Default Foreskolin-- hype or hope???

A friend sent me this link and hopefully it copies here for all to see. I would like to hear from the learned crowd here on this lowcarb forum.

Is this for real??
Is this a good start to a life long effort to live low carb??
Or is this another low carb diet as it is touted to be a carb blocker??

Genuine input is welcome. Please try to keep comments conversational as I'm really interested in knowing if I have found a quick answer to dumping all these extra pounds and then living my low carb way of life to KEEP those unwanted pounds OFF!! lol

Looks like an advertisement to me!
True low carb doesn't require anything more than open eyes in the grocery store.

Admittedly I bailed after seeing the autoplay video and the two fat chicks turned pretty. To me that screams were gonna sell you something expensive.

Oh lol and the exit lock? Are you sure you want to leave this page? ....

Oh yes I'm even more sure now!

I remember a previous thread about forskolin here, and it was being pushed by Dr Oz at the time. Pretty much tells you it was hype. The members then agreed it was nothing but hype, and I would agree, since Dr Oz is nothing other than a snake oil saleman.

The best answer to dumping those unwanted pounds is to keep following your low carb plan.

I thought the same thing, I think we all need to slow down a bit more when reading the titles. Dang good way to get peoples attention though.
