Definitely losing.
I'm a guinea pig who is willing to try anything whilst still remaining skeptical. I've bought many random supplements on a whim to see if I can at least get a good placebo effect from them. When March rolled around and I could no longer fit into any of my pants, something had to change. I have friends visiting at the end of the month, and I didn't want to have to buy a new wardrobe in order to go out with them. My goal was rapid weight loss by the end of this month. I changed up my diet, my exercise regimen, and added some supplements. Raspberry Ketones Plus+ is one of the supplements I started taking, and given the claims on the bottle, I'd say it's at least partly responsible for the weight loss I've experienced.Here's my total regimen:DIETAfter having success with a low carb paleo diet in the past, I decided to adopt that for my 1-month weight loss extravaganza, at least, mostly. Bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning, sometimes with a cup of chicken broth and some greens (kale, collards, dandelion, etc.) The other meals are some kind of meat, frequently fish if I can get it on sale or marked down, often with homemade sauerkraut, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, etc. I work a very physically demanding job, so some days I need the extra carbohydrate, so I'll have some sweet potato. If I have a particularly physical day I'll have a fruit smoothie or a pastry or some other treat that I wouldn't have most of the week. A) I need the instant energy, and B) the supplements I'm taking, according to the claims, will help mitigate the damage from any excessive carbs. If it's placebo, then so be it. Bottom line: I'm seeing results.EXERCISEI wanted to increase fat burning and weight loss without adding a whole lot of muscle. I already work in a produce department and spend 5 days a week lifting 40-80 pound cases. Previously, a lot of my exercise outside of work was also weight training. I've switched that up to try to find things that get my heart rate higher. I'm not particularly fond of running, but I started a Couch to 5k program to build up general cardio fitness. It's run/walk intervals for 30+ minutes 2-3 times a week and the gradual progression works for me. I also do 30-45 minutes of boxing a couple times a week and 100-200 kettlebell swings a couple times a week. On days that I work a full 8-hour shift I do other exercise if I feel like it, but I don't push myself. I skip workouts a lot, but still manage to get a least 2 runs and 1 boxing session and 1 kettlebell session a week. Plus, I go for an hour walk most mornings; just something low-intensity that I really enjoy doing.SUPPLEMENTSOn top of the Raspberry Ketones Plus+, I've been taking additional green tea extract, additional resveratrol, ALA, garlic extract, policosanol, vitamin D3, and a chewable multivitamin. I find that the chewable multivitamin keeps me fairly consistent with my supplementation because it's slightly sweet. I just follow it up with the rest of the capsules. Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, yeah?Here's my schedule:15 minutes before breakfast:-1 x NOW ALA-1 x D3 5000 IU-1 x LifeExtension Mega Green Tea Extract-1 x GarliCell 6,000mcg-1 x Raspberry Ketones Plus+-1 x Centrum Flavor Bust Adult Chew15 minutes before lunch:-1 x NOW Resveratrol-1 x NOW ALA-1 x LifeExtension Mega Green Tea Extract-1 x GarliCell 6,000mcg-1 x Centrum Flavor Bust Adult Chew15 minutes before dinner:-1 x NOW ALA-1 x LifeExtension Mega Green Tea Extract-1 x GarliCell 6,000mcg-1 x Centrum Flavor Bust Adult Chew-1 x Raspberry Ketones Plus+Before bed:-1 x NOW Resveratrol-1 x NOW ALA-1 x LifeExtension Mega Green Tea Extract-1 x GarliCell 6,000mcg-1 x Centrum Flavor Bust Adult Chew-1 x NOW policosanolOne day a week (Thursday for me) I take only the multivitamin and no other supplements. Will also take off every 8th week just to give my body any break that it might need.WEIGHT LOSSI started a weight loss competition on the first of the month and my official weigh-in was 255.7 pounds. Today is the 13th day of the competition and I've already lost 13.6 pounds. I've also lost 18.5 total inches in the past month while maintaining muscle mass in my biceps and calves. This is the fastest I've ever lost weight; easily double what I've accomplished before.With this cocktail of supplements, diet, and exercise, can I really say what effect Raspberry Ketones Plus+ is having on my weight loss? Well, I can't positively say what difference it would make on its own, but I'm confident that it's making a difference. It's the only supplement I take that claims to be an appetite suppressant, and there have definitely been many mornings where I've had to put my breakfast in the fridge and finish it at lunch or dinner because I simply couldn't eat any more. In fact, it curbed my appetite so much that some days I worried that I wouldn't be able to eat enough to get through my work day (but I did). In fact, the only time I ever really get a craving for a pastry or anything sweet are on days that I do a big workout and work a full shift and definitely need the extra calories.In fact, while I don't count calories in general, sometimes I get curious and will go back and add up all the meals I've had in a day. Many days I'm pushing just to eat 1500-1700 calories. Days where I break down and have some kind of sweet treat are the only days I break 2000 calories, which is crazy for a guy my size, especially considering the amount of physical activity that I do.CONCLUSIONMost of the supplements I've been using are a month supply, or just over, whereas the raspberry ketones are two months. I haven't re-ordered any of the other supplements yet, so pretty soon I'll get to see what effect the raspberry ketones have on their own. They're definitely having an effect though, and I would recommend them, cautioning only that my results are probably a combination of all the things I'm doing. You may or may not get similar results.My body composition has changed drastically enough that everyone I know has been asking how much weight I've lost. If ever you needed a boost to keep going, that's it right there.

A good start to, hopefully, a great end.
I am usually not one to believe the hype, but after having on/off weeks of working out and not working out, I decided maybe this will give me the extra boost that I need. My weight was 173-174 (Empty stomach of food, but not dehydrated) with light clothes on (shorts / t-shirt) when I first weighed myself before trying these overrated (or so I've thought) raspberry ketones. I have tried looking up a information on raspberry ketones and all I found were testimonies from people, one-hit wonders (people who have only reviewed raspberry ketone products and nothing else - maybe to increase ratings on items), and that there are actually no human studies done.So, being curious and all I thought "why the heck not?" And so I did. First night, I gotta say, was probably the worst night of my life - why? - well because I was reading a lot of side effects from people's review that stated that they started developing rashes, itchiness, etc. Thanks to all of those itchiness and scratchiness comments/stories, I started to get paranoid and thought that maybe that I am one of those unlucky ones. Surely I found a bug bite on my leg (great timing mosquitoes) I started to think that I am starting to get the side effects and then found myself feeling itchy all over at night and not being able to sleep cause I kept thinking about it.- Well so did it work or not? - Hang on I'll get there, eventually. I found out that I wasn't allergic to it, funny because I ate raspberries before and didn't find anything happening to me so why would this be the first? It has been 4 days since I have received the product (yeah yeah not even a week and already writing a review), well... I get this tingly feeling of having more energy to actually make me do more exercise (increase the amount of weight I lift, the distance I can run, etc. - well wait, I think the first two is it).Also, it does suppress my appetite quite a bit, not saying that I stopped eating (oh no, not at all), I just don't have the urges and cravings anymore. I eat what I need to eat and sometimes when the amount that I use to eat made me feel empty, the same amount (maybe even less) makes me feel really full and full of energy as well. Maybe it is just a placebo effect that I have more energy, but hey I am feeling better about my new-found energy level.- So.. what about the weight? - Well it is not all about the weight, but I guess if that is what you want then I will tell you. Within the 4 days that I tried using it (with moderate exercise - strengthening 2x a week - pull ups until I max out - which isn't a lot, Push ups til I max out and some ab workout and for cardio, maybe 4 miles in total for the entire week), I weighed myself to be around 170-171. My weight this time was on a full stomach (right after eating), completely hydrated, and weighing heavy clothing (jeans, t-shirt, jacket, keys - they add on at least an extra pound). It wasn't in my intention to weigh myself like this, but I just got home from work and decided why not?Verdict? - Well It seems to be working for me at the moment and helping achieve my goal a little faster so I think it is a good product. Surely there are many products out there that can be described as "fake" or "not pure," but I have yet to find a raspberry ketone that has FDA's approval stamp on there (maybe that doesn't mean much to some people, but hey it is something). I do like this product and hopefully keep everyone posted on my results.P.S. Do not read all the bad comments before taking this if you are about to try it out. Paranoia will get you. And I don't see or feel any side effects except for burping up some raspberry flavor after downing the pill.-No I am not paid to write a good comment on this product, well maybe I wouldn't mind getting paid, but I wouldn't lie-**Update**A little over two weeks now and I checked in again, my weight is between 168-170 depending on the clothes that I wear and with a full stomach of course. From the extra energy that I get from taking these tablets, I gotta say that I have been exercising a lot more... well... like around 50% more. I can see my muscles showing, stomach flattening a little bit, and overall just very energetic. Also, I feel better about my appearance (which can just be a placebo effect) but whatever it is, it feels good.Sorry for the short update entry, but so far for me, it is working quite well, and since it has only been a little over two weeks, I don't think I can write a good review on the full effectiveness. All I can say is that it is not a miracle pill where pounds will just instantly drop off of you when you take it. It will give you more energy to do more exercises and keep you going as well as help you burn fat a little faster, but that requires you to put in some time to do the extra heavy lifting or the extra mile.Do I recommend it? - So far so good. I have yet to find a problem with it, just don't take it before you go to bed, you will be WIDE awake. Or at least that is what happened to me.
