I used the fat blaster tablets a few yrs ago too and they worked well for me. They curbed cravings, reduced appetite and gave me energy. I found they made me thirsty too so i drank alot of water and that helped keep me full between meals. Also some placebo effect I'm sure, but hey, placebo works for me! I lost 15kg in the 5 months before my wedding and kept it off until I was about 30 weeks preg with dd! Remember its not magic tablets tho, for them to work you still need to exercise and eat well.
