I am getting mine in the mail this week. I will let you guys know if it makes any difference. They are very cheap if you know where to find them, so I'm only losing $8 for a 30 day supply, which is fine even if they don't work.
A co-worker who recommended them to me claims to have lost 15lbs or so in the past 2 months with absolutely no change in diet or exercise. We will see.
I'm using them with the liquid l-carnitine. I don't really know how much is them but diet and exercise are part of my routine. I was about 226#s when I started it. Took me to current and it,s been about 2.5 months. I usually can,t lose weight easily i've pcos.
Hope as a test study I help.

I am all too familiar w/ PCOS, so you took it and it helped?? Did you change diet and exercise as well?
Hi GHlover. Actually I believe it is but I have severl things I'm doing (with Pcos I get too frustrated w/o the extra help) I am eatting customary breakfasts of glutten free oats with fiber, chia seeds and Spirulina(from health food stores). I add an apple for nutritional purposes and I try to keep on track the rest of the day with lean/porportions in my protein and healthy salads. I eat little to no packaged/gluten foods. I don't eat any dairy, rarely but that might be every 5-6 weeks a piece of cheese. It's not kept at our house. I have cut out much oil and try to stay on track ..I have found the cortisol was brutal when I was spinning on my bike 20-21 miles per day. That was about too hard on my knees and I believe my cortisol as well. (It was taking me about 70minutes) Now I limit myself to 40m per day(I haven't in 2 days, my knees were hurting bad) I do the weight training 3x per week and I can say if I follow this plan it's slow (which I'm told is best) but I am avaraging 5.5pounds per month loss! I like it this way cuz i have had occassions I've allowed bad food, in moderation. I have a rule at our house though ... no baking-ever. Too much of it around is dangerous to me and those I love.
Let me know if you try the Lcarnintine with raspberry keetones. I feel my success is better since adding it- I get them @vitaminworld.
Take care.
I try them when then were on Dr oz as well went though 2 bottles and did'nt lose a lb.
That's all you need to say that it was on Dr. Oz. I know how you feel, nothing he's recommended has ever worked for me. These days, I just avoid the hype.

I just started with the rasp ketones and am waiting to see any results...but I am also on WW and have begun a 6 week walking program. So how do I really know they will work?
Hi guys, I am new here and I just joined a few days ago.
I hope I am posting in the right spot!
I was wondering if anyone has had "success" with Raspberry ketones and if so which brand did you get?
Also is there anything I can do for my metabolism? I've started exercising and stuff, but I would like to take a supplement or something natural if possible that will help me get pumping!
I have used raspberry ketones (the same ones dr. oz recommended) and saw absolutely no difference in either my energy levels or weight loss. Ditto with apple cider vinegar pills. I am hesitant to suggest this because I don't really think any diet pills are worth it, but capsaicin pills (red pepper) are supposed to have a good thermogenic effect. I tried them and found my stomach was way too sensitive for them, but YMMV.
It depends what you mean by 'good', spicy foods have been shown to give your metabolism a slight boost but the difference really is pretty slight. You might burn an extra 10-20 calories/day by taking a capsaicin pill but in the overall scheme of things, that is not much
and for what you pay for the pills, you're better off eating some raspberries and sprinkling some cayenne on your eggs.
Most definitely. I have heard that even eating spicy foods and drinking very cold beverages is about the same as far as thermogenic weight loss as taking those pills. For me, it was definitely NOT worth it. 10-20 extra calories versus gross heartburn? No thanks.
And actually, lemon juice is supposed to have a better effect than raspberry ketones but it is hard to sell overpriced lemon juice. So if you are tempted to try raspberry ketones, I'd say add a little lemon juice to your water.
I don't see how taking in ketone supplements would aid in weight loss. Ketones are only used as an energy source when the tissues are starved for sugar (nocarb diets or when the tissues are unable to efficiently take up sugars) and fatty acids for the heart. If the preferred energy source is available, the ketones would just be broken down and excreted.
Also, the body will make ketones when needed...
What I have heard is that most raspberry ketone supplements do not contain it. As to thermogenic effects, there are only 1-2 mouse studies, one showing an upregulation of adiponectin. While this would be positive, it needs to be assessed in humans. If you want a "supplement", I would rather suggest green tea. There, human clinical trials show an effect on abdominal fat loss.
