You could possibly have a bad side effect from the stimulants in the pill, which are usually the causes of side effects in all diet pills including higher blood pressure and in severe cases heart attacks and stroke.

I doubt it'd help you lose even 15-20 lbs but it might have a placebo effect on you, and help you that way, who knows.

I found this:

What does each capsule of EPH200 contain?

I just got an email stateing that I should receive mine no later than the seventh of april. I'll let you all know if it works!

Mrs Keltsy,
How did you order the product (money order or credit card) because I am having the same problem getting my order, it has been over three months since I placed my first order. I sent them a money order. After not recieving my product in months, I thought that maybe something had happend to it with the mail so I cancelled the money order bought another money order and sent it to them. Well it has been about 6 weeks since I sent the second money order and I have not recieved the product. I have called them so many times and they keep telling me that they do not have my order in there system and that I should have paid by credit card. In the add it state's that they accept credit cards or you can mail a check or money order. They have also told me that they will have a manager call me back about 20 times and I have not recieved a call from the Manager. I have checked the address and it is correct. I found out about EPH200 in an add in the magazine ( US WEEKLY) and the address that they gave to send in order's was in San Fransisco,(Tom Lee Health Center Dept. EPH019, 268 Bush St. #968) I found out that it is not a company building or an office it is a Mailboxes Etc. I called there and found out that Tom Lee Health Center just rent's a mailbox. They would not tell me if Tom Lee Health Center checked there mailbox daily, weekly, monthly or anytime. I don't know what else to do. I am just getting tired of waiting. It seems like they would want the business but who knows. Is there anyone else out there that has sent a check or money order to this address and not recieved there product???

Thanks,
Leah

These pills have a lot of stimulants and are loaded with caffeine. IMO yes there are health risks concerned with taking them. And with all the "magic pills" out there if any of them actually worked the makers would be instantly rich and very famous LOL. Also, I am hearing more and more stories from people who ordered them and never received them. IMO that is probably a blessing. But good luck.

I did order it, and received it within 2 weeks of placing my order. So far, I have been taking it for a week and no results or side-effects. I have been watching what I eat (around 1100 cal a day). I needed an extra boost for my upcoming vacation and thought this would help..... Well at least I learned my lesson

hey everyone, i just got this diet in the mail the other day i started taking them today, ill let all of u know how it works out..." im not hoping for anything cuz nothing really works, ive tryed almost everything lost a lil but not much... ill keep u updated on this pill....

i ordered the pills and got mine but i payed wit my visa...i got it yesterday only took 2 weeks for mine to come

Has Anyone Gotten Any Results From These Pills Yet??

This REALLY does not surprise me...which is why I generally avoid buying from any merchant (not that I would buy this stuff anyway...from everything I've read about it - and there is more and more out there about this on the 'net, a LOT of people with similar complaints) that appears to be 'fly by night' like this one. I do NOT use checks or money orders to purchase with - precisely because of this type of situation. If you purchased your money order from the US Postal Service or your bank you might have SOME protection - but basically when you use your Visa card - the merchant KNOWS if they do not send the product then you can call the bank that issued your Visa card and file a chargeback against them which costs them $$. You can't do that with checks or money orders - maybe take them to small claims but what a PITA...besides by the time you get to court or whatever, the company will probably have gone out of business anyway as soon as word gets around what a worthless, ordinary piece of crap their product is. (Of course, more than likely they'll just rename their company, repackage their pills and sell them to the SAME PEOPLE THEY SOLD THEM TO IN THE FIRST PLACE... it's a vicious circle...)

Besides, the ingredients in these pills are nothing special and nothing different from what is in just about every other diet pill out there. You could go to GNC or MuscleMax or even Walmart and Target and get an identical pill with the same ingredients.

It all comes down to marketing - you have to remember that a lot of these fly by night companies make sure to post positive messages about their products at various forums - it's become pretty easy for us mods to be able to spot 'em at this point because the diet pill pushers try that here at 3FC as well, trust me. It's free advertising for them. They know that there are many desparate people willing to try ANYTHING that advertises itself as an EASY way to lose weight.

Here at 3FC - we'll keep telling you till we are blue in the face what we have learned over time and that is there is NO MAGIC PILL, NO MAGIC FORMULA other than 'eating less and moving more' to lose weight...lifestyle changes...that's what does it, not these phony-*** pills.

I wanted to comment re Nelie's point that the stimulants in most of these kinds of pills carry a major whammy of danger for anyone with a known or UNDETECTED (e.g., not everyone knows everything that is goin' on in their body so why take a chance) cardio problem ... there are people who should not even be drinking coffee or tea, even though they may not be diagnosed yet, and they are plunkin' down hard earned cash for these stimulants on the off chance it'll help 'em lose weight, not even knowing what possible side effects may be lurkin' down the road, even if they aren't feelin' anything now ... look at how long ephedra was killin' folks before a halt was called (ephedra is still out there, btw, and it is present in ingredients that have a different name and is still in some pills).

What is harder, eating satisfying nutritious meals but limiting junk foods and excess calories and exercising ... or suffering scary health symptoms while running the risk (maybe small, but there) of having a fatal reaction to some mystery pill we pay our hard-earned money for so that some yahoo can get rich and go live in the south of France (or somewhere )!????

If unable to lose weight by healthy changes to diet and activity, or if just madly lusting for medication to spend money on, we need to consult a reputable physician to see if the handful of possibly safe prescription weight loss drugs COULD be right for us or needed ... or even if there's a reason why we should NOT take 'em ... or in some instances, there are surgical procedures that can help, under the right circumstances and for the right reasons and with medical approval ... these options take more time and dedication, but at least they give someone with a hidden medical condition a fighting chance not to end up in a coffin.

Life is fun (most of the time). It's more fun in a healthy body but shoving unknown substances down our throats in a misguided effort to get that healthy body is risking too much.

There's no magic pill ... save your money and buy some dumbbells and a pair of walkin' shoes.

Sorry, ranting.

I don't mean to be offensive, but I've noticed that this dynamic goes on and on in these "have-ye-tried-the-latest-magickal-pill-now-for-sale-on-ebay- at-reduced-prices-and-marked-down-at-Osco's-which-I-bet- won't-kill-me-'cause-I've-been-takin'-it-for-a-week-and-feel-fine" threads!

So I am adding my 1.5 cents again.

LOL I love it! VERY well said!!!!

Im not sure about everyone on here but i am sick of working out and trying to watch what i eat and not losing a pound or an inch. it is extremly frustraiting. so if this does work for anyone this EPH 200 not just "well a friend of mine said" i would like to at least try it. I have been working out and watching what i eat for quite some time now and nothing i have actually gained five punds and havent lost an inch anywere.

Well I am not going to ALLOW myself to get sick of working out and eating right! I hate the plateaus too and in fact an IN one... but I know something must be happening because I am walking and walking, and doing exercises and eating right! And I FEEL so much better than before and am gaining strength! I also am cooking wonderful crockpot meals on weekends so I have yummy meals and something great to come home to every night with just a bit of effort at preparing a few veggies!

PookaUPT I sure don't mean to "negate" your discouragement! Wow that would certainly be frustrating. Are you doing your plan under medical supervision? Perhaps that would help and he/she could help you find a plan that would work better for you. You weren't very specific as to what you are doing so hard to say. But it is always good to get some professional advice. I encourage you to do that if you are not already. Hang in there!!!! You MUST be getting healthier even if it doesn't show!!!

My comment for pookaUPT and anyone else who feels they are "sick and tired" of trying to eat right and exercise is the following:
Weight loss and being healthy in general relies on eating well and exercising. We have the highest rates of heart disease ever because of our poor habits. Obesity continues to grow because of our poor habits. It may get tiring if we aren't used to it or if we are too harsh with ourselves. If you go on a heavily restricted diet or an extreme exercise plan, you may feel that you are burning out. Try changing your diet slowly and incorporating exercise into your every day lifestyle. Continue building on your improved eating plan and exercise plan and it will come.

Just trying a pill to see if it works doesn't make much sense when it seems that no pill in history has safely helped someone lose weight and keep it off. You risk losing your money and hopes on a dream that will not happen through a pill. You may also lose more than that including your life depending on your specific health risks.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some day there is a drug of some sort that will safely help people lose weight. I don't expect it to come from some mail order company or some back alley. I imagine it would come from the tons of research that is being done in professional scientific labs. I would also want it to be thoroughly tested before it is introduced to the community to make sure that it is safe. If it happens, it will be shouted from the rooftops, on the news and prescribed by every doctor with an overweight patient. There would be solid proof that it works and it would be have very measurable results. This hasn't happened as of yet.

Overall, I think we as a society need to suffer a little for our lifestyle. Eating junk, overeating and underexercising has come at a price. It means we have more health issues and more obesity than ever. We do need to change our lifestyle a bit to make it healthier or else we will continue to suffer. I don't mean this to criticize anyone and I come from the point of view of someone who believes genetics plays a big part in obesity but our lifestyle plays an even bigger part. We would like a quick fix, it would be nice to have a quick fix but there is no quick fix. Exercise and eating well are the only proven remedies to weight gain.

Nelie, you consistently write the most thoughtful, meaningful posts. Thanks so much for your insights. You are a blessing!
