Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hi Amy, I used to sell Metabolife as a distributor. I thought it was pretty good stuff. It has ma huang and ephedra in it, which give you stimulus, and other stuff that makes you not hungry. They are big pills, though, and you have to take something like 6 per day - too much for me. Anyway, there have been a lot of studies done since it came out on the market that show it is not too good for you, and the ma huang, etc. can cause some heart problems. Also there are some potential side effects if you regularly take other medication. I don't recommend it - you are better off just trying Atkin's - especially since there are no portion limitations. You can eat until you feel full. If you have other questions, let me know! Warmly, ahigs@... wrote: > Anyone tried them? Let me know whether you liked them or not, when you have > time. . . .

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 : I've only taken 2 tablets per day for a couple days--got a sample bottle cheap at WalMart. Just finished a paper for products liability class on " why herbal supps should be better regulated " so I did a lot of reading about ephedra. Scary stuff--I think if I'm careful with dosage it'll be ok. .. . I noticed lots more energy which I liked, but not that " speed " like shakiness. I thought maybe it would ease the carb withdrawal and it did, but I also noticed I wasn't eating enough. Thanks for the info, tho. I appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Amy, so how are you doing? Have you gotten over the hump of the carb withdrawal? I hope you are doing better with your eating. Do you notice the Metabolife makes you less hungry? For me, though it sure made me feel thirsty. Keep up the good work!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 , Thanks for asking. I WAS over the carb withdrawal, until NY Eve. But today is a new day & a new start. My fridge & cupboards are filled with low-carb stuff so I should be right on track to drop these pounds. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
