they put caffeine in products for quick energy bursts...
Which dont get me wrong will, help, but in overall weight loss no...
It also dehydrates you, which will burn that water weight right off, soo people who take these diet pills and no nothing, think "Hey i lost 5-8 lbs in a week this **** work" meanwhile there just dehydrating themselves....

Caffeine causes blood sugar to spike
Perhaps Dr. Atkins had a point when he said no caffeine and no diet sodas. Recently in a study of coffee drinkers and people who have diabetes, Duke University psychologist James Lane found that caffeine boosted blood sugar levels. A cutting-edge glucose monitor was embedded beneath stomach skin, which allowed them to monitor the subjects more closely.
All these subjects normally drank two or more cups of coffee a day. They were given capsules of caffeine, the equivalent of four cups of coffee. The results were that blood sugar was raised and especially after meals, by about 25 % after dinner, for instance.
It was unclear why caffeine increases glucose levels. Dr. Lane suggested that adrenalin and other stress hormones released upon drinking coffee could perhaps stimulate glucose secretion in the liver.
