I have taken Palumbo's fat burners for a little more than a week now. I took most of the doses, maybe missed a few of them here and there. And I took two before bed every night.

I had some pretty major stomach problems this last week, and that's really the only thing that changed about my diet. I think I'm very sensitive to new stuff, and I'd never taken usnic acid before. It wasn't a pleasant week, but I did manage to lose some body fat. I'm also dieting and training very hard, so it's difficult to say if the fat burners worked.

The other side effect I experienced is that I had to go to the bathroom ALOT (I'm talking about peeing )... I think they must have a diuretic effect, so drink alot of water if you take them. I experience this with thyrotabs too.

Right now, I'm 12 weeks out from the North Americans, and then Nationals is 12 weeks after that. I think for the NA's, I am going to start Third Degree Burn at 8 weeks out, and then add the thyrotabs for the last 5-6 weeks. I may take Palumbo's fat burner for Nationals prep since I'll have to switch it up, but I'm going with the ole' faithful for the NAs.

Oh man I was worried something would happen

I hope you are ok and don't go too crazy dieting for the show, you are always beautiful.

Well, the stomach problems have subsided, and I have enough to take it for another 4-5 days, so I will finish out what I have. I also took a dose of Cytolean yesterday (I hadn't taken any stimulants for most of the week), and I really like that stuff. Thumbs up on the Cytolean.

Anyone got any opinions on or experience with Yohimbe/yohimbine?

I'll look up some info on it when I have more time. All I know is that when I take anything that includes it, I can feel my heart beating in my throat.

Would taking one Lipo6X capsule at 8am give me insomnia? The last 3 days I've taken one capsule at ~8am and have not been able to get to sleep until past midnight

Hmmmmm.... it is doubtful that taking one cap at 8 AM would cause that problem unless you are not used to ANY sort of stimulant in the morning. Do you drink coffee or take in caffeine regularly? I usually find that I am OK to sleep at night as long as I take the stimulants before lunch, or early afternoon at the latest...but I am a coffee drinker, so I am used to caffeine in the morning. I actually depend on it!

I did take one capsule of something yesterday with some yohimbe in it (just trying it out), but I took it at 4 PM and had a REALLY hard time falling asleep last night. I was up until after midnight too, despite being totally exhausted.

No STella I doubt it, you maybe just to much on your mind.
I am sensitive to stims and found other than a bit of nausea LIPO6 did not freak me out.
But one ECA tab could freak me out for a day or two

What's the stimulant in Lipo 6 anyway?

Synephrine HCL 20mg
Yohimbine HCL 3g

Are the 2 stims

Well that's some potent stuff. I suppose it could be possible, although 8 AM is pretty early to take it and have problems, esp just one cap. But not out of the question.

Butterbean · « **Reply #89 on:** June 12, 2008, 03:40:39 PM »

Thanks for the info everyone!

I drink about 2 mugs of coffee each morning.

I didn't take one today...we'll see what happens.

I changed my mind. Yes, I think it can affect your sleep, even at 8 AM. I took ONE redline fat burner the other morning (the dose is up to 3), and I haven't been able to get to sleep for the last two nights. Seriously! I think it's the yohimbine.

I'm off the stimulants for a little while. 11 weeks out right now, and I am going to try to stay away from the stimulants for a couple weeks (other than coffee of course) and then cycle the Gaspari products. I'm still taking Palumbo's fat burner (Jenny gave me a lot of it...I will be out after this weekend), and I think I like it.

Are you "Nancy's" kidding!??!?!?!?!?!?(we used to pop straight ephedrine like M &M 's ....blow lines and get to sleep no problem!) you guys take a "weak" non- ephedrine and can't sleep for days?!?!?!?LOL!

hahahaha I KNOW...I'm such a wuss.

My trainer makes fun of me all the time because I have been known to party (MAYBE once or twice in my lifetime

), but I act like a total baby when it comes to stimulant-based fat burners.
We used to pop ephedrine like candy when we would go out drinking (remember mini-thins?

), but now I get totally sick to my stomach and can't sleep for days if I take one.

Is that why you are posting at weirds hours of the day and night

Jokes aside Eph gave me anxiety attacks, I got Eph rage and could not sleep for days sometimes just lying in bed trembling after a single dose

Not these days lol... unfortunately, I think I just go to bed too late and get up too early!

Eph makes me puke, straight up. I tried the Vasopro for contest prep in 2005... 25 mg in the morning, 25 mg after lunch. I felt HIGH as a kite for the entire first day, and then I started throwing up by the second dose on the second day. It took me about 3 days to recover, and that was the end of that!

i got a couple free samples of it at the olympia, tried them out.

I did actually feel it, I had tons of energy and felt good, but I only took it for 2 days cos thats all the samples i had. but from what ive been told, it wears off after a few days, and most people arent too happy with it.

OK, I'm pretty sold on Palumbo's fat burner! I've been on it for about 3 weeks or a little more now... almost every dose, I may have missed a few here and there. I don't feel any side effects from it other than some dehydration... I have to pee ALOT more when I am on it, so I am trying to drink more too. The non-stimulant nature of this product is a major PLUS.

It's always hard to say for sure what influences what, and I have been training harder and dieting harder in the last three weeks too (went to double cardios more than a week ago), but I have definitely gotten much leaner in the last three weeks than I did in the 4 or 5 weeks prior to taking it. So I'm giving it my endorsement. I would say that it has been quite effective, given that I am not taking any other fat-burning products right now. I did take some stimulant-based fat burners here and there (mostly the mornings when I was really dragging ass), but I've been trying to avoid those too for the time being.

I talked to Palumbo, and he's giving me a nice deal on the product, so I have agreed to take it for this prep. He suggests that I just stay on it right now through my entire prep, but I'm not sure if I will do that or not at this point, and I am not sure what I will do if I continue to prep through till Nationals in November. I may take a couple weeks off after this week and then pick it up again at 8 weeks out for the rest of my current prep...although I am not sure if there is any benefit to taking a couple weeks off. I just hate getting on these kinds of things far out from the show (although I guess 10 weeks isn't that far out, if I decide to do the NA's) because then I get too nervous to drop them out before the show, and I end up staying on them longer than I originally wanted to. $:-\$

I just found a great one- im such a fat burner snob, if i dont feel that warm "rush" feeling ( i like the jitters! ) i wont take it, i dont feel like its working....Fastin Phentermine works great! Its Ephedra free, but has enough caffine and other ingredients for you to feel amped up if thats what you like- like me!
