Brief Answer: Recommend if other methods fail to lose weight Detailed Answer: Hi, For the moment being, there is no food or beverages to be avoided while taking this. To my self-experience, the native South-East-Asians use this fruit not only for culinary purposes but as medicinal use too due to its anti-oxidant properties (called also fat-burner). Its rind (dried with tamarind taste) is often used as well as its extract is taken from the rind too (rich in HCA - hydroxycitric acid = fat burner) to prepare various supplements. I'd recommend its use for weight loss purposes only if you failed other alternatives (diet, exercise, etc.). Hope it answered your question! If you have more concerns, feel free to write me back! I'd be glad to answer you! Dr.Sejdini
