Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 K, I take Phen free. Some people tolerate it better than others. I take 3 in the morning then 2 more before my mid morning meal then 2 more before my lunch. None after that so that I can sleep. I take them 4 days a week and take a week off from them at the end of each month. Your body will learn to adapt from them also unless you take a break from them once in a while. But I definitely notice a difference with them. ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Phen-Free. Good stuff. Gotta take it more often though. Take 2 first thing in the morning as soon as you are outta bed and able to stumble to a glass of water. Take two between your morning meals. Take two between your afternoon meals. Take two before each workout. Don't take any after 4-6pm or after your 4th meal so that you won't be caffiened out before bed. I personally don't recommend taking more than two pills at a dose because it has a tendency to make your stools really soft and loose and possible all out diarhea. I also don't recommend taking it every day for the same reason. Something like 4 days a week is reasonable and if you think you can handle it and aren't experiencing any of the afformentioned side effects, then go for 5 days a week. Cardio days are the best if you have to choose what days to take it. That's my more than 2 cents worth. - In a message dated 19-Jun-00 16:04:33 Eastern Daylight Time, konowalec@... writes: << Hey all! I was wondering who's using Phen Free in the group. I'm not sure if I'm using it properly. I've been taking 2 capsules about 1/2 before my cardio workouts and that's about it. I don't seem to notice any effects so I'm wondering if I should take more. Any thoughts? K >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried taking 2 yesterday as soon as I got up (before cardio) and 2 just before lunch. I was SO wired for the rest of the afternoon I thought I was going to explode. Crashed hard around 10pm though... I'm a fairly big guy but I dunno if I can handle 6 in a day. I don't drink coffee or anything to I'm not used to huge amounts of caffiene. > I personally don't recommend taking more than two pills at a dose because it > has a tendency to make your stools really soft and loose and possible all out > diarhea.

I'm thinking I'll probably keep taking it on cardio days only and then a maximum of 4. Any more than that and I'll be climbing the walls. Thanks so much for your help Nic!!!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2000 Report Share Posted June 24, 2000 We all know that the best way-perhaps the only way-to get the body to surrender its fat stores (something it clearly hates to do) is through exercise and reduced calorie intake. We also know, however, that the body is particularly adept at adjusting its own internal systems in the face of exercise and, particularly, reduced food intake. It does this, of course, by adjusting to the exercise (thus the need to increase intensity) and by slowing down the metabolism (which consequently slows down fat burning). It's a perfectly natural survival instinct of the body. You see, in the face of fewer calories coming in, the body would much rather slow down the metabolism than give up the fat stores. This is one of the main reasons why when you start out on a fat loss program you tend to make very good progress in the short term maybe for a few weeks or a month but you eventually reach a point where progress tapers off significantly. This is the body reacting and adjusting in a way that, unfortunately, hampers further fat reduction. This is where Phenfree can help. It kicks your metabolism in the butt and gets it going again. It also gives you needed energy for the day since where reduced calorie nutrition plan lacks. ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Check with EAS. They have advised only four days and the suggestion on not taking all day long is to preserve your ability to sleep. Many are okay if they stop mid afternoon. People differ. I am surprised the 4 day limitation is not on the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Ricky, please call EAS as I'm sure I recall a notice from Bill in MM magazine to limit to four days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Suggested use on the bottle says: As a dietary supplement, take 2 to 4 capsules 2 to 3 times daily, 30 minutes before meals and/or exercise, no more than 4 days per week. Do not exceed 12 capsules per day. After each 4-week period of use, suspend for 1 week prior to continuing.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Yes, but I'm Canadian eh and we don't get to use the same stuff as the US. Often times our ingredients and labeling is completely different. In fact, I can't even call EAS. I have to go through a distributor here in Canada to get information. I'll see if I can get their number and give them a call! And so far I don't seem to have a problem with sleeping Thanks Kit! RE: Phen Free? Check with EAS.
