Not Sure Forskolin Works
I was really interested in trying Forskolin as a weight loss supplement because I had read some article about Dr. Oz promoting it as the next big break-through.  I honestly am not sure what all the hype is about, and haven't really had the results that I am looking for.<br /><br />First, I am taking Forskolin in conjunction with the Atkins diet, in hopes that it would help to speed the process.  I have lost weight, but I'm not losing any more weight (in my opinion) than what I would be losing anyway on this diet.  I have been consuming about 1800 calories per day for the last month, and have lost a total of 8 pounds, as well as taking this supplement.  I'm a 33 year old male, and was undoubtedly consuming more than 2500 calories per day, which is what made me gain weight in the first place, but at around 8 pounds for the last 4 weeks, that is what can be expected on cutting calories down to 1800 per day - which is what I have done.<br /><br />That leads me to believe that the weight loss has been purely diet related, and not because of this Forskolin supplement.<br /><br />When taking, I don't feel any noticeable effect on my metabolism, and I don't gain any more energy than what I already have.  I don't necessarily feel any appetite suppression, and I honestly can't say that I feel any effect from this product at all.<br /><br />I will say that I have noticed that my body's fat composition has improved (meaning it looks better than what I think a normal 8 pound weight loss would have provided, but that doesn't translate into more weight loss, it simply means that I think that my fat distribution has been improved.)<br /><br />I don't think that this is the magic go-to pill for weightloss that it is touted to be, unfortunately.  I did read that reports after having been taking this product for a month that indicate that it increases blood testosterone levels in men, which is why it improves body composition.  I didn't have any blood-work done to prove that one way or the other, but at the end of the day, I would say that it hasn't improved or hindered the weight loss that I have achieved from my normal low calorie diet.<br /><br />I hope you found this review helpful.  It may work for some differently than it worked for me, but since I depend on the reviews of others when purchasing products online, I wanted to provide my feedback as well.  I did receive this product at a slight discount in exchange for my honest review.
