Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Hi, Has anyone ever used Phen Free, and if so did it work for you. Currently I am taking BFL CLA and did not know if I would benefit from taking the Phen Free or if that would be double dosing. I don't want to over do the supplement thing but feel like I might need some help speeding up the metabolism. TIA for any help or advice.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I don't think that EAS makes Phen Free anymore. Even if you can find some, I wouldn't recommend it. It made me crazy(er). http://skwigg.tripod.com/wow/id26.html CLA is a healthy fat. It's very different from a stimulant fat burner so you wouldn't be double dosing if you took it with something else. I don't recommend stimulants though. Honestly, your eating and training intensity are what will make all the difference in the world. The magic fat burning pills have a really minimal impact on your metabolism and overall success. Phen Free Hi, Has anyone ever used Phen Free, and if so did it work for you.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 My experience with PhenFree was not good... not good... http://skwigg.tripod.com/wow/id26.html Some people take it successfully but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you want added energy, plain old caffeine has a lot fewer side effects. Phen Free Someone had mentioned something called Phen Free for energy. What exactly is that? Is it a supplement that is recommended in BFL? I wonder because I've been considering taking something for added energy, but I'm nervous about it. I've never taken supplements or any kind of " drugs " (except tylenol) Anyone have thoughts on energy type supplements? K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Phenfree was an nonephedra thermogenic made by EAS supplements which they dont make anymore. They have a new line of products which you can read about here: http://www.eas.com/series_sub_thermo.asp You can compare ingredients of many thermogenic products here: http://www13.netrition.com/fatloss.html They arent for everyone - its an individual thing and certainly not necessary to get anykind of results (they DONT melt off bodyfat you have to WORK to get results)- but most people I know that use them like them for giving them an energy boost for working out (its the caffeine in them). <<joni>> *a diamond is a piece of coal that stuck to the job* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 That was probably me. I used to chat socially with the MD of EAS over here. A few months before I started the challenge I said to him " if my primary goal is fat loss, what supplements would you suggest I take? " . He said if I had to take anything at all, he'd suggest phen-free, though if I waited for a week or so the new one (which is called something like thermo-something-or-other) would come out on the market and that would be better, as it was slower releasing. Funnily enough he did not think I needed to take a heap of anything else, he said for regular old fat loss my body would do it fine on it's own, but if I wanted to do something to speed it up, then that would be what he'd suggest. So I went to the shop and found they were half price (due to this new product about to come out). So I went and bought 3 darn bottles. *sigh* I just can't resist a bargain, shoot me. And I can't bear to waste it, even at half price it wasn't cheap. So I take one capsule a day, 4 days of the week. Which is a lot less than they suggest, but I'm very sensitive to caffeiene. In fact, before I bought them, my friend gave me some of hers to try. She told me she takes 4 in the morning with her morning coffee. (let me say here, that is NOT what the bottle says). She gave them to me in a plain little container, so I didn't have a label to read. I thought to myself that I would only take half that, with no coffe. Because well, I don't drink coffee. That meant I would be getting less than half of what she has. So I did, and I did NOT like the way it made me feel. My eyeballs were darting all over the place, I could feel my heart speed up, and I literally spent 5 hours in the kitchen cleaning. No, I'm not exaggerating, I went hammer and tongs for five freakin' hours cleaning. I pulled out the stove and fridge, scrubbed all the walls, mopped the ceiling. Sheesh! I know, I'm a silly girl for not getting hold of the instructions before taking them. I've learnt my lesson :-\ So I'm still taking them while I'm on challenge, and they help me a LOT with a bit of oomph some mornings. But the days I don't, I sometimes get headaches. I had my very first migraine last week, and I think it was becuase of the caffiene withdrawl. I now have more sympathy for migraine sufferers, it was horrible. It's worth pointing out here that I don't drink coca-cola, and have never had anything with any kind of caffeiene in it. I don't think I would be an average example. in NZ C1W4D7 > Someone had mentioned something called Phen Free for energy. What > exactly is that? Is it a supplement that is recommended in BFL?

Sheesh!>>> That made me laugh SO hard! I did the same thing! I *NEVER* clean but after the first dose of PhenFree I couldn't control myself. I was at it for hours. Nobody could believe what was happening! The phone lines were burning up that day. (She's doing WHAT? She's cleaning? Are you sure?) Half of my friends were horrified and the other half wanted to know where they could get some. Re: Phen Free That was probably me. I used to chat socially with the MD of EAS over here.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Be aware tho (dont know if this pertains to you or not) that if you plan to use up your supply of Phenfree (besides the usual caffeine in it)it also contains St s Wort which interfers with birth control pills effectivenes. I think thats the primary reason EAS took it off the market and reformulated their new thermogenics without the St s Wort in it - when women found this out they dropped Phenfree like a hot potato ;-) <<joni>> *know thy supplement ingredients before you buy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
