A tropical fruit, also known as the Malabar tamarind, may block your body's ability to make fat and it puts the brakes on your appetite. It could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, too. The active ingredient in the fruit's rind, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), boosts fat burning and makes you feel less hungry. In 2009, the FDA warned against using a weight loss product that contained garcinia cambogia because some people taking it got liver problems. The product had other ingredients, too, so it's not clear that garcinia cambogia was to blame. So don't use it if you have liver problems.
