Studies indicate that HCA helps people, including problematic "plateau" dieters, lose weight. Plateau dieters find weight loss especially frustrating because they do lose some weight, but reach a point at which they cannot lose more weight. In a 1995 Israeli study, HCA was gien to eight subjects who had been on a standard calorie-restricted diet for two months and had stopped losing weight. In the following two months they were given 250 mg. of HCA three times a day and continued to follow a moderate calorie-restricted diet. In the second two months, they lost between 3.3 and 17.6 more pounds (1.5 and 8 kg).
