If there was a real pill out there that ate away belly fat, there would be no obesity anymore. I don't think the pills would work. That's why people still get surgery. Save your money.

Sure, you can probably take them. If you want to waste money. These pills don't work. Read the fine print. A commercial I saw the other day for Lipozene (sp?)...the fine print at the bottom of the screen said "average weight loss is 3.86lbs in 8 weeks." I think you'd be better to go back to basics, increase protein/fluids and change up your exercise routine. These pills also aren't evaluated by the FDA so who knows what you're injesting. I understand about the belly fat - I truly do. But this isn't the route to go. You can get addicted also.

I agree with the ladies that have already responded. If they was a magic pill, I would have found it. Good luck to you.

No pill can do that! Spend your money on goihg to a gym or something that will actually help you!

Cortisol tablets are designed to minimize the size of your wallet, not your stomach.
