Asset Capsules

Ok well I'm done. I thought that by naming the thread "asset capsules" and specifying my understanding of how pills are not necessarily the answer, I would recieve input from people who had some experience with the product, ONLY because I was curious about it and had heard about its success from friends. But I guess people are just looking for ways to shoot you down and be judgemental about the choices you make. I'm sure these are the same people who think that eating poptarts will kill you.

FYI, as I've said in the OP, I started out weighing 210lbs, and used Alli (as suggested by a doctor) and lost much of my weight that way. I only used it for a few months, but the weight loss that it gave me motivated me to do the rest myself. So I am of a differing opinion that pills and supplements are the devil.

Thank you everyone for your lovely input, I'll be sure not to make anymore threads unless they're about eating lentils and going to the gym every day.

Sorry, I thought that I stated in the topic "HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ASSET?" And also, "Please don't give me **** about not needing a "quick fix."

Also, if you read my ticker, you will see that I do in fact know how to lose weight, I'm simply asking for information and reviews on this product because it intrigues me. Trust me lady, I probably know more about eating healthy than you do. Thanks

NEXT PLEASE

Not sure who you were referring to however being rude and having that attitude doesn't get you anywhere. You post on a public forum expect to hear from both sides.. whether it's what you want to hear or not.

Clearly what you are doing has been working... so why change it?

I posted the topic wanting to hear from people who had heard about this product or have tried it, not someone who wanted to teach me a lesson about eating more protein and drinking more water. You know nothing about Asset, and yet for some reason you feel the need to comment on a thread about it. I don't appreciate condescending comments.

And yes, what I did was working out fine, however I've been stuck in a rut lately and was looking for something to give me a boost

I'm not sure what part of my comment was condescending. I was simply making a suggestion on what else you could try. Never once did I call it a quick fix. I just simply gave alternate ideas and stated a question... so relax.

You really need to not think you know everything which is how what you have written makes you sound. You know nothing about what I know about the pill nor do you know what I know about healthy eating. Asset is basically just a fiber pill in a multi-level marketing company. It claims to increase your metabolism which a pill can't do (unless it is packed full of caffeine and even than it only increases metabolism a small small amount). The main ingredient in these is cellulose... which is a form of fiber that is of really no value to the body. It is processed and not something that I personally would want to put in my body (cellulose is used in paper, cardboard and wallpaper paste). These pills also claim to "detox to remove fat" which can't be done. It is a version of PGX that has been on the market for a while now. I was suggesting more protein, fiber and water as appetite surpressants as they will work probably better than the pill while providing you with more nutrients. Wanna tell me again I know nothing?

You're free to do what you want and put into your body what you want to. When you post on a public forum be prepared to hear opinions and advice from any sides of the issue. I do know what Asset is and I definately know how to eat healthy... so seriously, stop assuming you know everything and jumping to conclusions.

I really don't appreciate the attitude you gave and how rude you seem you can be. Please, learn how to be respectful.

I'm glad you took the time to thoroughly research Asset after I mentioned that you probably know nothing about it. You sure proved me wrong! And how many people do you know that have tried it? Are you a doctor? Why don't you tell me about your experience with it! I never said I decided to take it, I only wanted more information on it. And yes, you were being condescending by telling me that perhaps I should eat protein, fiber and water. THANKS! I had no idea!!!

While I have nothing valuable to contribute to this thread at this time, I'm very interested in learning more about the topic at hand and needed a convenient way to "bookmark" this page to read later. I believe I have certain knowledge of and experience with this topic such that I expect that I may be able to provide a meaningful contribution to the discussion in the future. This post, while admittedly contributing nothing to the thread, is my way of accomplishing this.

(On any other website forum (that did not have an ability to track posts such as MFP), I would just post "in", perhaps accompanied by a witty observation about my expectations for the post based on my reading of only OP and perhaps some of page one. However, I have been disciplined for this type of post before. Therefore, I am providing this explanation to avoid any misunderstanding of my intentions in making this post.)

But seriously, I'm mostly just "in" to see where this goes from here.
