Pros:
"Where did you get it for cheap?"
"It's not hype, this stuff really works. I took this supplement and started losing weight so fast I actually got a bit worried. My skin was loosening. It really does curb your appetite without any weird sickly feeling, and it gives a great energy boost without jitters, nervousness or mood swings. The pounds fly off, at least they did for me. A diet pill without all the usual side effects is almost unheard of, but they nailed it. It's odd it's not more popular. I think it's because there's so much negative attacks from other comapnies. if the word leaked out about this pill it would turn the diet industry on it's head. I drank beer every night I was on it and still lost weight. HOWEVER....there was one drawback, but maybe this is just a personal side effect. If you take this pill after 8 or 9 at night, you will NOT get a good night sleep. So, in fact, if you take it several nights in a row, not only will you be sleep deprived, but you will be just terribly moody, erratic, slow. This is terribly unhealthy for you. Just think of how you feel when you sleep one hour a night, and that's how it feels. Ugh. There is a solution to this....I take one at the crack of dawn (with a FULL glass of water. Do not skip this part.If you do not take with water the pill will regurgitate. Quite unpleasant.), and then one around five or six before dinner. After that, NO MORE.So, yes, there a couple weird things about this product. But I'm telling you, it works. If you think [$] is a bit steep, but for something that works so fast, it's steal."

Cons:
"Glad to hear this stuff worked for you! Me, I'm a little scared of taking pills where you have to be really careful of when you take it and what you take it with."
"I have only been taking this product for a week and have noticed that I have dropped 4 pounds. I know that's not a HUGE amount of weight, and I know that most people looking at diet pills are really looking for the Magical Answer.
This is not that pill. You will not do yourself any good if you don't drink a full bottle of water with it (usually about 15 mins before you eat). You won't help yourself if you "eat everything you want" and still expect to lose a Significant amount of weight.
Usually I eat 4-5 times a day. I eat this way because I am sustaining a level metabolism and energy level, I am feeling less hungry, and I am able to stop binging.
I only weigh 144 lbs now, what up to 148 last week. I am not looking for a HUGE weightloss answer, I just need a little aide to help me maintain my eating habbits. Here's a daily layout for me:
7am- take 1 pill with a WHOLE bottle of water
7:15am-
*1 nonfat yogurt (vanilla or strawberry)
*1 carb (half a bagel, 1 mini bagel, small bran
muffin, or oatmeal)
10am ish-
*1 piece of fruit (apple, banana or berries)
12pm- take 1 Akavar pill whole bottle of water
12:15pm-
*Pasta/rice w/ little to no sauce (low salt)
*Salad (w/ chicken if no pasta and Spritzers
for dressing)
3:30- Small snack - veggies or something crunchy
(baked chips if it's got to be junk)
5:30/6pm- 2 Akavar pills with a FULL Bottle of water
*Chicken with low sodiu & Fat sauce
*Rice
*1 - 1/2 servings of veggies (no corn/potatoes)
If it is necessary I eat some sorbet or 2 small pieces of dark chocolate in the evening (before 8) to cure the sweets craving.
Also, I drink 1 americano with Light Cream in the morning, so the caffine does not affect me like most have stated. I make sure to squeeze in half a glass of juice, 1 -2 glasses of 2% milk (working toward nonfat) and about 8-10 bottles of water total.
I started this diet about a week before taking these pills (but I was still sneeking in fast foods). Since I have started eating way less, but more than once or twice a day, I am energized and the Akavar is helping me sustain myself and keep my hunger at bay.
I will also be starting an excersize routine next week. Before the pills, I was excersising 3x weeks. I will boost it to every day m-f an hour a day, two hours tu&th.
I will make another review in two-three weeks."
Pros:
Cons:
"This is week 2 of using this product. I started off with a lower dosage due the amount of caffeine related ingredients. I just took one pill in the morning. I had great energy, not jittery or racing heartbeat, just wide awake. Then I upped it to 1 pill in the morning & 1 at lunch (just like they said, 15mins before meal)with the same type of energy. (I havent started taking the 2 pill dosage yet.) I then realized I wasnt eating as much at mealtimes. I weigh every morning and I was losing 1/2 - 1 lb everyday. So far I have lost 8 lbs (7 days). I havent really changed my diet as far as what I eat but I have definitely seen a decrease in the amount I eat and I dont even want to snack between meals anymore. I am concerned about the ingredients & lack of clinical tests that arent available. I am also concerned about the addiction to those ingredients if you ever want to stop taking them. I already want this thing first thing in the morning when I wake. But with 50lbs to lose, I need some help & a jump start. And so far this looks like its going to work."
Pros:
"I've tried many diet pills... mainly to give me the extra energy boost when working out and to control my binges. Unfortunally, about 90% of the products on the market result in headaches. Akavar has not given me any headaches, mood swings, or caffinene withdrawl symptoms like others in the past.
The company marketing material completely needs to be changed I think, it is a bit mis-leading plus I had to find a 3rd party supplier to check out the ingredients...cause I want to know what i'm taking.
In anycase, unlike what the marketing says...to get the best results, change your diet! Use the pills as a temporary tool. I only take 2 pills daily around lunchtime. any more your on a caffiene rush... at least for me. Make sure you eat something small though!! Overtime, thats not healthy. Eating lighter/healthier foods that meet or are slightly under the daily caloie intake is a must. Cut back on pop, coffee, etc.. the key is drink water! (0 caloire) the other trick I noticed is exercise at least 30 minutes every other day after taking the pills. This gives you an extra boost of energy.
Overall, with dedication to change how I look and feel, the pills as a temp. tool, change in diet, and exercise... I have lost 10LBS in just 3 weeks. I got 10 more to go! Hopefully people won't abuse this product as with others in the past!!! (thats my story)"
Pros:
"i take two pills in the morningand it is amazing i have tried every diet pill that is out there.i read reviews on pills and reading the negative reviews for this one just upset me. cause this pill REALLY works. i started taking it in january and have lost 40lbs i am now down to 158lbs. i was off it for two months trying the other fade diet pills but nothing works as well as this pill i tell everyone i know about it that is trying to get rid of weight. and when i was off it i didnt gain any of the weight back which was just another added bonus. [...]im not yet down to my size i want to be but i will be there by christmas!"
Pros:
Cons:
"This is a fantastic product.Like everyone else, I have tried them all. I a 48, with a previous weight loss of 30+ pounds over the past 2 years. The body fat stayed even after the weight loss, and the horrible stomach still hung over the top of my clothes. Not to mention the roll of fat at the bra strap...[$] I didn't loose weight, but I did loose the body fat! I went down one whole size with one bottle. My pants were a 12, and now are a 10. My tops were a Large and now are a medium. I did NOT change a thing. I didn't change my diet, or do exercise...just didn't have time with work and college. To see the fat go away is the best thing I can ask for. It's not always the weight that is a problem. The fat is a bigger problem.I amn giving some to my husband...I don't want to look at his blob anymore!"
Pros:
"I have to start off by saying that this may be one of those products that work better on someone that has alot of weight to lose. I want/need to lose about 60-80 pounds. I have lost 5lbs already and I do not take this 2 times per day as directed. I will add that this product is the first that I have tried since ephedra was taken off the market that actually does a multitude of things at once!
1)It curbs appetite!
2)It curbs cravings for junk foods (sweets)
3)It gives you energy without that shaky feeling and wears off nicely without problems.
In my opinion, it does EXACTLY what it says it does and is a great product. *Keep in mind that this is how the product affects me and may not be the same for someone else.* But I would have to say to at least try it because it does have the money back guarantee! You really have nothing to lose but the pounds.."
Pros:
"I find this stuff to be the best for people who have a hard time loosing weight, I have tried alot of diets
and the pills this stuff really works
give it try and you will be impressed"

I do feel as if I have a little more energy."
