I have always been skeptical if Power Pops actually help me burn fat (as they claim to do), but the reason why I think they helped me to lose a few pounds and now help me maintain my weight is because they taste so great and take FOREVER to finish. One Power Pop will easily last you for a half hour. If I'm craving a snack (but not really that hungry), I can simply have a Power Pop instead. They also encourage you to drink one bottle of water down with every Power Pop so they help you to get your daily water quota in, too! (You should be drinking, at minimum, 8 glass a day. Are you?!?) As an added bonus, Power Pops also came in really handy when I quit smoking...I'm not much for chewing gum and these were great to occupy my mouth to help surpass cravings.

Why you SHOULD buy Power Pops: If you are looking for a fun way to help curb mindless snacking, then give them a try. They used to be really expensive (like $30 for a package of 30) but are now around $20. The price is worth it to me because that's less than $1 a Power Pop and I eat them as snacks. Less than $1 for a snack is pretty affordable.

Why you SHOULDN'T buy Power Pops: Power Pops are NOT a miracle diet. If you are going to sit on your butt all day and constantly eat fast food, then I wouldn't suggest buying these, or buying any other supplements for that matter. The only way to truly lose weight is through a healthy diet and excercise. You've heard that a million times and it is the absolute truth. Power Pops aren't going to help you lose any weight unless you make some other necessary changes too.

To sum it up, I love Power Pops. They are one of my favorite snacks and they taste really great. My favorite flavor is probably Pink Lemonade, but they are all pretty good. They come in a bunch of different flavors and I'm definitely convinced that they helped me lose a little bit of weight (by cutting calories) when I first started using them and are now helping me to maintain my weight that was loss through diet and excercise.
