Zantrex-3 and alcohol [thanks in advance] [pills]
I started trying Zantrex 3 and I want to drink regularly. not all the time or every night, but often. as if im bbqing, or fishing or hanging out with people. I was just wondering if I should not take the pills that day, or if I just it may take for lunch that day, or if there is no problem to hand all.
thanks op.
Reply:Ahh..gotcha your point-sorry for getting on my "soapbox"-I didn't see where u were coming from
Then I definitely wouldn't take any at all on Friday if you are going to drink friday nite-I would probably take Saturday off-just to get my system clear & get lots of H2O, then resume on Sunday-fresh, I found out with the non ephreda products I actually had to take some days off in between to feel the effects again, I chose that over increasing the dosage….again sorry about misunderstanding the question. Best of luck! :bouncing:Reply:mom-of-2, thats good to know. ill make sure to up the dosage on a weekend and not on a work day. the bottle does say that exact think might happen. luckly i do work our regularly.
nicki125, i think you missed the point of my question. as for the calories involved in alcohol, i know that it is loaded with them (between 70 and 120 per beer, aprox.) and its the kind that goes stait to the spare tire around my waist. zantrex-3 claims no dieting is needed, im putting that theory to the test. if i stop drinking then im changing my diet. i also was using an ephedra diet product, ripped fource (when it still had ephedra in it), and i thought the stuff worked great, i lost around 30lbs in less than 3 month. as for any side affect, i stopped using it after i lost the weight. but ive only put on 15lbs since then(over 3 years). but like i said, i do exersice.
just so it clear, im not intending to take the pills right before i have a beer. i guess my question would be better put like this: if im going to have a few drinks friday night, should i not take the pills at all on friday, or should i just not take them before dinner?
Reply:you may want to be careful w/ zantrex-3 it has a big side effect that scared me…. after a week of taking the pills I uped to dosage like it said to 2 in the morning instead of 1 and after 10 min I got a rash on my entire upper body it felt like my temperature was rising so I looked in the mirror it looked like a bad sunburn on my face and neck… then my vision became blured, scard me cuz I have 2 little kids at home, but it did pass after about 10 min but I only took 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon w/ meals but it still didn't help w/ the weight loss just gives you more energy so I lost the weight the natural way 30 lbs of it/ maybe you'll have better results than I did but don't drink when you take it… good luck w/ it

It's kinda strange that you would be taking a pill that's supposed to help you lose weight, yet you are consuming "empty calories" with the drinking. I'm not sure what types of drinks you are consuming (light beer or wine coolers etc.) but be careful-I know that when I used to drink I was oblivious to how many calories were in the drinks I was consuming and drinking also made me munch on food more often. You usually don't think about anything like "calorie numbers" when you're drinking and having a good time with friends. But you asked about Zantrex-when I took it I thought it was a total waste-mainly b/c I was used to products with ephreda in them-if you feel shaky, or if it causes u to not eat as much during the day-I wouldn't drink at all-you don't want you're heart to be racing & having alchol going thru your system nor do you want to drink on an empty stomach. My advice is to cut down on the drinking or the pills, look at how many calories are in the drinks you drinking and try to find something that has a lower amount of calories in it.
