Not that you're some diet guru - I believe we're on equal wavelengths in regard to this topic. So, I am not looking for a scientific answer. Looking for an opinion - Curious though, what's your feelings on TrimSpa/Stacker II 'fat burning-appetite descreasing' products?

Well, I'm a fitness trainer, so I could give you my thoughts on that stuff.
As far as supplements that decrease or modify your body's natural reactions, are BAD. Your body is a very delicate, inctricate system that sends you messages and alerts whenever it is in need of something. For example, you put your hand in fire. Your response is to take it out, why? Because it will get burnt.
Hunger is the SAME thing. If you neglect your hunger, your body will become a fat storing MACHINE, meaning ANYTHING that can be converted to fat that you eat when you consistently avoid hunger, will be turned into fat.
That is why 3 meals is not frequent enough. 5 smaller meals however, is more natural and more instinctive for your body. Our genetic foundation came from scavengers who ate small meals when they could, throughout the day. So when you DON'T do that, your body reacts to that as if there is a shortage of food, and will STORE FAT! Make sense?
So you have to make sure you have at least 5 meals during the day, this way, you won't be hungry, and you'll lose fat.
oh -- and, I believe you should only take a multi-vitamin at first, and simply focus on changing your lifestyle - adapting to a new one, including basic diet principles and exercise. that alone will yield great results.
