Emagrece Sim: Warning

I have been pro and con both about getting in on the Emagrace bandwagon. Of course, this ad gives me a big red light. I have been overweight just about all my life and I admit that I am looking for that "magic pill" but I doubt there really is one. Should I be a risk taker and buy Emagrace? After all, being this fat is taking a risk with my life. Still undecided. I just had to think out loud.

They are known as Brazilian diet pills, promising to help you lose unwanted pounds fast by speeding up your metabolism.

But doctors warn if you take them you may lose more than just weight, like some south Florida women who found out when they failed pre-employment drug tests.

Carolina Siervo discovered what she calls a miracle weight loss system, Brazilian diet pills.

Siervo says she lost 60 pounds in only four months. Although the label says the pills are all natural, there are some variations that contain illegal amphetamines.

At least four unsuspecting women taking the diet pills failed pre-employment drug tests at Baptist Health South Florida.

Thomas Moore, Corporate Director of Employment Health Services sent the pills the women were taking to a lab to be analyzed.

"In most of them it was amphetamines, we found a drug called Diazepam which is a Valium," Moore said.

Despite the potential dangers, the pills could still be purchased on the Internet for up to $200 for a month's supply.

Siervo is happy with results so far and has no plans to stop taking the pills.

In the past, the FDA has rejected dietary supplements from the Brazilian diet pill manufacturer, Emagrece, because of misbranded nutrition labels.

There are some variations of Brazilian pills that are not considered dangerous, but doctors warn based on the label it is difficult to tell which ones are dangerous and which ones are not.

The Miami Herald newspaper attempted to contact Emagrece, but they could not be reached in Brazil.

People taking the pills take two pills a day, one in the morning and one at night. It is suspected that the pills taken in the morning contain amphetamines, and the pills taken at night contain tranquilizers.

Dear readers,

Like everyone else I have always been skeptical about diet pills until I saw real results on two close friends. One lost about 18 pounds and the other about 24. So I decided to go on them as well. In four months I lost 22 pounds. I had blood work done and my results were negative. All values were within range. However, not sure whether the urinalysis tested for drugs, since my lab work was no employment related. My friends reported getting somewhat "fidgety and having excess energy" while taking the pills. I did not feel these effects. To me it was like taking nothing. The pills will suppress your hunger to the point that you have to make yourself eat; otherwise you will get a headache, and this is when you make the decision to eat the right foods to aid in your weight loss goal. I don't want to advise anyone to take them since there are always risks associated with these kinds of pills. I have no pre-existing conditions and they worked for me. I feel very good. I see this "pill-taking" thing as a "one-time/action combo deal". In other words, you take the pills and as you are loosing weight you excercise (walk/weights/sport), you eat right and when you meet your goal you continue to excercise and eat right; and you do not touch these pills ever again!!!

As for me I prefer not to try losing weight any more by using any pills stronger than multiple vitamins. Been there, done that, with them all in the past. I tried every pill available with some results but never enough to suit me or fast enough. It developed into an obsessive compulsive habit and I began to take more than the directions suggested. My system became tolerant and the next thing I knew I was on amphetamines. I don't want to go there, other than to say, don't take a stimulating pill for losing weight. Now I have to stay away from any sort of triggers that will plunge me into an addictive state. You say it won't happen to you but is it worth taking that chance? When you take anything to alter your natural body chemicals, you are not your natural self anymore and don't know how you will respond until it is too late. That was just my opinion but it probably would be a safe and healthy thing to do if you first check with your primary physician.

I'm really tired of the fear mongering that goes on over diet pills. Ephedra was taken off the market not because it was dangerous....it was taken of the market because it worked. If ephedra was dangerous they would have also taken pseudophed off the market too since they are basically the same thing.

I would try these pills in a minute of I could get my hands on them. I would just start off by taking a very small amount and see how I feel. Then I would gradually wean myself off of them from time to time.

Being 50 pounds overweight is a lot more dangerous and life threatening than these pills.

Of course there are real results - they are amphetamines. Taking speed will certainly make you lose weight.

I think that there is a big difference between taking ephedra, which was regulated when it was marketed in the US, to taking back alley illegal imported pills. The issue here is not them being Brazilian - I'm Brazilian, it is not one of those "everything foreign cannot be trusted" things. These pills are not manufactured legally here. We have laws about Fenproporex, Prozac, Librium - they can only be prescribed and manufactured with special blue prescriptions, and you need all your documents to get them, there is a follow up on them, etc. I've been prescribed Prozac so I know what a pain it is, it is not like it is candy. So for these people to be manufacturing these pills and selling huge amounts to the US, they are either stealing the compounds or cooking them without any sort of control. God only knows what is really in these pills, or how much of it in each or in each batch. It is not like illegal drug dealers tend to care about these "minor details".

I have taken these pills and know plenty of people on it who are very happy with the results. Many of these people also took ephedra way back when and they are much happier with the emagrece sim. While I do find it a tad bit frightening that these pills could contain lord knows what, I hope that there is a way that it will become legally available in the US, as it has been quite helpful for me.

I have been trying to find consumer reviews from users that have taken Emagrece Sim. I have only found testimonials but they might be biased since they were posted on Emegrece Sim's website. Anyone know of any consumer reviews that they have come across?

I too have been searching....There are so many sites on the brazilian diet pills... does anyone know which one are the natural pills from Brazil?

This pills are the bestttttttttttttttttttttt ever!!!

I hope that there is a way that it will become legally available in the US

Love YOU EMAGRECE SIM THANKS ..GRACIAS OBRIGADA..

60 POUNS LESS AND COUNTING........LAS AMOOOOOOOOOO..

Does anyone know where I can buy them pills I bought some off ebay and they were in the bigger bottles I have seen the little bottles which i think are the real ones. Does anyone know which ones is the real one and where I can buy it at and how much?

Alex, where did you order the pills from?
There's just way too many sites out there.
I found one site but when I went back to it to order it was closed...

This is all bussiness and so many companies in the U.S. are getting hurt by emagrese sim. It is also true there are fake one. My wife lost 25 pounds in 45 days and I lost almost. She was very strict with the diet I was not.
What happened with viox? FDA approved. Bull .... Alcohol is worst and everybody get drunk.

Viva emagrese sim

taker or alex I need to buy the real emagrece sim do you know where i can buy it at?

I am still having a hard time finding the real thing. Many sites show "product not availavle" or "closed".

Please tell me which ones are the real thing, I don't have much money to waste on fakes but desperately need to lose weight, I am extremely depressed about my weight, it is affecting my sex life, relationships and everything else you can think of...

I tried these pills, I got them from a friend in Miami. I was on them for a month and although I had no 'odd' side affects, I didn't lose 1 pound. I am 6'1", 192 lbs.
I am concerned that there could be illegal ingrediants in these pills, but I also an sick of the crummy diet pills the U.S. companies have out there. I lost 15 pounds when Epehdra was legal. It was the only thing that worked for me.

im not overweight but i once tried stackers epehdra free and went on the 3 day diet (which u lose 10lbs in 3days) it bleady worked aswell iv tried the 3 day diet with out the pills but didnt really work but anyways i was on the pills for a month and i lost nearly a stone but then people kept saying i look underweight, im not myself no more ect, so anyways eventually came of them and im glad i did but anyways i bet it has caffine in it and if it does then dont drink any caffine ect as it says you will have serval side affects including stroke heart attack i did drink coke and had seriously bad stomach aches anyhow yeah ba bye xx plus you will gain weight once you get of the diet pills you will gain it all back theres no small print on these magical pills

There are no "real ones", people. They are all illegal and unregulated. The only way to know if the ones you got have "real amphetamines" in them is to take a drug test. If you fail, yours are the "real ones".

Some of my friends have tried emagrece sim. It's actually very, very good and you CAN lose weight if you remember to take the pills when you have to and to definitely eat 3 times a day (light meal at night). I had to stop taking them in mid-stride because I had to take antibiotics and that's a no-no with emagrece, but my friend has already lost 12 lbs and her friend has lost 36. There are no problems with these pills other than the fact that somebody isn't taking their "cut." If anyone out there lives in a big city, you know that I'm talking about. That and the fact that the lobbyists for the farmaceutical companies won and the consumers lost.

has ayone tried herbathin? they say they are the same as emagrece thin..

I took them.I had good results,but not great.taken level 1,and 2. I feel they are perfectly safe. they work,as long as I remember to take them. I just kept forgetting,that's why they weren't great. 3veryone I know who takes them,loves them. Doubt they have amphetimenes in them. The FDA just isn't making enough money off them!

Jo, you don't think that the people who are smuggling them into the country, and the websites selling them are taking their "cut"? In fact, I'm sure it is a larger cut than in anything manufactured legally, since they don't pay taxes etc. It is a big business just the same, or do you think those ads in Yahoo! come cheap? How are they different from big pharmaceutical companies? You talk as if these businesses selling Emagrece Sim were nice little non-profits.

It will be good to know what are their ingredients & side effects...

It will be good to know what are their ingredients

I took the pills for 1 month and lost 12 lbs. I did not feel nervous or agitated like I have before when taking Diet Fuel or other pills. I actually felt great and my ability to concentrate and get things done at work improved.

can anyone tell me how i can order this pills all websites i have been are closed.

you can find them selling on ebay but you must type in emagrece sim in the search bar.

Hello. I'm also considering to try the Emagrece Sim pills. I did some research and found that there is a site called emagrecethin.com which sells their product for $99 and on ebay you can get them in different levels for different prices. What's the difference? Which ones should I go for...can anyone help?

I think it's okay to that something like adipex for a short period but these brazilian diet pills have fen not phen, that's a huge difference. It was fen that was found to be the cause of trouble, and that was why it was banned. There have been two other weight loss bans in the past too one starts with a "d" and it too had the same trouble as fen. If u want the pills with safer results get the freaking phen. Meridia is now bad cause it seems it too has shown itself to be like fen. Phen has been in the market for a long time and from the looks of it seems better than the others, but u can't take it longer than 3 months, and it's better to only take it for about 1 month.

I got level one from NY web site, and then level three from Lab website. neither of which are open now! I lost 12 pounds, no bad side effects....feel great. but almost finished with the second order. does anyone have any anywhere???? Hate to finally find something that works, and not be able to get it anymore! help!!!!

I have been taking the brazilian diet pills from the NY site since December 11 and have gone from 138 lbs to 103 lbs. in like two months. I use to take ephedra and fill all jittery and felt like I hadd ADD, however the emegrece sim pills don't make me feel like I'm on anything, they actually make you feel happy if anything. Now that the site is closed that I did order from I"m not sure where to go. I"m sure sometime soon once this thing with the FDA simmers down there will be a new website selling these pills again illegally.

I could get emagrece sim because i know someone who bought a big shipment before they closed the lab but the price is 300.00 and most probably i will have some on monday 2/6/06 u could contact me at 305-609-3431 after monday and tell me where u saw the ad.

I just read on a local news magazine that police shut down 3 labs here in Brazil where Emagrece Sim and Herbathin are manufactured, cause like I'd said and nobody had believed me, *it is not legal to produce amphetamines and antidepressants to sell OTC* here in Brazil. So good luck to anyone interested in getting "the real ones" now, it seems like it will become much much harder.

I had level 3 and 4. I'm still taking level 4. I lost 12 pounds. No side effects except thirsty and going to the bathroom a lot. I think it its wrong for the FDA to take these away. Finally SOMeTHING that works. I will go at great lengths to get the stabilizer

Something that works is fine but why don't u just buy phen instead of ingesting the dangerous fen. U can buy that stuff on a street corner or across any border or online. At, least that stuff is safe and it's the same damn thing, its an amphet. Buy the Prozac across or online too and it will cost about the same, maybe cheaper than the levels.

What about the ones that are being sold on E bay?

the ones on ebay are not "real pills" I am in Miami ad buy the ral ones still from a very select few that bought a ton when it started to get hard to get them into he usa... its not just about getting the bottle that looks like the "real" bottle, which is a short and fat bottle, but also the "real" box is not only orange and blue... the "real" box has a lot of white and some blue and orange writing and also has a blue line that twists in the middle to make a circle... if u go to the sight which belongs to the maker in Brazil which is www.emagrece.com.br (u have to put the .br after the .com) u will see what the real box looks like.

has anyone tried the new product that is on the originalemagecesim.com website? It is called Slimwell Brazilian Diet.
