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.
