I don't really over eat, just eat the wrong things. Not needing to curb my appetite, would this still help with weight loss

OK, I'm not an expert, but as I understand it, Yacon improves metabolism and digestion. It also helps maintain healthy glucose levels. That said, if your diet is high in fat and sugar, it will be less beneficial is my guess. You don't have to be on a diet to benefit, but you need to be making overall reasobably healthy choices is my take to get the most benefit. Hope this helps.

Yes, if used as a sugar substitute. Extra bonus -- Yacon Syrup is a prebiotic.

Hi Claudia, it will boost your metabolism and make you more regular - those two things do help with weight loss. However, there is no real data that shows just taking yacon syrup will cause you to lose weight. The ladies in the Dr Oz trial were told to eat sensibly as well as take the syrup, although no one was put on a diet. We wouldn't make the claim that this will help with weight loss if you are eating the wrong things. It will help if you are willing to eat sensibly. Hope that answers your question!

If you drink a lot of water and follow the directions Plus add on light work outs you will see results. However it really does cut your appetite so to be doing strenuous work outs while also not eating very much can be difficult on the body! If you decide to try it do take the recommended three pills a day and stay hydrated!

No I don't believe it helped me lose weight but it did make me feel a lot better. It gave me more energy, a better overall feeling, and keeping my system clean. So I guess with continued use, it may help you lose weight because of a higher metabolism, more energy, and overall feeling. This can help you to do the things that you miss out on, and doing those things may help you to lose weight. I hope this helps.

Yes this helps you lose weight if you follow the directions. 1 scoop is 110 calories. If you measure properly, you will be good. Its used as a meal replacement in conjunction with healthy eating. I just use it with water and a dash of cinnamon to help regulate blood sugar ( i am not a diabetic, just want to lose weight). I use this for my lunch and eat small healthy snacks throughout the day ( apples, pears,pistachios ). Also you need to eat healthy and in moderation with exercise. It seems like a lot but hard work is how you will be successful. Nothing in life comes easy and there is no one drug cure.

I just started about a week ago. I lost 2.2 pounds this week. This is not meant to replace diet and exercise. It is meant to aid in weight management and help with hot flashes. I am on Weight Watchers and walk 6 days a week. I was not seeing more than a pound or so a week. Menopause does change our bodies and metabolism. So, I will see if the additional weight loss continues next week, but I was definitely feeling less cravings. There is no magic pill for weight loss. It takes work. But, if this helps, while I do all of the other steps, I will be grateful.

yes, it will help with weight loss. It helps curb your hunger for "other" foods. I lost 15 pounds in 2 months. Eat a nice meal for dinner and raw meal for breakfast and lunch. I also ran 3 times a week ( 1 mile a day) and ate healthy meals. be active and it will help. Sorry to ramble,I just really love it. :)

The pills for me gave me more energy. I did notice I get fuller eating less. It really doesn't promote weight loss to me

It didn't help me lose any weight at all! I did find it curbed my appetite a little, but not the what I expected at all.

Yes it curbs appetite. I didn't notice my cravings worse at all nor did they come back all at once.

If you begin by using it twice a day and only eating one meal with low calorie snacks in between you will do well. Ultimately, it doesn't matter much what you eat as long as you consume fewer calories than you burn. This has helped me lose and keep the weight off.

Sure does, as long as you modify your diet too. Nothing works if you don't eat right too.

There's only one thing that causes weight loss. It works flawlessly and it's free! The secret: eat less.

it helps with overall fitness. that is all it will help you with. no real weight loss will occur unless you change how you eat along with it. remember... 90% of what you look like is based on what you eat... tons of exercise gets you nowhere. as I have had others tell me, you can't outrun a bad diet

well some of the books i have been reading said that it would help absorb into your system better, but i have stop taking this product after 3 months and no more results. i would say i lost 5 lbs total and that was with moderate excersise and trying to not over do it on food.

Hi Lisa, I don't take it to lose weight but rather to add to my nutritional intake. I'm very limited due to food allergies and this product helps me maintain my weight. I drink my shakes in addition to my meals. I would think if you drank one shake per day with either low fat milk or a non-dairy milk it would be helpful in weight loss. :)

I agree. It contains 90 capsules but they did not work for me. If you lose weight it is probably due to the 20% reduction in consumption of food.

Indeed it will help if you combine it with good eating habits and the appropriate exercising....add protein to your daily routine...and yes....it will definitely suppress your appetite
