MHP's DREN...feedback?

Post by heidi_sweetclover »

Sooo, I've pretty much plateau' at 19.3% bf. Been the same (w/ in .01- .02% of that) for the past month and a half.
Since they yanked beloved Hydroxycut off the market (why can't people learn to take sh** as directed!!?) I thought i'd try something new to help me get over that hump. goal bf% is 17.

If anyone's tried it please report!

Suggestions always welcome as well :)

Well this might be not what you want to hear, but because I care I'm going to say it anyway, and this won't be sugar coated, but believe me, this response is in your best interests not mine :).

Hydroxycut to knowledge also caused issued due ot things lik Undiagnosed Heart and Thyroid issues, not necessarily through misuse.

The FDA could use this as a nail in the coffin for Metabolic Enhancers, which includes Appetite suppressants and Thermogenic serums, but they won't, it's the same for anyone with the authority to do something like that but doesn't.

Classic example. A dangerous stretch of road in Britain, caused 5 serious accidents and 2 deaths in about 6 years, before anyones concerns were finally attended to.

People often who could do something in such situations, dismiss peoples concerns, until hindsight plays its part. too little too late for some.

The fact you haven't had a problem, doesn't mean you couldn't. If you have caused any possible damage to the Thyroid, you could with wear and tear and aging, end up with problems or possibly even a Thyroid disease.

Any such products even Alli, Hoodia supplements, Thermoslim, Adios etc etc, are at best a useless scam, at worst a danger to life.

If they worked, fat people could take them, and either get slower weight gain, no weight gain or weight loss, depending on the severity of their lifestyles and body composition.

After all, how many people take chemical or herbal medicines, and get told you need a calorie controlled diet and exercise programme, before your meds work? You don't. Sure some contraindications, like if you're on Heart meds, avoid Caffeine, possibly things like Grapefruit and the juices, certain supplements, alcohol, etc etc, but a Doctor couldn't say, don't eat deep fried food or your Warfarin or Ramipril etc etc, wouldn't do jack for you, because that's crap.

At best suggest you stop eating it, but I personally don't think any medication would completely fail, if someone continued to eat certain unhealthy things, or even continued with some vices. A medication might fail if it wasn't the best choice for a certain person

The warning with Hydroxycut was there, the moment any Metabolic Enhancers first hit the shelves. It was never about and has never been about Hydroxycut. They were just the first ones to open a gaping wound in the supplement industry, Frankly it could have been anyone, but it wasn't.

The best thing you can do, before you put your health at any possible further risk, is just totally forget those products. If you love yourself, don't pay for things that could physically hurt you. You deserve better for your money that a slow road to ill health.

Best wishes :).

Actuallllly- this product worked fabulously for me ;)
I felt great pretty much all day long and not shaky or crappy. It helped me trim about 3% BF in the 8 weeks I took it. Not too pricy, either. I thought it was a good investment, personally =)

Hi there :).

In your humble opinion, how did you know it worked?

I would be willing to ask you the same two questions I've mentioned before on here.

1. How much of the weight do you think you would have lost without it?

2. How much longer would you have taken to lose the weight wthout it?

If you can give me actual figures in lbs and / or %'s, which you can prove as opposed, to just being what you believe, I will take hypothetical hat off to you :).

In mind these things can only be proven to work when "isolated".

I.E.

A: given to overweight who are told to live exactly as before.

B: Lose some weight without pills, gain it back on purpose, then try to lose it again with pills.

If you do anything to your diet or activity levels, then use pills, how can you know exactly what proportion of weight loss, if any, you'll get, or what difference in duration will happen?

I'm not disparaging what you're saying, I'm just looking for some kind of precise clarification on what you can reasonably prove occured whan taking the pills.

I'm sure you won't take what I'm saying the wrong way and incase you're nto aware, I've spoken to you in more depth on your other post, which should hopefully clarify thoughts in more detail :).
