Metabolife
The supplement survived an FDA probe to continue its boast of appetite control.
BACKGROUND
Metabolife has been surrounded with a firestorm, due to the original product containing ephedra. Ephedra can be harmful to the body and is known to cause insomnia, rapid heartbeat, heart attack, stroke, seizure, nervousness and high blood pressure.
Metabolife offers a variety of products now containing new ingredients that still claim to control your appetite, burn fat and lose weight.
Diet and Nutrition
The Metabolife website has a modest list of recipes. The site also has articles on nutrition.
EXERCISE
The Metabolife website has a small list of exercise articles.
CONCLUSION
While the Metabolife product has lived a controversial story, the plan still boasts being the answer to control your appetite, burn fat and lose weight. The FDA does not support these promises by Metabolife.

when i used metabolife slimming pills,
im very satisfied with the effect of this product,.
i burn 20lbs in just 1 month.
i recommend it to oll obese.
try it now.
I'm George and ive been takeing metabolife for a day now and i have to say it really does what it says, seeing how ive only been on it for one day the fat loss part i cant tell yet but the appitite control and metabolism lift works ive always been a big guy i have a 18'' neck all muscle 38'' chest all muscle 20 inch arms all muscle but a 53'' waist witch is alot of muscle but alot of fat too my legs are mostly muscle but alot of fat around the knee area and high thigh area.
I've been taking it for one year and lost a total of 55lbs working out and eating right has helped me and a bunch of my girls did this together and wasnt expecting to lose any weight and in the first month i lost 15lbs. it was so much fun and having saport is the best thing for this i also did a 7 day cleanse and it was a great jump start. so i recommended it.. So good luck all that wants to try it...
I would really like to know more about. What about how u feel. What i am talking about, your behavior, you mood swings. Please let me know.
I've taken for 2 weeks, and each day I've
felt progressively worse. The side effects I have had are insomnia, headaches/light headed, anxiety and nervousness. I'm telling you first hand, it isn't worth it to feel this awful everyday. I'd rather go an extra 12 straight hours on the elliptical everyday than continue to take metabolife any longer.
I just started Metabolife ULTRA, is it bad for you? For those who have used it..;does it work?
And how is Ultra different?
i just started this today .... i hope it works ill let you all know how it goeses ... and yes there are alot of scary things said about this drug but none of us will know till we try it ... so wish me luck :)
Can you all be more specific with your reviews?
Health concerns/problems before taking it

The food you eat...thanks
@ashley vega
YOU STARTED TAKING IT ONE DAY AND LOST 100LBS THEN YOU STOPPED AND THE NEXT DAY YOU GAINED 200LBS. TOTAL CRAP AND RIDICULOUS.
@ Ashley Vega.
You have to be totally insane, or a complete idiot... You took it for one day and lost 100lbs then you stopped and gained 200lbs. Ridiculous!
I took it as directed, but it gives me scary side effects. I get heart palpatations where it feels like my heart is skipping a beat and shortness of breath. I was previously in good health, I'm a runner, and I was just looking to drop about 10 pounds or so, but its not worth it to feel this crappy!
I tried these pills with ephedra they worked great then they changed the formula and when they did they messed up. With ephedra great without not so much!
I used this for the appetite suppressent, fat burning and then the gastro tea cleanser. This combined with a proper low fat, low carb diet helped me to lose 35 pounds in four months. I was able to shrink my stomach, slim down my food intake and stop using the pills after 4 months. I kept it off for three years-until I got pregnant.
I gotta do a health project over this subject
My dad passed away because of the side effects of taking metabolife. Any company who can put junk like this on the shelves obviously doesn't care about how its product can affect others. They only care about sales. I say stay far away from this mess.
I like this product but when I run I get extreme pain in my lower abdominal area? Anyone heard of that crap I'm taking it as described.
To the comment that Darby made about metabolife:
I'd just like to warn you all not to take it. My mother died from using this prduct when i was 9. and it's the hardest thing to live through knowing someone so beautiful died because of the standards we set for ourselves.
If she passed when you were nine im assuming you are a adult now. She was probably taking the ones that still had ephedra in them which was deemed unsafe according to the FDA.Before you make a comment on here about someone dying from using them maybe you need to put all of the facts in your statement. Further more did she have other medical problems prior to taking metabolife that you werent aware of since you were little then. I get frustrated when i read remarks like this and i feel like it is just a scare tactic. I took it a long time ago and never had problems except weight gain when i went off of it and that is it. I'm sorry for you loss if you are being truthful.
I've been on it for only a few days now (taking only one pill instead of two before breakfast, lunch , and dinner) and have already lost 4 pounds. I go to the gym and ride the bikes for 45 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and pretty much eat what I want (even though I'm not a big junk food eater to start off with). I have stopped having snacks but I don't miss them. I didn't even realize I wasn't having snacks till I started typing this lol. I am really surprised to say the least. I was skeptical at first but I figured for $18 from Wal-mart, it couldn't hurt to try. I've also used it back when I was in high school (I am 22 now) and it worked then. Good luckto anyone willing to try it! :)
@ katie
"I took 12 one day and had to go to the er. these pills suck. never try them."
honey, read the directions.
you are not supposed to take more than 6.
I started Metabolife on 6/09/09 and I weighted 148lbs, my measurments were- bust- 37", Waist- 37" and Hips-38". I am now at my 3 week weight-in and my wieght is now 137lbs, a loss of 11 lbs, my measurments are now- bust-36 1/2" loss of 1/2", waist-32 1/2" loss of 4 1/2" and hips- 36" loss of 2". In total I have lost 11 lbs and 7" off my body in just 3 short weeks and I couldn't be happier with the Metabolife, I don't think I would have had the amount of loss without the help of metabolife. I have full intentions of continuing with metabolife until I have reached my goal weight of 125 lbs.
