2 Day Diet Pill
Japan's Linghzi diet pill receives FDA warning.
BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
The 2 Day Diet is one of the 28 diet pills that the FDA has recently issued a safety warning for. The 2 Day Diet, which might also be known as the 2 Day Diet Japan Linghzi Slimming Formula, contains the potentially dangerous ingredient sibutramine. The supplement is supposed to keep your body from digesting fat once you’ve consumed it. It is also intended to speed up your metabolism and suppress your appetite. But sibutramine is a stimulant, similar to amphetamines and is associated with causing heart attacks, strokes and even death.
PRO
- None to speak of
CON
- FDA warning
- Risk of heart attack, stroke and an elevated risk for cancer are associated with taking this product
- Will not produce long-term weight loss
- Incomplete ingredient list
INGREDIENTS
The 2 Day Diet contains sibutramine, lLingzhi, Ebony, Fox-Nut, Tuckahoe, Seman Pruni, Dioscoreae, wheat germ, Nature Substance.
ADMINISTRATION
You are instructed to take one capsule before breakfast. The label suggests that you can increase your dosage to two or three capsules each day providing your body tolerates it.
DIET and EXERCISE
There are no specific diet or exercise guidelines that accompany the 2 Day Diet but the product does suggest that you exercise in order to firm up the more fat-prone regions of your body like your abs, thighs and arms.
CONCLUSION
The 2 Day Diet is a Japanese diet pill that contains an ingredient list that the FDA has warned against because of the product’s potential to cause serious side effects. Heart palpitations, irregular heart beats, dizziness, and other more serious symptoms have been linked to the drug, sibutramine. This ingredient is very similar to the stimulant amphetamines but unfortunately, this ingredient is not always listed on the product’s label. But since the FDA has cited the 2 Day Diet as one of the supplements that contains it, you should heed their advice and avoid it.

I have been taking the Lingzhi diet pills for two months and then according to all the reviews found they are probably the fake ones. I guess the fake works for me as I lost 25 lbs.

I have been taking it for abt a month now. The first couple days, it gave me diarrhea, with weird sounds in my tummy. I believe I ate the same amount cuz its just lately that I really feel the appetite suppressing. I thought I wasnt loosing weight but when my co-workers started telling me I tried on a pair of jeans that was tight and it was swinging. The scale didnt move but the inches were. I do exercise too, though.

Do not buy from take2diet they are all fake and if you buy from china, all their products are more likely all fake and not worth your money!!! Does anybody know a website where I can buy straight from Japan?? Thank you

I liked it and never had an issue but the FDA recalls scared me.

I love it. My roommate is a diet freak and totally into staying in shape and weight loss and all those master cleanse diets. We bought them from a local asian herbal market. (My advice is DO NOT BUY THEM ONLINE!) If you're in vegas, it's in chinatown, called T&T Ginzeng.
posted Jan 15th, 2011 6:48 amWe are doing it along with Slim Fast (two slim fasts a day, 3 small snacks at 100cal. each, and one 500cal. meal a day) so our weight loss is rapid. We're averaging about 1.5-2lbs a day and it's amazing!
I HIGHLY recommend to get the tea that goes along with it, drink one a day, or as needed. For me, the pills seem to constipate me- I'm assuming bc my diet is changing abruptly, but it works as a laxative for him? It's weird. But the tea is a dihoraetic so it cleans all that stuff in your intestines. Doesn't taste bad either.
But I stay hydrated normally anyway but I would assume you'd want to drink a lot of water anyway because that supresses your appetite as well. Any little bit helps :)
I do find myself getting hungry, now that I've been taking the pill for a week, but then I just have a slim fast shake or a little snack and all is well.
I went off on my diet for two days, and ate whatever i wanted (in small portions of course) and had quite a handful of drinks ;) and only gained 1lb back.
TOTALLY recommend it! Just don't buy it online ;) Good luck!

I personally love this weight loss pills. I've tried others but I definately loose more weight vs others.
posted Dec 29th, 2010 3:05 amThese pills are good for fast weight lost. I do have fast palpitations and seem to be thirsty all the time, but love the results.
Overall weight loss will return, it is not long term. For permenant weight loss eat right and excersice, that's the bottom line. There isn't any other permanent solution unfortunately.

Ist day fine, took it with a boiled egg & 1 cup of coffee, had more energy,was very thirsty, one pill seemed to last for hours as far as energy goes. did not sleep well. 2nd day did same, coffee,egg...this day I felt nervous energy, was irritable, over stimulated, heart racing, dizzy, did not sleep well, 3rd day same routine, worse, stronger symptoms. By the fourth day I was really not feeling well, haven't slept in days, wired, racing heart decided to quit. Jumped on scale and saw I lost 4 lbs! I was excited and decided to take a day off so I could sleep and then start one pill on 6th day. Took pilll on day 6 & 7 and decided it was too much for me and my cardio, was also too irritable and too much nervous energy, could not concentrate. Day 8 i did not take a pill but still feel like I had. this stuff makes me feel like a ZOMBIE with a racing heart! Did not loose any more weight but 2 Day Diet Pill is not worth the risk! PS I didn't have a bowel movement in 4 days had to actually take a laxitive for that! Feeling a bit better today but can still feel it in my system. can't wait till its is all out and feel back to normal.

if you order from a website you may not know which is fake, some of the others have gone to nail salons to purchase them. i googled the local chinese/japenese market in my area. The grocer had every kind i didnt know what to choose. I am still on the pills, but will be switching up with protein shakes, I want to learn how to eat right, bc these only suppress my appetite, i stall and then I lose can't figure out why. But really read the reviews from the websites and check out your local market
