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 cannot understand why there are still so many ridiculous posts. 1st it seems that you truly believe that doing nothing but taking an orange pill will work. If you actually want to lose weight as you claim why wouldn't you add a bit of exercise and... the dreded diet to the mix. As for the post about "waking up surrounded by fast food" I pray you are joking. I am very sad that the underage people are using this. So many high school students end up in the hospital or worse because of misuse of drugs of any kind. If you are just hoping to lose 10 pounds eat healthy and exercise a bit more- don't put yourself at risk to fit in. I have taken the pills for a week now and have lost 5 pounds but I also watch what I eat and workout. There isn't a perfect pill that will do the work for you, but this is a nice help to have along for the ride.
Well, I just started the pill today, I feel fine, but notice that I wasn't hungry at my usual time. I have lost 35lbs on my own with diet and exercise and do want to lose that extra 5 for my goal weight. I am hoping that this will be that extra push. To all remember that the key to weight loss is diet and exercise. Try getting on the scale once a week and planning out how much to cut back the up coming week. This will help you maintain your weight and will teach you self control. Good Luck to all.
WARNING! WARNING! iv been taking this pill for 2 weeks and when i start to go to sleep my whole body cramps up and i cant move
I started taking Akavar 20/50 yesterday (6/10/08). I am 18 years old, 5'7", and 179 pounds. After being a size 4 a year and a half ago and gaining weight for an unknown reason (diet and exercise regimen are the same), I decided to take action. My mom and I are both trying Akavar. Yesterday, I took 2 when I woke up and was able to have a bowl of Special K and feel full, which was abnormal for me. Around dinner time, I took another 2 pills and ate less at dinner than normal. So far so good? It was, until an hour and a half later I had an extremely bad panic attack. I don't know if it was because of all of the caffeine, but I had to take a xanax to calm myself down. I'm a little apprehensive to try taking it again, so I just took one pill instead of two. I will update again and let you know what happens. I do feel quite bloated and dizzy when I take it, but no other side effects.
hi everyone! I just started the pills today. I am just going to take 2 per day to see if I can handle the caffeine. I am 5'10" and 183 and need to get down to about 145. I hope this works! i will keep you all posted. What are your typical meal plans? Does everyone eat the same as before? or just smaller portions?? thanks!
I used it for 2 full days (2 in the morning and 2 at night) and then on the 3rd day during the morning. I felt like my mood was better and I did feel fuller. BUT I have migraines and just after the 2 1/2 days I took the pills my migraines and become worse and so bad that I have to get an MRI done. I'm assuming its from the pills because before I only had migraines about 1 time a month and now I've already had 3 in the past week. And I didn't lose any weight. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!
this pill is not working at all.!!!!!!!!!! I just wasted my freaking money!!! i finished a whole bottle today and it didnt do nothing to me....i am still the same weight. Please dnt buy this stupid pills
I just started taking this pill today, and im hoping that it will impact my weight. I am 5' 9", and weigh 190 ibs, so there is a problem. I have been researching different weight loss methods and diets, and none that i have tried have worked...If i were to get down to 160, i would be happy. Anyone got any suggestions of something else that i could try?
well today was week one and i lost 2 pounds...i mean you cant really expect to lose 10-20 pounds in one week so its off to a good start. i do notice that i dont over eat anymore and my mood has been a lot better and I have more energy. I had one problem one day that I didn't eat enough and I got all shaky but as long as you eat an drink a full glass of water everything is great!
I've been taking Akavar 20/50 for a month. No one can expect miracles, pills respond differently to different people. If you are one who tries every new fad on the market, you will likely not lose weight anymore, you're body has formed a tolerance to this pills. I love Akavar, it is one of the first pills I have ever tried, I never gave in to the whole "Eat all you want and still lose weight" but you gotta be smart! I try to watch what I eat. I don't count calories, and I still eat a good amount, but no more Big Macs, Whoppers, or anything else that is obviously high in fat, I still eat pizza and cheeseburgers. I have not exercised since starting this pill, but I am currently at 35 pounds lost! I was 125 lbs overweight. Just think, if I add exercise to my regimen I may be down to my goal by my birthday in November!!
Honestly, just by reading the Akavar website, it totally sound like a joke. No F-ing way is it going to help you keep your weight off, (if you are significally overweight). If you really think it's going to work, well good luck. Advice to everyone. Research any pill before taking it, there are better ones out there by far. I didn't find one good review on the net about this pill. So take it if you want but I seriously have better things to waste my money on.
Terrie Lakewood...how can you write all of that info after only taking it for 2 days. Of course you wouldnt have sleep problems that quick and I guess you started your period the day you took your first pill? I am starting my pills tomorrow and I will post truthful statements as I go but people...please stop trying so hard to sell this pill after taking it 2 days.
I have gone through one bottle of Akavar, and definitely plan to buy it again. I have lost a noticeable amount of weight, and feel completely energetic after I take a pill (especially first thing in the morning!). I only take one pill at a time since 2 make me jittery and lightheaded, but it says you can take up to 4 daily, so I just take 3-4 spaced out during the day, depending on how many times I eat. I definitely eat whatever I want......but when I'm taking the pills I really hardly want anything. If I take it when I wake up, I don't feel hungry at all until maybe lunch time, and then I'm full after a few bites. I also don't crave snacks in the evening like I do normally. I generally eat very healthily, but still have a difficult time keeping my weight down. Akavar keeps me from overeating (even if food is good for you, you can still consume too much) without feeling like I'm having to stop myself....I just don't feel like having any more. I think the reason it may not work for some people is that they may be unfairly "testing" the product by consuming everything in sight. Obviously, it is impossible to lose weight that way, no matter what you are taking. Additionally, no product can work for everyone, as every body is different.
i just started akavar 2 days ago. i'm happy to say there is NO heartburn,NO jitters, no ill affects so far. i am 43 yrs. old it has helped me to stop snacking after my "normal" meal, i feel full.. all night. i have energy but not like i am "on something". i used to want to nap after dinner. now i have the energy to walk or excercise. before i would eat and want to lay down and watch t.v. i have controlled my appetite AND have gotten a boost of energy to actually"DO SOMETHING". i like this so far. i don't feel like such a lazy person anymore. i eat normal..get full..and i don't eat again like i used to. this has not affected my sleep, so far i am happy. i already feel better.and i do drink alot of diet pop. i don't eat alot of fatty/fast foods. just normal. my moods are even better even on my menstrual cycle. i am liking this!! will keep u updated on any weight loss. i know this works for me as i am back into some excercise because this not only gave me the energy but because i am not "stuffing" myself and overeating. i WANT to move around more. remember it's not a license to eat whatever but be responsible and to take the "cue" to eat better and maybe take the stairs when possible. it's alot better than risking "anal leakage". terrie
I must say i have been working out and eating better and It did not do anything for me. I am a hardcore coffee drinker so maybe i am just immune to the caffiene that is supposed to make it work. I did get the blurry vision and other side effects but not one pound of weightloss. Maybe i have just plateau'd. I wish you all the best of luck but i must say it did not work for me. Hydroxycut so far is the best stuff that works over the counter but it is one of those that you do not see immediate results, you have to be strong and continue taking it and then BAM! it's like over night you just start dropping weight like crazy... Best of luck to all of you and don't give up...
Ok people lets think about this...... Eat all you want and still lose the weight..... that means eat normal food.... you can't sit and eat candy, cookies and fatty foods and lose weight. Come on now this is for people on the go that really don't have time for a lot of working out. So for all of you that want to sit and eat all the time good luck, maybe while you are sitting and eating you can write a book on how to gain weight and blame it on a pill.lol. This stuff is great i feel lots of energy and I am a mom of 2 with a full time job. I have been on it for about 2 weeks and lost 10 lbs. !!!!!!
i just got my first bottle of this miracle pill like 3 days ago and i have lost a total of 6 pounds!!!!! omg i am so excited and just cant believe how my body is changeing! i love this pill and cant wait to get down from my size 4 to a zero again!!!!!!! dont listen to these other dopes on here that say it doesnt work because it does theyre just using it wrongly...i mean it only says eat whatever and lose weight to boost your confidence.......duh......im a cheerleader and footballers wife and i am loving how hes loving the results too......ill keep yall posted....love Danielle Nicole
first of all, as with any highly caffeinated diet pill, you are gonna get weightloss results fast with formadable diet and excercise. yes, over-eating with any diet pill will make it obsolete. I know this, because i've use over 10 different brands in the past. I just started using AKAVAR about 2 weeks ago, just irregularly. I have only lost 2 lbs. but on the plus side i lost 1 1/2 inches on my waistline. GOOD STUFF! Now...for all you sceptics...why dont you stop being greedy and purposely eating stupid fattening stuff just to test your belly strength. Go for a walk or two everyday, or hit the gym. Combine these strategies with this pill and then look for positive results. Be smart. Im military, I work out constantly with very few results because my metabolism is so darn slow. With AKAVAR, I feel the energy...a little nervousness...but lots of energy and appetite suppression. Remember, everyone's body and health is at a different level, so beware of everything you put in your body and watch the quantity as well, don't try to overdue it ok.
i took the pills for 5 days i had to stoped because i started having really bad cramps at the top and bottum of my belly, the day after i started i through up and then felt fine, the next day is when i started geeting cramps, the cramps are soooooooo bad that fill like laber pains, i have been in bed for two day now, i am trying to see if anyone out there had this happen them?
yo what it do?? ya ive been takin akavar for like 3 days.... it curbed my apetite, and gave me a tiny boost. i have lost 25 lbs in the past 2 months... hydroxycut and golds gym 6 times a week. also watching my calorie intake. hopefully this pill will help me loose that last ten lbs by the end of june!!!!!
