G'day all.

I usually have low blood pressure (approx 120 over 60) and since taking fatblaster it's risen to approx 140/98.  I have now stopped taking it.  Will monitor things over the next few weeks.

I have always been a health, active person.  I have tried taking FB twice now, within days I have had blackouts, seizures.  

Stopped FB - both stopped.  Related ???

Hi I just bought fat blaster max today and i'm starting to get really worried about the side effects. Should you not be taking this when on the pill? will this cause any long term side effects?  Can someone please give me the negatives!

Thanks

PS not fat you want to be eating, it's Carbohydrate and Protein - Eating fats isn't the way to put on Muscle.

duromine is commonally known as SPEED in the drug world........ what do you want to achieve? perhaps you will overload adding another racer!

Hi Benny,

I've been taking FB Max for a week or so and it has disrupted my sleeping.   I don't drink much coffee and if I do only in the morning.   I don't take them after 6.00 and will drink camomile tea before going to  bed or some warm milk. 

However, I do have a slight nausous feeling since taking them, has anyone else felt this??

Hi

Ive been taking FB for 10 weeks now..... lost 10 kg.....smile

ive had no side effects what so ever..... i am not a coffee drinker....dont drink coke

so my body has taken to the caffeine pretty well

i did have high blood pressure about 150-160 / 100....was just about ready to go to my doc and say put me on tablets for the rest of my life....decided it was worth losing weight and getting my BP back to normal naturally if i could.......my BP now sits around  115/70-75.....so ide say the weight loss has done great things for my BP.....certainly no ill effects

but i must say.....while ive been taking the FB...ive also been on a calorie controlled diet and do some form of cardio exercise most days a week for at least 1/2 hour

I am half way to my goal and will continue with FB till i reach it......then ill take 1 tablet per day for a few months so my maintenance continues

calorie control/ portions and exercise have become a way of life now

i no longer diet....i have a new way of life....FB is only a short term measure to make the journey a little easier.....then its up to me and me alone to continue healthy living.

if you have not tried FB....ask your doctor first...then if its ok give it a go....if you have side effects....stop taking them.....as with all things in life.....they are good for some and not for others....thats why they call us individuals

Hi there i have tried most things to lose weight i am happy with the extra energy fatblaster gives you i felt a little nausea the first week but it is only cause my body is getting use to them.It would not be on the market if it was not safe

Hi, I used duramine a few years back ...............seemed to get results almost immediately however I did find it difficult to sleep. I would check it out throughly with your GP first as mine didn't explain any of the side effects. I didn't know at the time that these tablets contained speed.

Good luck

dear all

i am about to tell you four words that will help you lose unwanted weight, and live healthier and longer lives. these four words i want you to remember, and stop wasting your money on all these potions, lotions and pills.

the four magic words are:

EAT LESS, MOVE MORE

Hey justin,

the advice you give is really encouraging and helpful to a lot of people, including myself. i'm considering the fat blaster product, despite the fact that i don't need it.  i'm a crash dieter, and i work hard at school to make sure life is as perfect as it can be, which includes my body and the way i look.  i'm afraid of over-eating, as you know dieting this way really slows down your matabelism.  i'm looking for a career in modelling after finishing school this year, and i'm looking at doing things the healthy way. do you think the fat blaster could help me maintain a healthier diet?

Thank you. your help is appreciated.

Hi,

Please help me.  I'm wanting to know what would be the likely outcome if you take fat blaster and eat only fruits and vegetables, but don't exercise. will this result in muscle loss?

Posted: 14-September-2006 at 11:36pm | IP Logged

 Hello. I have been taking FB for a few months and have found it to be great in giving me the energy to get up and exersise 5 days a week for 60min plus, which is no easy thing with two young kids and work. I have also done weights 1-2 times a week and eaten carefully ,including a treat once or twice a week (not binging!!_) and plenty of fresh friut and veg,meat/eggs and dairy and carbs in moderation. I find weight watchers helpful to work out how much to eat. I have lost 7 kg and gained plenty of definition and have no cellulite anymore, I look and feel great!

The most important thing is to develop a plan that you can maintain long term, then you will keep the weight off as well.Reward yourself when you lose every 5kg with new clothes or something you enjoy (other than food!)Look at a full lenth photo of yourself to stay focused and motivated, and remember the health benefits ie. natural endorphins make you happy, lower blood presure,higher self esteem and more energy.Good luck,

I don't know how much is FB at chemist but Duromine is about 80$ (a friend had it for 3 months,lost 12kg, gained all later when stopped with Duromine).

It is better way to use that money for going to local swimming pool 3 times a week, trust me.

Benefits of swimming are plenty:  all muscless are exercised, mind and body feel wonderfull after one session of 1 hour.

Simple, eat only fruit until miday, for lunch wrap roll sandwich, for tea yoghurt and piece of fruit, for dinner steamed veggies and meat without fat, drink butter milk (wonderful for your intestine), don't drink coffee, sweet juices, fizzy drinks, and don't eat after 8pm.

Hard work pays at the end. It is more easy to fork out money for various tablets and sit and wait.But, for our body it is not the best option.  No sweat, no gain.

I wish the best to everyone.

Hi, I've just started FB for the 2nd day, and would like to know if i can take 2 tablets without food? I don't usually have lunch, and i'm not sure if its ok. I want to lose 25kg in 4 months. is it possible?

Posted: 21-September-2006 at 12:50pm | IP Logged

Hi Justin

Thanks for your advise. Yesterday I tried to eat as little as I can, or eat low calorie food like strawberries etc, during the day, and eat heavy stuff in the evening. I didnt realise that its better to eat more during the day than in the evening.

Like u've said, eating more meals a day can increase metabolism, but do u have any advise on what to eat during meals? really small portion? and what about snacks? Does the portion for snacks has to be the same for main meals like lunch/dinner?

Thanks heaps for your advise. I'll work that out, and yes, i've started to go to the gym and do 40 minutes workout, and walk at least 45 minutes a day. I;ve cut down on fizzy drinks, and sweets, cakes, etc.

I had indian bread (1 piece) with chicken curry for lunch, 30 mins after taking FB, but i threw up half (or maybe more) of what i ate. I threw up last night after dinner too (half of the food I took). I still exercise two hours after dinner.

I will try to snack only bout 100 calories per snack, and I hope its not too much.

Thanks again Justin!

Hi

I just wanted to ask if you can take fat blaster max first without taking the normal fat blaster.

Also, can you take fb while you are on laser hair removal?

Posted: 09-July-2009 at 11:49am | IP Logged

I have been taking FB Max on and off for 3 years. I originally started with FB (without the max) and found it did nothing to alter my weight.

FB Max works - very very well but.... there are a few things I need to put up with:

Racing heart, sweating, running on a litte buzz like your on speed (feels pretty cool, im very chatty), and sleeplessness. I find that if I exercise whilst im in between taking FB Max capsules, my energy runs out very quickly and I start to feel faint and have blackouts. I get the feeling that FB Max is running me down....

That said, if you want to loose a few kilo's within a few weeks or if you do take two tablets for each breakfast, lunch and tea - which I don’t do anymore... you could loose it even quicker. I do not do the 2 capsules three times a day because I know it affects my blood pressure, my heart is racing a million pumps a minute all day and I just cant sleep at night - I also get the feeling that its making me loose a few IQ points - somehow I think its like speed and it is just wasting the brain away...

About me: I am 177cm tall, average weight is 66kg - im 29 years old - female. Chocolate addict, but otherwise eat well. Don’t do coffee or soft drinks - just green tea. I take 2 capsules of FB Max each morning before breakfast. That’s it otherwise I won’t sleep at night.

Why do I take it? If I need to loose the extra KG's then I take it until im comfortable with my body again (lost the muffin top), then im off for a couple of months - then on.... it’s an endless cycle. Let’s face it, dieting is part of our lives - it’s a booming business and this is why... im the victim of dieting and not ashamed to admit it - life goes on. Obviously the side affects does concern me when you think of the long term damage it could be doing but I figure a couple months break helps - I know that I could be proven wrong. Is there a safe weight lost solution??

And whoever said in the earlier post that if it’s sold in Australia then its safe?? To state the facts correctly - unless a product contains an ingredient that is banned internationally then its not sold in Australia. Australia is one of the slowest nations to ban harmful ingredients/products. Our Customs Dept, whilst they are doing a good job keeping out the narcotics and pests - they also control what health products have paid our government to be sold here. Truth be known - not until there are enough complaints about a consumed product then it is then formally tested and rectified / banned. No product is tested for the Australian market until there are enough complaints which means it could be consumed/used for a decade before action is taken. Lead was in paint for how long before Aust banned it?? Decades. There are government bodies in place that say they do, but they are just there as a money collection point. I could go on all day....

So is FB safe from long term side affects? I don’t think so, but at least I look good in the mean time. Call me stupid, I know. I know. Now where is my packet of FB Max!

Hey guys,

ok..so im 15 years old,female,165 cm tall and weigh i think 64.5kgs.So i guess im classed as 'Normal weight' but i hate how i look at the moment and want to lose 4.5kgs in about 7 days-for a very important function,then after that just 1kg a week so i will hopefully be skinny by xmas LOL. Um,at the moment,i eat healthy,maximum of 1200 cals evry day, mostly 1000,and TRY to do 9 hrs exercise every day (but only as of last week) because i want to lose those 4.5kgs quickly.

I just wanted to know..if taking these tablets as well as eating only 1000 cals every day and dropping to say around 4hrs exercise everyday for 7days allow me to lose those 4.5kgs? because 9hrs is hard work and i need something that will help me do it quicker and easier!!

Thanks,

Candice  (:
