Ah I see, nice one! Yeah I've decided to try intermittent fasting which is another fat burning method! Different strokes for different folks though :) COngratulations on your weight loss!

Will do! Thank you :)

...and I most definitely will! Thanks for the site names.

Yep sounds about right to me! But I'm wondering how I can stick to a high protein, low carb diet and still take in the amount of calories that I need for the day...any advice? What did you diet consist of?

Thanks for all the advice/opinions/inputs everyone, I'll make sure to check out these Stronglifts and Starting Strength programs, as they seem to be fairly popular. Cheers :)

Ah it's great that I decide to ask people AFTER buying them. *facepalm* Thanks for the opinion and my wallet says "Nice try".

Ha I won't ask for details...I've heard what this stuff can do to digestive systems. Not. Pretty. Thanks for the reply :)

No need for the sass, Captain Sassypants. I'd appreciate all the advice I can get my hands on, regardless of whether someone seems to be plugging a certain product or not.

Woah...yeah first hand experience is what I'm looking for and stuff like this makes me say "**** that". Thanks for the input and hope you and your man are fully recovered.

Oh right cool! Could vary from supplement to supplement however...as far as I know 300mg of caffeine a day is the "safe maximum", if such a thing exists. However if the pills I have contain the same amount of caffeine, and they recommend to reach a goal of 4 pills per day, I've already exceeded the amount of caffeine that…

Yep I take protein powder regularly for weight lifting, but it doesn't really have any effect on energy whatsoever ha Purely for regeneration :) Yeah P90x seems very interesting...but as far as I can see it's a ridiculous amount of money to pay for some guy telling you to do push ups in your own house haha But hey, this is…

Hmm not really considering a majority of people's inability to lose weight in purely psychological and due to complete laziness. I hear ya though, the "magic pill" theory's ringing in my ears. Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure the exact amount of caffeine that these things contain though :/ I don't usually have any trouble with energy but a bit more wouldn't go astray ha They've apparently had some serious side-effects on people who hadn't noticed a huge change in their health though which is worrying. Thanks for your input :)

Ah I see, never knew they were an anti-diuretic! Yeah the appetite supression's definitely another pull factor...I kind of want to try intermittent fasting too, but I'm stuck between the two. Thanks for the reply :)

Well hey, Jack wouldn't have gotten up to the sky without a few magic beans along the way. I'm using them as an aid to an already tedious workout, not just taking them and stuffing my face watching daytime TV. If I wanted to get to my goal without the hard work, I'd just get liposuction. (That's hypothetical seeing as I'm…

Yeah I get you...it wasn't so much the ingredients than the side effects that's freaking me out. I knew when I was buying them that they're borderline illegal and basically just a media-hyped, thinly veiled amphetamine. I might give them a go for a week or so or I might get a refund...the latter's kind of looking more…

Yeah plateau seems to be the word of the day lately cos it's happening to me too...mhmm they'll definitely pump you up and give you extra energy for a harder workout, but terms like "palpatations" "heart attack" "blood pressure" "stroke"...when they're floating around every forum I go to, the whole extra energy kind of…

Ha yep I knew all that when I was buying them, but the illusion of short term satisfaction is a terrible dimmer of logic :P Don't worry you're not the bearer of bad news, more the bringer of rationality. I'm having second thoughts about them anyway, the more research I do regarding them, the more the costs seem to outweigh…

Yeah I get where you're coming from about the over the counter thing, but it's not like I'm just popping these pills then watching TV all day ha Thanks for the feedback :)

Yeah I'd consider myself ripped off. But hey, ain't nothin' for free in this world. Thanks for the reply.
