Tight curves protien designed for women...

[Guest guest]

Anyone hear anything about this? I saw it in one of my fitness

magazines.

Are any of you taking metabolism boosters or fat burners? Just putting

out my feelers on them. Your opinion on them?

Tight Curves is something I would definitely avoid. In big doses, soy

protein isolate can do some whacky things to your estrogen levels resulting

in PMS-like symptoms, bloating, breast tenderness, hot flashes, and weight

gain. Tight Curves also contains St. 's Wort which can interfere with

several prescription medications. It can make birth control pills less

effective, for example.

Metabolism boosters and stimulant fat burners don't work. Most don't do

anything at all and the ones that do something (ephedrine, synephrine) work

by overstimulating your central nervous system. They increase heart rate and

blood pressure, making you feel buzzed and energetic (or queasy, panicked

and paranoid), but they don't actually cause you to burn many more calories,

maybe an extra 100-150 calories per day. If your goal is to get all amped up

and burn a hundred calories, it's much safer to drink some coffee and go for

a walk. It accomplishes exactly the same thing but with no dangerous side

effects.

The side effects for metabolism boosters that work include stroke, heart

attack, seizures and death. I ended up in the cardiology unit with a heart

arrythmia after taking EAS Beta-Lean back before ephedra was pulled from the

store shelves. I've also had really unpleasant reactions to " mild "

non-stimulant fat burners which, although they don't give you that buzzed,

jittery feeling, can make you feel VERY strange, sick and paranoid. Or do

nothing. :-) You never really know whether something is going to kill you or

do nothing until you take it.

What we do know is that fat loss doesn't come in a bottle, and that nothing

you take is going to dramatically affect your results one way or the other.

If your food is clean, your calories are controlled, and your workouts are

challenging, you'll get lean. If they're not, you won't, regardless of what

supplements you're taking (or not taking). You often hear that nutrition is

80% of your results. Well, if nutrition is 80%, then workouts are around

18-19% and supplements (all of them) are maybe 1-2% of your results. They're

like the icing on the cake, or the candles. If everything else is in order,

they can give you a slight edge, but they don't do enough to make up for

shortfalls with your nutrition and workouts. Everything has to be " on "

already.

Supps that work exactly as claimed - creatine for muscle building and

workout recovery, flaxseed or fish oil for heart health and craving

reduction, and... that's about it. CLA works great in rats and chickens but

not so much with people. Green tea is healthy, good antioxidant, but by

itself it doesn't make much difference in fat loss. Protein powders are

convenient, but they're just food. They won't make or break your results.

Well, unless it's soy protein isolate with a bunch of weird herbal stuff in

it for women, then it might break your results.

Ok, I'm rambling. I'll stop now. :-)

Thanks i knew someone would know. With all this stuff out there it

is no wonder people are having health issues while working out

still. I do eat pretty clean, Besides yesterday and im working

out as much as i possibly can on the BFL schedule. Im feeling

challanged and all. I just wanted others perspectives on things!

I'll be avoiding that women protien and ALL fat burners. Thanks

No, I don't know - I was never even tempted to try them. The funny thing that

every issue of Oxygen is full of these adds - yeah, I know, they make lots of

money from the ads but still, I cringe seeing them in a magazine that promotes

exercise and clean eating. When you read the fine print, it always says that the

results were achieved by combination of these supplements, healthy nutrition and

exercise (maybe not in that order, I can't remember).Besides, I detest using any

drugs unless I really have to. Even during my period I try not to take Advil

unless I have really bad cramps or bad headache so I am totally opposed the idea

of taking these supplements.AlenaP.S. My BFL book has not arrived yet, I am

getting antsy - will have to ping the eBay seller to find out where we are at

with it.To: bodyforlifewomensclub2@...:

I remember one of those Hydroxycut ads in Oxygen a few years ago showed

sample meals and it was hilarious. It went something like:

M1) protein shake, Hydroxycut

M2) 1 egg, 1 tomato

M3) protein bar, Hydroxycut

M4) chicken, lettuce

M5) sugar free jello

And I was like, HOLYSNOT! No wonder she lost 30 pounds in 10 days or

whatever! LOL

Wow that is really crazy. I had a Boy friend a long time ago that

was big into working out and took alot of stuff and one was a fat

burner. He had a hard time in the bedroom if u know what i mean. That

alone told me something was off on what he was doing and made me

think that all the stuff he was doing was making him like that.

the affecting the bith control pill was enough to tell me NO!

I dont like to take anything either, not for headaches or anything.

I have found that taking ONE Lean System 7 in the morning gives me a

good calm, focused energy without coffee jitters and helps a bit with

appetite, while still letting me get a good night's sleep. It also

helps keep me out of the diet sodas. The reccommended doseage for

LS7 is six capsules per day. Once I made the mistake of taking a 2nd

one at noon and was up all night. I'm not deluded enough to think

it's going to boost my metabolism or make me lose fat faster, but I

do like the effects I get from taking one in the morning.
