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.

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! :)

"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.

"been on it for over 10 years...Wonderful"
UM...obviously it's NOT wonderful if you've been on it for 10 years.
been on it for over 10 years...Wonderful
debbie im not saying youre wrong but the ingredients in this would probably never make a limb go nearly dead? haha it just sounded incredibly dumb,
My 18 yr old dau was released from the hospital yesterday after a very serious reaction to Metabolife Ultra. She is healthy and on no other medications. She took it for 48 hours. She developed neurological symptoms including numb tongue, slurred speech, blurred vision and paralysis of her right arm. After many, many expensive tests, her neurologist diagnosed her with a severe reaction to this product. Her symptoms have resolved, except after 3 days, she still has no feeling in her arm. There are better ways to loose weight and have more energy.....healthy and safely.
To the previous comment. You are an idiot and of course overdosing will make you not like any product. Doesn't the bottle say "do not exceed 6 pills a day... Retard
I took 12 one day and had to go to the er. these pills suck. never try them.
I started taking metabolife in December 1999 and stopped taking it in June 2000. I went from a size 14 to a size 10. I felt confident and the only problem that I had with the pill was that sometimes, it made my heart race. Other than that, I will take it again of course Ephedra free.
I took metabolife about 2 years ago, for 3 months and lost almost 30 pounds but I was also exercising and dieting. Once I stopped taking it, I started gaining the weight back slowly but I got it all back... but I will start using it again b/c I know it did work.. I just hope the new one would do the same.
I had the origional formula when I was a teen during the 90's, I liked it then. I started taking again recently and I have no problems with it.
This just didn't work for me. I took it the way the directions said and followed the nutrition program and didn't lose any weight. That's just me though. I think things work differently on people.

I like the energy it gives me. I ran out yesterday and noticed that I wanted to take a nap at noon. I bought some more and felt so much better today. I only take it in the morning because it keeps me up late if I take it in the afternoon.
I bought this product like 30 min ago but i just scared because of side effects and stuff and ive been taken those green teas supplementry everyday so i just dont know should i just stop taking the green tea one or what?
I jus baught matabolife yesterday .. And reading some of these reviews i'm getting a little scared .. Can someone please tell me if i'm going to make a mistake .. I do work out everyday because of lacrosse practice and i am starting a new diet.
I loved it before they pulled it off shelves and changed the formula. Just one person had to ruin it for the rest of us that liked and asctually worked!
I use to take this pill during my soccer season for the extra energy. It helped boost my ability at games and practices, but I never lost any weight because I didn't follow with a eating plan. After soccer ended, I stopped.
After doing research on it and the side effects I think that once I go back to school, I am going to start taking it again. I'm sixteen years old, 5'4 and 168 pounds. I've never been a "skinny" girl before and I'd like to drop some weight and get in better fitness before my next soccer season arrives. I said during school because after school hours, I run up to two miles a day, and weight lift afterwards with a few soccer buddies of mine. And so far, doing that has dropped a couple pounds off of me, but I want more. Should I start again or not?
I find it very hard to start a diet (change my eating habits).Metabalife gives the kickstart that I need. I go up and down with my weight and meatblife helps maintain. When I first start to take them,it gives me so much energy. I move more and eat better it really curbs my appetite. After about a month or so I have lost 10 or more lbs. and I use less and less. When I feel my eating habits start to get under control I stop using them. It has alot to do with you wanted to lose the weigh and making life style changes. When you say to yourself enough is enough. You have to recognize what triggers your eating. For me it's stress or boredom. I have always been happy with the results.
there is no quick fix..no magic pill...it's a life style change. Eat right and exercise.
