OxyElite Pro

I don't know anything about that particular supplement, but I would be nervous to start it again if you feel that different about coming off of it. Just my gut opinion.

I would stay off of it like the product suggests, even tough you took less than the recommended amount it was still in your blood stream or 8 weeks. You could try 5-htp, that will help your appetite.

Are you a professional bodybuilder? That's who that stuff was designed for. People who need to get "cut" before a competition. Not someone trying to lose weight the lazy way. I'm not trying to be mean, but you have no business taking that stuff.

OEP is an awesome product!

I don't get bad side effects from it though

Did my first cycle last fall and didn't start another until recently and during that time did not gain the weight back and it was the holiday! When I wasn't on it I didn't feel sluggish or crappy...when I did it was cause my TOM is due. Maybe check your hormones out which is something I plan on doing myself. I'm sure as we lose our hormone changes and our bodies are trying to adjust.

For me I see it more as a fat burner and helping to break up the stubborn fat. It doesn't suppress my appetite,I still eat when I need too

I only take 2 pills a day - when I did take 3 I did feel queasy so I knew it 3 was too much. The bottle says take 1 - 3 pills daily.

Please don't let anyone tell you are doing it the lazy way. I don't take OEP when doing low Impact workouts. I used it for most of my second round of Insanity (first round lost 15lbs did month 1w/ recovery week and lost 13lbs) using it now with TurboFire.

I say just wait it out and if you need a pick me up try a pre trainer workout drink. NO Xlpode taste good and doesn't make me feel queasy like Xpand. My husband drinks the xpand and I had ran out of N.O. We are also up in GNC asking questions and comparing products. LOL

I'm glad you posted this, my husband got a sample of it at GNC the other day and I was wondering if it was something I might want to try too. Sounds like you had good results (except for your 'off' time) so I think I might give it a go!

People are curious creatures, and the purpose of marketing is to get people to try new products. So its not about being lazy, its about hopefully finding solutions or fixes to our problems. Unfortunately, good things in life like losing weight come with hard work and sweat.

I've tried it and I was hoping for an easy way out, but the MOST effective way is to eat healthy and exercise. I learned this the hard way and wasting money on products that promise nothing. I don't think any of these diet pills do anything for you, maybe in the short term you may lose a few pounds of water weight, but eventually it catches up to you.

If you need extra energy - try matcha or regular green tea. It boosts your metabolism and doesn't have any harmful chemicals.

If you want to supress your appettite- you are just doing more damage to your body, because you aren't fueling it. Think about a sports car. It takes high quality fuel without any of those extra addititives because it clogs the engine. Your body is the same way. You need to fuel it to keep it running at its best. If you try putting low grade fuel and junk in the engine, your going to break down eventually.

In another post, I had posted this:

The problem with diet pills is if you supress your appetite, you're slowing down your metabolism. Also, when your glucose levels are low, you become hungry. One way to increase the glucose levels is to eat food. Diet pills increases your glucose levels artificially by stimulating the production of epinephrine (adrenaline) in your which then mobilizes your stored glucose. In the short term, you lose weight. Nevertheless, you have just artificially increased your glucose levels, so your body only thinks it is full. Overtime a couple of things begin to happen.
1) Your cells adapt to the effects of the stimulate, hence, your body does not mobilize as much glucose.
2) Also, your body begins to depend on the diet pills to keep the glucose levels stable. In other words, overtime when you take diet pills, your glucose levels are now what was normal a while back when you first start. Additionally, your glucose levels drop below normal when you are not taking the diet pills. Therefore, unless you continue to increase the does (which at a point becomes dangerous), you actually begin to become hungrier when it wears off then you were before you started.

So I used to take these pills out of curiousity and hoping to shed some weight. I wouldn't eat all day, so you'd think I'd lose weight. In the end I became more tired and gained so much weight after coming off it because I would get extremely hungry when I wasn't on the pills. They artifically turn off hunger, but really, your body needs food and nutrients to keep working. Eat small 100 calories snacks in between your meals. Trust me...stay aways from these and use that money towards helathy food/exercise dvds/etc. Anything that is a chemical is making your body work harder to get rid of it too, and taking away efforts from weight loss. The best way to keep the weight off is to work hard and exercise and eat right!

I think OxyElite is on a different level than other 'diet pills' like Dexatrim, Metabolife, etc. OxyElite is just an aid for those who already have the right mindset of eating right and exercising and just want a little boost. I don't see any harm in it.

I'm taking it! I'm on my 2nd cycle and yes u must take the break and yes you feel like POO!!!! I had the worst migraines (its from caffeine withdrawels) I find that it wasnt as bad when i would drink coffee! good luck! I LOVE OEP!!!!!!!!!

My hubbie and i were both on it and had great results me more so but because I continually worked out and stuff. We will be starting our 2nd cycle soon and i will admit I was low after I stopped taking it but it helped us. And I was still better than from when before i started taking it.

Good luck with it and btw don't let people get you upset on here...they aren't worth your good energy

wooooow...first off, yes I eat healthy. and I am by NO MEANS lazy...a lot of people take supplements-oxyelite is a good one. I honestly wanted to know from people who have taken it (which I know a lot of ppl on this site do!!)

It doesn't help or motivate anyone when you assume I am taking this to take the easy way out-I eat right, bust my *kitten* exercising and just like someone who takes anything else (incl. caffeine) its a boost-which was cleared by my dr. btw.

If you dont know about something..dont post..:) We all should be supporting each other-not calling each other lazy

I have been taking these for about 3 weeks now and I love them. They do give you so much energy.. and I also bust my *kitten* in the gym lol. Dont listen to some people out there...

I HAVE BEEN TAKING OXY ELITE PRO FOR 7 MONTHS AND ALMOST NON STOP..MAYBE AT THE BEGIGNING STOPPED FOR 2 WEEKS BUT HAVENT AFTER THAT..IS THAT BAD??

im jus curious to know do you have to take the supplement the full 8wks???

I Just recently started this pill (5 days ago) and I followed the instructions but on the 4th day, when I took one in the morning and one 6 hours later I felt very tired and not motivated at all like I did the other 3 days. On the 5 and 6th day (today) I only have taken one because I just dont think I should take two let alone 3 all day. I am in college and I have to sit in class for long hours at a time and I am not sure if that is why it is making me feel bad because I can not be up doing things. After school I try to work out atleast 30 minutes every day before work and at work I am up on my feet the whole time. I also have been counting calories and watching what I eat. I just need some input or advice... I lost 3.5 pounds the first 3 days on it but I have also been working out alot. the past two days I havent been able to work out as much... I was thinking about trying to take two pills starting this friday which would be a full week of being on it because I am starting to feel like taking one pill is not helping as much....

I understand completely what you are going through. I lost 50 lbs off this stuff for my wedding. I felt amazing. The only problem is that when I went to stop, I put on 20 lbs! I love this stuff, but man the side effects that come from the withdrawal of not taking this stuff is horrible to get over. After 7 months of being off of it (because husband and I are trying to start a family) im just now getting over the caffeine withdrawls, those are some headaches and fatigue episodes no one wants to go through. I would love to start these again, but what would I do if they stop making them? Even with a strict diet and crazy workout routine, its hard to lose any weight because my body so use to this wonder pill. Im not against them by all means but just be careful they are like crack lol. You never wanna stop taking them... if week 2 kills ya imagine what will happen when you stop. Sucks cause these pills are awesome!
