Has anybody tried this with a weight training program? The low carbs and "weight loss" rather than fat loss concerns me.

Yes, and I think it works. It is a standard low carb, high protein menu. It you stick with it and couple it with a solid weight training program, you will see results.

I think that like any supplement that isn't regulated by the FDA, you are taking your chances with the outcome. If it hasn't worked for you...it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't work for anyone. Unless you are skinny because you have a health issue, you may have to train yourself to exercise less and eat more.

Hi Cassie - sorry to say I lost nothing :0( I was hoping it would help - I exercise weekly and watch my calorie intake, so I was very disapointed. Even 10 lbs. would have been nice :0(

No, the product does not help you lose fat. I use it in conjunction to my regular diet which is mostly vegetarian and thus low on protein intake when i work out.The reason it mentions lean is because it contains very little fat and a scoop of it can be used to replace a meal and contain calorie intake.

Lorie...If you Google Factor 4 you will find a plethora of information including the ingredients. You can also contact the manufacturer directly and ask the question. All that being said, I returned all my two month supply shortly after purchasing it. The recommended program and the drink are nothing more than using a hyped whey drink and very significant calorie reduction. I have done better by increasing my exercise routine and using a balanced diet. Anyone can lose weight rapidly--it's what you keep off that counts.

Hi Alyssa, taking Garcinia Cambogia combined with regular workouts has proven effective for me in shedding excess weight. Hope this helps! :)

Personally, I use it in fruit smoothies for it's protein impact, which helps control hunger and sugar cravings. I don't believe this product is like a standard commercial weight program, it's solely a protein supplement to add to foods. I've also used it in oatmeal and other smooth foods to boost my protein intake. Hope this helps.

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem butI was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

K.D. Kirkpatrick: I have probably read some of the same articles you have regarding garcinia cambogia without calcium. It may work or it may not. I had ordered my garcinia cambogia with calcium before I read those articles. However, so far I have had positive results with the garcinia cambogia with calcium I am taking. Great carb controller. Have little to no desire for carbs.

It seems to be a fine source of plant-derived protein. "Belly fat" is really only addressed by change in whole-body composition (as reflected in ratio of lean body mass to body fat or as % body fat). This is accomplished with a balanced lifestyle routine of sensible nutrition, load-bearing resistance training, and aerobic/interval cardio training. If less calories are eaten than are burned, weight loss will, in every case, occur. Loss of more body weight than a pound or two per week will usually result in loss of more muscle (& even bone!) than fat. Unwise. Counterproductive. If no more than a pound or two is lost each week, exercise is appropriate, and adequate protein is consumed (probably less than some body builders think is needed), then, over a period of months (yes, months-or, for some people with lots of room for improvement, even a few years), noticeable physique changes can be expected. No food, supplement, product, exercise, or technique (short of liposuction) will target a specific body area for fat reduction. Claims abound, but there is no silver bullet. Ty W's point (just adding more calories will just add more body weight) is important. This product would only be of use to you if you we're using it within a whole nutritional plan appropriately arranged to facilitate whatever body composition goals you establish. However, Ty W., this product, while calorie dense, contains no whey. Soy protein has no Cholesterol, which is a concern for some people, is not dairy based like whey protein (could be an allergy issue for some folks), and satisfies various ethical concerns for many vegans. This product has been satisfactory for me and for my wife. No complaints.

I didn't notice weight loss but I wasn't watching calories. You might try live strong, it will count your calories, you can figure out how many you need and it counts your step activity too. It helped me start losing.

I am still using the old version. I have lost 5.5 pounds the first 10 days. I eat normally but cut out processed carbs (bread cereals etc). Mostly protein fruit & vegetables nuts. I exercise 30mins a day 5 days. So i am not putting a huge effort in to it , but am still loosing on the old formula .

I don't believe there are any carbs in it but if there is it is a very small amount . Train hard and be safe

Hi Pam. I noticed the same thing too!! Most of the the reviewers seem overly excited for this product and willing to give 5 stars. They're all very similarly written as well. All I can say is it did not work for me. A customer service rep told me that it will mostly work for someone who is trying to lose at least 20+ pounds. I was trying to lose inches of fat, NOT total body weight, but did not lose an ounce of fat, because my inches are still the same. The customer service is great and very helpful. All I can say give this product a try. If it doesn't work, just call customer service and they will offer other products that might help or refund your money. Hope this helps you.

Well, I've tried both but for me neither 1 has worked. Now it may work for you, but not for me. I eat right, even eat less, and exercised, walking mostly. Like I said it may work for you, but I wouldn't recommend either 1.
