I have tried a few things in the past & in ALL honesty not seen much of a difference & IF there has been, I've put it down to the placebo effect as in "Oh I lost weight this week - it MUST be those pills.. not everything else!" etc - They DO sell these in Holland & Barrett so if you want to try them, make sure you buy them from a store like Holland & Barratt - don't be tempted by the 'cheapo' companies online, because chances are they are just putting crap in a pill & selling it to you for a ridiculous price. At H&B they are £9.99 (buy one get one half price) which is reasonable just to try them out.
One thing I'd say is Google, Google, Google. Just do some quick research (which you probably already have) & see what the pros and cons are! Like I said, in my personal opinion, these things don't *really* work. The only thing that would work would be speed (yes, the drug) lol - NO I'm not a drug user (never done ANY in my life!!) but I have an addict older brother in his 40's (that I hate/don't talk to) who was huge and has gone to look ill & it's by doing all the crap he does! At the end of the day if there was a 'miracle pill' we would have all found it by now & we would all be walking around at the size we'd want! I know theses celebrities sometimes endorse products but seriously.. does anyone actually believe this is how they lose weight!? Beyonce for Pepsi Max for example, you think she actually drinks it - No! Some celebrities are also seen taking 'Xanax' pills (for anxiety) - Britney/Lindsay Lohan in the past.. & say it works for weight loss - what they don't mention is that these people (at the time) didn't eat & worked out, had all day to do it! So unfortunately you get all these people getting hold of Xanax and not realising all the dangerous side effects & not really getting ANY thinner..
That's my rant over, haha - sorry to go off topic there, I know some mango pills aren't as bad as prescribed medicine but it does annoy me that some people go to extreme lengths (EVEN I DID)! getting conned by this stuff. I do believe though that the mango/green tea/raspberry pills might help some people but they aren't for everyone
Do you have a blog or something, you could do a review for everyone else where you do one week and write exactly what you eat drink (without pills) & start a week WITH them eating exactly the same etc and see if there IS a change! That would be interesting & I'd definitely read it!
I find my weight comes off fast one week when I just eat superspeed foods like raspberries (I'll have like 2 tubs a day sometimes) & beetroot (with everything)! Try a SS week & see how that goes maybe (if you're feeling stuck & end up not trying the mango pills). Let us know & good luck xxx
