    I'm not condoning any pill use, but my girlfriend did the japanese diet pill and she lost about 30 pounds....BUT stay by a toilet because it makes you poop like crazy....not diarrhea, jsut poop in general

    People that take laxatives daily to avoid gaining weight have an actual eating disorder treated as such by doctors. How is taking a 'diet pill' that makes you leak an oily poo, or take lots of regular bowel movements not considered the same behavior?

    I didn't read all the comments, wayyy too many. Anyways, I have personally used OxyElite Pro for over a year and I have also tried Recreate. Both are by a company called prolab. I recently stopped using OEP because I found out one of the ingredients is under review and they think it was the cause of two healthy Army soldiers death. I like Recreate though and it does not have the ingredient in it. Anyway, there is no pill that is going to make you thin.

    Those soldiers used the pill incorrectly. If I took a Ferrari and crashed it into a one at 100mph would you stop buying cars? Of course not, so why apply the same logic to supplements? This is why Ephedra was banned. People used the product wrong and they died. Warning labels are put on products for a reason.

    I thought with ephedra you were supposed to measure your doseage by how many pills you could fit into your palm and mouth at one time? :P

    Next time I have something fatty (and log every bite) I don't want to risk having side effects because I made something tasty, logged it post workout, and moved on. I love life and food too much to do weird things to my body with chemicals or something approved by the FDA.

    Hah! many people would have you believe that. FYI, the highest documented amount taken at one time is 14 25mg pills. Yes the person lived....

    Tests have been run on women with 3 dosages of 25mg with no problems.

    I have the perfect solution for you and I - if we just read a bunch of the nastier posts on here we'll get nauseous, vomit, and create a calorie deficit. Then we won't need any pills. So kind of folks to help us out with our weight loss that way.

    People can be so mean :ohwell:

    Honestly, if ephedra was legal, I would probably take it.....I take energy drinks, so why not herbs for the same effect? But then again I'm not a junkie and I wouldn't use it to get a "tweaker" result....I would use it to get an extra boost so i have the energy to work out(I work three jobs)....all in all pills might work for some and not others, but on every bottle it says to use with diet and exercise....so do your part of the deaql and get mopving and eat less.
    I used to take this pill, as well as my mom and dad did, called Up Your Gas...I don't know if its still around but it really did give lots of energy.

    Some people are trying to be helpful but don't come off as being very nice in print. But even some of the ones that may seem to be, at first glance, rude, really are trying to just give it to you straight.

    Why would you come here to ask for advice on weight loss pills? This isn't a site for gimmick diet programs or pills that are the equivalent to legal speed or caopectate.

    Eat healthy, work out, drink water, lose weight. It's surprisingly affective to not destroy your body.

    Wasnt the FIRST THING SHE SAID

    Just out of curiosity, PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS THIS IS JUST A QUESTION !!!!

    I think that depends on what the person is using and whether they have a sustainable plan in place to maintain the weightloss.

    So we should all just lie and say it works wonders so that there is no negative comments? If the OP did not want honest answers (be it positive or negative) she should not ask for peoples opinions.... Diet pills don't work!

    No, don't lie. But if she's asking for experiences of persons who have tried said pills, then share the experience. If you have not tried the pills, do not post that you think they are evil. If you have tried the pills and you found them evil, share that. If they worked, shared that. The point is to answer the question in a helpful manner, not beat her over the head with morals and beliefs.



    thank you

    Her statement is false. This is what she should have said. If you're using weight loss pills to cover up an over consumption of calories, you will gain weight. However, if used in conjunction with a smart and ADAPTIVE nutrition program, the user will not rebound.

    Okay, this is pissing me off. No, I do not believe in diet pills alone, but they DO have their place with proper diet and exercise. I admire all of you out there who have bounds of energy and never get hungry. Bravo, you're better than me. I believe in supplements; some may give me a placebo effect, but hey it works. You DO need to change your lifestyle, but if you need a little help getting there I say, why not? Personally, I like hydroxycut before a workout. B12 is very helpful as well. I have seen a boost from thermogenics. They have helped me get through plateaus and slumps. Ephedrine was great till people misused it. You should ALWAYS follow the dosage and trust your gut. If it doesn't work don't use it. If it makes you feel funny don't use it. They're a tiny aid in an uphill battle that is going to be 95% you and changing your lifestyle. Don't bash people for trying everything they can to beat the fat. It's really hard and frustrating as we all know! This site has become less about support and more about self righteous *kitten*.

    Well diet and exercise got me to a certain point after I had my daughter but I still wasn't happy with my body and the fact that I was working out everyday and was plateauing. Honestly nutritional cleansing worked for me and is working for me again after baby number 2. Since it is all organic and super-foods and NOT a diet but rather a lifestyle I find it keeps me healthy and helps me build lean muscle which in turn of course helps burn more fat! It is clean eating at it's finest since especially for busy people because it is convenient and healthy!

    Dear Posters,

    MyFitnessPal strongly recommends that our users follow the calorie guidelines automatically assigned by our site, unless they are under the direct supervision of a doctor.

    Also please note

    3. No Promotion of Unsafe Weight-Loss Techniques or Eating Disorders

    a) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products will be removed without warning.

    AND

    1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.

    A question was asked and really didnt warrant a few of the responses it has received. I feel the thread has run it course and will lock to prevent any further belittling/abusive posts
