Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hey Kit, Yes, I've used ephedra, actually it was ok to use it in last years contest. I have to admit that I discovered it about 5 years ago. I've found it to be a great fat burner, but the reason it burns fat is that it gives you twice the energy when you train. When I used it I would take it 30-45 minutes prior to working out. WOW, WHAT A RUSH! But go easy everyone, it gives you the shakes, like drinking 10 cups of coffee!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hey Kit, Forgot to give you an update on my back. Well, I am currently undergoing physical therapy and have 3 more weeks to go, they had me on some really strong pain pills for a few weeks, knocked me for a loop, called Oxycontin. Too strong, I was a zombie. During this whole time though all I've thought about is getting back to that awesome energy level that BFL gives me. I have felt that my body is totally out of control right now and have to say it gives me a greater appreciation for BFL. Count on me coming back stronger than ever soon. Damn I miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lurking in the shadows, best of luck to everyone! aka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 LOL sounds like a command for a high strung dog. LOL Hurry up and heel! Woof woof, woof woof woof, (Translated= YES MA'AM) lolol I'm gonna try to make it over to Bob's Nutrition here in Orlando to see Porter! I can't say to meet him, because I knew him before, lol yes, when he was the manager at the Doll House lol (a club he worked at before the one in the video). Yep, I knew the fat jolly ole Porter of old. I want to tell him about our group more than anything. I have to tell you all that when I was told I couldn't work out for a while I got really depressed, so bad that I wanted to Un-subscribe myself from this group, only because the emails, as you all know and I'm sure have thought from time to time, can get overwhelming. Plus the fact of it teasing me like everyone saying, HAHA we can do it and you can't! We can do it and you can't! lol But I never made it to the unsubscribed stage, it would have been like cutting my umbilical cord. It's like this group, and all that you wonderful people share, is my life line. I just want you all to know that I sit in the shadow of you, YOU, as being one collective group, YOU, as this huge Goliath mountain of muscle. I just want to say that I am proud of all of you, I am inspired by all of you, and I am honored to be one of you!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TROOPS!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 Hey Pam, Thank you so much for your input on BetaLean, I am so happy to hear it is time released, any of us that have used ephedra know that it ususally hits you really hard all at once if you take too much. I swear I have layed in bed at night and thought I was laying on a trampoline because my heart was beating so hard I could feel my body lightly bouncing up and down on the bed.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 I agree -don't even think of leaving. My First, My Last, My Everything...Mmmm. Glad to see you haven't lost that sense of humor! Sit Sit. Hang in there. You are so much the core of this group to so many of us...so here's one last command, Stay , Stay!! Love from Leaner.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Hello Glenda, Just thought I would answer your letter about the BetaLean. I do not know for sure why it was taken off the shelf were you are at, but I have learned that people are having a reverse reaction to it. They are having shakes, hand tremors and nervousness. If you read the insert that comes with the bottle you will see that it does warn about these exact things. (I was one of those people that had those reactions.) I am taking the Phen-Free with no problems so far. I have been on the Phen-Free for about 2 weeks now. I called up EAS and explain to them what had happened and they allowed me to return the bottle and get a replacement of the Phen-Free. Thought that was very considerate of them. Hope this helps you out. Let me know if you hear about any other possible reasons why. Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 There is a lot of contraversy out there about the use of ephedra. I have tried both Phen-Free and BetaLean HP. I never take up to the recommended dose though. At first the BetaLean gave me jitters and made me anxious, but as use continued, or as I found the dosage for me, those went away. I only take one to two capsules a day now (on aerobic days). Maybe that isn't giving me the optimal results, but it's the dosage I am comfortable with taking.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Hi Al, I have been taking Betalean for the past 8 weeks with absolutely no problems. This surprised even me because I have mitral valve prolapse and after being diagnosed 2 years ago, I eliminated all caffeine and sugar (and stimulants like ephedrine) from my diet. I had tried Metabolife a couple of years ago and gave most of the bottle away after becoming so jittery that it felt like I'd taken a double dose of my asthma rescue inhaler. Just as a side note, since I have been on the BFL program (Jan. 18, 2001), I have not had any palpitations or angina associated with the MVP and only 1 asthma attack requiring the rescue inhaler (and that was because I was on the elevator with someone who obviously stumped their toe while using their cologne). I attribute the improvement in these conditions to the BFL way of life. So much of the program incorporates what my doctor told me to do anyway, such as exercise daily, drink lots of water, get adequate amounts of rest, eat right and eliminate the simple sugars (as opposed to complex carbs) from my diet. I got kind of sidetracked, but I do like the Betalean and I do believe that it is helping me with fat loss.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 You CAN take Betalean and Betagen together you should NOT take Betalean and PhenFree together since they are both performing the same thing- burning fat. PhenFree is the ephedra free version of Betalean hope this helps Yolanda > i'm following the Betalean thread and it seems several of you are having > great luck with it.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 No, you should not take BetaLean HP with Phen-Free. They are both thermogenics and do the same thing. You could alternate them. You would still need to cycle off of both for a while (say every 4 weeks). I have found they both work well.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Don't take it if it worries you. I loved Betalean at first too, but I developed a very irregular heartbeat after taking it for a few weeks. I ended up in the cardiology unit, wired up like a lab rat and scared senseless. There's no way it was worth it. Betalean Since I am new to this board...I do not know if you have had the Ephedra discussion. I love Betalean but am worried that every time I take one, I could possibly be setting myself up for something terrible. I find it interesting that only the muscle mags say it's safe. There are countless other articles in other health mags that really warn you about it. Too bad it works so well. No food cravings and a nice little energy packet. Any comments? in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 We have had lots of ephedra discussions, but it keeps coming up so we need to continue disucssing it. I did Betalean for about 8 weeks, I didn't get sick, but I did think the sky was falling. I broke up with BF every other day, I thought I was getting lots of things done, but really I was just making a mess, I do think I had a better 10 during cardio. Even with all that, the main reason I quit taking it was that when I wasn't taking it I crashed big time. I couldn't get off the couch, it was like I had a horrible flu. I find that a good cup of coffee gets my workouts started just fine. Oh and I did not lose any more fat while taking it than i have not taking it. > Since I am new to this board...I do not know if you have had the Ephedra > discussion.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 metabolife which has ephedra in it is getting " looked at " by the FDA or some other governmental organization due to all the complaints about health. They claimed they only had a few when in actuality it was tens of thousands. My thoughts: Don't chance it. It increases your heart rate and can cause heart abnolmailies. sfshadow wrote:We have had lots of ephedra discussions, but it keeps coming up so we need to continue disucssing it.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 I had the same results! More energy... temporarily, but no added fat or weight loss. My system took a few months to adjust after I stopped taking it. I do have to honestly say I really like the energy it gave me but on a long term basis, it's not really worth the " highs and lows.
