They raise your heart rate a little bit. But mostly suppress hunger and impulse-eating. For some they can cause weight loss. But they mostly stabilize your diet by making it easier to follow a schedule.

I have been taking them for 2 years and those have been the years I actually gained weight. But I can see how they could make loosing weight easier too.
