Akavar
Claims that you can eat all you want and still lose weight.
BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
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.

Haven't seen too much of a drastic change, but I lost about 4 lbs in 2 weeks without doing anything. Overall I think its an average pill.
posted Mar 5th, 2010 12:49 pmThe pills work like any other regular diet pills, but the things they claim on their website is a scam. While on this pill I do not recommend you eat all you want because you will gain weight if you do so. I think this is where most people ends up hating it..

I found out about Akavar 20/50 originally from one of my girlie magazines it said you didn't have to work out and honestly I am a lazy person. I wanted to drop a little bit of weight before my husband came home from Iraq... NO JOKE in 1 week and 3days I had lost 17 lbs BUT I did do a diet... eating fish and chicken, turkey or stakes no pork no ground beef for meat. Had a lot of fiber in my diet as well. I dropped way more then I ever thought and I kept it off until after I had my son (2years later) so now I am going to order me another bottle and get started again!

I LOVE your product!!! It doesn't give me the jitters, it makes me feel better, and I'm on top of my game more easily when I use it. I recently had to switch to a different product though because no one locally sells it. :((

I haven't been taking these since last summer and I haven't gained any weight I'm so pleased with myself. I still however plan on losing 10 more pounds to get to my goal weight of 105. Although, I will see how comfortable I am at 110. I don't want to get too small. So, within the next couple days I will begin taking these pills again. I work out on a regular basis and drink tons of water. Hope you guys are doing well with your goals too. Good luck!

I bought this product about 6 months ago but totally forgot about it. (I'm really bad for that, tried taking vitamins too) but after stepping on the scale and realizing i had gained 8 pounds in a month i'm def gonna give it another try. I am 5'1" and weigh 162. Would like to be 145 so fingers crossed that it works. Keep ya posted. :)

I didn't know check to see if it was FDA approved when I bought it. Opps. But, I figure, if there was anything Seriously wrong with it.. Someone, somewhere, would know about it.. and word would get out pretty quick. I'm going to try it. I'll let you know how it goes... I have a really unusual diet though, so if it doesn't work for me, that doesn't mean much

Didn't work that great. I've tried many and this one was middle of the pack at best.

I took this for 2 months with exercise and reduced calories. I love how you lose a couple pounds right off the bat so it gets you motivated. Then I worked hard for those two months and lost 20 pounds. Then I reduced my dose over the course of two weeks workin' hard the whole time trying to avoid putting even one pound back on in water weight...and I never did. I was off it for a month and lsot a couple of pounds but started to eat a 2000 calorie diet and stopped exercising since my husband has been home a lot...I hate exercising around people...so the weight loss stopped because I was eating regular, but I never gained back. But since I notice myself snacking a lot again, I decided to start takin' it again. I do not get side-effects from it, in fact I get light-headed from my morning coffee but NOT from akavar. I do make sure that any soda I drink is caffeine free though because I know I get too much caffeine when using Akavar and coffee, I don't figure the caffeinated soda would be all that safe. I take 2 before lunch and 2 before dinner. I go to bed very late so I don't notice any trouble sleeping.I still have 24 pounds more to lose. I want to be the beautiful 115...I'm 139 right now. I am the size right now that I was when I got married and pretty much what I was throughout my teen years...but I would love to be the perfect 115 for my height.

Just started taking this yesterday. Though I haven't had time to say wether or not I like or dislike the product, I can say that I didn't even THINK about my midnight snack until I was in bed thinking about my new diet pill! That is a huge success in itself, since I have had a snack before bedtime every night for months.
