Diet Pills = BAD NEWS

Be VERY very careful about diet pills. Most of them contain massive amounts of stimulants-- nobody wants to eat when they're on speed.

Many of them will contain Ephedrine (VERY dangerous) or an ephedrine-like chemical, which is an "upper" or stimulant drug to speed up your metabolism and body processing rate. Some will also contain MA GUANG, the Chinese herbal equivalent of ephedrine, ALSO very dangerous.

I took Metabolife herbal (which contains ma guang, I didn't know how bad it was until later) and ended up getting heart palpitations- a VERY common side effect. I had a lot more energy and was pleased with them for a while, until I realized that I wasn't hungry and I had more energy because I was basically ON SPEED! I ended up turning white as a sheet and passing out cold in the middle of work, and my pulse was very irregular and weak.

Before you take ANY diet pill, talk to a doctor or at LEAST a good pharmacist about it-- it could mean the difference between life and death!
