Diet Pills: OxyElite Pro

If the only reason that you can't lose the last few pounds is that you're overeating, you need to use your willpower and stop overeating. There's a very simple solution here that doesn't require pills.

Look at her join date. She's lost 62 pounds in as many days. Do you really think she has a "willpower" problem?

I took and it worked for me... You have to read the bottle and do what it says.... Only one pill at first because one pill was like crack to me.. it curbed my appetite and gave me the energy boost I needed. I would buy it again. Whoever paid 70$ for it got jipped! I only paid 45... The downfall I seen was sometimes I felt sick to my stomach
As soon as you take the pill drink toooooooons of water. You can't over eat and expect the pill to work though...

Ive taken it before and love it! The first time i took it i lose 45 lbs with no exercise just increased my water intake, and im taking it again 3 years later and i still love it!!!

So in other words you didn't figure out how to eat right and that's why your back?

Um eat right and exercise? Good old fashion method that 99.9% on here have committed to. Once you control your mind, you will gain control over your body!

Drink more water to fill the void.

I'm just guessing here, but if you "have to drink tooonnnnnsss of water" when you take a pill like this, that is why you aren't eating as much. The water is filling you up.

Furthermore, you are already at a healthy weight. If you don't like how your body looks, concentrate on lifting weights and toning/sculpting your muscles.

There was a pretty comprehensive study a few years back regarding diet pills and their efficacy, and it was shown not that none of the major diet pills were really effective at all. I used to take them back in my 20s and they seemed to work, but I am sure it was just the adderall in all reality :x

OxyElite pro is good, but only for a short time, and only if you actually work hard, and keep a healthy diet.

Taking it to stop eating, or hoping it'll make you eat healthy are going to end in failure. It's more of an additive for when you're already on the right track, to just get a little extra boost. Expecting any more than that will end in you upset.

Hi everyone, I am trying to lose my last few pounds of fat and gain muscle through the Insanity program and a healthy diet. I have been having a really hard time with overeating lately, and it's really preventing me from losing weight. I'm actually gaining weight, and attempts to stop eating have failed.

I saw this diet pill and though I have never been a fan of diet pills or trying unnatural methods of losing weight, I could really use something to help me at this point. Has anyone taken OxyElite Pro and had success? Any downsides to the product? Or has anyone taken diet pills in general and had a good/bad experience?

While I am not of the school of thought that blanket statements should apply to anything i.e. "diet pills are bad" so instead look at the ingredients of the pill and see what benefits, or harm you can get from it.

First it is important to realize they are being investigated for being harmful http://www.schmidtandclark.com/oxyelite-pro

Second let's look at the ingredients: Which to their benefit is really small..


It says it suppresses appetite, if you research the ingredients none of them are appetite suppression except caffeine. Major ingredient is caffeine, and we all know what that is so there is nothing new to add here.

When doing research it is important to not use their website or a website that sells the pill as they will of course make it sound wonderful!

Also the others listed have been proven to have very little effect on weight loss

and finally the FDA has banned the use of dimethylamylamine in the pill, which was likely the most effective ingridient, and dangerous. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm302167.htm

Ok question for those of you that actually understand these sorts of things - Oxy Elite Pro is marketed as a FAT BURNER not a diet pill per se - I think it may be useful prior to workouts. Isn't there a difference btw a "fat burner" and a "diet pill"?

From their website:

.... set out to develop a stimulant based "Super Thermogenic™" that actually burns the right kind of fat...as in, the subcutaneous fat that covers your muscles and not the visceral fat that protects your organs. This is a important distinction to make when selecting ingredients, as many weight loss formulas contain ingredients that target the wrong kind of fat (visceral).

But not OxyELITE Pro. This formula specifically targets the subcutaneous fat that covers your muscles. And they accomplished this by identifying a very unique extract that actually turns off the very receptor that prevents your body from releasing stored, subcutaneous fat in the first place!

I take 1/2 one prior to workouts to give me energy and hopefully encourage thermogenesis!

If she's had enough willpower to eat less and exercise to lose 62 pounds, then she should be able to lose the last few without resorting to pills.

I agree with this too. You can take it and still eat badly or not exercise and it's not really going to give you any results. But it can be helpful if you're already on the right track and want a boost!

I'd say that if she has a willpower problem, it's a problem of TOO MUCH willpower! Like the kind of willpower to force yourself to starve when you are very hungry for long periods of time.

I'm anxiously waiting for her to come back and explain how she lost 60lbs in 60 days with an "overeating problem."

I think you've misread her profile, she lost the weight in the past before joining MFP...unless I'm the one misreading it in which case you'd be right.

Your ticker doesn't mean that you only are recording your weight loss since joining. I have my ticker showing my heaviest weight, even though I didn't start here till probably 10 pounds down from my heaviest.
