Akavar
Claims that you can eat all you want and still lose weight.
BACKGROUND
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.
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 am 19... I've been taking it for a few days now and I like it... I'm just worried that when I get to where I want to be as far as weight goes (about 15 lbs. from here), it will all come right back if I STOP taking AKAVAR. I guess we'll see... I don't want DEPENDANCE on anything.
DRINK A LOTTTTT OF WATER.
I've used this the past few months..I was 220 lbs and I'm down to 185 and working toward 180. I didn't change my lifestyle such as adding exercise. I love these pills..kept my appetite down and added to my energy.
Started today! Just took 1 pill to see how I react. I'm 20 years old, 150 lb and 5'2''. I'm a shorty so the weight looks huge on me :(. I'm looking to get back down to 120 where I used to be. Also goin to eat healty non processed things. We'll see how it works !
i started akavar over a week ago, i am 19 years old 5'8 and 328lbs. iv started dieting and working out, while taking these, the fisrt day i started them, i took 2 with lunch and two with dinner, it made me feel ... weird like hyper/upset stomach.. so i cut down too one with lunch and one with dinner.. i never feel hungry while taking them. im not going to get on a scale for two weeks.. if i didnt lose any i am going to be upset but i will keep trying ..
please wish me luck!
I started taking the pills yesturday. I took 2 for lunch and 2 for dinner. I guess it had an effect on how late I ate. I could not go to sleep for the longest, it felt like I was paranoid, and I had a rapid heartbeat. I didnt go to sleep till about 2 or 3 this morning, it was the worst feeling in the world and I dont want to ever feel like that again. So I started up again today only taking one for breakfast and one for lunch, I feel that I have NO energy and am super thirsty, I will also start working out to see a better outcome. I have seen and read good reviews. I hope I get the same. I also wish to loose at least 35 lbs. I am 24 years old, 5'1 and weigh about 190, i have 2 kids and would like to be more involved w/ doing activities w/ them. I will keep you guys posted and let you know if I see any results.
Also I feel the need to "snack" on something about every 2 hours, but I am only eating fruits, we'll see what the results are!!!
I'm pretty impressed. Lost 5lbs the first week. You can eat all you want but you just don't want to eat. I started with one pill at lunch and one pill at dinner. The first day or two I had a headache but it has subsided. I have now increased to two pills at lunch and two at dinner. I am not sensitive to caffeine or its relatives but I'd highly recommend people who are to stay away. I also stopped drinking sodas which I'm sure helped with the weight loss. I didn't go to akavar for a miracle but something that could help with the cravings which is exactly what it has done. I will be adding an exercise program back to my routine which should help with further weight loss. I don't have a lot to lose but needed help in getting started.
I just started it today. I'm hoping it will work for me. One thing I've noticed is that it makes me eanna drink alot of water. Ive also already noticed a decrease in appetite. I am 5'8" and 205lbs would like to lose at least 5olbs. I will post updates. Wish me luck.
I started the pills today. I am only going to take 2 pills per day to start - 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner. I have reached the point of no return with my weight - no clothes fit and I don't want to buy anymore!
I've been taking AKAVAR for about 12 days now. It definitely decreases the appetite, and gives an energy 'buzz' unlike that of plain caffeine.
But personally, I dispute their claim that you can eat all you want and still lose weight. I started a reduced calorie diet in addition to the pills and I've dropped next to nothing.
I would warn people to start off taking one pill instead of two until you know how it will affect you. Especially if you take other caffeine related products or drink coffee/tea. I could see this being heart attack in a bottle if taken in excess.
This product really works. I started using this a month ago. My height is 5'8 my starting weight was 282. Since using AKAVAR I am rarely hungry and eat regular. Once I started seeing results I joinned Ballys and started work out in the Aerobics class 2 days a week for 30 mins each day.
It has been a month now, my current weight is 246.
It works!
Ok i know i posted the day before but today was day 3 and i got the worst pains in my tummy.Like my period/labor pains..it even hurt to pee..i shaked for a bit..it took bout 4 hrs to go away and i still dont feel 100% tommorow i will take it again but if the same thin happens i m gonna try 2 and if it happens again i m done with it and go back to old fashion atkins i hate to feel like i m die just to improve my life.
definitely takes away the appetite, if possible seems like my taste buds are more attuned to what I eat, salty out! fat yuck! but anything in the vegetable and fruit department taste marvelous... I even have to cook my meat extra well to tolerate it, smaller portions too. Really like this product! BUT.... I only take 2 or 3 a day never 2 at a time as it makes my heart race 1 before each meal is perfect but not after 4 pm or you'll be up all night.
Drink lots of water... about 2 lbs a wk. so far.....
i am going to start the pills today, before lunch !! i dont eat a lot but, lately i was starting to eat too much junk food. but last week i converted back to eating healthy food, so hopefully the pill will boost my weight loss. im 5'7 and 170 wich i have been stuck at for almost 3 years, prior to other weight loss, nothing seems to work for me because of this long term plauteu and i want to be 140 by the beginning of may !! i have got to say tho, that some of the posts have got me wondering if this only acts as a water pill, because some of the weight loss seems that way such as 2 - 5 pound in a day or two, hopefully its more than a water pill, cuz that will just be gained back upon not taking the pills !! anyhow we shall see .. wish me luck and good luck to everyone !!!
Ok this my day 2nd day almost 3rd on it my starving mind is not driving me crazy.I dont feel like i m slave to food.I have gotten a slit headache that passes. And i do feel my heart speed up a bit. I have normal gas n i removed my bowels twice this moring.I have had wls. I have experminted wit Hoodia didnt work lowest weight was 135 lost control on atkins been binging n spluring on carbs for 2 years now..I think my body got use to hoodia even though i would take more then recommeded. I hope that doesnt happen with this.I plan to lose like 35 close to 40pds.I WILL UPDATE.
i was 185 pounds and using akavar im now 160 and i feel good and im planning to lose my weight.
great product. Started a week ago. And i have no appetite what so ever. I take 2 capsules twice a day.
I've read such a mix in reviews... But so far I've lost 4 pds in 4 days... I like how I'm not always starving anymore, but it's verryyy hard for me to sleep. Don't take it after 6... My opinion. I was 140 now 136, going for 115.
i am just going to start it today not sure what i think yet if your not hungry do you have to eat ??? i hate breakfast

I have tried ALOT of diet pills and they never worked for me. 1 year ago i recieved a brown shirt and couldnt even fit it! I was so shocked and sad. I began seeing adds for akvar and decided to give pills 1 more try and 2 weeks later the shirt fit!! I even had extra room in it! Akavar really does work, just drink alot of water with it. I barely worked out and it still did it's job. Im back on it now and im sure the pounds will shed again!
Scary alert! Something very strange just happened. Be sure to take your Akavar with a FULL glass of water.
I took it with only a sip and then about 5 minutes later the weirdest thing happened. I had my mouth open, flossing my teeth, and suddenly it's like the pill exploded. Came up my throat and nose (rather painfully) and there was a puff of white powder that came out my mouth.
Needless to say I had a bit of a panic then chugged a bunch of water. I feel okay, but my throat is a bit sore now and the experience was unpleasant in general.
Anyway, I just started taking the Akavar yesterday. Am only taking one pill at decent intervals because I am concerned about the amount of caffeine (195MG / 2 capsules).
I haven't been hungry since I started taking it, but am also taking Hoodia (although I am less than confident in the purity of the Hoodia I purchased), and I am a coffee drinker.
I'll probably report back with a proper rating once I've been on it longer.
