I started taking the Fat Blaster last week on Wednesday, two tablets before each meal. I have had bad indigestion ever since, and was thinking that it might be due to the Fat Blaster. Has anyone else noticed a similar side-effect? Would it make a difference if I took the tablets after eating?

Hi,

I have been taking the Reductal 10mg for a while and have not noticed any change, am I doing anything wrong?  A friend mentioned to me that she has been on Fat Blaster MAX for a while and it has really helped her.  Do you think that I should go off the Reductal and give the Fat Blaster a try?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joan,

Just wondering if you have found any success with the Fat Blaster and how soon after you started taking it did you notice that you had started to loose weight?

Thanks, Katherine

what are some bad things about fatblaster?

Hi e'one - long time lurker, first time poster!

My experience with Fat Blaster has been that was is good to help kickstart my diet but in the end unfortunately it comes down to exercise and diet. I don't think I would use it if I only needed to lose five kilos. I was "obese" when I started to use it. Now I'm probably five kilos over what a doctor would call my "ideal" weight. But that's just me.

I've been meaning to try the Fat Blaster Max, but I'm owrried about becoming dependant on diet pills and stuff.

I think the pedometer is a good idea - thanks Liz  - and they're only $30 bucks these days.

I was using Fatblaster last year for a while and found that it really did help - I was going to Weight Watchers but found it hard to stick to the eating plan, i.e. wanting to eat chips!!!  Fatblaster helped me with the junk food cravings and appetite suppression.  All up I lost 15kg over about 5 months (4 months of that on Fatblaster).   It is not a fast fix but the weight loss was consistent when it hadn't been prior to taking it, and that is what kept me motivated. 

I would never have seen changes if I was only on Fatblaster and not on a healthy eating plan...however, Fatblaster made it easy to stick to. 

The bad side (cos there always is) -

Over time I felt like the effects the tablets were supposed to give, were minimising and I slowly felt the cravings and my appetite return.  Almost like I was immune to it...

Actually, when I bought the blood pressure monitor I got a free pedometer. Too bad I had already bought one by that stage.

 Hi... My names Grace.  I have been exercising for over a year now.  I go to the gym 4 - 5 days a week!  I run on the treadmeill for about 30 mins and use the weight for the other 30 minutes, In the last year I have lost over 50 cm.  but lately I have began to put the weght back on.  I was a size 20 down to a 16 but am slowly going back up to an 18.  I have changed my rutein at the gym, but this doesn't seem to be helping. 

Would the fat blaster help someone like me who's quite fit but unable to shift the weight?  I am still classed as obese even though I have lost so much weight.

Posted: 09-June-2005 at 3:08pm | IP Logged

Nathan and Justin: thanks for the advice.  I know that I have a condition called polycystic ovaries cyndrome, which in itself causes obesity.  So I know that it's going to be very hard to lose the weight.   The cardio that i do is running and using the cross-trainer, I also use the stepper for about 15 minutes.  I just think that I'm slowly eating too much rubbish, so hopefully the fat blaster will help me.  I started taking them this morning... Wish me luck

Another thing... Has  anyone heard about dietrim?  I've heard good thinks about this product (on the net) but can't seem to find it

Hi Everyone.

I have just bought my first packet of Mx Fat Blaster and to be honest, i am really nervous. I have never used any aids before and i am scared about possible side-affects.

can anyone advise whether they had any at all? Insomnia? anything.

Hi Carol, as has been mentioned on here previously, being overweight has a lot more side effects than Fat Blaster will give you.

If you are a regular coffee/tea drinker then the caffine in Fat Blaster shouldn't affect you too much. It's mainly to give your body some energy that you would usually get from snacking on high-calorie/suger foods.

People have complained about headaches before. Maybe someone else would be in a better position to comment?

Posted: 02-October-2005 at 11:36pm | IP Logged

thanks for the words of encouragement.

Im well aware of the weight fluctuations, it just has to be coming off though because I am making so much healthier food choices. Interestingly I have totally lost all urge for coffee too.  I couldnt imagine I could "forget" to drink coffee!

Hi Everyone,

                         I am considering trying fat blaster as i have about 10-15kg to lose, however could someone please tell me what the difference is between dietary fat blaster, and fat blaster max? which one should i be buying?

Thanks :)

Hey Rachel,

I bought FB and it says to use it for 12 weeks along with calorie controlled diet and exercise and then move onto the FB Max to shift the extra weight if need be.  Basically, don't jump ahead if you don't need to.

My problem is thus.  I'm NOT a big build, though I am quite tall.  I've never weighed more than 12 stone - 76 kilos others.  Bout 3 years ago I started having serious bouts of depression and anxiety and because I couldn't work my weight ballooned (previously I was in performing arts so was quite fit)  I've tried EVERYTHING when it comes to dieting, and they all work, but gradually I've put more weight on.  I'm not 86 kilos!

I don't eat more than 15K calories a day, and what I eat is balanced.  I have no junk food - as I have allergies to chocolate and some wheat - and I have a Rowing Regime - using an indoor rower 5 times a week.  I have been doing this for 4 months now, and not lost a thing.  I am hoping that once I get back from Holiday the weight will come off with the help of FB.

What more can I do ? help help help!  FB seems to be the last line of defence in a long and drawn out battle - bearing in mind I know some people have had weight problems all their lives etc, I do not mean to sound whimpish!

Posted: 28-October-2005 at 8:58pm | IP Logged

Unfortunately, Fat Blaster will do not all the work for you.  There may be several causes to your weight gain, from Thyroid problems, allergies or your basal metabolism has slowed right down due to lack of exercise.

Perhaps you should consult your doctor with your fears and get some tests done.  I recently had an allergy test which proved I'm allergic to wheat and have since felt a sh*t in weight - not dramatic but enough.

I find that sometimes Pharmacies will say what they want to sell the target amount of product they need to.  I bought the Detox 4-3-2-1 from a Pharmacy recently - was told it'd work wonders and it was absolute crap!

Before paying out for more pills, seek out a professional and get to the underlying cause of the problem.  If walking doesn't help with your veins try a low impact exercise regime such as Yoga or perhaps Pilates.  Winsor pilates works wonders as they have various levels of fitness workouts.

Hope that helps!

well im 15, im bout 168cm tall and i have an average weight but i feel really over-weight im not satisfied unless im skinny but lately i cnt motivate myself to exercise i try but cnt or end up ruining it by lashing out in all this food, ive even started to binge eat. I went overcease this year and lost 10 kilo's now ive put on 3 im scared ill go fat again. i want somehting that will help me loose weight fast is fat blaster for me?? or is that matebo thing better?

Posted: 10-December-2005 at 1:24am | IP Logged

FatBlaster is only recommended for people over the age of 18.  It also will not really "help you lose weight fast" - you still need to have a balanced diet and exercise regime so this probably isn't a product for you to try just yet. 

As you are an average weight already I would just concentrate on having a more active lifestyle - take up a sport (maybe with a few friends) and perhaps start a food journal so you can keep track of what your eating and think about what you are about to consume to try to avoid "binge eating".

I know there is a lot of pressure these days for young girls to be thin - just remember that images you see in the media are NOT realistic and most of them are UNDERWEIGHT which can be just as damaging to your health. 

All the best!

I was thinking of trying the fat blaster and was just wondering if you have a balanced diet and exercise how long until you would see any type of results, iv tried alot of other things and never really seen any type after months, If i was to take it should there be anything else that you should take as well to help move the weight? such as vitimans or other things. please help this is my last resort

Hi guys, I ve been reading though this, and i need some feedback

Im 19 and my BMI is 20. Im looking to just lose a little bit of fat from various areas that i havent been bothered to shift in the last few months.

Currently I have a pretty good diet i dont eat heaps and I mostly eat the right thing (lets face it we are only human) and every night I do about an hour of excercises with my Swiss Ball and about once a week ill do a 5km walk when i can be bothered.

Ive been on Fat Blaster for 2 days now. Im taking 2 tablets a day. How long do you think it will be before i see some results?

hi everyone!
I've just started to use the fat blaster max. I seem to be having less energy than when i didnt use it. Can someone tell me if someone has had the same effect? or am i just alone in this?

And also i feel a bit bloated after taking it. The only good thing about it for me is that it supresses my appetite.

Posted: 16-April-2006 at 10:05pm | IP Logged

Okay, been takiung it for ages now, and I feel great, lots of energy and its healping with digestion, ive lost about 5 kg's.

Go me!

Posted: 03-May-2006 at 11:36pm | IP Logged

I started taking fat Blaster on 19 02 2006

ive lost 10.2kg....so pretty good.....smile

ive had no side effects at all and i have heaps of energy now

I stick to a calorie allowance of 1350 cals per day and i do kick boxing and interval training to help lose the weight. Fat Blaster helps me stick to my plan by stopping cravings and supressing my appetite....it also gives me energy to exercise

so yeah ide say for me it works great

i still have 9.8kg to go....so just over 1/2 way....smile

im sure that without fat blaster i could also reach my goal....but the tablets just seem to make the journey that little bit easier

Hi,

I have been taking Max  fat blaster since October last year.

I have tried everything on the market and I love the product.

People are telling me how great I am looking.

The cravings have stopped, I can now walk four kilometers every second day, i have more energy and I feel beautiful.

I have lost about seven kilos.

Thank - you Max, my best new friend.

i also think that if you feel beatiful about yourself on the inside people will seen dramatic charges on the outside, feel confident about yourself its the easiest way to lose weight i say...............when you least expect it you lose it fast

hey everyone just need some advice before i start FatBlaster from the 1st of July

How long do you have to take the tablets for? (was advised that you take it for 4months straight then stop for a month, then do it for 3 months, then stop,etc)

Can you take only one tablet or do you have to have two before every meal?

Whats the side affects, eg: does it cause bloating/consitpation,etc?

Thanks in advance!!!

ive been using fat blaster max for about 4 days now, and ive already lost 3kg, though i have found myself being very emotional/queezy.

it is really helping with my food intake, making me queezy so i dont eat.

haah and i stole the tablets, im only 15.

I have an event to go to in about 6 weeks, and would love to drop about 7kg in that time period. I go to the gym 5 days a week for 2 1/2 - 3 hours, doing a mix of cardio and weight training, and have changed my diet completely and sticking to a food plan my nutrionist advised. Ive done the gym and diet routine for 2 weeks now with no weight loss AT ALL. Im very dissapointed, would it be unwise to take fatblaster in conjunction with my new routine? And when ive lost the weight i want to, stop using it?

can you go straight onto Fat Blaster Max without going onto the original fatblaster tablets?

I started taking Fat Blaster last week and it's really helped me to stop over-eating and and stopped the cravings. I haven't weighed myself yet but I can already feel a slight difference in my clothes. I've really struggled to lose these last 10 kilos and have tried many diets, hopefully this will be the one.

I read this forum last week,before making my decision on whether or not to go ahead with purchasing and taking fat blaster.thankyou to everyone for your opinions,some favourable and some not so favourable.in the end i decided that i was going to give it a try,and the good news is that in just over two days i have lost half a kilo  its not a world record,but for me it doesnt need to be,for me i see it as a positive start.i have up to now suffered no side effects,although im sure if i had wanted to,i could have attributed a few small things to the fat blaster,im not going to do that though,im simply going to keep going and hopefully continue to do as well as i have up to now.ive got a headache today,but i had one last weekend and had not even started on the fat blaster,my headache is due to the fact that when i have a late night im over tired and hey its headache time,i might get constipated in a month, it happens from time to time,but i wont blame it on fat blaster,what im trying to say is as simple as this,take the tablets and see if they work,dont look for negatives before you even start,thats the surest way of talking yourself out of even trying.and when you do start remember,there were days before you started, that gave you the blues,and times when you found it difficult to sleep,or even maybe you had mood changes,its called life.im going to keep going with fat blaster simply because thats what ive decided,and the fact that it has received some negatives on this forum will not deter me,nor sway me from coming to my own decisions as to whether or not it is the right product for me.im also in the minority on this forum,hi ladies you now have a male companion,im gobsmacked at the fact that the only male input on here seems to be from justin,come on lads where are you?i know your out there,ive seen you walking around town with lets just say a pot belly,or am i imagining it,am i really the only overweight male in the univerese

Good on you Patrick...it's good to see a male admitting he has a weight problem and doing something positive about it. I always think it is so unfair it seems to be only us women that have to worry about their weight and be trim for the opposite sex.

I have just today, started taking Fat Blaster. I am 38 years old and have always struggled with my weight. I am also on anti-depressants which make it hard to shift kilos. Currently I am about 30 kilos overweight, but am committed to shedding at LEAST half of it. Next  March I am being Cheif Bridesmaid at my girlfriends wedding so this is at least part of my motivation. Other than that I just really don't feel comfortable being this weight. And from a health point of veiw,  my family history contains heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancers. So obviously shedding excess weight is in my best interests.

So anyway thats my story, will drop in and let you all know how I am progressing. I am refusing to give in to my usual daily weighing, only weekly, so will drop in after that... if I experience any side effects I will let you know but so far ...nothing.

Good luck everyone and happy shedding! Stay strong!

hi guys,

i started taking dietary fat blaster just yesterday. i started taking it due to recommedations from a friend who also wants to lose weight. he told me that as a big eater, (as i am too), after taking 2 pills of fat blaster he started to feel really full after only a small meal and therefore asked me to try. since i've already gained about 10kgs in the last two years, i decided that it was probably a good idea to stop being lazy and do something about it.

and as fat blaster was only 30 bucks from a nearby coles i decided it was worth a try.

now, solely on what i've read and what i've heard, i assumed that fat blaster would decrease my appetite as well as make me feel full faster.

yesterday alone with 2 pills before each meal i had about what i usually ate and have found myself in a situation where i cannot rely on a pills alone.

my advice (non-medical) to anyone who's on regular fatblaster themselves: eat about 3/4 to half of what you usually eat, chew slowly and drink lots of water after a meal as you need to stay hydrated on fat blaster. and please for the love of whatever you believe in, if you are serious, stop the junk food.

do not rely on the pills to do all the work alone.

i find that if i allocate myself less food to eat after taking 2 fat blaster pills, despite a slight bloaty feeling from being 'full', i do feel somewhat satisfied that i have eaten less yet feel as full as i would if i had stuffed my face.

i intend to start taebo once a week and start walking to school everyday which is about a 1km walk.

here's hoping that i'll be a healthier, slimmer me in 6-8 weeks!

good luck everyone, i'll check back often!

Hi Everyone,

I have only been taking fat blaster for the last 3 days. I take 2 tables, 3 times a day. I haven't really felt any surge in energy but I do feel a little less hungry all the time. I am only eating half the sized meals I normally eat.

Being 150kg's and 5'11 I have always eaten huge meals and about 6 of them a day. I cannot afford lap band surgery at the moment so this is my last resort. I have been doing a brisk walk for 30 mins each day and already feel better.

I have taken Reductil & Duramine before but they put my blood pressure through the roof and made me feel horrible, my doctor took me off them.

I'm going to stick with Fat Blaster for 12 weeks and then move onto Fat Blaster Max after that. Will let you's all know how I go.

I am getting married next April and need to lose about 60kg's so I'm hoping I can average about 2-3 kg's a week with 3 small meals a day, 30 mins walking and Fat Blaster!

Posted: 23-August-2006 at 6:13pm | IP Logged

Just another note - I dont drink any caffine drinks like tea, coffee or soft drink. I would recommend staying away from them because Fat Blaster already has that stuff in it and you might get headaches from adding more caffine.

I only drink water now

Hey guys,

I was just very curious, I am 17  years old and have just bought fat blaster. I was just wondering how long it takes to see results (if i'm dieting properly and excerising for 30-40 mins a day)?? Also I read that if you're under 18 you really aren't supposed to use fat blaster? I really want/need to lose weight quick for a holiday I figured I'd use a suppliment.  Can anyone help me out???
