Phen-Free and BetaLean
Originaly posted on BFL Women
Most people take Phen-Free every other day on cardio days. Don't start with
the maximum dose. Try one pill twice a day (like pre-workout and after lunch) and work up to more. Don't take it late
in the day or you'll never sleep.
The side effects are many and varied. Phen-Free contains St. John's Wort which can
interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. If you're using oral contraceptives you probably don't want to
be using Phen-Free. It contains synephrine which will make you freakishly alert. It can cause insomnia on days you take
it and a huge crash in your energy levels on days you don't. It contains yohimbe, which in large doses can actually cause
hallucinations. It made me VERY worried, anxious, and depressed. I mean like I was pacing around peeking out the windows
and stuff. I was lying awake and night agonizing about credit card debt, cancer, and the end of the world. That's totally
unlike me. I was willing to put up with all the side effects though if it helped me lose weight. It didn't. I finally
came to my senses and took it back.
Then.... drumroll. I moved on to BetaLean. That WORKED!! I was a bundle of energy,
I felt great, and lost an inch off my waist in the first week. My heart flipped out and I ended up in the cardiology unit
though. So, scratch that.
Some people have great luck with fat burners. I'm not one of them. Can you see why they
didn't make me an EAS spokesperson? LOL My essay would go like, "Phen-Free nearly poisoned me. I saw large pink rabbits
in the trees and didn't sleep for several days. Betalean worked great until they had to pry the bottle out of my clenched
fist in the emergency room."
Ha! But seriously, fat burners aren't for everybody. If you try something and it
makes you feel weird, stop taking it pronto. It's not worth it.
