hi, i swore off diet pills years ago, i always got side effects, jitters, cant sleep , irritablility. i wanted to do it on my own. well to make a long story short, i think i need a little help. my cousin just lost 43 lbs on herbalife and gave me 2 pills to sample today, i am trying the ones called golds, with this plan they recommend low carbing. which i have tried and failed in the past at. but maybe with a little help i can stick with it this time. if i feel well on them today i will take the bottle to my doc to check them out.
just wanted to know if anyone has had success with this or if it didnt work for you. thank you.
Willbethin,
I know that Herbalife and Metabolife and similar pills contain ephedra/ephedrine/MaHuang-which is all names for the same thing.
It is a substance that was originally a medication for asthma, and it can have effects on some users such as stroke and rapid heart palpitations-so please read up on the internet about this substance. Some users have no problem with it, others have bad side effects, and others use it for years with no problems, and then have something happen out of the blue.
In recent years it has been labeled as a fat burner, etc. when it is the same substance in gas station mini-thins/stackers or "speed." It is also a substance your body can get accustomed to, and if you take it regularly, you will have to up your dose to get the same effects.
I personally do not recommend the taking of any diet pills, over the counter or prescription-but it is a choice you must make for yourself-so if you do-please do so informed of the risks.
Thanks,
Aphil
Hey I just started herbalife 5 days ago and I think it's great however I can't take the vitamin's that i got but I am using the tea adn cell activator so far so go down 1 1/2 lbs already so i'm hyped I sued to use metabolife but can't because of the way it makes me nervous did lose 40 libs on them til the shakes got so bad and i began to have chest pains so now it's herbalife and i have felt NO juggers or chest apins with the tea or cell activator so let me know how your doing maybe we could be support buddies since we are doing the same type of plan
thanks aphil, those things always go through my head, but sometimes i just get sick of being hungry and not being able to control my weight. i just lost 13 lbs since sept 23 but it is such a struggle, i know weight loss is not easy, and i am taking half of what the dose says to take. and i may not take them everyday, i just want something to take the edge of so i can stop binging. the weekends are really hard. i know if i could just get off a little more weight, and starting seeing results i will start to try to do it on my own. i dont like diet pills and have had really bad side effects before, so i was scared to do this, my cousin lost 43 lbs on this. i am only taking one kind, i am not taking a bunch of pills everyday. i have about 50 lbs to lose, i will not stay on these that long. i just want to lose about 20, then i will go off of them. i will take the bottle to my doctors, it says ephedra free on it. the only thing i see that is a stimulant is , on the bottle it says 84 mg of natural caffiene. in each pill. the distributer said that the caffein is from the green tea extract that is in it. i will check with my doc though.
hi angel feathers, congrats to you. as soon as i get to the docs, i will know more if i can tolerate the pills. if i stay with it, i will be your buddy and we can help each other.
I have tried to take those things but they give me heartburn. Plus the size of the pills that I didn't like. I tried to cut then in half but I still couldn't take them. So I am doing it the old fashoned way.
kmabry, thanks for your response and sharing your experience with them, i had a negative reactiont to them too, so i am doing it the old fashioned way too. i am dont looking for the easy way out.
did anyone try or is on herbalife???
