If "the facts" were true my Doctor and Dietician would have prescribed them for my weight loss and the prescription would be a covered medication. Just like green coffee bean beans, HCG and all the other “miracle weight loss programs” and I could include a lot more, “they get rich” and we just keep sending them our hard earned money for instance gratification. If you read everything with then then you should know the average weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week; which is the same for a sensible diet based on the correct amount/types of food, drinking water and exercising. Even Atkins, which I lost 45 pounds in less than 90 days 13 years ago, could have permanently damaged my liver, lucky for me it didn’t. Now I am learning the correct sensible way to make wise choices to regain control of my weight and make it my new life style. Too each his/her own. - 4/28/2013   8:57:08 PM

Yes, I am trying them now for a month to see if it helps with flattening my belly fat. - 4/24/2013   12:50:02 PM

Ha ha! I just read your article over at HuffPo and I loved the sentence, "Now, if you are a rat, there are two studies of interest." Thanks for the smile. - 4/24/2013   11:16:18 AM

I have tried them in the past they are a total gimic! - 4/22/2013   6:48:15 PM

I do like organic raspberries... - 4/21/2013   2:36:56 AM

The only ketones I know about are the ones that happen when a diabetic's blood sugars are too high. My daughter has has type 1diabetes and when I hear the word "ketones" I have awful thoughts. - 4/20/2013   9:23:37 PM

I've been taking them for a while and they do seem to help me. They also don't leave a bad taste in your mouth. - 4/7/2013   12:10:48 PM

How about just eating raspberries instead? You gain multiple benefits and no real possiblity of harm. Obviously this is a product of instant gratification. I understand the lure, but why do with think a pill can replace real food. - 4/3/2013   3:58:16 PM

Dr Oz is a quack - 4/1/2013   1:52:48 PM

If my nutrients and daily requirements are not in my food or in my vitamins, I do not take them. It's all a life style change and if I can't learn, it won't help me in the long haul. - 3/16/2013   3:22:13 AM

I am taking them now accompanied with tracking and exercise. So far I've lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks. It could be just being held accountable for everything I eat along with exercising at least 3 times a week. Who knows. But yes, I fell for the Dr. Oz episode. Basically hard work, consistency, accountability and determination are what got me here this far so I will not be taking them any longer. - 3/14/2013   11:41:24 AM

I also tried them..I could not tell the difference. Could have saved some money. - 3/13/2013   8:40:55 PM

While they haven't been tested by the FDA, I would never use it. I take Conklin Co, Inc. Lifetrack Balance and Vitality. What is the difference? These are tested by the FDA on a volunterry basis by the Conklin Co, Inc. They are advertised as helping increase energy and mood when accompanied by a healthy diet and exercise program. They say accompanied by not instead of and are no miracle pill. They were first tested by IBO's to see if they worked before being introduced to the general public. - 3/7/2013   5:03:33 PM

As much as I wish it was as easy as a pill, countless wasted dollars in the past on such things tell me to continue to eat right, work out and I will see the results - 3/7/2013   1:37:20 PM

Absolutely not. Have we not learned yet that there is no magic pill just hard work. - 3/7/2013   9:32:19 AM

thanks so much for the real info I've printed it to share with coworkers who are always trying the next best pill. - 3/7/2013   7:39:48 AM

Well, I did try it after seeing an episode on it by a doctor on tv. It didn't work for me. As W. C. Fields once said, "There's a sucker born every minute." - 3/7/2013   6:51:11 AM

I have not tried it. Maybe after it has been approved with the double blind tests I might think about it. But not tell then. God Blessings To Everyone. Have a Wonderful Week. Take Care. - 3/7/2013   3:45:05 AM

I'm sure this works for some people, but if you aren't interested in it, then don't do it. - 3/7/2013   12:29:50 AM

Because the manufacturer has not conducted human double-blind clinical studies on this drug tp test for safety and efficacy, I will not use this product. Ugh! - 3/7/2013   12:23:59 AM

I took raspberry ketones and green coffee bean extract bought at walmart together for 6 weeks along with diet and a little exercise and lost 14 pounds. I got out of my routine and didn't buy any for a month and didn't lose any weight, gained about 2lbs back. I started them again yesterday and and will see what happens over the next month. Time will tell I guess. - 3/6/2013   2:19:21 PM

How about just eat a handful of fresh or frozen raspberries with breakfast? It's delicious, probably costs much less, and - frankly - it's PRETTY. I mean - that's why we want to eat, right? Because the food looks pretty on the plate, so it must make us look pretty on the inside, which will make us pretty on the outside. (Ok, I totally simplified my logic, but I think you get the point.) - 3/6/2013   11:51:29 AM

i dont believe these crap.the way to lose weight is known to everyone but some want to believe that there are easy ways to get thin - 3/6/2013   11:33:23 AM

If it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. - 3/6/2013   11:18:00 AM

I tried them & didn't see any changes other than they make my stomach hurt. I have to do this the old fashion way...hard work & lots of sweating. - 3/6/2013   11:13:28 AM

No, I'm waiting for my lottery winnings (even though I don't play) and a visit from the tooth fairy (even though I haven't lost any teeth since childhood, knock on wood) first. They're more likely. - 3/6/2013   10:48:00 AM

With the combination of taking the raspberry ketones i am eating healthy, working out and logging everything in my trackers, i have lost 12lbs in a month and a week. I feel so full of energy now. I found my raspberry ketones and Marc's and Walmart for a fraction of the cost. They are right about 5-9.00 a bottle. Online is expensive. - 3/6/2013   10:19:56 AM

It seems like so many people today are only focused on the vanity, looking thinner and fitting into smaller clothes. What we all need to be focusing is getting healthier, and if healthy weight loss comes with getting healthy, then it's a bonus. I find it very sad how many companies are misleading people and making them believe in some of these products. There are so many weight loss pills and products out there that I used to believe using them would be the only way I could lose. I can tell you that I never tried one, I found SP instead and lost 50 pounds the healthy way. - 3/6/2013   10:06:43 AM

I wish there was something other than surgery to get rid of the excess skin. I am at goal, and I have a lot of lose hanging skin. It is very ugly. Unfortunately, I did it to myself by years of not caring about my health. - 3/6/2013   8:56:59 AM

There ARE no magic pills; we can't trust shysters like Dr. Oz who will hawk whatever supplement comes along with no evidence at all it works. I wish there was a way for me to take a pill and have the pounds fall off, but let's be honest... if such a thing existed, wouldn't we all take it?

Let's break this cycle of get-thin-quick schemes and shortcuts and focus on sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes. Your wallet will thank you! - 3/6/2013   8:46:34 AM

I tried them too but didn't continue taking them so I can't say if they would have worked for me or not. I believe some things that don't work for one person may for another. Who knows- - 3/6/2013   8:09:37 AM

I tried them and they didn't work for me. Took them for 1 year and couldn't tell the difference. Maybe it's just me...but...I think they were a waste of money. - 3/6/2013   7:59:35 AM
