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.

Ok, for the people that are bashing diet pills,.. Why are you on here?? For those that say this doesn't work, you need to realize everyone is built differently. What works for me is not going to work for you. What makes this pill work or not work is in your genetics. There is a chemical compound in it that works on the parts of your brain that say "Im hungry" and "Im full". Just because it says "Eat all you want and still lose weight" does not mean go to McDonalds and order the entire menu. If this is your eating habit, nothing is gonna work for you hun, try a doctor.... However, if you have it in your mind that you are ready to lose weight.... read the packaging; and read all of it.... healty diet and exercise are recommended for best result. I have been taking this pill for about a week and a half and yes, it works,... FOR ME... I set it in my mind that I was going to start eating better.... this does not say that I cut out fried or fatty foods all together, however, I made a deal with myself. Thats how it begins. There is no miracle pill or diet that works 100% of the time for 100% of people. Your diet and exercise routine does not work for me, and my diet and exercise routine does not work for you. If you are gaining weight on this pill its because your body has an immunity to it and you should try something else. Quit wasting your time with pills and see a doctor. For everyone- If anything is gonna work, you have to believe in yourself first. When you decide you are gonna stick to something, make a deal and reward yourself when you meet goals in weightloss. 10#- splurge on dinner, go to get pizza or something. 20#- buy a new wardrobe... its all about commitment to yourself, not to the pills or diet routines. Im no doctor, or anything else. Im a 24 year old Military Reservist and Active Duty wife- mother to 3 boys.... it takes time and faith....

I have taken akavar for a couple of weeks, it works but to those that have heartburn, drink more water thats what I found works when your heart burn comes on. Give it a chance to those that are so negative

OK First off you really have to question a product whose commercial starts off by saying "We couldn't say it on tv if it wasn't true" Hello how stupid do you have to be to believe that. You never get Something for Nothing! This is a fairly new product on the American market and there may be all kinds on side effects that have not been discovered or documented. Yes this product has been in Europe for awhile but that does not mean they have gone public with all the side effects. Better yet go on believing that this will work, I have a pill that will make you learn a second language just by taking it 4 times a day. No learning involved just take these special pills and learn a nother language. AND REMEMBER WE COULDN'T SAY IT ON THE INTERNET IF IT WASN'T TRUE!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I take Akavar anally and it has helped me more than if I were to take it orally. Somehow the ingredients are absorbed more efficiently through the anus. This leads to an absorption level of 50% more than through the mouth. I'm going to try to shoot these up IV to see the boost then.

I'm back! I took the pills the first day and I got a heart burn which when away by the end of the day. I mentioned that not because I am so negative, but I just wanted to be honest. Anyways, the next Day1 had no heart burn and I haven't experienced it anymore. Day2 I had to rush to the bathroom with sooorry "loose stool" I don't wanna say it was diarrhea cause that would mean more than 3 times a day. That happened an hour after I had taken the pills, of course, as directed 15mins before lunch. However, Day3 and Day4 I have had no side effects at all. With regards appetite, I don't feels there has been a change, I mean I am not feeling full nor am I feeling more hungry. I am not one of those who eats a lot, nor am I one of those who starve, and I haven't changed since taking the pills so far. I thought I would feel less hungry or full. But I don't mind that, the pill is suppose to work any hows. We'll see!!!!:)

Ok I started taking Akavar months ago , but like some of the others i had quite worrying side effects..obviously being heavy was not great when have heart burn and dizzy spells along with palpatations. It makes me wonder whether you could in fact have a heart attack..??? I have heard great things untill it hit the US and now it seems there is NOT enough info on it and the general census of opinion is that it is CRAP,,we are all indivviduals but beware anyway some of these positive reviews could be from Akavar !!!!!!!!!!!

First, a little background. I have tried dieting in the past, but I am not one of those sorts who will "crash" diet, nor am I inclined to try the latest fads as they happen. Rather, I try to limit how much I eat, and I stay away from excess sugar, excess fat, and so on. I have found that if I eat less than about 1700 calories a day, I can lose weight. The problem is my appetite is just too big - I need at least 2500 calories a day to stave off the hunger. Enter Akavar: I bought a bottle of pills yesterday, woke up this morning a little hungry, and took a single pill (i.e. half the usual dosage - I am slightly sensative to caffeine). My hunger passed 15 minutes later, and has not returned in the hour and a half that I've waited so far. The only side effect I have noticed is a slight "earthy" um... taste... to the gas that I normally have to deal with (we all have "tasted" something at least once when we burp, I'm sure). That, and a somewhat higher than normal energy level. I'll write again in a week or two with my progress. So far, the pill is working as claimed.

I would like to take a moment and thenk each and every person who has posted a comment here so far. I will admit, I found this page while looking for a diet or exercise plan or supplement, but read a few comments and stayed to read the whole "show" (lol). It reads like a story and it had my attention until the end. I have found a great site to read an entertaining dialogue and forget about things like losing weight. Between these products' ridiculous ads, the bickering amongst the different opinions and the emotional and pill popping rollercoaster ride the tale spins you into another realm of reality where common sense, clear grammar and ambition are uneard of! God! this could win an award for nonfiction! Thanks again, but if you are missing what I am saying, please take a moment and read all of the comments from top to bottom as if they were characters carrying on converstaions in a book called AKAVAR! You have my vote - thanks for the giggle :)

The heartburn you may feel after you have taken your pills is because you have not drunk enough water with the pills. That happened with me, too. I have been taking the Akavar supplement for two days and realize the pills control my appetite so I can stay on my diet! That is exactly what I needed.

Has any one tried taking the pills on an empty stomach? Does it work better?

I have started useing akavar this morning. I don't feel hungery and have a boost of energy. I weigh 321lbs. I will weigh in again on 2/3/08 and i will post the results. Don't knock it until you try it. Every one is different.

I just started taking Akavar today. Took my first 2 pills this morning with water, 15 mins later I ate my normal breakfast. Same thing around dinner time. I have to say, I have had to go to the restroom more than usual today. I also noticed I had a lot more energy than usual. I do believe it helps to breakdown the food you eat faster than it normally would. I haven't had any bad side effects yet, although I am a little disappointed that I was still hungry all day and ate my normal 1800 cals as usual. Will have to wake another week or two to see how my pants fit, but so far it's a thumbs up for me.
vicki
it worked for me.. of course i combined it with a healthy diet and cardio 45 mins a day. drink lots of water and use akavar to help you lose the weight .

I am not happy that it does not control my apetite as others say. I still feel hungry and eat as usual. Day7 and I did not loose weight. I will give it a chance...its not a miracle pill right. I have also notice that I use the bathroom more often although I did not increase my fluid intake. Day8 I got my menstrual period and notice that the flow did not start until the next day, which does not usually happen to me. I also noticed that I got my tummy aches only after (taking the pills and) the meal. However, Day9 I have decided to walk for about an hour a day. The question is "Is Akaevar really working for Me?"

I haven't read a single comment from any one who can say that they have been on Avakar for an appropriate period of time and have finally met their desired weight target. Something is definitely wrong here and doesn't add up. I guess common sence and a proper diet and exercise regime is the only way. There are no miracle cures or formula's. Its the lazy ones that are getting ripped off as they continue to believe that by sitting down and taking a pill all is going to work out. Sto day dreaming and get on that thread mill !!!
nikki

It's me again. I started akavar on 1/27 Sunday. This is day 3 and I have already lost 4 & 1/2 pounds. I feel more energized and I am not able to eat very much. I am really impressed so far. I can't weight till this sunday to weigh in again. It seems to really be working for me. I need to lose aprox. 175 pounds. I will keep every one posted. Has anyone ever been on for extended length. I would like to hear from you if so. Good luck everyone who is struggling with weight problems.
