Have any of you ever used this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxycitric_acid) before? If so what did you think? Was it successful? Etc?

More Links here (http://www.nutrasanus.com/hca.html), here (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/05/050523092407.htm) and here (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/hca.html).

Google also has tons of results (http://www.google.co.za/search?q=hydroxycitric+acid&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a).

IF you are looking for an edge AND you've done your homework and put the plan into practise; your diet and exercise is regimented and in check (for the average person, it's spotty at best) THEN maybe try it out and see what it does for you.

Otherwise, calorie management and consistent exercise is still (as always) your best result.

Personally, if I want to subside cravings midday and suppress appetite, I have an apple or a really big salad (works like a charm and zero guilt or bother).
