Trust me it does work to cut cravings ...im not too sure abt the whole fat burner thing but this really does work on the appetite...been on this the last year..so far it still works and havent developed a resistance to it. When i do skip taking it then i do notice i end up eating a lot more esp carbs and sweets. So far it works...better than the chinese herbal crap that dont even list ingredients...although ive tried that too &#128512;

I am trying to limit my dairy intake, and this helps curb the cheese cravings when you use it in cream sauces or other recipes!

I have used this product since 1975 and adjust my sugar in the recipe when I want to. Normally, I use it as if it were just ground chocolate in my recipes.

No. Not at all. In the early 1970's I went to a canoe tripping camp in Canada. Old school canvas covered wood canoes, canvas packs and tents. We were issued unsweetened bakers chocolate like this as an energy booster (sugar free) for some of our most arduous portages (hikes on trails between lakes).It is not what I would call pleasurable to eat. But it provides energy and clarity with no rise in blood pressure like other stimulants. No blood sugar ill effects since there is zero sugar involved. It seemed quite safe to give to very young teenagers because of the lack of any negative side effects. I am not a fan at all of using sugar as an energy source. Leave the sugar for hummingbirds and aspiring diabetics. No. Not at all. In the early 1970's I went to a canoe tripping camp in Canada. Old school canvas covered wood canoes, canvas packs and tents.

yes, you can add anything you like but if you are trying to loose weight you might try adding "Stevia" a natural alternative to sugar that is not harmful.

it may be true, sounds true, but i like the sweetleaf flavors and it is better than eating bad food maybe i can try preparing the green stevia and adding the flavors for baking. sometimes choices are good better best

This is not a pharmaceutical or metabolism changing supplement. It's useful as a sugar substitute and helps cut cravings while the fiber content helps do what fiber does naturally. Fiber helps move your bowels and helps block fat/sugar from being absorbed in your intestines. It's best to take it about 15 minutes before meals as it cuts cravings and gives you a sugar/fiber boost to make you feel full sooner. The study this is based on only included older overweight women. They were given 4 teaspoons a day and it helped them lose 33 pounds over 2 months. This more than likely helped curb their appetite and the fiber helped a bit with gut bacteria and detoxifying their bowels allowing their bodies to drop weight without a lot of effort and making them feel a bit better. If you're not severely overweight and you already eat healthy you will not notice as much of an impact and if you make it a point to eat the same amount you were eating before even if you're not hungry then you will not notice anything either. As a sugar substitute it's great. It tastes like caramel mixed with coffee mixed with chocolate, and not in a bad way. It's thick so it sinks to the bottom of watery oatmeal but can give it a good flavor. I tend to keep my 4 teaspoons (the amount given daily in the study) in two oral syringes so I can take it before meals or add it to anything that I feel needs sweetening.

No, it does not, or if it does, they are negligible. Re: tasteDifferent people like different things, but as far as I am concerned, this product nicely replaces sugar. I will not miss sugar.I recommend it.

I noticed my need to consume sugary foods has dropped with this. I also feel fuller quicker. I attribute 99% of this to less stress.

have no idea - it is not advertised as "sugar free " so I would not think so. It is not a very good unless it has improved over the last two years.

Actually, it's better, we think. Easier to control the amount, so less bitterness. I use it to make very low carb ice cream, especially. It's fabulous! Easy to measure, because it measures like real sugar. I made amazing coconut macaroons, too. You can't tell it's not sugar. No uncomfortable tummy sensations either. It doesn't affect the body's sugar level at all. Worth every penny!

If you havve a candida problem,worry about getting rid of that first.One sign you'll see is a reduction in sugar cravings if it's working.If it has added sugar it has to be in the dietary label.

It Regulates Blood Sugar, helps curb sugar cravings and is safe but, it is an extra added ingredient found in most of these formulas, (Dr. Oz only recommended Potassium & Calcium for better absorption)

I highly recommend it if you are obsessed with ice cream or dessert. I no longer eat all the sugar or fattening stuff that makes me feel like crap after. It's helped me lose that extra bulge cuz what I'm eating is healthy and delicious, changed my life:)
