Blackmores Metabolism Advantage

Worked OK but unfortunately gave me heart palpitations – I needed to kick-start my metabolism after putting on a great deal of weight after coming off the pill (couldn't fit into my jeans after only one month!!). I gave this product a go for about 2 weeks and it seemed to go OK - I felt less sluggish, more active, felt lighter (don't know if I lost any weight as I don't weigh myself, but overall… Read more

seemed to look better).

Unfortunately after a week I got some terrible heart palpitations that seemed to get worse and worse (about 2-3 an hour). I stopped taking the tablets all together and the palpitations went on for a few more days after that until they went all together.

I have no pre-existing health problems, nor any heart condition.

I would suggest that Blackmores put a warning on this product, as I imagine it could be quite dangerous if someone actually did have any heart problems. Gave me energy, stopped feeling so sluggish Gave me heart palpitations

Beat the Bloat !! – Pro's of this product: I feel its really helped me lose weight as I haven't done any major exercise, beats the bloat (no longer look 20weeks pregnant) and I actually feel more energetic in work, less sluggish and fatiqued. Con of this product: Every time I eat I need the toilet :( I get the rumbles and cramps and I need to go there and… Read more

then straight away, sometimes even after a cup of tea! Annoys me when Im in the middle of eating or in work. I have been going the toilet (for no.2) at least 6 times per day other than the usual once.

My story:

I'm 5"4 / 23 years / Female - always been between 50-53kg (110-116lbs) so very slim and naturally small build.

lived on a family farm for 3 months - the roast dinners, huge home made meals all day every day took its tole.. I went up to 59kg for the first time ever (which I know is not obese by any means! but still not normal for me as I have always been very small) My body felt sluggish, fatiqued and really bloated and I felt like I had poisened my body with unhealthy foods.

So I am pleased to say I have lost 5kg (11bs)in 5 weeks :D that's since I have been home from the farm and without doing any major exercise..

I have one treat day a week where I eat lots (helps that I dont eat the aussie chocolate as im English so usually my treat is a huge fatty meal - like Mcdonalds or a full english breakfast and and an apple pie for desert)

**I have learnt to eat only til I am satisfied and not eating til I am hurting like I was doing. I am eating little and often - lots of fresh fruit and veg and having every meal with salad or veg, and the weight has just dropped off. with regards to carbs and calories - I am not bothered about all that crap. Cut out as much processed food as you can, I still eat wholemeal rice, bread, potatoes, its more about portion size and eating/pairing it with more fresh food and less processed and it does the trick!

It could be a mixture of both tablets and eating very very healthily. Not sure but either way I am losing the weight without exercise so I'm not and won't be complaining !!!!! xxx more energy, less bloating. Bad tummy, needed the toilet at least 6 times per day!!!!!

Good – I really like this product. I have been on a weight loss plan for 9 weeks now and have lost 10kg.For 10 days in the middle I stopped taking MA and lost no weight.The rumbling tum is something I can live with for the sake of getting into better physical health. The cost I thought was okay compared to gym membership or weight loss club membership.… Read more

You still need to work at it though and hopefully I have made significant and sustainable lifestyle changes that I can maintain when I reach my goal weight in about 3kg and stop the medication. Boosts energy,reduces hunger and supports nutritional wellbeing whilst on weight loss diet. I often missed lunchtime dose. Some rumbles in the gut.

Good – I have been using the product for a week now, I hope its not too early to give an opinion, but so far I am happy with the results. I have lost over a kilo, and I feel alot healthier (after the initial bloating went away). I take the tablets just before I eat and I am finding that I am feeling quite full after eating about half as much as I would… Read more

normally in a meal. I only want to lose 4 kilos, but thought that the metabolism advantage sounded like it had alot more benefits than a weight loss pill, I dont excercise alot - I go to the gym 1-2 times per week, but only 1 time this week and I have a desk job so I dont do a great deal of excercise, and I am not on a diet with this pill I am eating normally. Its also helped me be alot more "regular" if you are after some assistance that way. Overall - so good so far! Makes me feel full

Have lost a kilo so far Gave me a bloated stomach for the first few days

Amazing product! Really does work – I have been on a weight loss mission for the past 16 months. A very slow road, 17kg in 17 months. I started on these tablets after I just got tired of it all taking so long, I decided I needed a "boost" 5 days later I have lost 2.5kg. I have energy, my chocolate cravings are gone & I generally feel happier. I can't believe the diffrence in the way I feel, let alone the weight loss!

Good – After only three days, all is great. Have had no side affects. Feeling better but haven't seen weight loss in this short time. It's only been three days but effects started day one. Hunger and cravings have disappeared. I'm feeling more energetic and cheerful. It's giving me a psychological boost to be more active with exercise and diet. Nothing. I keep one foil pack at home and one in my bag.

Excellent – This is a fantastci product. I wanted to loose maybe 5 kilos and after a week have easily lost 2-3. I'm super energetic and going to the gym everyday and my concentratuion is improved with little to zero chochloate cravings at 3pm. (My usual binge time). I absoluately love this product. I love this product. I can't rave about it enough. It… Read more

makes you much more energetic, stops sugar cravings and makes you feel fuller. - I find it harder to fall asleep.

- My stomach would rumble like crazy just after a meal and some bloating/diarreah/cramping

Good – This product is pretty good. I started taking it as I found my metabolism slowed whilst dieting which affected my weight loss also I was adverse to eating due to dieting. It reminded me to eat at regular intervals (as you must take it 30 mins before eating) and also provides some vitamins. It helps keep your metabolism up, which does cause you to… Read more ·  3

day). I I got so much fun by exercising a lot - step climbing everyday instead of using elevator, brisk walking during weekend, and cardio dancing once every two days within this week. This product helps me maintain my energy although I eat less and workout more. Boost my energy level, no food cravings.

Terrible – Made me feel sick almost straight away and bloated, and I was a lot hungrier than normal. If you are exercising and eating well I don't think this woudl help you at all Makes you hungry

Good – I like this product and would recommend to anyone. I achieved weightloss and felt that this made a noticeable difference. Not only did it make me feel good, but it offered the suport I needed to reduce bingeing and snacking and improve my diet. It reduced my appetite also. Good stuff. Definitely increased my energy levels and reduced my cravings. I found it much easier to control what I ate whilst on this and lost 5 kilos in one month.
