RapidSlim
A new diet pill brings a just as new herbal ingredient to the table.
BACKGROUND
One of the newer diet pills on the market positions itself as the fastest weight loss formula ever. It's a bold statement for RapidSlim SX that they try to support with clinical studies, natural ingredients and a patented production procedure.
RapidSlim SX is a doctor-formulated diet pill, designed for the fast-paced lives of women. The pill was created to be discreet and easy to take. It's a liquid gel caplet that uses LiQuick Fix technology. This means the ingredients have been reduced to a liquid state within the capsule. The RapidSlim SX will break down quickly in your body to deliver rapid weight loss.
One clinical study is presented, in which those taking RapidSlim SX versus a placebo lost an average of 14.5 pounds in eight weeks. Also, 29 percent of those taking RapidSlim lost 24 pounds during the same time.
INGREDIENTS
RapidSlim SX contains many ingredients. The most active are Hoodia, Cissus Quadrangularis and caffeine.
Hoodia is a wildly popular weight loss pill ingredient. It’s derived from the South African desert and has been used by the bushmen there for centuries to suppress appetite during long hunting trips. This natural herb is widely used in America in appetite suppressants with much success.
Cissus Quadrangularis is another herbal ingredient that has been around for centuries, however, this is probably its first appearance in a weight loss pill. Cissus comes from India and has traditionally been used to heal bone fractures or treat bone diseases like osteoporosis. RapidSlim SX claims research that supports its weight loss ability. The plant does provide vitamin C, beta-carotene and antioxidants.
RapidSlim SX also contains caffeine. While a natural ingredient, it is known to cause nausea, racing heart and the jitters.
EXERCISE
It is encouraged to exercise while taking RapidSlim SX to ensure optimal results. However, no specific direction is provided. The site offers a personal journal that you can download and print to keep track of daily food and exercise choices.
CONCLUSION
While RapidSlim SX does present encouraging clinical research and is made of natural ingredients, there is still little support of the main ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis. Side effects and long-term benefits are unknown. It would be helpful to have direction for an exercise regimen, as this is an area many dieters struggle with. There is broad availability of the product, making it easy for the targeted women to access it. As a newer product, it will take time for more solid research to surface, as well as user testimonials.

I started taking RapidSlim SX in March, 2008, and I've lost 40lbs. I don't get sick, and I have lots more energy then I've had in a long time. I tell everybody to try it. Ilove it so much.
I have been taken the pill for about a week and lost about 3 1/2 lbs with excercise and plenty of water. No real side effects, a lot of energy, and restless, but i assume that is b/c of the caffine. Overall, it's about average, but i will have to say like some of the other comments, every diet is not for everyone.
This is Day 2 and so far so good. No major side effect at all. On Day 1, I took 1 pill 3x's. Today, I took 1 pill 2x's. I've lost 3 pounds so far and I don't have diarehea, I have a little more energy but I still feel hungry. Maybe I'm just greedy. But so far so good and I will keep you informed on how its going.
Today is June 7, 2008 and its my first day taking the pill. I took only one and so far so good. I about 2 cups of water, rent running and seem to have a little bit more energy than normal. I ran longer and didn't feel like I wanted to stop as I usually would. I ran some errands and I'm also on this other diet called medical diet. You should google it, its where u eat nothing but fruit and soup one day then veggies and soup the next and it gives u the recipe for the soup. It's supposed to clean your body and get rid of impurities and make you feel healthy. I plan to take another pill (one only) at noon because I still feel hungry and just a little boost of energy but nothing major. So I will keep you informed. Oh yeah, so far to my surprise, I weigh 147. I've never weighed that much. My 1st target goal is to lose 5 pounds which will be 142, so we will see how soon I reach that goal with the pill and the medical diet. Wish me luck and I'll be back in touch soon.
i actally took rapid slim and i lost 20pounds i wanna lose 40 more but im not consisent with taken the pills and i do agree with the others i got sick but thats because u have to make sure u eat with the pills cause u feel nasueating but other than that they wee good but if u put ya mind to take the pills u can lose all the weight
Well you guys, I never got enough nerve to take the pill yet. As I told u before my family came into town and I was afraid that I'd get sick. Well, today is Friday and I have the weekend off, so I plan on taking the pill probably a 30 mins before I get off work so I have the whole weekend to recover just in case. However, I have been excercising and drinking plenty of water everyday without the pill. I did try a laxative twice and I do see a little difference. I am going to have to buy a scale so I can weigh myself. If I can drop down 2 pants sizes (I am a 10) I will be so happy. Well, I'm about to eat a chocolate bar cause I can't fight my urge...I'll let you know how it goes after I take my first pill today.
I started using pill 5 days ago and i lost 6 pounds . I did not have any bad side effects. The pill gives me huge amount of energy and I don t feel hungry at all. I tried taking pill around 9 pm but it keeps me awake so I try taking it around noon. didn t experiance bad effects what so ever. I am trying to eat healthy and drink lots of water . Few years ago i lost 30 pounds in 2 months only by dieting. The diet is medical diet and it works. The first day - you eat fruit except banana second day - vegetables- exc corn beans third day-fruit and vegetables 4 th day- 3 bannanas and 1 L of non fat milk 5 day- vegetables and 500 g of coocked beaf 6 day same as 5 day 7 day brown rice and vegetables in 7 days u can loose up to 10 pounds I think you have this diet on the intertet so check it out.. i found it kind of hard the first week or so but after i got used to it..
I am 34 and I'm 5"4 1/2. I do not have a scale so I don't know how much I weigh, I'm guessing 145. Anyway, I'm a healthy female, have a 12 yr old daughter and never really had a weight issue. I just like being 20lbs lighter because my close fit better. Normally I see instant results after excercising but the last few years its been getting harder to lose so now I want to try something new. Diet pills. Have no clue how these will affect me. I do not drink coffee and I do have a delicate stomach so I'm very nervous of how RapidSlim SX will work. I bought it from Sears Grand for about $20 something and compared to the brands this was the most affordable so that's why I chose it without knowing how the ingredients will work for me. I asked the pharmacist and she said some of the ingredients she recognized and some she didn't. I am drinking plenty of water tonight and plan to take my very first pill tomorrow morning before breakfast then I plan to go jogging. I plan to take only one for the entire day just to see because I'm afraid I will experience what some of the others have. And due to my light weight, delicate digestive system and sometimes I feel my irregular heartbeats, I chose to try just one. I will update you tomorrow on how my experience was with it. The only thing that concerns me is everyone who has left a comment is pretty much new and I haven't read anyone who has taken this a few years back and their experience. And I'm kinda relunctant on taking this pill tomorrow because I have family from out of town coming to visit and we have so much planned and I'd hate to ruin fun and if this pill gives u diyahrrea and nausea how am I supposed to work? Anyway, I will try it and let you know how it goes...
Started taking these pills May 27/08 and have had diarreah since. Cannot leave the house for fear of an accident. Make me feel sick not sure they are a food product but I guess everything effects people differently. No weight lose to speak of.
I started taking Rapid Slim about a week and a half ago. I have noticed an increase in energy, but do get sick to my stomach and get a head ache shortly after taking the pills. But I've noticed if I take the pills while eating (instead of before or after I eat) I get less sick. I also believe that the cause for my headaches is because I cut back on caffeines (such as soda and coffee) when I started taking these pills. But noticed that if I still drink my normal coffee in the AM and a soda through the day I do not feel as sick. Also to prevent the sick feeling, instead of eating 3 meals a day, I eat breakfast, a small snack like pretzels before lunch, lunch and then a small snack in the late afternoon, and then dinner. I havent really felt sick since I started do this. (I ate this way when I was pregnant to prevent the morning sickness feelings). I believe these pills are working well for me, esp with the way I am eating. I also read somewhere that your body has to get use to having the increase (or decrease in my case) of caffeine, so that is the cause of the headaches. I will continue on taking these pills (atleast til I finish the 2 bottles I have) and see what the results are before I decide to contine on with the program.
I started taking these pills today, 5/24/08. I already eat well and exercise daily and I've lost weight on my own, I just needed a little bit of a boost to lose an extra few pounds right away. I only took one at breakfast and one at dinner. These are making me sick! I've had diarreah, I feel lightheaded, dizzy and nauseated. I can't even think straight. I do not have an increase in energy and I feel hungrier, but yet because I feel sick, I can't even eat. My heart rate even appears to be slower. I will never take this pill ever again. I guess this teaches me a lesson to stick with what I'm already doing naturally. What a waste of money, this shouldn't be on the market.
I have reduced the dosage because of restless sleep at night but it does help curb my appetite while I attempt to maintain the first phase of the South Beach diet. However, everyone reacts differently to various supplements and this is due to one of the following: genetics; metabolic patterns established in childhood; oxygen efficiency; caffeine tolerance. Good luck with whatever you chose, but remember all weight loss depends on effective food choices and this pill should only be used as a supplement to good nutrition and exercise..

I started taking these pills on April 3,2008. I have nothing good to say about these pills. I got very ill and even at times I had to lay down because i was so sick. I had major mood swings and just didn't really feel like myself while taking these pills. Not to mention I started to lose the weight I lost about 5 pounds in the first couple of days. But I got on the scale for my weigh in for the week and have now gained 7 pounds. How this can be possible I have no idea since I am not snacking at night or between meals and doing training twice a day. I drink at least two litters of water a day and I still gain. At breakfast lunch and dinner I eat small meals so I can't understand where the gain is coming from. these pills are not worth it in my book. I want to lose weight but not at the risk of being sick or possibly having something terrible happen to me. I will continue to do my training twice a day and will continue to eat right and drink my water but I will be doing it without the use of these pills.
I ended up in the emergency room yesterday. I took two rapidslim pills in the morning(9:30)... After about 2 hours, I became extremly light headed and jittery (I am not a caffine drinker)... I felt like I wanted to run laps around the neighborhood as fast as I could go. As the day wore on, I became sicker and sicker... By 4 in the afternoon I completely crashed. I lost ALL muscle control and was not able to move my body AT ALL. My 7 year old daughter had to call 911 and I was rushed to the hospital. They put me on an IV to flush the pills out of my system. I gained back my muscle control, but I was still sick to my stomach, jittery, unable to sleep and tingly until about 3am. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. I am NEVER taking another diet pill again.
do you lose weight with the pills do it make you eat less?
do it take off the weight controll your eating and how many pounds do you lose in a week or two
I have been taking the rapid slim for a week now. I am only taking one a day because they can make you feel really sick to your stomach. I have lost about 6 pounds and want to lose another 10. I want to know if I will continue to lose the weight when only taking the one pill. Please what do you think? I am watching every thing I eat. Has anyone else had suggest just taking one pill a day??
Ive been using this product for 5 days, the first day was a little weird because I probably wasnt used to the caffeine yet, i did take the 4 pills on the 3rd day like your supposed to, but it definetly made me want to throw up! I got a headache, and side pains in my stomach, anways i only take one pill 2x a day, and that seems to be just fine, no shakes, and no lightheadedness. Overall this pill is great, andi have lost 3 lbs, in 5 days so far, defintly going to the finish the bottle!
I have taken rapid slim a while back, and I lost 15 lbs within 2 weeks. I didnt have any side effects, as with other pills I have tried, and it did make me feel more energetic. I did not increase to the 2 pills twice daily because of the weight loss, and energy I experianced. I just started to take rapid slim once again (3/14/08). I want to see if I get the same results, and so far I have the energy, not overboard, but i feel good. From my experiance, this is the only one that has helped me with hunger. I have to remember to eat. Diet pills aren't for everyone, and shouldn't be taken for along time. I will usually just use a bottle, and thats about it. I dont soley rely on it to help me lose weight for my whole diet regime, I just use it for help in the beginning to get alittle boost. Good luck on your weight lose journey!
