Even if a miracle product could actually help you melt away pounds effortlessly, if you continue to eat processed foods, sugar, and chemicals, then you will see very little improvement in your health. The 30 Day Roadmap to Healthy Weight Loss provides a program that focuses on your good health, with weight control and increased beauty as the inevitable result. Eating whole natural foods and living a healthy lifestyle is the best way to improve how you look and feel.

    I do not think Rapberry keytones is a healthy way to weight loss? Would that interfere with insulin?Also a rise in body temperarure is associated with thyroid menopause and mosltly DEADLY of all production of too many hormones which is headed for the terrible HOT FLUSHES during menopause. LOTS OF CONTRAVERSARY to say the least..

    Great piece! I totally agree with your conclusions. Hormonal imbalance in any direction, whether the hormones are considered “good” or “bad”, can wreak havoc and prevent natural homeostasis. Using supplements to artificially raise the levels of metabolic compounds may temporarily get results but, if the root cause of your suppressed hormone production isn’t addressed, the body is going to eventually over-compensate in some other way to counteract those gains! Sorry! The best path to balanced hormones (and ideal weight) is cleansing, nutrition, grounding, exercise, and emotional health!

    It’s interesting to see you disagree with Dr Oz, who’s show you’ve appeared on several times, and im sure he’s someone you admire. I say this only because it’s refreshing to see someone not just blindly follow a mentor, tv star, etc. It IS confusing though, as Dr Oz is, most times, spot on. Im a nurse and don’t ever buy into all the hype, etc regarding most “diets” and the latest weight loss craze, so now with your article and the episode I saw of his regarding ketones, I have things to ponder!!!

He needs to realize that he became his own enemy. I wnt him to teach people that there is no magic pill, and stop selling some gimmicks. He is so hollywood these days. So disappointing!

    Hey Kimberly,

    I am a big time fan of yours and wanted to hear your thoughts on green coffee extract. I just watched Dr. Oz last night and he seemed to promote green coffee extract as a new “miracle pill” for all body types. In addition, Starbucks is promoting their new Refreshers that are made with green coffee extract. Do you view this as just another fad, or do you believe this is a great supplement to include in your diet, in addition to a raw vegan lifestyle?

    Forward looking,

    Kimmy

    Hi Kimberly –

    Speaking of raspberries, I need some help!! I was absolutely blown away by your book and have followed your health and eating advice carefully for almost 1 year. I felt better in some ways, but despite my best efforts, I still felt terribly gassy and bloated and even constipated. I now am discovering that I have a fructose malabsorption issue. Apples, Pears, Avocados, Beets, etc etc – many of the things I love are what have been causing me such agony. I really would love to continue to stick with your plan as closely as I can. Any chance you could address the fructose malabsorption issue in a future blog?? I’ve had to go back to eating some animal products to get my digestive system healthy…..I’m so conflicted but must admit that I actually do finally feel better. Still, I haven’t eaten any fruit in a week and only certain veggies. It’s so tough.

    Thanks for your help!

    Love your book and I have been very successful in loosing weight and feeling much healthier. I also appreciate all the information on the website and check it regularly.
    One comment I would like to make is that all the images of women that are used look to be young and a very particular body type and anglo. Would love to see images of women used of different ages, body shapes and ethnicity to really reinforce that women are beautiful at any age, from any background and with different body shapes.

I have been through that before and won’t ever do it again if there is any such attachment to it. Also, I do have depression and anxiety and had read don’t take it if you have these as it makes you shaky and brings the symptoms on. I really realized how herbal treatments can affect one. No thank you. I will exercise and change diet.

    Thank you for this highly insightful response to the media hype on Raspberry Ketones. I’m not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination; however, I’ve been seeing that weight loss, maximum natural beauty and all-around well being is done by increasing our plants and veggies in a minimally processed form in our diets, cutting back on processed foods and foodstuffs, and creating a lifestyle routine that we can maintain forever.

    My mother has type 2 diabetes, and she was very interested in learning more about raspberry ketones for weight loss and health. She also has PCOS, which, to be honest, I also have…and many doctors tell us it’s nearly impossible to lose weight with this condition.

    I have The Beauty Detox and I have been reading it. It is a great read and I love this site.

Try Lisa Lynn’s accelerator product with raspberry ketones! Awesome. Dr. Oz has m y complete respect and if it is on his show..it works…so do the green coffee bean extract pills I have been taking! The weight is melting off!

I was also using the Raspberry Ketones because I had heard Dr. Oz said they would melt the fat. I gained ten pounds!!!! How the heck did that happen? I was doing everything right because I wanted to look good and I gained weight!! I am so angry!!!! I stopped the ketones because that was the only new thing I added to my lifestyle.

        My brother-in-law just took off 15 pounds in about 3 months–and he swears it had a lot to do with RK–along with skipping the french fries. He doesn’t really exercise and wasn’t someone I would have considered overweight in the first place. While there is no doubt–that eating right and regular exercise is the key to losing weight and overall good health–I decided to buy a bottle from Walgreens–and have been taking them for the last couple of weeks. I watch what I eat and exercise 3 to 4 times a week and I have noticed a tightening of my belly and thighs with this product–and I think it is related to RK. I will keep taking them for the next couple of months and get back with you on the results. So far, I am happy with it.

        Very true–but I do think we all tend to accumulate Cortisol levels in our blood stream which induces the craving for more carbs that usually end up around the belly and other areas of the body that store fat. While certainly eating healthy and consistent regular exercise helps–there has to be a way to put a dent into the cortisol level of the bloodstream. I have noticed over the last two weeks with RK that I don’t have the cravings that I had before. I can work out hard–can come home and not feel like I have to empty the refrigerator.

        Here is a good article about Cortisol levels in women:

        A study has revealed that women are more prone to stress related eating habits and end up gaining more weight. Another study has showed that high body mass index was found in adults who eat more in response to stress. Additionally stress eaters are found to consume alcohol more often, which ultimately affects your health.

        The reason behind this health affecting issue related to stress is the result of a stress related hormone called Cortisol. When one is in stress, the high amount of Cortisol is released in the blood stream. Receptors for Cortisol are located in your abdomen, which ultimately triggers fat storage, thereby increasing your body fat.

        Additionally, excess Cortisol may also affect the metabolism of your body and supports the weight gain process. Whatever may be the reason, the tendency to eat high fat food may cause a vicious cycle of poor food choices. Women, who eat more, have shown increased Cortisol activity and greater preference to sweets.

        As for now, we are certain about the connection of Cortisol with weight loss plans; there are many pills available in the market that can be taken to control the weight gain because of Cortisol. However, it is a fact that no pill can replace the healthy plans for your weight loss regime.

        Interestingly, as lack of emotional support is so directly associated with the tendency of stress-eating, it is important that you build your own network to suppress the stress. This could mean that you can join a support group or in person weight loss program. Furthermore, instead of looking for something to eat, the best solution is to indulge in other options like talking to your friends, walking or exercise. A burst of activity can help you overcome your appetite.

        There are various ways that can help you cope up with stress-eat disorders. Experts have assured us that regular exercise is the effective way to beat stress and therefore, help you sustain your weight loss regimes. It not only helps you regulate Cortisol levels, but also helps alleviate depression and achieve better sleep at night.

        Consider doing relaxation exercise that will lower your anxiety. Some of the common relaxation exercises are guided visualization, deep breathing and meditation. Try these and combine these with other activities like tai-chi or yoga.

        Get enough sleep; if you are not taking proper sleep, it will directly affect your weight loss efforts. Researchers have shown that there is a great connection between lack of sleep and increased weight.

        You can also maintain a dairy to mention your eating habits. In this, you can mention the intake of food and beverage intake along other notifications. This thing will help you think about eating habits.

    I just tried Rasberry Keytones for the 1st time two days ago. I have had 2 days of diarrhea, horriblegas and cramping. That’s it for me. I won’t be taking them again. Has anyone had this experience?

      I did take one before eating instead of during eating and had the same effect as you describe. However, taken with or just after eating, I do not have this problem. I made sure I purchased Ketones with no additives. This is not a miracle drug and I did not expect it to be one, but it has boosted my metabolism a little, I have gone from losing a pound a month to a pound a week..

      Hey Nancy…
      I was taking this product called weight off/Rig, which is a combination of Raspberry Keytones, African MAango and Green Coffee bean extract, and had the same problem. I wasnt sure which one of them was making my tummy upset, I assumed it might’ve been the green coffee bean, cos Coffee does that to me sometimes.. But I called in the company that makes em (Biogetica), and talked to one of their doctors. They said that it was fairly common, and does cause diarrhea because of the metabolic boost in some people, and they reccommended I take the keytones in the kit with LHD Pro diuretic, that keeps your stomach balanced and also keeps you from retaining water… So I ordered the Kit, and have been taking the pills for about two weeks now, and my stomach feels fine. I hav’nt weighed myself as often, but I think the combination, which is all natural, has definitely improved my work out, in terms of being more energetic and alert while I’m in the gym and I definitely feel a lot more fit!!

      Hope it helps.. 🙂
      Wendy.

    I’m almost to my goal weight, not through any crazy diet, but through sustanable lifestyle changes. I’m trying raspberry ketones just out of curousity to see if it helps speed of the last few lbs. I think they are fairly safe if you are not on antidepressants or anxiety meds, so worth trying. Following a lifestyle of healthy mindful eating and regular exercise is really the key to successful weight-loss. Anything else is just a bandaid.

      They will charge you every month that too 79.95 pounds even though u want to cancel i can’t for the first time.They will say it’s free trial but not actually……check terms&condition at the end of their site.

    I have taken green coffee bean extract with raspberry ketons for a week, it had no effect on my appetite or weight loss. The side effects though I have been experiencing are constipation, anxiety and nervousness. This was my first time ever I used any supplement for weight loss. It did not work for me and I feel I am jeopardizing my health. I will take the product back and will never try again anything other than clean eating and regular exercise. DONE!

    I have been taking Bio Nutrition Raspberry Ketones since Christmas Day, so almost 2 weeks now and I have noticed a change in my appetite. Only slightly though. I seem to get full faster and don’t get cravings like I used to. Also, I have noticed that my belly area is a bit smaller! (my belly is my problem area). I have felt a little gassy lately but, being a woman, that happens every month! I have NOT started any diet much differently than my diet before taking the ketones. I still eat what I used to before (healthy for the most part- some junk food here and there), just less. I’m looking forward to the next few weeks of taking them, as only 2 weeks have gone by so far.

BTW I started taking both RK and green coffee xtract for a month – no results – but when I changed my diet and started exercising did I start to lose weight. Hmmmm… pattern??? Regardless, even if it’s just a placebo (like how I think airborn is the miracle cold killer) I’ll still take them becaise I “feel” like their helping. Best of luck to everyone on their weight loss endever!

    I have been taking Raspberry Ketone for a week now. I have had NO diarrhea or nervousness, etc. I take it 3 times a day. Brfst, lunch and dinner time WITH food please. I try to not eat fattening things and drink alot of water. I think it is a great starter in helping lose weight. I have lost 4 lbs. in 6 days. …I also made sure I bought a good product. Mine bottle has 125mg. of raspberry ketone. I also found that I feel more energetic and do not tire as easily. I heard that it boost the metabolism and it seems to be working thus for for me. Buy from a reputable brand. I will be adding exercising to my regime which will help boost the raspberry ketone. By combining alittle exercising and eating right with the ketone will aid it is ability to work faster or just work for you. It seems to be working thus far for me. Remember, make sure you get an authenitic brand …mine cost $35 to $40 a bottle.

      So, you’ve been taking this “miracle pill”, but also eating better and doing exercise, and you’ve lost weight? Wow, amazing. Nothing to do with the eating well and doing more exercise then. Take the pill, on the normal diet you were on, with the same amount of exercise, and tell us if you lose weight! There is NO SUCH THING as a miracle cure (unless you pay loads of money to remove the fat with cosmetic surgery, and then put it all back on again because you have not learnt from past mistakes) It’s a simple equation of you burn more than you put in, you will lose weight. Put it more than you burn, you put it on. Eat healthier, do exercise and GIVE IT A CHANCE (2 weeks won’t do it people!) and you will lose weight. Keep waiting for the next miracle cure, and you’ll die early.

        totally agree. Train hard, eat well. I was thinking about taking these pills. But when I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I lost 10kg in 4 weeks! With in the run up to this, I spent 1 week eating healthy to get use to it, then the following 4 weeks of eating well and training hard made the transition easier!
        Dont hide behind your couch and moan about being overweight. Get up, get out, join a Gym or Dojo where there are other people you can mix with and train hard! If you have a busy life, or work loads, make time! I have a 40hr week at work, 2 dogs, a demanding wife and child. Yet still manage to hit up 1hr 30 of intensive training 5 days a week!

    I bought the Raspb. ketones pills that Dr Oz is pushing. Raspberry ketone fresh brand. Lady on phone promised that each pill had 1200 mg of actual raspberry ketone extracted from raspberries but bottle indicates no such thing. It states 1200 mg of a “proprietary formula” of several ingredients with no mention of how much is actually ketones and no mention of it being extracted from actual raspberries. After reading the truth on internet you need to understand that their terms and conditions give them all sorts of excuses to deny your request for a refund such as” providing different dates and timeframes, one sentences says “30 days from ship date”, another states 30 days of or from authorization and elsewhere I read “within 14 days of receiving”. If it says “within 30 days of ship date, that would be legit, but to say “30 days from ship date” would mean a day before or after is too early or too late. And you can’t claim refund without first calling for an authorization code. If that is not enough to convince you to put a stop payment on your credit card payment, they also added term that says they are not responsible for typos and that they can change the terms and condition at any time without notice and you have to live with whatever terms they state they changed them to such as “no refunds”. They also reserve right to turn down your refund request if they decide it is not in good faith. Legally they created all sorts of loop hole & BS excuses to not pay you back for those that paid for more than a month worth. I will call for auth. code and, whether they give me one or not, I will immediately call before paying my credit card bill to dispute the charge on the grounds that the lady that taped the phone call lied to me about the 1200 mg of actual ketones in each pill or dose even after talking to her “manager” . Will also mention the false claims and the scam regarding 7 to 8 pounds typically per week without changing your routine as they told me on phone. BUYER BEWARE. CAN’T BELIEVE A COLLEGE GRAD LIKE ME FELL FOR IT. ALSO, IF YOU GOT 1 BOTTLE THEN YOU CAN RETURN THE EMPTY BOTTLE BEFORE CARD CHARGED BUT IF YOU GOT 3 BOTTLES AT BIG DISCOUNT LIKE ME THEN YOU HAVE TO SHIP BACK THE 2 UNOPENED BOTTLES AND THE ONE EMPTY OR PART EMPTY BOTTLE TO GET YOUR FULL REFUND. WILL BE SHOCKED IF I ACTUALLY LOSE MORE THAN MY TYPICAL 2.5 TO 3 POUNDS A WEEK WHILE STARTING ANOTHER ROUND OF P90X WORKOUTS THIS PAST WEEKEND.

    hi

    I have been taking these pills (raspberry and green tea tablets) for a week and a half.
    I feel as if they at first where working,didnt notice my appetite decreasing but felt thinner but that probably a placebo effect as when i weighed myself i actually had put on weight half a stone maybe more.
    This is concerning as how could it be with me eating the same amount and exercising regularly as i do.
    I found i was bloated and not able to go to the toilet for upto a few days at a time and surely if this to get rid of fat in the food i was eating it surely would be almost more of an laxative.
    I would continue to take this but i am scarred i will end up putting on more weight which is not the deisred effect.

    stick to normal green tea which i find helps and you dont feel terribly bloated.

    did anybody suffer with this too?

    Gimmick and hype?? I COMPLETELY DISAGREE. I am 5’2″ and have been fighting the fat creep since 16 or so! Always have had to seriously watch every single thing I’d eat or else live on salads sans dressings, and th older I’d get the more cardio I’d HAVE to do just to prevent gain–I’m 47 now… I got some and began taking them really expecting absolutely nothing.. My weight had creeped from my trim 109-110 to 118, and for me that was enough so none of my good clothes fit! I was so irritated all the time and worried how much more would creep on…I have mostly stayed off sweets, starches for years– little fat except nuts, which I love. Well I negan taking 500mg 3 x daily, and I make sure I make myself slow down and sleep 8-9 hrs a night… Also at this time I was really not getting cardio at all except occasional 2-4mi walk if the temp was over 60 (I have Raynauds and shun cooler temps out…. And mind you all, when I started I was eating pretty modestly….oatmeal for breakfast w pb /stevia was about the starchiest thing I’d have all day…. And lbs began dropping off WAY faster than I think I’ve ever seen them come off my short frame, even when I was 20 yrs younger… Sometimes during the holidays I’d have a little potatoes w a meal or I even had more than one pc of pie during Christmas and thought the scale would scold me badly for that, but very surprisingly it did not…at most maybe it slowed down my loss a LITTLE…. Right now believe it or not, I’m 10-12 lb less than where I was trying to get and not on purpose, really… I am working t slowly adding in more REGULAR (not processed tho) foods so I do NOT lose anymore! I’ll continue the ketones BC I feel they are CORRECTING my metab rate, which has been screwy for so many yrs! I am adding in food (still not starch tho except sometimes sprouted wheat bread/rolls I sprout/make myself).. But I am not eating just salads all the time! Sometimes nothing else hits the spot like a good big salad, but other times I’m working to eat 2 good meals, because the ketones have, I SWEAR, done e following 3 key things for me:

    1) eliminate my appetite (seriously)
    2) ELIMINATE THOUGHTS/CRAVINGS/DAYDREAMS of fattening and sugary ANYTHING–HUGE!
    3)raise my metAb rate so I’m burning all I eat and substantially more, by the rate I’ve seen it come off me-2lb a week, for me, was previously unheard of over the last 20yrs,and that’s including w heavy cardio 6/wk.

    I do drink lots of cold water- beginning at 5;30 am before breakfast, usually 2 tall tumblers full numerous x a day. I make pitchers of green tea and probably go thru 1.5 pitchers of that thru the day as well. I eliminated soda (one long time vice-diet soda) due to salt Nd swelling for me. I am DONE w soda AND w sugar free gum (which had been another crutch). But I find that I have tons more time to get things done around here (big family, plus homeschool!) due to great energy levels, alertness, ability to concentrate, and zero thoughts about FOOD! I don’t know what it is, but it’s like I think like my skinny roommate used to in college.. She was really thin but ate normally.. Never finished anything she wasn’t hungry for, even a dingdong. I used to think, ‘why doesn’t she eat it? It tastes good!’ But only NOW doi really understand, because I have no desire to even taste a cookie ( and cookies were always my worst downfall plus I constantly bake for my many kids)… It’s not thati’m ‘resisting them well’, but that I’m not even interested…so it’s not just blocking my appetite, but making me view food totally differently, too. I was 97 this morning! I set a plan to eat especially more today to keep from dropping more (like I said, I’m very small boned but would rather hang at 107 than 97!!) and hopefully bring it up more, but honestly I do not feel like I want another bite of anything today!

    It ain’t a gimmick. I got mine (no other active ingredients in them) via Amazon w Prime shipping. I have had ZERO negative effects whatsoever, but recall I drink plenty water, green tea, eat out very infrequently (!!) and mostly select whole food type stuff I prepare myself, or any baked stuff I ever eat is made by me also..no crap ingredients, no soda, no gum.. I take vitamins too:
    One a day
    3 mag/cal/zinc
    50000mg d3
    Borage oil
    Daily,and the only oils I use here are EVOO, organic coconut oil, reall butter!

    I get tired of reading people saying, ” it doesn’t work!’ If it doesn’t work it’s the fault of Americans addicted to eating NON-FOODS, preservatives, energy bars (honestly–that is not what your body wants—it is candy)… I use only stevia- NO SUGAR ALCOHOLS… What am I missing…. ? I had to buy all new jeans from my smallest, ones, which were pretty damn small already. I FEEL ENERGETIC AND GREAT.. Checkup is good– bp, hr, blood numbers… I am super active in my housework, errands, occasional a little fast walking jogging on treadmill, and I’ve only. Recently vowed to stick more in so I keep my muscle tone.. Also I use arm weights.

    Good luck!

      This long of a email….sounds like someone who works for Raspberry Ketone companys wrote this!

      Plus I’ve been on green coffee bean extract PURE…pills…..Which DOES actually work!

      The ketones I ordered too…as advice of Dr Oz……no change in weight in 30 days! When I started the green coffee bean pills after, I did get energy to finally go excercise and got full quicker. I lost 4 pounds in a month. I have not changed my food….just excercise 2-3 times a week…30 mins.

      I would like to add…

      Fats from nuts, and EVOO and avocados… these are all good fats that your body can use. It’s not the same as steak fat or trans fat or the fats that are in candies and junk food. You body can actually use these nuts and oils and fruit/veggie fats. They are good for your brain and heart. Learn abot nutrition. In addition to the nuts containing good fats, they are also high in proteins which are a good source of energy and help you stay “full” longer.

      The biggest problem with why people are FAT is due to nutrient imbalance… too much of one, not enough of others… for instance, too many starches, not enough proteins and vegetable. Also you must think about alkalinity. Foods that help regulate your body’s pH will help reduce your fat storage. Stay away from sugar altogether or only have it in small doses. Don’t think that since you are drinking diet soda that you are doing yourself any favors… the body still activates insulin and you still get blood sugar spikes from artificial sweeteners.

      Learn about your food! did you know that ounce for ounce, white bread contains more sugar than jelly beans. and Most of your processed fruit juices are artificially flavored and packed full of sugar. Eat the fruit and drink more water. Drink water 30 minutes before and after a meal. Drinking before helps you eat less since you will be a little full from the water and drinking a glass 30 minutes after helps flush it all down to digest it quicker.

      Wow, you are doing great! I relate to what you said, but I don’ have 7 kids to help me keep in shape. I take two, 100mg of RK, with nothing added. Seems like many are caffeinated, hence the jitters, insomnia, etc..

      I have been taking RK for two months. It has curbed my appetite and like you, I’m rarely hungry, and view food differently. I eat to live, rather than the other way around! I have type 2 Diabetes. My A1C went down 2 points, and cholesterol and other numbers are normal, and I know it is from my weight loss from the RK. I have always been skeptical about this stuff, so no one is more surprised than I that has worked for me. Maybe it won’t for others, but so far, it has sure helped me! How are you doing now?

      Hello, I was taking Healthe trim, regular not Rk. I did get severe hot flashes and finally they stopped after 2 months, im still taking them with no hot flashes. It is a thermo booster so I guess that was a way of my body burning fat. I have lost weight but not sure how much as I have yet to get on a scale, but I can tell you I lost 2 pant sizes. The big key is drinking water, no soda, tea, coffee, can drink milk and juice with no artificial flavors.

        Avoiding wheat products has helped me tremendously. Lost 20 lbs in a month. Before I went on the no-wheat diet, I previously purchased Raspberry Ketone on-line from a company called ANR (Applied Nutritional Research, LLC). Their website is http://www.RazTone.com. Anybody else out there bought from this company, please let me know if it works or if this is fake. Thanks!

        Coffee is a diuretic, appetite suppressant, thermogenic booster. It’s not a bad thing for weight loss. Plus without milk/sugar/etc. it has no calories.

      That’s because RK is a thermogenic. Your body temp rising is what melts the fat without exercise. Combine that with exercise and you’ll be a fat fighting machine.

      Why is it people just jump and use things without first understanding how they work?

      The rise in body temp is NORMAL (it’s a good thing!).
      It’s just like with some other fat burners.
      The Raspberry Ketones are making your body raise it’s level of Thermogenesis (the production of heat).
      When one’s body temp. rises (even 1-2 deg) they BURN MORE CALORIES. Whether they’re active, sitting at their desk or even sleeping, The rise in heat is therefore assisting in the reduction of calories consumed for the day/night, or is even helping create a caloric deficit (therefore aiding to lose weight)!!!

      Why do people not do their own research on health/nutrition/etc. so they’re educated when it comes to diet, exercise and supplementing?

I have lost 7 pounds in a little over 2 weeks. I am thrilled with the results. No stomach problems, no side effects whatsoever. I eat healthy anyway and have changed nothing. It would seem they work for some and for others they do not… same as other pills/drugs etc. I used Champix to quit smoking and have been a non smoker for 4 years. Other people have tried Champix and could not stop smoking. I am just thankful I could and did. Ketones working for me… good luck everybody.

    When Dr OZ discussed raspberry keytones on the TV show I decided to give it a try. I work out 5 times a week and could not get rid of my gut. I was drinking beer and eating a higher fat diet. Once I nstarted taking the keytones 500mg x2 my cravings changed, part might have been physcological but I did not crave beer or fatty foods so I stopped them all together. I lost 15 lbs of fat, I weigh 200lbs and look good. I am 52 years old. My gut is gone and for the first time since I was a teenager I have definition in my abs. I will continue to eat better, work out and take 1 500mg capsule a day of PURE(not synthetic) Raspberry Keytones.

    Just wanted to say, with the help of ketones I lost 80lbs last year. But they don’t do it themselves, you have to watch what you eat and they just speed things along. I went from just shy of 300 lbs to a current weight of 215 or so.
    As you get smaller the weight loss slows ALOT. The more obese you are the better they work. Now I’m losing more like 5lbs a month vs upwards of 15 like when I started.
    So don’t expect any miracle, it does take work on your end. But if your willing to do it it’s well worth it.

    raspberry ketone powder that can be put into a capsule. This is prepared by a variety of methods from various intermediates. One of the ways this can be done is through a crossed aldol-catalytic hydrogenation, then goes through catalytic hydrogenation to produce raspberry ketone. This method produces a 99% yield. It is used extensively as vitamins, food additives, and the cosmetic industry for scent. In 1965, the Food and Drug Administration placed raspberry ketone on generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status.

    There exists no side effects as to the use of the Raspberry Ketone diet except for those individuals with side effects on the use of raspberries. This is mainly due to the fact that the chemical compounds found in Raspberry Ketones are natural compounds which are not associated with toxins or side effects in any particular way.

    I took them for about a month and really did not expect them to work. I have to admit, I did lose weight, although I did not attribute it to the Raspberry Ketones at the time, I realize now they must have helped because it stopped when I stopped taking them. You will probably sell more of your book with your negative review to people who have not tried them.

      So it seems to me that whether the pills are helping you out physiologically or simply giving you the mental motivation to make better decision regarding your health and food intake and exercise… then they work one way or another.

      It should be okay. not much interacts with Prozac (Fluoxetine), or other leading anti-depressants such as Cymbalta (Duloxetine) or Celexa (Citalopram). Obviously stop taking them if you think that your prescription drugs aren’t working as well as before, and mention that you’re taking RK to your doctor the next time you have a medicine review.

        You should not be posting about drug interactions. As a pharmacist, many things interact with antidepressants. Cymbalta and others could potentially increase norepinephrine which can also be increased by RK. Please be cautious in taking he combo.

    Hello everyone, I’ve read many of the comments I have also noticed that people who are giving negative responses to RK do not bother to mention the brand they are taking,why is that? If, it was SO bad why not inform everyone of the bad brand that you were taking? It is VERY important to buy a good quality brand, if you did your homework, you would know that it is very important to buy the best quality brand, as cheap brands have put in synthetic chemicals in them and could be the reason you’re having such bad results. I have been on RK now for a week and have only noticed positive effects, such as an increase in energy and after day 2 it was noticeable that it was suppressing my appetite, but all in a natural way. The increased energy was natural not like I’m on some sugar kick , the suppressing feeling the same way, I ate a rice Krispy treat took 3 bites and I was thinking I’m not really hungry why am I eating it,but I did eat it but did NOT feel that normal omg this taste SO good feeling, but instead… oh sheesh I Have to finish this up because I’m in Target and I paid 1.40 cents for it. The brand I brought was $63.00 by Certified Red raspberry. thus far I am glad I paid that higher amount and even if I don’t lose weight, if I continue to feel this energetic I’ll lose weight anyway, as I feel like doing more, I already worked out twice today and went out and about and played tug of war with my dog. Normally I wouldn’t have the energy to do that. I just wanted to give my input and no I do not work for the company and I am not affiliated with them in any way. I also am a Hashimoto’s /hypothyroid patient, so I would recommend this, just my opinion.

      I would like to add…

      Fats from nuts, and EVOO and avocados… these are all good fats that your body can use. It’s not the same as steak fat or trans fat or the fats that are in candies and junk food. You body can actually use these nuts and oils and fruit/veggie fats. They are good for your brain and heart. Learn abot nutrition. In addition to the nuts containing good fats, they are also high in proteins which are a good source of energy and help you stay “full” longer.

      The biggest problem with why people are FAT is due to nutrient imbalance… too much of one, not enough of others… for instance, too many starches, not enough proteins and vegetable. Also you must think about alkalinity. Foods that help regulate your body’s pH will help reduce your fat storage. Stay away from sugar altogether or only have it in small doses. Don’t think that since you are drinking diet soda that you are doing yourself any favors… the body still activates insulin and you still get blood sugar spikes from artificial sweeteners.

      Learn about your food! did you know that ounce for ounce, white bread contains more sugar than jelly beans. and Most of your processed fruit juices are artificially flavored and packed full of sugar. Eat the fruit and drink more water. Drink water 30 minutes before and after a meal. Drinking before helps you eat less since you will be a little full from the water and drinking a glass 30 minutes after helps flush it all down to digest it quicker.

    Here’s an update, if anyone is interested. I gave a glowing report about the product and company I brought my RK from. I still have my energy and I have lost about 3 pounds. BUT I cannot in good faith recommend this company any longer. I don’t trust this company or recommend them anymore, because I have found false advertisements on You tube. The person speaking is obviously working for that company, but says in the commercial/youtube she is not. They do Not have a telephone number to contact them if you want to cancel or ask a question, I wrote them an email concerning the false you tube advertising. I am still waiting for a response back. I will Not continue buying this product from them and have found a well known company that sells this and other products. I now wish I would have gone through them in the first place, I wasn’t thinking. They are ‘Life Extensions’. I’ve already put in an order with them. We all are living and learning. Keep up with the weight loss race!! I Will get to my goal 😉

    Folks, if you are going to post comments, please learn how to spell — particularly the names of your prescription medications. If you don’t have the intelligence to write a grammatically correct comment, perhaps you should seek professional help for your weight issues. Nothing irritates me more than reading comments from folks who cannot spell or write properly.

    They work for me! I’ve been taking raspberry ketones for over a week and am losing half a pound a day, so I have lost 5 pounds so far. I’m also doing Weight Watchers and going to the gym but before I took the pills I only lost half a pound a week due to my appetite. The pills really curb my appetite. So the trick is to take cues from my body and eat less than before since I feel less hungry. I bought my pills on Amazon and the brand is Genetica Labs. I take a 250 mg pill before breakfast and dinner.

      In the 3 days I’ve been taking RK, I’ve experienced more energy and appetite suppression. I’m 51, exercise moderately, and have a mostly healthy diet. Like many women my age, I’ve experienced a decreased metabolism. These pills are the extra edge I needed. For everyone inquiring about brand, GNC carries one by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that is 99% pure with the only additives being those necessary to create the capsules.

      You are probably losing weight because your body is naturally adjusting to your new dieting and workout regimes (which are great). The pills are just placebos, but if you think they are getting your to where you want to go, no harm. Just don’t think that they are responsible for any weight loss, but only money loss.

      i signed up for a free trial of vitaberry trim it said on its web site that it was a free months trial . After 2 weeks they took out 80 pounds for the free trial from my bank account. Had I returned the product within the 2 week period un-opened I would have qualified for my money back. How are you supposed to try a product to decide if it really lives up to its name as a weight loss product without trying it first, plus they did not say that other than shipment costs would be coming out of my account. I now have a long and lengthy period of ombudsman and complaints to my bank . which at the end of the day I may not get my money returned. I want to warn people to read the terms and conditions of these free trial offers or they too could pay out a lot of money which in my case did not work at all. At the end of the day I weigh exactly the same as I did when I tried this product

There are many reputable doctors warnings out there about raspberry ketones and their affects on heart rate.

    This signals the body to discharge no cost fatty acids into your bloodstream and you start off shedding excess weight.
    So instead of getting some soda or artificial juices after meals, rather consider
    a cup of green tea to accomplish the normal body weight you are after.
    Pick tea leaves that are small and loose to let out a fast-paced infusion.

    I think it is unfair to say something is a waste of money just because it doesn’t work for you. Almost every medication/supplement on the market works for some people and not others. The same thing goes for side effects. I started taking the green coffee bean supplements a few months ago and lost 7 pounds in two weeks. I stopped taking them and got off track, but decided to start again and this time added the Rasberry Ketones. They instantly suppressed my appetite to the point food doesn’t even taste good to me. I am not sure I would like this long term since I love and enjoy food. However, it’s okay in the short term to help me stay focused on the weight loss and getting back in the habit of eating healthier and excercising. I have had minor side effects, a bit gassy and mild headaches but it’s hard to say if they are definitely from the supplement or the change in diet as I am eating more fruit, nuts and less junk and sugar.

    And I am taking the Dynamic Nutrition brand.

    Most people want to know, “Does Fat Loss 4 Idiots really work?” To answer that, here are the results others have seen from using the program. After following the 11 day diet, the majority of people saw a wide range of results. Some lost little to no weight. Others lost around 5-10 pounds. However, once people started their 3 “cheat days”, they gained several pounds back, then lost the weight again during the next 11 day cycle. Based on this wide range of results, it’s really hard to say what you could expect from following the diet outlined in Fat Loss 4 Idiots

    Most capsules sold of this stuff do not contain enough to make a diff. Try taking 400mg’s throughout the day. (For me that’s only 2 caps as mine are 200mg’s each!)
    Aside from that I cannot comment on if the Ketones are helping me or not.
    I also supplement with many other things as I’ve gotten into bodybuilding.
    Also I’m on a Ketogenic diet with a caloric deficit so obviously I will lose weight.

    I stared taking Raspberry Ketones Max May 2nd and I’ve noticed a few side effects, mainly nausea and jitteriness. But that could be simply from all the caffeine it has. The bottle says there’s as much caffeine as three cups of coffee in the recommended dose of two capsules. And I don’t generally have that much caffeine on a daily basis. So that just might take some getting used to.. I have noticed a great decrease in my appetite though. Especially in cravings, which was a big issue for me lately. I saw some comments about how some people got the free trial, as did I, and were still charged after cancelling. I was told to call before the 16th to cancel to avoid being billed again. But I guess I’ll have to keep an eye out. I might order some more in the future, but I wanna finish the whole bottle to be sure before I order another one.

    Seems to be working all right for me so far. I hope everyone finds something that works for them if it’s not the raspberry ketones! Best of luck! 🙂

      I took raspberry ketone for 1 month last year and lost 12 pounds. I stand by it because while I was taking the capsules I did not change anything in my diet. I did not exercise more or eat healthier. Before I purchased them, I did my research and spent an hour at the store looking through all the different raspberry ketones they had. I believe that if you want good results you can not go with the cheap brand. It is best to look for something that contains natural raspberry ketone and no synthetics. Also make sure you are buying actual raspberry ketone instead of ground up raspberries or blends! I took 2 capsules a day at 500 mg and had no side effects. I do not recommend it if you are not willing to spend the extra money for the natural stuff, that is when it becomes “a waste of money”.

      Although I was very happy with it, I did not continue because I was at my ideal weight and saw no point in spending the money.

      Thanks for a very informative article. As a Nutritionist myself, I often get clients wanting a ‘quick fix’ when it comes to weight loss. I always explain that if they want to lose weight and MAINTAIN it, then their aim should be to lose weight gradually (ideally no more than 2.2 lbs a week), by adopting a healthy, balanced whole food diet – for life. Experience has taught me that dramatic weight loss (the kind promoted by these supplements) only leads to putting it all back on afterwards – and sometimes more, since losing weight too quickly puts your body in ‘starvation mode’ and encourages it to burn calories at a slower rate. There really IS no substitute for healthy eating!

    Weight loss products is just a waste of money! All you need is to have a healthy lifestyle, eat nutritious foods and exercise regularly. Most of the weight loss products have side effects such as palpitations, dry mouth, increase blood pressure, insomia etc but it varies to each person. Most people who take weight loss products will just regain weight some or all of the weight they lost when they stop using those products and they can be dependent to it that it become harmful to their body. Why not do it the natural way and putting some efforts on it and not just by depending on the weight loss products that companies sell. Companies benefits from “You”, those who are desperate to lose weight. They used words such as “You don’t need to diet nor do exercise to lose weight” or this product is “clinically proven or approved by FDA”. This are all advertising claims just to get the clients attention which I found it absurd. You should lose weight gradually and not rapidly for there are risks especially if the person got dependent on the drugs they’re taking.

    The rules are simple, if you want to lose weight have a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly. Our body requires a certain number of calories per day so try to maintain that level. You should consume less calories per day and burn more calories by doing exercise if you are really serious in your diet to lose weight. No need to waste money just put some effort on it and you will be grateful on your result plus you will save alot of money on it.

    I have spent the last 2 months on a changed diet. I do not eat potatoes, pasta, bread, drink beer or any other bloating products. I drink around 4 litres of water, with fresh lemon, limes, oranges and grapefuits squeezed into it, per day. I have lost 9kg (nearly 20pounds) so far, but it has slowed right down.
    I had previously (years ago and before a pregnancy) been on the elimination diet for allergies. I lost 15kg or 33lbs during the 6 week program. I kept it off for 3 years without having to try.
    I do not do FAD diets. I enjoy my food too much. I work in restaurants and walk to work, so have a fairly active day to day life.
    I decided to try raspberry ketones in conjunction with what I am currently doing to assist in futher weightloss. I am 40 in a couple of months and am overweight.
    If this works for me, I will be delighted. If it doesn’t, oh well, I gave it a go.
    One thing that a lot of people seem to forget is that each body reacts differently and what works for you and it’s efficiency may not be the same or even similar for others. And there is also a lot of people talking about heart rates etc, if it has caffeine or guarana in it, of course it will speed up your heart rate! If you drink 4 cups of coffee in a row, how do you feel???
    My product is Ketone Premium and I am taking it in conjunction with Cleanse Premium. Relatively low doses of the ketone compared to others who have commented, but I’m not looking for the “quick fix”, just a compliment to my already existing healthy eating and living habits.
    Good luck to those of you trying this, and bummer to those who feel it was a waste of money!

I just started but it has absolutely killed my appetite! My friend has been using it for a couple months now and has lost 24lbs! The product we’re using also comes with a free smart phone app that reminds you when to take it. It also suggests one small change to your lifestyle each week and will also reminds you throughout the day about those changes! It also has on online community and weekly calls with Kim Lyons (personal trainer on the the first few seasons of The Biggest Loser, The Dr. Phils Weight loss challenge, and guest advisor for Dr. Oz.).

      Hi Kim

      A well written article and I do appreciate that you have looked for scientific studies and tests and as you quite rightly say there is little on people other than their experiences.

      I also appreciate that you will quite rightly think I have a vested interest in being positive but I do think that to help people then balance is good in a situation like this with too little verified product data. We sell raspberry ketones as part of our product portfolio but I know of some ladies who have had really good results including my wife. Of course it is unsubstantiated but it is a valid opinion by them and perhaps has merit to sit alonside your valid opinion.

      At Protein Lifestyle we only sell 100% pure raspberry ketones with nothing added so maybe that has a bearing.

      If you mailed me your address then I would be happy to send you some and you could test it maybe, at least you could then advise on any side affects you experienced which again is valid. And then you could update your article.

      Anyway a great blog but remember there are also some really great minerals and vitamins that people can and do use just as a healthy supplement to life.

      I rarely write reviews, almost never unless I’m seriously ticked off. And I’m not sure my results are typical but this stuff is a modern marvel I began taking these on May 4, 2013 and completed the first bottle (two each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening usually with food) on June 19, 2013. I was down almost 500 pounds with no change in workout habits, although I generally exercise 2-4 times per year, and no change in diet. Again I’m not sure the results are typical but this is certainly worth a try

        Are you sure you lost 500 pounds? Must be in British pounds.

        This is obviously fake. No person could drop 500 pounds in a month, it would be difficult enough to do that in a year.

        On the topic of this article I ask you this: with so many pills and “new diets” that come out every year, what is the one basic thing that always works? Proper eating habits and daily exercise. If you want to see results and lost weight in a healthy and safe way, then change your lifestyle. It shouldn’t be a ‘diet’ that you go on and eventually “get off”, it should be the way you live.

        A great book I would recommend is “Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It” by Gary Taubes
        Read it and it will change everything that you think you know about nutrition and food.

    Scam! Scam! Scam! Read the news reports. They have been using fake endorsements from famous people to sell this product and if you sign up you can’t get out of the payment plan very easily. I am so glad I read the news reports because last night I almost signed up for my “free trial” at $14.95 then $84.95 each month after after that. Easier and cheaper to stop eating rubbish and start exercising!!

      Idk if this helps but I have been taking the green coffee bean extract by a company called pure health for 30 days 3x a day. I lost 6 pounds. This may be from the pills but I honestly do not know because I’ve lost 22 pounds altogether within 2 months but I have been eatting rite, drinking lots of water, and excersising 3 to 4x a week.I just purchase the raspberry ketones so idk if it will work but ill strt taking them together with the coffee bean extract and see what happens. I’m starting my second bottle 90count of gcbe tomorrow so I won’t start the gcbe/rb combo untill next month. The company I buy my supplements is called pure health 100.

    You people do realize that your metabolism is just like a muscle, you have to work it to make it stronger. The pill is supposed to help with the process, not do all of it. If you want results then you have to eat 5 times a day – smaller meals every 3 hours 6am to 6pm should work, drink plenty of water, EXERCISE properly, and get 7 or 8 hrs of sleep. I noticed the people who follow these and take the pill have the best results.

    After two days of taking these, I had stomach cramps like I’ve never had before and I’m normally pretty healthy! I’ve stopped taking these now and, after a couple of days, I’m fine again.

    I wouldn’t suggest that anyone takes these for weight loss – a healthy diet and exercise win out every time.

I feel awful:-( my heart rate is through the roof, I feel nauseous at times, I have lots of physical energy/nervous energy, but I can’t concentrate at all. I have lost some weight, but I have also started exercising/eating better recently. The side affects of feeling shaky and nauseous have actually increased my appetite.

    It’s amazing how many people put all their faith in Dr. Oz and his constant new supplements. If the good doctor says they work, then they must work. NOT SO~~~~~. I personally have tried several of his advertised products and so far, not one of them worked~~~ some time in the past he had 2 women on his show to prove the before and after taking a certain product for weight loss ( I believe it was 3 days)~~ well, anyone should know that the only reason those 2 women lost 1 or 2 pounds in 3 days is because they most likely didn’t eat for 3 days so that they would make DR. OZ look like a winner~~~~~ just gimmicks, that’s all.

    I tried the trial of the green coffee and colon cleanse without results and then ended up being billed for a month which I cancelled and never got my money back and on top of it kept receiving phone call from ” live body coach” and had them withdrawal money out of my account without authorization. I also tried the Mango without any success. So I’m very glad to have this information. I guess the old theory is that diet change and exercise are the best way to get what you want and there are no short cuts.

    Whenever an adult is being sexual with a child, it is abusive
    to the child. Antibiotics, for instance, do improve acne conditions, but they also interfere with the balance of healthy intestinal
    flora, making the problem cyclic. The ADD adult might have trouble with staying on task, staying organized and procrastinating, just as
    the Attention Deficit Disorder child does.

    I have been on raspberry keytones for almost a month now. I do not know if I have lost any weight as I am not weighing myself but I do feel my clothes getting loser. What I do notice is that taking the pill curbs my cravings. I have no sugar cravings (not an ounce) since I started on RK. I am choosing to eat more fruits and vegetables including only salads for lunch and I am NEVER hungry. I stopped taking the supplements for two days and my cravings came right back. So this has worked very well for me in terms of food choices and I honestly do not care if I lose weight or not. As long as I am making the right food choices when I am taking the supplement. So RK for me all the way. No cravings beats fast weight loss any day.

    Hey I think it has potential. First I tried a cheap version of the RK and I tried it for a full month- 1200mg a day. No results at all. Then I decided to buy the ‘real’ stuff. No gray pills, they’re white. They smell like raspberries (the other ones didn’t) and they leave a taste of raspberries when I take them. I’m taking 1000mg a day and started almost 2 weeks ago- the last 3 days I haven’t craved a sweet thing at all! I can’t believe it because normally I can’t survive without my sweets. I have hope because if something can control my raiding the fridge at night- it’s a miracle! lol
