Be careful with these as you may be losing just as much muscle mass as fat. Which in turn will affect the amount of calories you burn at rest, or your Basal Metabolic Rate. More muscle = more calories you burn at rest. Which is why people could blow back up to fatter than before when/if you get off. Of course if you stay on it forever, that's another story.
IMO the only way to tell if you are losing fat is to get a Dexa scan before/during/after taking it to see if you're actually losing the majority fat or muscle. Peter describes it pretty well in the video above. And incorporate plenty of strength training.
