My opionions and whatever other insane idea I think of
Published on July 13, 2005 By msladydeath In Diet
Alrighty, I'm starting a new "diet". Ok, So actually it's a diet pill so I don't think it really counts as a diet.

Day 1 Starting Weight.... 226. pant size is Mens 40 (I don't where womens jeans, I don't find them comfortable or flattering, I have an odd frame)

So my diet pill of choise is called Equitrim and since I can find nothing about it on the net, I'll post what I can about it for other that may be intrested. Then if any doctors have oppinions on this, or anyone else for that matter, it can be posted here, and people considering this can see them and make a more educated desision than I did.

Product name: Equitrim

Company name: Equitrim Institute

Now all women have the chance to slim and stay slim.... with only 4 tablets and nothing more Equitrim! The Brazilian Secret is at last available to all. The Discovery of the Century! A single Equitrim tablet enables you to lose up to 6 lbs in 5 days. It's proven! No dieting... No drugs... No effort... No itredness.... Not a thing to do! (Note: This is straight off the ad and not my opinion, I don't know if it works yet, that's what I'm trying to find out *L*)

Continue to drink lots of water. During the following 4 days it is important to drink at least one large bottle of water per day. We cecommend two large bottles of water (32 fl. oz) a day. On the 6th day of treatment you begin the process again by adding one tablet to a large bottle of water. Continue these instructions until you have attained your disired weight.

That's actually about all the info I have about it.

So like I said, i just started it today, in my opinion, the tablet makes the water taste horrible, so I drank it as fast as I could and chased it with another bottle of water *L* I haven't felt tired or anything today, I have felt just fine, no headaches, tummy aches, abnormal strange things anywhere. I would say I was sweating a little more than normal, but I was also working harder than normal so that's not unusuall either.

I will post as often as I can about my progress, wish me luck! And yes, I'm going to chat with my doctor about this soon.

I started mine today. I didn't mind the taste. To me it tasted a bit like lemon but sort of an icky sweet taste. By the time I got to the last 8 oz. I was more than tired of the taste though. It is Thanksgiving and what a day to start it. I absolutely did not want to eat. I only need to lose about 24 lbs, so I really hope this works. It doesn't say anything about men using it. Is it ok for men. My hubby wanted to try it.

It doesn't specify that it's just for women. Therefore, I would imagine it's for anybody. I just never drank it again because I do hate the taste. I've kept off the 5 lbs I lost, but I think that's due to exercise. I ought to drink it again and see if I lose 5 more. If I do, I'll give an update.

This is my day 4 of drinking my Equitrim. I must say contrary to all the messages in this site, I am satisfied with it. I have yet to weigh myself which I will do tomorrow in my weight watchers meeting. Lately I have only been losing 1-2 lbs. a week. So if my weigh in jumps to more than that, which I'm not expecting 24lbs, however I think I should at least lose 5-6 I hope. If that occurs than I can attribute that to the Equitrim. I have had so much energy, it's amazing. I did all my week end house chores with no effort. At work I'm ready to go with what ever obstacles I run into during my hectic day.

I will update this Wednesday to advise how much was my weight loss at tomorrow weigh in. PS - For those that did not like the slight lemon task. He's a little trick, instead of putting you tablet in a 32 oz, jug. Get an empty 64 oz bottle of juice and drink that throughout the day. The taste is almost nothing, and after the first day or two, you will get used to it. I always fill my glass with ice, and it taste great to me.

Well, I'll email you guys Wednesday... Wish me luck!!!!!! You can email me @ nycutie120@yahoo.com

I must have missed something.... After the first day or two? The instructions I have is to take one tablet, once ever 5-6 days, not everyday. Also, are you sure you can't attribute the weight loss and energy just to the fact that you are drinking so much water/juice everyday?

I double checked, the instructions clearly state, no more than 1 tablet every 5 days. I do hope that you are taking it right, especially since we don't know what health concerns there may be. Good luck.

Don't buy it. It's junk. I finished my 4 tablets and was following my weight watchers diet. Of course sometimes I would cheat a bit, but no enough to hurt it too much. I didn't expected 24lbs, but I was hoping maybe a 5-6lbs loss. When I weighed in last night I gained 1 pound. So no it doesn't work it's like they say.... there is no miracle pill. Eat right, don't eat too late in the evening, and try to make time for either an early or evening walk. Best thing is if you can invest in a treadmill. Best of luck God Bless, Happy Holidays!!!!

LOL, Linda, that was pretty funny.  I think this article pretty much proves that it shouldn't be purchased.

thank you for giving this information.

I did drink my 4th pill and didn't lose the extra 5 that I thought would be nice if I did. I have 4 more, but I will not waste my time on this stupid stuff anymore. I'm confident the weight loss I've had is due to exercise. I have a work out buddy and we get together a few times a week and do a work out video, now that it's too cold outside to go walking. We go to the library and rent different videos to give us a variety. We always look forward to see what our "new workout" is going to be. Good luck everybody! Happy Holidays!

My husband and I both are (were) on it for 2 bottles. Dedicated to it, in fact. We each lost 3 lbs. the first 4 weeks so guess we're not doing something right.

Well, I had gotten this Equitrim flyer also and after reading these comments about it and not being able to find their own personal website; I believe I will not order it. Thanks for all the helpful info; I just wish it would've really worked. It seems like all these diet pills just seem to give people false hope and I don't believe that is right. For someone who really needs to lose weight; it's like a game for the people who come up with this crap. Anyways, I'm not ordering it; I'll just try walking and eating right!

Thanks Marisa, I'm so glad this helped you.

N Stoddard, I do hope to hear if it made a difference for you.
