Brazilian Diet Pills Causing Stir

When did this herbathin come to the market? I like the pictures in the testimonials.

Like everyone else... I'd like to know where I can read up on and purchase the original emargrece sim?

I think it is great that people are choosing to put their own stories on here but, why do people have to get angry with each other and bicker back and forth? Put your story out there and let people read them and make up their own minds.

I read all the comments and am quite torn. I had gastro-bypass last year.. which should be a concideration before taking any of these weight loss pills. Yes, I know that all will not be eligible for the surgery, but it's safe, effective, and you get great results. I am reading these commments, and must say that, I understand how you want instant results, but it does not happen, that is why I had the surgery. I was not a really big person 18-20W, now I am down to a 10/12, the reason for the surgery was health issues related to morbid obisty, diabetes and heart problems. Now I am reading this and thinking.." I would get these pills regardless" had I not had the surgery. If you are over weight, you have to do what you feel is best for you. You can die without the pills due to the complications of obesity. If you want to take the pills then do so, but know all the risks, or talk to your Dr. about by-pass surgery that is safe, and medically followed. Best of Luck to all!!!!

Everyone that is considering taking black market drugs to lose weight should just admit that they are just like the crackhead on the street, or the kids who are doing ecstasy (or whatever the hell kids are doing these days... Oxycontin?) You are drug users, taking illegal drugs.

I'm not against taking amphetamines or any drug for weight loss, I supported my friend who took them. But they should at the very least be taken UNDER medical supervision! Even under medical supervision, they often cause problems or addiction, like Survivor's story illustrated, and the other person who shared the story of being prescribed Oxycontin. If after being screened by a doctor you are risking your life, imagine what you're doing by taking these back alley things.

Reba, since some of those pills are laxatives, some are amphetamines, and some are antidepressants, I think you'd probably do more damage by taking half the dosage. You could end up taking all the speed. I don't know, I say either don't take them, or if you really think you need a diet pill, go to a doctor.

Keep in mind there are a million alternatives out there - surgery, new diet, antidepressants, support groups. Just look into them. If you (general you, not just one person) want to take an appetite suppressant, you either don't want to change the way you eat (you wanna keep eating doughnuts, but having just a couple bites for weight loss) or you have a compulsive eating problem. If it is the first one, I think you need to realize that the current diet is making around 40% of the world obese or overweight, so "eating normally" is never gonna make you lose or maintain a decent weight. If it is the latter, you need psychological help, from a doctor and/or support group.

Peaches, please enlighten me on endocrinology. Some people have bodies that will only lose weight when they're on illegal drugs? What is that disorder called? Cause I call it "drug addiction".

This whole discussion sounds like that episode of "Fat Actress" where Kirstie Alley's brother wants to convince her to go on the crack diet for weight loss.

Jan, stop telling others what they should or should not do. It is up to each individual to decide what is best for himself or herself. What is up with this fear based manipulation? You don't want to take the "Brazilian Diet Pills" then don't. By the way, I found your analogies very entertaining. Now, quit trying to bully others into doing what YOU think is right with your alarmist opinions.

Liz, how are those pills working out for you?

Thank you chic. My thoughts exactly. As far as one of you saying that some of the people who are posting having issues--they are opinions--not issues within the person. We are definately all not in agreement. Most of these people IN MY OPINION who are advising us not to try these pills are right. They may work, they may make us thin, give us energy, ya da ya da ya da but you can't take them forever and you will gain it back. It probably isn't worth your health but man is it tempting. Re-read KiKi's entry. I am fighting with myself on whether or not I want to try them. I have about 60 pounds to take off. I will make you all who beg me not to do this a deal--find me something that will help me-in addition to exercise and eating right--I just need a little help in the fight. But for the record I appreciate everyones opinions. Now stop fighting

Ok Jam, and others who might be interested in another alternative. How about Hoodia? It fools the brain into thinking you are full. For myself and a few others I know, it takes away my desire to eat. And isn't that the culprit? Unless you have a psycological eating disorder, this might work for you. Chromium and Green Tea can help burn fat. Just not in massive amounts. I have been taking all of those and others in Trimspa. I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks...no exercise. But I was eating a lot of fresh fruit and veggies and chicken, when I did eat. I am excited to see how it continues to work. I am aware that it is not for everyone. But if you havent tried it, might be worth it. 39.00 for a months supply. Also Google Negative Calorie Diet. It provides you a list of fruits and veggies that take more calories to digest than they contain. It is very interesting, you should at least read it. I hope all of us get what we want out of life, to be happy.

I received an email from NYEmagreceSim letting me know they are out of the "Level 1" due to an influx of ordering. They are going to send me "Level 2" if I choose or they will refund my money and notify me when they receive Level 1 shipment.

To: All persons posting comments on this blog

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about taking supplements, diet pills, etc. I think that posting your opinion is what a blog is all about. However, making judgments (if you take those pills you are a drug addict) or telling people what to do (exercise, choose a different diet, go to a doctor or stop fighting)is not very effective and is one sure way to send someone in the other direction.

I'm not bullying anyone into doing anything Jam. These comments are for everyone to express their opinions, even when said opinions, like yours and Brazilian Pill Fan, involve breaking the law. So if I'm not questioning your right to advise others to break the law, maybe you should not question my right to an opinion. It is not your blog after all. Leave the moderating to the blog owner, or start your own.

Alotlikelucy, saying "if you take illegal pills you are a drug user" is not a judgement, it is a statement of a fact. "Drug" is the common term for "illicit substance". A pill that is obtained on the black market is an illicit substance. By using them, you are a drug user, and so is the crackhead and kid getting high. If you are not happy with this fact, write to your congressman.

You know what is a judgement? This quote from Peaches:

"All bodies are not created equal. Ben you are in idiot and know nothing about endocrinology. Keep quiet unless you are capable of saying something intelligent"

Ben doesn't endorse diet pills, and therefore that makes him incapable of intelligence, an idiot, and ignorant about endocrinology. The "idiot" part is more than a judgement, it is an insult.

Read any of my posts or of everyone else who discouraged diet pills. Try to find any judgement that says or implies that people taking diet pills are stupid, ignorant, or anything else. Nobody even made the most common judgement people tend to make about people who want to use a pill or have surgery for weight loss, that these people are lazy or have no will power! So all of you pill users should probably lay off whatever you're taking that is making you so testy, and stop being so sensitive. I believe in what I do for weight loss, and if people stop posting "diet and exercise don't work and they are bad for you", I'm not gonna get offended like you all did, I'm just gonna shrug it off because I know it works. I wonder what is it about taking diet pills that makes you all so touchy about any criticism.

start posting, not stop posting. I guess people who don't take diet pills must be prone to typos too.

Does anyone know if the www.braziliandiet.com Emagrece Thin product is valid?

Leslie W, are you joking?! You think it is that simple?! Don't you think people who are seriously commited to weightloss have not tried all of these things you mentioned? You have some nerve! You think people are just sitting on their butts hoping a pill/supplement will take the pounds off while they keep stuffing their faces. How many here are on a reduced caloric intake and are excercising 4 - 5 times a week and have not lost the weight? How man here have bellies due to the cortisol build up when stressing the body during work outs? It is so darn easy to talk out of your ass when you, personally, are not going through something. How successful has your weightloss regime been for you? A couple of you are still overweight (you know who you are) and yet you speak of how easily it is to lose weight by merely dieting and excercising. No wonder it has not worked for you.

jan, i think you must have misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't attacking you or anyone--just commenting that we are all intitled to our own opinions without the nasty, sharp feedback. jam

jan, I think that it was peaches (the bullying comment) that you meant to address not me. But I will say that I think crackhead was a bit excessive...jam

I called the number on the website WWW.NYEmagreceSim.com and the lady said that they would have some in 10 days. From the pictures in the ad it looks like the same product as on the website http://www.originalemagrecesim.com/home.html. If anyone knows if these are different, please let me know!

Thanks!!

Ladies, those of you who have already taken the pills and suffered the side effects can only do so much to alert these women of the consequences, they simply do not wish to listen. I treat my body like a temple, therefore I watch what I eat and work out 4 to 5 times a week. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't do this with the purpose of looking good but even more so, to live a longer and healthier life. That's what it's all about. Drugs will cause irreversable damage to your body, whether you want to believe it or not. Get up and get out ladies, move your bodies more, think about food less and if must eat in abundance, as much of you do but hate to amit it, then eat vegetables and organice foods. Stop taking the easy way out by popping pills, live your life to the fullest. I was training a pair of young girls, both 23 years old, both in fairly good shape. They came to me b/c they wanted lean muscle and definition. So we began a workout program along with an eating regimen and a month into the plan the girls were looking amazing. I advised the girls to bring thier cardio down to 4 hours a week and they told me that they were just too hyper and that the cardio helped them burn energy. I thought to myself, "how is it that these girls can do cardio 7 to 8 hours a week followed by weight training, endurance and isolated muscle work outs? The answer would soon come to me, Emagrece. When I found out I advised the girls to be very careful, I also told them that I had never resorted to taking diet pills to achieve my goals as well as all my previous clients. In the end the girls did as they pleased and one of them ended up in the hospital due to heart palpitations and the other quickly withdrew from the pills only to find herself in post state of depression. Ladies nothing in this life is free, and as adults, you should know that everything in this life is hard work.

Sorry for the confusion Jam, and my point about the crackhead was cleared. As in, they are equal from a legal standpoint, not from an addiction standpoint. A very small percentage of diet pill users will need rehab to quit the addiction, whereas almost all crackheads will. But the point was, both are buying illegal substances.

Peaches, I have had high cortisol from years of untreated hypothyroidism. I had to treat it with alternative medicine (high doses of vitamin C, other vitamin and mineral supplements) to make my metabolism ok. I also had to adjust thyroid hormones and diet to make my metabolism work at all, and treat PCOS, which again involved dietary restrictions and using metformin, which is a drug diabetics use. When you're not a diabetic, you have nasty side effects (gastrointestinal - not gonna go into detail), and some people get low blood sugar. I am one of the "lucky" ones, so I have to balance - not too much carb because it increases insulin resistance, not too little because of the low blood sugar. So I know that health problems that make weight loss harder and weight gain easier can discourage you.

I also had to be very strict about the foods I eat, and how much of them, to lose weight really slowly. It was very discouraging because it took me 1 year to lose the first 50lb, and then 2 years to lose the other 65lb, and you see people losing 50lb in 6 months, and they are just "sorta" dieting. I had to change my notions of diet and exercise, adding a bit more fat (too low fat messes with hormones, so no weight loss for me), and focusing on weight training instead of cardio, which is what works for most people. So I more than anyone believe there is no rule set in stone, no "calories in have to be smaller than calories out and you'll magically be thin!". Because for me, 1,700 calories of certain foods will make me maintain, and 2,300 of other foods will make me lose. Whatever answer you find, it has to be through experimentation and through what works for *you*. I just think that black market pills, while they may sound as harmless as taking echinacea, are the most dangerous of all alternatives one could try. There is all sorts of different diets and exercise programs, support programs, doctor-prescribed drugs, less-dangerous drugs like Leslie W. recommended, alternative medicine (to address metabolic issues), endocrinology (also to address metabolic issues), and even surgery (they have a new gastric thing where they put this origami-like thing in your stomach for 6 months and then remove it, and it is not as drastic as the bypass. They do this for people who are just obese and not morbidly obese) and not even the bypass is as dangerous as taking something that you have no idea what it really is.

Ladies, those of you who have taken the pills and achieved desired results can inform others on their benefits. "Girls...[blah blah blah]. Training...[Blah Blah Blah]." Anyone can call themselves a "Trainer" and feign expertise. Use your own wisdom and make your own choices.

Tulip and Brazilian Pill Fan,

I would like to get in touch with you. Please feel free to email me at Patrick.Oppmann@CNN.com or call me at 305-892-5100.

Thanks,

Patrick Oppmann
CNN Miami

I didn't see anyone claiming to be a trainer on this topic... The only person claiming to be anything is Patrick, claiming to be a journalist with CNN, but I tend to believe him.

So Star Personal Trainer, whose information here is not valid because they are claiming to be a trainer?

I lost 20 lbs in 2 months with diet and exercise. I now weigh 125. I do not take themm any more. I have no gained weight either, for the fact that I eat healthy and exercise 5-6 times a weeks.

Just a reminder once you get off these pills or any pill for that matter you will gain your weight back if you do not eat healthy and exercise.

The website I gave earlier in the blog is delayed in shipment and I have no ordred from their in months, I get then from a woman to goes directly to Brazil.

The normal cost is $180-$220

It comes with 2 bottles, one yellow and one orange and a cellulite gel.

The first week you take one of each color once a day in the morning, after the first week you take both colors twice a day.

As far as I felt with them, I had no side effects. I slept fine, I did not have any jitters, You actually get hungry but feel full after a couple of bites.

I suggest you read the ingredients on the label of the link I gave.

Hope this helps

Has anyone noticed that Brazilian Pill Fan had only one entry and then never heard from again? Maybe the pills got the best of her.

Wow.. this is the first I have heard of this stuff. I am reading all of these blogs and I just cant believe what I am reading. I feel both sides and maybe thats why I too am torn. I am 5'6" 130 lbs. Size 6 now. Before I had my second baby (which I gained 75lbs with BOTH kids)I was a model in NYC. I have moved away and gone on but I look at old pictures and even THEN I still thought I was fat. I could be 80lbs and never feel sexy enough-and after 12 years together,I have the best husband that thinks I am HOT. Its really overall a matter of how you can find a balance. Its a struggle and I sympathize BOTH sides. I am trying to get back to my old size again for not only do I love being attractive, I love having my husband find me attractive. Its hard to do when you are fat. For those of you who do take these pills (I would if I had the $ right now) all I hope is that you do it as healthy as you can, and start mentally telling yourself you are beautiful. Its amazing when you can start telling yourself things and then start to believe it. For those who are against taking it, try not to be so judgemental. Good luck everyone and remember that you only live once so live like today was your last day.

I am interested in taking the Brazilian Diet Pill but i want to make sure they are the correct ones. I do understand the risk but those same risk were spread with the Phen Phen pill and i took that for a month and a half and lost 30 pounds. I did keep the weight off and only gained it back after the birth of my last son. i do watch what i eat and i exercise 3 times a week. i have noticed that as i have gotten older my metabolism has slowed and i am just looking for something to boost it. i would appreciate anyone who has had results from these pills to give me the contact information so i can try them out. Thank you.

Jam, Please do everyone a favor and stop shoving your self-righteous b.s. down everyones throat. I am sure you use this as an outlet because your friends and family don't pay attention to you anymore and that humors me.
On the other hand, I need to get these pills ASAP-can anyone please validate the above web addresses or suggest another, thanks

I am having a hard time figuring out if the correct web site is herbathin.com or braziliandiet.com????? Can someone please confirm the correct site?

the official website for the pill is emagresim-labs.com....ive ebought my pills from them for 5 months now...lost 56 lbs.i get no jitters or no side effects.only dry mouth and alot of trips to the bathroom.lol.its awesome

To all in need of real proof of the diet pill. as posted before emagresim-labs.com is the official website. when there is something that says emagrece slim thats teh bad one. dont buy it. my friend bought hers from the mall for 80 bucks. they are not the good ones.

I REPEAT EMAGRECESIM-LABS.COM IS THE CORRECT WEBSITE

I must be living under a rock!!!! People have been taking this for years???? Well!! I'm going to order some and see how it goes. It can't be any worse than what most woman do to themselves to shed those extra pounds.

NO ONE OUT THERE REALLY GIVES A STRAIGHT ANSWER AS
TO WHAT WEB SITE TO GO TO TO ORDER THE ORIGINAL PILL.

Herbathin is just another version of emagrece sim.
That was my understanding from the Today Show and just doing a bit of research

Go to originalemagrecesim.com. Hope that helps.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER BLOGGED AND JUST WANTED TO SAY I'LL GIVE THEM A TRY. EVEN THOUGH I AM AN RN, I AM 100 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT AND THIS IS MY LAST EFFORT BEFORE GASTRIC-BYPASS SURGERY. YOU ARE ALL ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINION,AS AM I. AND LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM A TRY

Nelly, are there over vendors distributing the same exact product? Why is Herbathin being sold in that one site? Did anyone buy that one, yet? I ordered from www.nyemagrecesim.com they have the ones that just say "emagrece sim." I agree to say away from the ones that say "emagrece slim" because they seem fake.

The last site mentioned is "under maintenance." Is there any other way to get into the site's ordering page?

Glad we both agree. First time blogger myself. But I'm with you on this one. As adults we need to make our own decisions and live with them. I'm sure Ive done worse things to my body in my struggle to maintain my weight. I've put on 30 pounds in the last 4 yrs..... 5'5 154

Put the address in as a search(google) e.g and you will be redirected. just got off of the site.

"jam, Please do everyone a favor and stop shoving your self-righteous b.s. down everyones throat. I am sure you use this as an outlet because your friends and family don't pay attention to you anymore and that humors me.

KRISTIN--I don't know what you are talking about if you are referring to my entries. If you are referring to jan's entries then that is between the two of you but I hope you realize that jan and jam are two different people. If this is how people are going to talk to each other then I am done with this blog. Good luck to all.

emagrecesim-labs.com this site is not working.
