Leptitrex
SummaryLeptitrex is a diet pill with a great many ingredients that is being marketed largely by word of mouth. It claims to help you lose fat fast, detox, suppress your appetite, and build lean muscle. Plus, you get your acne eliminated and a euphoric "high" thrown in for your troubles.  DescriptionLeptitrex contains a mixture of vitamins (e.g. C, B12, B6, and Chromium Polynicotinate) along with a many "fat burning" (euphoric) mostly herbal components: Chocamine, Di-Caffeine Malate, Rhodiola Rosea, St. John's Wort, L-Tyrosine, Picamilon, Phenylalanine, hops, Phenylethylamine (PEA), Synephrine, Ginkgo, Siberian Ginseng, Ginger, 5-HTP, and Vinpocetine. Then, there are the "10 super foods" ingredients: Barley, Garlic, Cayenne, Buckwheat, Soybeans, Flaxseed, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Wheatgrass, Acai, and alfalfa. Next, there are the ingredients to give you lean muscles: L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Arginine, Avena Sativa, Mucuna Pruniens, Ipriflavone, Ecdysterone, and Coleus. The detox ingredients are: dandelion root, milk thistle, licorice, cranberry, uva ursi, and sage. The anti-agine ingredients: green tea, DMAE, acetyl-L-Carnitine, and alpha lipoic acid. Whew, that's lots of ingredients! Leptitrex calls each group a "matrix". The vitamins prevent your body from being deficient while also promoting the proper conditions ("fat burning atmosphere") for the fat burner ingredients to do their stuff. The fat burning ingredients are various stimulants and other herbal substances that have been associated with weight-loss. Notably, phenylethylamine is a fairly new ingredient that Leptitrex that many other diet pills don't have. It is extracted from chocolate, believe it or not. The euphoric "love" feeling these pills may give you comes from this. You may have heard that chocolate makes you feel like you're in love, well the belief here is that phenylethylamine is the source of this. This also promotes weight-loss, without all the calories and fat from actually eating chocolate. The "10 superfoods" come from Dr. Nicholas Perricone who was on Oprah. His wife has been very successful at marketing Orovo. Leptitrex is clearly an immitator, of sorts. Though Leptitrex is also doing it's own thing with many other ingredients. Note that there is also a product named "Lipitrex" (which doesn't have a 't' in the middle), but it is not the same as Leptitrex. CriticismWith so many ingredients and only very trace amounts of each in the pill, Leptitrex is clearly a buck-shot approach that may be spreading itself too thin trying to cover every possible angle.

| Ally | posted 6-May-2008 10:20pm I just placed an order. Let see if it works. I will come back and update it. |
| babygotbackfat | posted 6-May-2008 10:51pm Today is my 3rd day on Leptitrex. I weigh every morning and was down 4 pounds this morning! I am drinking more water though, so it could be from that too. I haven't had any side effects yet that I know of and it doesn't make me jittery. I even take them as late as 6pm somedays. I have a weird schedule and some days that when my lunch is. I do seem to feel full more and am not having any cravings like I used too. Please do keep me posted Ally and I will do the same. Good luck! |

| babygotbackfat | posted 7-May-2008 12:18pm I purchased mine from Leptitrex.com. I think it was about 59 bucks or so for one bottle. I did the priority shipping for $7.95 and received mine in about 3 days. I didn't trust ordering them from any other site. Hope yours comes soon! |
| ROXY | posted 8-May-2008 12:31am HEY I PLACED AN ORDER LAST NIGHT AND AM SO ANXIOUS TO TRY... HPE IT WORKS FOR ME TOO.. FOR SURE I'LL GET BACK. |
| Roxy | posted 9-May-2008 10:57am Hey ya'll I read on the Oprah winfrey site that the company of lepitrex was never mentioned on there show. That it was a scam.. Has anyone heard of this?? I already ordered it.. And I can't help to beat myself up for it! |
| babygotbackfat | posted 9-May-2008 9:19pm Roxy- Leptitrex site does NOT say it was featured on Oprah's show. It DID say that the ingredients in Liptitrex were featured on the show. Which is true. The super foods were talked about in a show, which are in Leptitrex. I am getting so sick of ppl saying it was on Oprah and is a scam! If only ppl would read things a little more s.....l....o...w......e.....r! |
| babygotbackfat | posted 9-May-2008 9:23pm “After seeing the compounds in Leptitrex being featured on my favorite daytime television show I stocked up and have lost 29 pounds in 3 months. That may not seem like a ton of weight to many people but I only had 25 pounds to lose to get back to my college weight. I’m 37 years old, mother of 3, and skinnier now than I was in COLLEGE! My skin GLOWS and my girlfriends envy me. Leptitrex is the best diet supplement I have ever tried and I love that its actually healthy for you! – Tara C. I copied this from their site. NOTE* It says COMPOUNDS IN LEPTITREX, NOT that Leptitrex itself was on her favorite daytime tv show, which is Oprah. Hope this clears it up for everyone. |
| Roxy | posted 11-May-2008 1:58am To babygotbackfat... what you tryin to say I'm slow??? Lol... I'm glad to hear today was my first day of tryin it and I made me eat smaller quantities of food I don't feel any side effects yet bu I'm so excited for my results o come.... how's I going for you so far? How much weight lost? |
| babygotbackfat | posted 11-May-2008 1:00pm LOL Roxy- No I was not referring to just you lol. A lot of ppl seem to think the exact same thing. I haven't had any side effects that I know of. But I have noticed if I eat a lil too much I feel really nauseated. Which is a good thing since it makes me not want to eat as much as I usually do. So far I am at about 4 lbs. down, and tomorrow will be one week since I started them. I wish you the best on yours and keep me posted! |
| Roxy | posted 11-May-2008 6:40pm Fo sho! |
| Listowlady | posted 12-May-2008 12:13pm Hi all, I'm thinking of trying leptitrex, but am worries about side-effects. To any of you that have tried it, did it affect your sleep pattern? I don't always sleep great, and other diet pills I've tried seem to make it worse. I'd like to hear from anyone. Thanks Listowlady |
| babygotbackfat | posted 12-May-2008 3:44pm Hey Listowlady! I have been taking Leptitrex for a week now and have not noticed any side effects beside the one of not being that hungry. With other pills I have tried in the past I would get jittery at night, and have trouble sleeping, almost like my heart was racing. But with Leptitrex I haven't noticed this yet and I even take my pills as late as 7 pm some nights. ( I eat a very late lunch ) I am down about 4 pounds since last week, and I didn't take two days of them over the weekend. I was out of town and forgot to take them with me. I hope this helps you. Good luck! |
| Roxy | posted 12-May-2008 4:33pm To Listowlady, hey I have not either felt any side effects since I been taking them this is my 4th day and have not had a problem with them a all yet.... but than again everyone is different... good luck! |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 13-May-2008 8:34am I started this 1 week ago and I haven't exactly seen results yet but I don't crave as much and I don't feel jittery. Is there anything special I need to do while taking this? |
| babygotbackfat | posted 13-May-2008 12:25pm Jamsey Girl- I have been told that you should eat a protein rich meal with the pills. One of the ingredients in Leptitrex only works with protein. So, at breakfast I try to do eggs for my protein and then at supper, grilled chicken or turkey. I also drink a lot of water. Best of luck! |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 13-May-2008 3:50pm Thanks babygotbackfat! How much have you lost and how long? I need hope. I have 30-35 of after-baby weight I am working on. With two small children I don't have much time for exercise. |
| babygotbackfat | posted 13-May-2008 4:31pm Hey jamsey- I am a stay at home mom and exercise seems impossible to me too sometimes! I have lost about 4 pounds in 5 days since I didn't take them over the weeked. I was out of town visiting my mother and forgot to take them with me. I am kicking myself in the butt for that now! When my daughter was younger I found that if I incorporated her into my exercising I got a lot more done. When I would do my pilates with my circle I would make her something similar to let her do it with me. She really thought she was something then! And I always felt like if I missed a day or got off track with my plan, just do better the next day. We all mess up and if you're like me it's quite often! LOL Good Luck!!! |
| Roxy | posted 13-May-2008 4:31pm I would say to have tuna.. That's the perfect meal to have after u take it. |
| Anonymous | posted 14-May-2008 7:09am To anyone who is taking these pills, I started about a week ago and I haven't seem to have lost any pounds yet, I'm finding it a little discouraging. Maybe I'm losing fat and don't know it, it just seems that if your losing fat, you should be losing pounds. I haven't been eating alot of protein, could that be it. I have an apple for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Do you have to lay off the carbs, meaning pasta? I don't see anywhere where they tell you what to eat when your taking these pills. Please, someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 14-May-2008 8:07am Thanks for all the advice. I have tried several different products and none seem to work. Before I had my 2nd baby I used phentermine (a prescription) and it worked great but they won't prescribe it anymore so I was trying to find the best alternative and this seems to be close. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress if everyone else will do the same. Have a great day! |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 14-May-2008 8:08am Let me rephrase that "Before I got pregnant with my second baby" |
| Roxy | posted 14-May-2008 12:06pm I feel you Jamsey Girl, I to have not lost any weight... I don't know If this might be it but sometimes I take my pills and eat maybe an hour later ... will that still be effected? |
| Roxy | posted 14-May-2008 12:10pm I meant that for anonymous |
| babygotbackfat | posted 14-May-2008 1:09pm I do know that you're suppose to eat 30 mins after you take the pills. Waiting any longer can affect your results. Also on the Leptitrex site it says you should eat a protein rich meal but it doesn't say which proteins you should eat. So, I just try to eat the lean ones like I mentioned before. If you follow it how you should, then you should see some results, unless you are eating waaaaay wrong. Which a lot of people think that they can eat whatever and still lose weight. Pills are meant to help with the process, not to do all the work for you. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 14-May-2008 1:57pm Great! That is what I needed...I little info on exactly what to do. So I will start eating something 30 minutes after I take the pill because I wasn't doing that. Where do you get the information? |
| babygotbackfat | posted 14-May-2008 3:04pm On my bottle it says 3 pills with breakfast and lunch 30 mins before eating. I got the protein info. from their site. Good luck! Keep on keepin' on! |
| Roxy | posted 14-May-2008 5:42pm Are u suppose to eat only when u take the pills?? |
| Anonymous | posted 14-May-2008 8:24pm That's a good question Roxy, because I took the pills this morning and waited a half hour then I had a hard boiled egg, but I wanted to eat an apple around 10:30 am and I don't know if I'm allowed to eat in between taking the pills. It doesn't tell you anything about how your suppose to be eating. |
| Anonymous | posted 14-May-2008 8:30pm My wife and I are not seeing the results from Leptitrex that we had hoped for. After a week of taking this,as directed, no noticable results,which is disappointing considering we take with protiens and low carbs, 30 min. after. She hasn't lost even one pound while I have only lost about two. Were not giving up on this yet, but at $60 per bottle, we are a bit bummed. |
| Anonymous | posted 14-May-2008 8:59pm I really think that the company should give you better directions on the bottle or tell you what you should be eating, I just feel like I have wasted my money, I'm going to keep taking it but I'm very disappointed. |
| Roxy | posted 14-May-2008 10:20pm I am very disappointed too... I wish they had a cusomer service line.. You think they would. I really don't know its a lot of money to just give up though.. So ima keep tryin... the only person it seems to be woking for... what do u think ..BABYGOTBACKFAT????? |
| Roxy | posted 14-May-2008 10:20pm I am very disappointed too... I wish they had a cusomer service line.. You think they would. I really don't know its a lot of money to just give up though.. So ima keep tryin... the only person it seems to be woking for... what do u think ..BABYGOTBACKFAT????? MMMMMM??????... I'm jealous lol |
| babygotbackfat | posted 15-May-2008 1:53am LOL Roxy- I think it's working for me because I have A LOT of weight to lose. Anytime I do any type of diet program I do lose faster in the first week. This week, not so hot. And I totally agree with everyone else about the instructions. I had to do a lot of researching to find out what I know. And that's too much work when you're paying 60 bucks a bottle! I would eat a snack whenever I wanted. I didn't just eat after I took the pills. Who can do that? Not me! I am gonna keep on keepin' on though even if I don't lose any this week. Like we all know, it sucks to just give up on 60 bucks. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 15-May-2008 9:06am If anyone would like, I emailed the contact us on the website and someone emailed me back with what foods to eat (carbs, protein etc...) It looks like very helpful info. My email address is girljamiesavon@mail2web.com Email me an I will be glad to forward this to you. Thanks |
| Anonymous | posted 16-May-2008 7:56am To Jamsey Girl, the information that you emailed me looks like it will be very helpful to me and helps me understand things alot better. I'm gonna go about this a whole new way, I'll let you no how I do. Thanks again, you have been a big help. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 16-May-2008 8:16am I am glad I could help. I am also going to change my game plan. There is a lot of different healthy foods to choose from so there should be no problem. I hope this works for everybody. I am so excited! |
| Roxy | posted 16-May-2008 7:37pm hey, has anyone lost anything on there second week? |
| Neisy | posted 17-May-2008 10:34am I received my Lepititrex yesterday,I have been using the Orovo and must admit I feel better after taking it. I have not seen much weight loss though, but then again, I have not been exercising like I should. I am somewhat discouraged from the comments I have read, but will try the Lepititrex a try and see which one I like better. I am curious about the phenylethylamine because I do like chocolate! I emailed Jamsey Girl for the info she received from Lepititrex. Good luck everyone!! |
| kay | posted 17-May-2008 3:09pm hi everyone, i wanted to ask a question, there are two supplements one called Leptitrex and the other called lipitrex, any one knows the diffrence and which one works best. thanks |
| Roxy | posted 17-May-2008 4:59pm Leptitrex is the best one... lipitrex I never really heard of... but that's the one I'm trying and it does work to suppress my hunger |
| Kayos | posted 18-May-2008 11:43am Leptitrex... is the one with all the different benefits such as.... losing FAT, Detoxing your body, helps with acne, makes you feel good, suppresses appetite and builds lean muscle. Where as, Lipitrex icncrease your metabolism, increases your energy levels, decreases or "blocks" amount of fat and carbs you consume, and suppresses appetite. I would definititly choose Leptitrex, because not only for its ingredients and effects, but because Lipitrex uses CLA as its fat burner. CLA does help in fat loss but isn't as powerful as what Leptitrex uses, which isn't just one ingredient. Those ingredients combined with protein can enhance fat loss. NOW, to my question. I am about to start on Leptitrex on monday... I was wondering if it was okay, or hazardous if I also took the PM supplement of Liponesta... Has anyone heard of it? I was wondering this, because I have horrible sleeping patterns and since you are only using Leptitrex in the morning and afternoon.... and then Liponesta is only made for evenings... is that possible? Any feedback would be nice. |
| Roxy | posted 18-May-2008 1:45pm Kayos, I honestly wouldn't recommend to take two different supplements at the same time.. I'm no doctor but it just doesn't sound healthy just try one and see how it works out for you... since I've been on Leptitrex I lost about 4 pounds it been I think 2 weeks.. But I feel good. |
| Roxy | posted 18-May-2008 1:46pm Kayos, I honestly wouldn't recommend to take two different supplements at the same time.. I'm no doctor but it just doesn't sound healthy just try one and see how it works out for you... since I've been on Leptitrex I lost about 4 pounds it been I think 2 weeks its not much But I feel good and happy for my results to come. |
| cinlew | posted 19-May-2008 11:09am I just ordered this product hoping to lose!! I have been slowly gaining and in the last year, I have gained 20ish lbs. I'm hoping this will work for me, although I do NOT like taking pills/meds for anything, but I'm at my bottom low! I'm wondering (since I don't like taking pills/meds if I only took one pill instead of the 3 before a meal if that would help, just at a slower rate? Anyone know? Best wishes to all who are taking it! |
| Listowlady | posted 19-May-2008 4:18pm Hi all, well I've just ordered the pills:)) I hope they come soon, have to go home in a few weeks and would like to shed a few pounds before I go!! I just hope to God they work!!! |
| Roxy | posted 20-May-2008 1:55am Hey ya'll... well I have a very personal matter to share... has anyone have or is experiencing going to the bathroom a lot???? Cuz I am.. That normal!!! It just hit me! |
| Roxy | posted 20-May-2008 1:55am Hey ya'll... well I have a very personal matter to share... has anyone have or is experiencing going to the bathroom a lot???? Cuz I am.. That normal!!! It just hit me!... gotta go! |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 20-May-2008 8:05am To Roxy, I have always had problems with IBS but since I have started taking these I have noticed that it is happening more frequent. I would guess that it is the detoxing factor of the pill doing this. It will get better because mine slowed down now. To cinlew: I had a baby 9 months ago and after the baby (40lbs of gained weight) I lost all but 10 but since then I have gained 20 of it back. I am so discouraged with this because I have never been this size. If you or anyone else find a routine that works please post it so I and everyone else might can give it a try. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS!! |
| Anon | posted 20-May-2008 11:20pm Roxy, how much is "a lot?" I'm on my second day and have not experienced any frequent bowel movements. Is that what I have to look forward to? LOL! |
| Roxy | posted 21-May-2008 1:20am Anon, I was going to the bathroom very frequently for maybe 1 day or two but not no more... anyway ya'll I have a problem!... ok, I've been doing my thing, I've be eating well.. My protien too and exercising I weighed myself about 2 days ago and was 4 pounds lighter... then this morning I was 4 pounds heavier again! What up! Has anyone been going up and down the scale? Cuz I have to say I'm pretty pist off! |
| Mel | posted 21-May-2008 7:34am Hi all! I've been taking Leptitrex for 3 weeks now. I have not even lost one pound! I have, however, lost 1-1/2 inches from my chest, 1-1/2 inches from my waist and an inch from my hips! I don't understand how you can lose fat without lost a pound of weight though? I am going to try eating more proteins for my meals as suggested in earlier posts. I've been eating a small bowl of cereal (Special K) in the morning and a salad or Lean Cuisine for lunch. I have found that I don't eat as much with the pills. I'm disappointed with the pills as far as not having lost any weight, but since I've lost inches I'm going to keep taking the pills and see what happens. |
| cinlew | posted 21-May-2008 11:51am It makes sense to me that you won't neccessarily see a drop in weight (on the scales) if you are replacing fat with lean muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat and these pills are suppose to do just that from what I've read. It's just my opinion and I could be wrong:) I haven't tried the pills yet as I'm still waiting for them, but i'll let you all know how they do for me. |
| Jesse | posted 21-May-2008 3:22pm What up guys and gals! I caved in and bought some Leptitrex too. I bought 3 bottles for $120. I'm taking Leptitrex with the Body For Life diet. Today is day 7 w/ Leptitrex and day 10 on the diet. So far I have lost 5 pounds and I'm totally guesstimating that its all fat because my bench press, squat, shoulder press, bicep curls lifts have all gone up. Elliptical is a piece of cake with Leptitrex... You get a BIG FAT surge of energy. I'll keep you updated with more later. |
| cutie | posted 21-May-2008 8:16pm I just placed my order and I am sooo excited about starting with this product. I know it will work because I plan on making it happen. Good luck to all and I hope everyone achieves their weight goal, no matter how long it takes!. |
| Roxy | posted 21-May-2008 10:30pm Jesse, what's the body for life diet? |
| Taylor | posted 22-May-2008 12:36am Hello Everyone~ I stumbled upon Leptitrex on Monday and I've been researching the product since then. I am both excited and skeptical about trying it. I read a review on another site that the pills were large. I have had problem swallowing pills in the past. Although I'm better with swallowing now, are the pills coated? Has anyone else had a problem with the size and swallowing the pills? Thanks for your comments. |
| Anon | posted 22-May-2008 1:03am Roxy - I'm still waiting for the 1st lb to come off, but it's only been day 3 for me. Maybe I should up it to the 3 pills per serving? Taylor - The pills were bigger than most I've taken, but didn't have a problem swallowing it (except for when it went in sideways, LOL). It comes in a clear capsule, which I find easier to take since it has no taste going down. |
| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 4:00am I've had bigger pills... but they aren't small. I swallow all three at the same time... so.... I can't help you. THis is my second day on the pills... and I've lost two pounds so far. I'm really excited! I'll keep everyone posted. Oh, and thanks Roxy. I thought it might be an overdose. |
| Mel | posted 22-May-2008 7:00am Does anyone else have the food information that Jamsey Girl spoke of? I emailed her to request it but haven't heard back from her. I would love to have an insiders take on what I should be eating with these pills to better work with the Leptitrex. As I said in my earlier post I haven't even lost one pound yet and I've been taking them for three weeks. |
| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 7:04am Mel..... I have it... but it took her a couple of days to forward it to me. Here is my email if you don't get it by the time you see this post. deadly_kayos@yahoo.com |
| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 11:10am Right after I take my pills... I get a huge burning sensation.... its almost sickening. Does anyone else get this? Is it from the detoxing? |
| Taylor | posted 22-May-2008 11:11am Thanks for the responses. I ordered my first bottle last night. God, I hope they work!!! Kayos, do you mind forwarding a copy of the food list to ltabb@abbeyresidential.com? Thanks. |

| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 11:31am Updating to everyone! This is the 3rd morning on Leptitrex. I have lost 3.2 lbs so far... And I have only worked out on the first day. Pretty good huh! Still... Does anyone know about the burning sensation? It goes away after I start eating which is 30 mins after I take the pills like it says too. |

| Jennifer | posted 22-May-2008 1:34pm Hi all, So far *knock on wood*, I am thrilled with Leptitrex, over the last few years I've lost 70 pounds on my own, then about a year ago I hit 170 and I have not budged past that point since, no matter what I did. My friend is a fitness instructor and he even gave me a workout to "shock" my body into losing, we both thought my body had just become accustomed to my workouts and eating habits. Even that didn't work. Well, I have been on Leptitrex for one week, and I have lost 2 pounds. Its not a lot, but I am at 168. One week of taking Leptitex did something I have no been able to do on my own for the last year. I'm hoping this is a sign for good things to come and I will continue losing. Even if its a pound a week, I don't care, at least the scale is finally moving again. I do make sure that I take my three pills with at least 16 to 20 ounces of water and when I eat 30 minutes later, it is protein only. If its and egg, protein shake or protein bar, I make sure it is high in protein. Then I eat dinner as normal. So I am optimistic:) Good Luck everyone! |
| Taylor | posted 22-May-2008 4:38pm Kayos~ Thanks for the list. I got it just fine... |
| Mel | posted 22-May-2008 5:36pm Kayos...thanks for the list. Much appreciated. I would surely like to see my scale go down. I've seen it go up a pound or two and come back down over these three weeks, but haven't seen it go below what I started at :( Hopefully the higher protein foods will do the trick.... |

I should be getting my bottle soon and would like to be prepared.

| Barbie | posted 22-May-2008 8:01pm Hi...Kayos - can you please send me the list as well?? I am at barbiesw@hotmail.com Breakfast may be my issue as well.. |
| Gala | posted 22-May-2008 8:02pm Hi all,I started my first bottle six days ago,I haven't lost so far-same weight, same size. KAYOZ,I have burning sensation after I take a pills...I hope it is detoxin.. |
| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 11:38pm Barbie and Cutie, Hey... I just sent it to ya'll. Tell me if you get it okay! |
| Kayos | posted 22-May-2008 11:48pm Gala,Great to hear that I'm not the only one. It's a bum that you haven't lost weight. Now, I have also chosen to be on nutrisystem, so that might be contributing to the weight loss I am seeing. Also, I think I'm going through withdrawals of not having any Dr. Pepper... or salt. I've completely eliminated pop and add salt. What are you eating and are you getting enough sleep and water? How often are you eating? You should be eating obviously good foods like vegetables, fruits, good fats, protein especially and drinking TONS of water. Sleep is necessary for weight loss, so devote 8 hours at minimum. And you shouldn't go without eating for more than 3 hours, which means eating SMALL portions 5-6 times a day. I don't know if this helped but do you also got the email about the foods that will be good for Leptitrex? |
| Anon | posted 23-May-2008 1:02am I thought I was the only one feeling that burn after I take the pills. It usually starts up right after I take the pills and last maybe 10-15 mins afterwards. The morning one I don't mind because after the burn, I'm not hungry anymore, but when I take the second dose before lunch, within 15 mins I get really shakey like I'm starving and just about to faint. Is this just me? |
| Kayos | posted 23-May-2008 1:12am Umm.... Well... For me Anon... The morning one is the worst... I feel really nauseated in the morning from the pills. The lunch one isn't as bad, but I don't get shakey or starving... but I do get hot flashes. If I'm doing something. |
| Barbie | posted 23-May-2008 8:44am Good Morning Kayos - I received the food list - thanks so much!!!! Does anyone have any suggested meal plans for us to follow?? Thanks:) barbiesw@hotmail.com |
| Kayos | posted 23-May-2008 9:13am Hi Barbie... Good to hear you got it just fine. You may want to check out shapefit.com they have meal plans and exercise programs.... and its free. |
| cinlew | posted 23-May-2008 11:10am Well, I took my first pills this morning and I'm very energetic! I think two pills would be plenty for me at one time. I,too felt very sick before breakfast and then a little bit warmer than usual. I'm not jittery, but close to it! Just thought I would pass that on:) |
| MAGS | posted 23-May-2008 12:45pm Just checking if anyone with just about 15-20 pounds to lose , has lost on these pills? |
| Barbie | posted 23-May-2008 2:03pm Thanks so much Kayos! I will check the site out. I will probably do a version of the South Beach diet - no carbs - lots of pretein and greens. My goal is to lose approximately 10-15 pounds MAGS. I am still waiting for my pills to arrive. |
| cutie | posted 23-May-2008 6:48pm thanks Kayos for the list..I know that not everyones body work the same, so i am taking in all this information. I just hope that when I start, I will see some results.. |
| Anonymous | posted 25-May-2008 1:06pm Hello all- I just started on this product about 10 days ago. I think I've lost some weight, but can't say for certain yet as I increased my workouts recently. (But I work out pretty regularly anyway.) However, I'm feeling the same burning sensation when I take the pills. I'm concerned this could be something damaging. It's been brought up earlier but doesn't seem to be addressed fully in this blog. Are there others that are feeling this sensation? Thanks for your input... |
| Kayos | posted 25-May-2008 3:58pm I think it has something to do with the detox ingredients. I've detoxed before, not on these pills, by using another product specifically for detoxing, and that's exactly what I felt. However, if you are really concerned then contact them. |
| Gala | posted 25-May-2008 7:17pm Hi Kayos!Thank you for information about diet,I do all.I got list from Leptitrex...Why they didnt place for all people that recommendations on they site?!!!Im so so angry!You sell product,you have to be responsible for that!Today is 9 days on leptitrex... burning sensation less,than before, shakey in a morning...I feel more hungry after 1 week,especialy tonight and less full after taking a pills???... Didn't lost. |
| Anonymous | posted 25-May-2008 8:55pm Kayos, good suggestion. I've sent an email today. I'll post it after I receive a response so that will be informative for everyone. |
| Roxy | posted 25-May-2008 10:59pm To babygotbackfat, hey I wanna know how its been going for you?.... its been 2 weeks exactly, and I've lost 4 pounds. I'm happy so far... it seems the more more I read the blogs the worst it sounds.. Its working for me. |
| Sunshine | posted 26-May-2008 12:47am Hi Everyone - I am waiting on an order so I'll update when I have some input with my experience. Good luck to everyone. |
| patkes2 | posted 26-May-2008 9:10am Could someone please send me the foods list? patkes2@aol.com |
| patkes2 | posted 26-May-2008 9:13am Placed an order this morning, hope to have them by the end of the week. Would love to go ahead and get a headstart on the right foods to eat before the pills arrive. Thanks and good luck to everyone. |
| babygotbackfat | posted 26-May-2008 7:40pm Roxy- I stopped taking the pills after about 5 days. I did loose about 3 pounds all together but I think that was mostly from cutting my calories and drinking A LOT of water. I got to where I could not stand the burning sensation I got after taking them that lasted a while. It almost felt like it was traveling down to my heart which scared me. I also hated the taste. I would have to get a lot of water in my mouth to take one at a time and if I let the pill sit on my tongue too long it tasted awful and started to burn. These pills may work, but nothing is going to be a magic pill and I feel so dumb for even wasting my money on them. It will be one week tomorrow since I have been on Atkins and I am down 8 lbs. ! This diet is far more better than any other I have been on! I am sending my Leptitrex back hoping for a full refund. Who needs Leptitrex when you got Atkins?! I wish you well Roxy and everyone else! |
| Jesse | posted 26-May-2008 9:27pm Burning sensation is probably because of the Cayenne Pepper. If you take leptitrex with a tiny bit of food (live vegetables or wheat bread) instead of an empty stomach it totally gets rid of stomach burn. If its throat burn you are dealing with then just be sure to swollow the pills all the way. Today is day 12 on Leptitrex and day 15 on the Bill Phillips Body For Life Diet. Total Fat loss is 8.5 pounds. My bench press is up 25 pounds too!! Leptitrex + Body for life works GREAT! |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 27-May-2008 9:50am To everyone that emailed me regarding the list I am sorry it took so long. I do all my internet from work and I was off from Wednesday of last week until today with a sick baby. I have since sent it but I read the posts of where you have already received it. Thanks for everybody else stepping in in my absence. I have been on Leptitrex 2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. I am not really following the plan to a tee and it is still working, however, I have not taken them over the weekend for fear of being more on edge with the baby and still lost the weight so good luck to all.... |
| cinlew | posted 27-May-2008 11:20am I'm also upset that I spent the money on these things- I haven't lost a single pound! I feel no different than before I started taking it- I only noticed a suppressant on the appetite the first day, after that I felt nothing, no burning, nothing. For those of you who it's working for...congrats and I hope you reach your goal. I don't want to be negative, but I need something more:) |
| Roxy | posted 27-May-2008 11:49am Hey ya'll, well, I'm alittle disappointed that people are givin up... it kinda brings my spirits down... I am very satisfied with this product.. Its very hard for me to lose weight I've done it in the past and the results were slllooooowwww.. This has helped me a lot.. I've lost 5 pounds in alittle over 2 weeks.. If I push harder I can't imagine how quick itll be.. I'm 5'5 and 165 now I'm pushin for 140 even less maybe... good luck ya'll ... God Bless |
| deb | posted 27-May-2008 12:08pm I have just recently started taking leptitrex in addition to Atkins type diet...They are working wonderfully-Atkins is great for weight loss...and Leptitrex seems to be keeping the appetite under control...and giving me the energy I need to get through it all...I am not much for taking pills but if it does nothing more than keeping my self control to not eat myself sick..I'm happy with that! I feel its worth $60 to keep me in check..Versus..being overweight and feeling crappy. Good Luck to yall! |
| Anonymous | posted 27-May-2008 12:12pm This is our first day taking Leptitrex, and in reading the posts, I've noticed that some of you have lost scale weight, and was wondering if anyone has had any noticable fat loss in troubled areas? |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 27-May-2008 1:20pm Actually yes I did and I have just realized that I put on a pair of khaki capris yesterday and they fit!!! I had tried them on a month or so ago and they were tight in the hip area. I have lost 5 lbs but man I hope that is where it is coming from because hips and thighs are my trouble zones. Maybe this will give some of your hope!! |
| Dedicated | posted 27-May-2008 1:45pm Jamsey Girl... Thanks for the incouragement. Hips and thighs are where I have most of my problems as well. I really hope this works, we are going on a mini vacation in a couple of weeks and I want to look my best. I've been loosing steadily going from a 16 to an 8, but would like to speed it up a bit and not have to work out 6 days a week to keep loosing. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 27-May-2008 1:51pm Wow!! I am currently comfortably in a 12 but can fit in a 10 but I want to comfortable in an 8. If anybody finds a routine that works please post or send to girljamiesavon@mail2web.com Thanks! |
| Barbie | posted 27-May-2008 2:00pm Hi--I'm still waiting for the pills to arrive but started south beach over the weekend... |
| Anonymous | posted 27-May-2008 4:00pm As promised, my email exchange with Leptitrex... My email to Leptitrex: Hello- I purchased a supply of your product (180 capsules) after reading about it on the internet. Sounds promising, and I'm willing to give it a shot in tandem with a good diet and exercise for the entire bottle to see if it works. However, often (usually in the morning) when I take even just two pills I have a burning sensation in my stomach. I don't have any digestive issues, and am concerned if this is a bad mix with my physiology, in that I don't want to cause any long-term issues such as a stomach ulcer. Can you address the burning sensation for me, as to what may be causing it? Is this standard with some of the ingredients in your product? Your input would be greatly appreciated... Regards, Email reply from Leptitrex: We have no reported side effect. I have not heard of any one reporting a burning sensation. It may be possible that something in it is not sitting well with you. It does contain cayenne, which may be irritating. You may want to switch the dosage instructions and take it with food and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, you may just want to return it. I have included the refund instructions below: Sorry our product didn’t work out for you. In order to have your account refunded, you must follow ALL of the following instructions: (Product reeturn details then listed.) I'm going to stay on it for a bit longer before I decide whether or not to continue. |
| Sam | posted 27-May-2008 5:47pm Hi! Im curious about this. I want to try it but am looking for the best place to buy it. Is their website the only place to get it? Also, have you guys gotten good results and would you recommend this? Thanks! |
| Sunshine | posted 27-May-2008 11:17pm Hi, I bought from their website. I just received my order today, so I'll start tomorrow. I am 5'4" and 159 pounds. Would like to get down to 135. I have been exercising at least one hour everyday and mostly following weight watchers. I will follow it faithfully and lose like .2 pounds in a week. Torture! (that's .2 and not 2) It is just so slow and discouraging for me so I felt like I needed some extra help. I hope this helps. Well let you know - Sunshine |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 28-May-2008 4:29pm I am also going to start Weight Watchers along with Leptitrex Monday so hopefully this weill speed up the process. I will keep everyone posted. |
| Listowlady | posted 30-May-2008 10:24am Hi all, well part of my order arrived on Tuesday last, and I've been taking the pills before breakfast and lunch, I too experience a burning sensation, a little like heartburn, but not as bad (reminded me of when I was pregnant!!). I don't get as hungry and even though I've not yet lost weight, I am a lot less bloated, and my tummy seems flatter. Is it the pills or is it because I'm being really careful with what I'm eating, or both?? Who knows? I'm going to stick with it because I'm desperate for whatever help I can get. Has anyone had problems with receiving their order? I have only received one bottle, and ordered four. Have emailed Leptitrex and ask about the remaining bottles and have yet to hear back from them. Jamsey Girl, I'm doing my weight watchers healthy eating with the pills too, it would be interesting to hear how it helps you. Good luck everyone. |
| Barbie | posted 30-May-2008 1:08pm Hi -- I am still waiting for my order - it has been just over a week - I started south beach diet for the interim--- |
| Sunshine | posted 30-May-2008 2:35pm Hi, I ordered mine on May 22 and received them on May 27th. - 3 bottles and I got them all at once, so I did not have any problems. |
| Anonymous | posted 30-May-2008 3:52pm Just wanted to say hey to everyone. I received my order last night. I will keep you guys updated on my progress. Will post again soon. Bye for now. |
| Sam | posted 31-May-2008 2:36am Hi, Ive received my order today, but had to leave to go out of town right after. I just have a question...When it says before breakfast and lunch are they referring to lunch as our midday meal, or evening meal, because ive heard it as both. Thanks! |
| Sunshine | posted 1-Jun-2008 5:55pm I think mid-day meal, since it has some caffiene with the green tea. Lunch to me has always meant mid-day, but I have heard supper is sometimes used as either one. |
| cutie | posted 2-Jun-2008 7:14pm good day all...today is my first day on Leptitrex. I was amazed at the spur of energy that it gave me 5 minutes after I took the pills. Since I did not take them on a empty stomach(I ate a piece of wheat toast) the burning sensation was very minor... I planned my diet with a lot of proteins involved, so hopefully I should see some results soon...I will keep everyone updated...good luck to all |
| Sam | posted 2-Jun-2008 7:16pm I just started today also, and I did not have any of the burning sensation, so that is good news. Well see how well this works for me and Ill post any results. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 3-Jun-2008 5:47pm Do we have any progress yet for those of you that have been on these for a week or more? |
| Jude | posted 4-Jun-2008 2:11pm Hi all, Kayos could you send a food listing to me too? brudyju71@yahoo.com I will be starting my pills when they arrive this week. I will post my experiences too. Looking forward to losing! Good Luck all! |
| Anonymous | posted 4-Jun-2008 4:20pm JAMSEY GIRL... My wife said that she was able to wear skirt this weekend, that she was too tight for her to zip a couple of weeks ago. However, she does work out daily, so not sure if it would have happened anyway. We've been taking them for about a week and a half. I haven't noticed anything, no burning no euphoria, so I'm wondering if they do anything at all. Has anyone seen results? |
| cutie | posted 4-Jun-2008 7:02pm Greetings Everyone..this is my 3rd day on leptitrex and I have already lost 2 pounds (OMG). At first I though it was something wrong with my scale, but I tried the one in my parents room and it gave me the same numbers(excited).I do follow a strict diet, eat A LOT of food with protein and veggies (OMG), drink plenty of water, and NEVER eat past 7pm...So I think that's mainly why its working for me...I will update everyone at the end of the week. Good luck!! |
| Sunshine | posted 5-Jun-2008 10:13am I just finsished my first week and did not lose anything. I have been at the gym everyday for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours and weight watchers. |
| TC | posted 5-Jun-2008 8:15pm Hey everybody, I just started yesterday on my first bottle of Leptitrex. I don't use scales, I can look in the mirror and my eyes will tell me what I need to know, IMHO. I will say that when I read some folk's reaction to the pills with the burning, I was a little concerned. But I have not had anything like that happen to me. I do eat a lot of peppers though, maybe the wee bit of cayenne just doesn't do anything, if indeed that's even what's doing it. I did notice though that ok, wait 30 minutes to eat, when that 30 minutes is up, I don't even feel like eating, and have to force myself. This is the first time EVER that I've tried diet pills, is this pretty typical? I do feel a bit revved up, not exactly "jittery" although somewhat I guess. Just my 2 cents. |
| Eva | posted 8-Jun-2008 5:50pm Is there any way to order Lepitrex other than through the website? I do wish they had a mail-in address, but there doesn't seem to be one. |
| Charles | posted 9-Jun-2008 7:32am no burning sensation increased energy full all the time i eat like a horse but since ive been taking the pills ive cut my food down to 1/2 of what i normally would eat, will weigh my self after the 1st bottle |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 9-Jun-2008 9:17am WELL AS OF FRIDAY I HAVE LOST 8 POUNDS (3 IN ONE WEEK) I AM ALSO DOING WEIGHT WATCHERS AND i THINK THAT HELPS A LOT. I AM SO EXCITED!!! |
| DAIJOY | posted 10-Jun-2008 12:00am I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY USES, THE PILLS 3(AM) AND 3(PM) BUT DOES ANY BODY CHANGE IT OR SOMETHING.. I STILL EAT ALOT YET THE TIMES I EAT MORE ARE AT NIGHT.. |
| JAMSEY GIRL | posted 10-Jun-2008 7:55am Well I guess everybody is different. The first week I couldn't really tell that they did anything for me as far as appetite suppressant but after they got in my system, I guess, now I hardly ever get hungry. I take my first set at around 4:30 a.m. but I don't get to eat until around 7-7:30 and then I take the last set between 10:30 and 11 a.m. before my lunch. I do tend to get more hungry in the evening but only because I take them so early. Probably though if you are watching how much you eat during the day then you need to get one GOOD meal in at night to get your nutrition level up. Good luck to all!!!! |
| cowgirl up | posted 10-Jun-2008 9:22am I just got my first bottle today and have not even opened it yet. I stumbled on this blog and would love to become part of it. I think that support and encouragement also play a big part in weight loss. I have a ton of weight to loose and I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. Could someone please email the food list everyone is talking about? sherrie_sue@yahoo.com. I would greatly appreciate it and hope to become a regular on here with good news and good wishes for everyone. |

I have my big meal around 6:00pm and don't eat past 7:30pm and it I get hungry in the evening, I have a protein bar...This process works out great for me and I am starting to see some weight loss, but like Jamsey girl stated, everyone's body is different.

| cowgirl up | posted 10-Jun-2008 11:35am I took my first dose at about 9:45 and ate scrambled eggs around 10:15. I had a really had time getting the pills down as they are quite large. Not a bad taste or anything, just huge. I'm not sure whether it's just in my head or I really feel this way but I'm kinda nauscious and really thirsty. I feel really full but maybe it's because I'm so thirsty I'm drinking more water. I am doing lots of burping but no burning sensation. I am definately not hungry....and if this is the feeling you have I will definately loose weight. Has anyone else experienced any of this? |
| DAIJOY | posted 10-Jun-2008 2:47pm i also got the burning sensation, yet ive noticed if i drink more water at the time of taking my pills it works, ad you know what i started getting watery stools.its more like a aftermath of going potty, does anyone else have this problem.. sorry but i dont know how else to explain it.. i do drink alot of water but its for myself.. cause i am a big dark soda drinker and sweet tea drinker...so all day i try to drink alot of water so that way if i drink sda for dinner i wont feel so bad about doing it. also whats the average days it takes for someone to see weight loss. i am about 5'2 and weight 140 i have alot of junk in the trunk and sides and abdomen so thats where it stays for me. |
| Jennifer | posted 10-Jun-2008 3:05pm My update, I've been taking the pills for about three weeks now and I have lost 5 pounds, which for me is fantastic since its been almost a year since I've lost any weight and its not been from lack of trying. I already watched what I ate and was already on a high protein diet (I weight train) and work out six days a week, those last 30 pounds wasn't coming off. So I am thrilled to say the least. I do get a burning sensation, but it doesn't really bother me because it doesn't make my heart race. I can't stand that side effect to a diet pill. The burning goes away as soon as I get something on my stomach. |
| cutie | posted 10-Jun-2008 6:12pm Greetings, Today is my 10th day taking Leptitrex and I lost 3 pounds so far, It may not be much, but for me its a wonderful thing...will keep everyone posted. GOOD LUCK |
| cowgirl up | posted 11-Jun-2008 10:53am Hi All, today is just my second day so I didn't really expect a weight loss yet but I have noticed in just that one day that I do have more energy...which is great. At least I don't just go home from work and crash in the recliner which was my usual routine. I'm going to try just 2 pills instead of 3 to see if they will still depress my appetite..I did feel a bit jittery yesterday but maybe it was just me. Best of luck to everyone. |
| TC | posted 11-Jun-2008 2:35pm Hey everybody, Like I said, I don't do scales, but my mirror says I look thinner. Also, a blouse I couldn't wear before last week I can now wear with comfort. I don't know about the "fat burner" qualities of the pill, but it really does suppress my appetite. I also know that if you eliminate or sharply curtail your intake of carbs (breads, etc.) that alone w/o Leptitrex is gonna move you in the right direction. I did the Atkins diet years ago and the weight fell off me quick. But, it's an unrealistic diet, peeing on sticks to see if you're in ketosis, blah, blah, blah and eliminating every good thing to eat. I'd rather die, or be fat, lol. Anyway, I do appreciate everyone sharing their experience with this pill. I don't expect it to be a miracle, but, I'd really like to be confident that it does more than just suppress my appetite and it really does do what it claims to do when they say it "burns your fat" or speeds up your metabolism or whatever. We shall see. |
| cowgirl up | posted 11-Jun-2008 3:35pm Hi TC, I too went on Atkins for a short time with the same results. It does work, but it really is unrealistic. I agree that so far {knock on wood}, and this is only my second day, it does tend to supress my appetite. Let's just hope the fat burning thing kicks in real soon...lol. Sherrie |

| cowgirl up | posted 12-Jun-2008 10:28am Good news. I am down 2.2 lbs from Tuesday. I have been taking my pills, drinking as much water as I can, and keeping track of everything that goes in my mouth. It seems to be working so far. |
| Mel | posted 12-Jun-2008 6:30pm Hi All, Wanted to update you all. I've been taking Leptitrex for 5 weeks now. My scale still has not gone down even one pound! I have lost a total of 2-1/2" from my chest, 2" from my hips and 2-1/4" from my waist. Still don't see how this is possible without losing any poundage, but hey, I'm looking better so I guess I shouldn't complain...much. I've cut way back on my calories (only about 1200/day) and have increased my fiber and protein and my water intake. Don't understand why I'm not losing any weight. Any suggestions? |
| undecided | posted 12-Jun-2008 9:47pm Hi Everyone, Well, I came across this website last night, and started to read all of your reviews. With the mix of results it makes for a hard decision, but I'm back again, one day later, so I guess that maybe I've been thinking about it more than I thought. Anyway, I way wondering if anyone could forward me the food list(azican2002@yahoo.com). I think after reviewing the list I will make my final decision. If anyone has any insight for me it would b greatly appreciated. |
| cowgirl up | posted 13-Jun-2008 8:27am Everyone keeps talking about a food list. I have requested someone send it to me as well but with no success. I will request it again (sherrie_sue@yahoo.com). As for you undecided, I felt much like you but decided to take the plunge and so far am happy with the results. Hope this helps. |
| momof2 | posted 13-Jun-2008 11:33am Hey all- I just recently gave birth to twins and have some major poundage to lose! I recently ordered the pills and am looking forward to trying them out. I have about 30 pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and then about another 15 to get where I want to. Big goals! I would love it if someone could e-mail me the food list (rachel_vierck@hotmail.com) so that I can give this the best shot possible. Good luck to everyone and hopefully a much skinnier me will be writing an update in a few weeks! |
| Anonymous | posted 13-Jun-2008 12:30pm Hi everybody! It's so great to see you all pop in here with your thoughts. Mel, I'll say it again, who the heck cares about the scales? Those inches coming off? That's what "counts", doncha think? I think people get so hung up on what the "numbers" on their scales say, rather than what their body shape is. I have never understood why when I used the scales to determine my success with this or that, why that my weight seemed to be so in excess of what my eyes told me. I currently weigh over 160 lbs. and almost 5'4. No one can believe that. I carry all my weight in my gut (beer doesen't help (that) My butt isn't too big, and from my shoulders to my gut, well, it's pretty normal looking. But like you Mel, INCHES are coming off. Whatever! As far as the food list everyone is clamoring for, IMO common sense would tell you what not to do. We all know that the makers of this pill is pushing a high protein diet. That means to me, ok, more % protein to fat and mainly carbs. And some carbs are better than others. There are carb counting books out there that will tell you that, even veggies. Let's see, corn, nope, artichokes nope, hominy, no, no, no, avocado, definite no-no. Have yourself a good salad with lettuce, tomato, bacon bits (I like the real deal) and you should be ok. Don't eat bread but once a day! And the after 7:00 p.m. fast is a must. If you don't have toast with your eggs in the a.m. you can eat a good sandwich at your evening meal. Again, JMO |

| Anonymous | posted 13-Jun-2008 2:12pm Hi, this has not worked for me AT ALL: ( The pills have made me bloated, and it feels like I have gained weight! I am already thin, but have a pooch I wanted to get rid of, so maybe it just isnt right for me? My skin has improved though, and I have only been taking it for 5 days....Good luck everyone: ) |
| momof2 | posted 14-Jun-2008 9:45am TC- I wanted a list of foods that specifically work well with these pills beyond the recommendation of high protein foods. I'm sure that everybody on here knows that a salad is low calorie but the type of salad you described has few redeeming nutritional qualities- it actually boarders on bad for you. Maybe a list of recommended foods could benefit us all- including you. :) |
| TC | posted 15-Jun-2008 4:17pm I agree momof2 |
| Mel | posted 15-Jun-2008 8:10pm TC...Yes, I agree about the scale thing...I am very glad about the inches...YAY!! So happy something is finally working! And actually, I have lost 4 pounds in the last 3 days and my body fat percentage has come down 1.2%! Maybe it's really going to get rolling now :) |
| Anonymous | posted 16-Jun-2008 10:27am Good Morning Everybody! I have responded to several emails with the "food list" and some of them are coming back saying that there was an invalid email so I am going to copy and paste it to this forum. Enjoy! Hope this helps... Hi. Diet and exercise is very helpful. Here are some tips that may help. You should start to see results in 2-4 weeks. I find that when I am dieting, I always feel hungry because I am focusing or obsessing to much. Don't think of it as a diet, just think of it as your are trying to make some small changes that will help you get healthy and lose the weight. Here are the tips: 1) Carbohydrates. There are good ones and bad ones. The bad ones reek havoc on your energy levels and liver. The following are a list of "good" carbs that you should put on your shopping list: yams squash steamed brown rice steamed wild rice oatmeal barley beans kidney beans corn strawberries melon cherries apple orange fat-free yogurt whole-wheat bread high-fiber cereal whole grains (NOTE: On your "Detox Phase" avoid all carbs except those from Vegetable sources. This will cure your "addiction" to carbs and ensure lasting success. Then eat the healthy carbs on the list for days 4-29. Do this for each Detox Phase.) 2) Protein. Eating lots of protein is the key to losing ONLY body fat and maintaining 100% of your bone and muscle tissue. Maintaining this precious bone and muscle tissue will keep your metabolic rate high and ensure lasting success. The following is a list of healthy lean proteins that you should put on your shopping list: chicken breast turkey breast lean ground turkey swordfish orange roughy haddock salmon tuna crab lobster shrimp top round steak top sirloin steak lean ground beef buffalo lean ham egg whites or substitutes trout low-fat cottage cheese wild-game meat tempeh seitan tofu texturized vegetable protein soy foods veggie burgers 3) FAT? Yes…eating FAT is good for you. As long as you are eating the right type of fats. There are fats that make you fat and fats that help you lose fat. Here is a list of fats that help you lose fat that you should put on your grocery list: avocado sunflower seeds pumpkin seeds cold-water fish natural peanut butter low-fat cheese low-fat salad dressing low-sodium nuts olives and olive oil safflower oil canola oil sunflower oil flax seed oil 4) VEGETABLES! Vegetables contain TONS of vital antioxidants that help aid in detoxifying the liver. They are essential to any weight loss program. Some of them that you should put on your shopping list are: broccoli asparagus lettuce carrots cauliflower green beans green peppers mushrooms spinach tomato peas Brussels sprouts artichoke cabbage celery zucchini cucumber onion 5) Exercise. I know it's a pain, but try to exercise as often as possible. You don't need to exercise to lose weight with our diet pills, but it sure does help. My mother exercised for 1 hour a day, 6 days a week. I exercised for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Was that the difference between 10 pounds and 12 pounds? Can exercising be the difference between 7 pounds and 10 pounds? I think so. 6) Your LIVER? Having already purchased , you understand how important a healthy liver is to helping you reach your weight loss goals. ALL of the tips mentioned above have some sort of positive effect on your liver. Your liver is your PRIMARY FAT BURNING ORGAN. If you have "tried everything" and have still not noticed results, it is because your liver is sluggish and not able to burn fat as quickly and efficiently as it could be. Taking our diet pills, eating healthy and exercising will all help your liver function properly and burn fat at a much faster pace than ever before. Try to minimize your intake of alcohol and nicotine as they both wreak havoc on your liver. 7) VISUALIZE YOUR SUCCESS. I read an amazing story once. It was about a man who desperately wanted to lose weight. So he cut out a picture in a magazine of what was his ideal body. Each night before bed he visualized this body with his head on it. After following a healthy diet for 3 months with moderate exercise his results were astonishing. You literally couldn't tell the difference between his body and the body in the magazine that he had cut out. Michaelangelo said it best with: "What I desire, I must first imagine. What I imagine, I create" 8) Choose "appropriate" portion sizes. USDA statistics show that because of increased portion sizes, the average total daily calorie intake has risen from 1,854 calories to 2,002 calories over the last 20 years. That increase—148 calories per day—theoretically works out to an extra 15 lbs. every year. Portion size is important to weight management. Employ a common sense approach, such as using the palm of your hand or your clenched fist for gauging the portion sizes of food. 9) Plan meals ahead of time. You may even want to try different recipes and decide what works for you before you begin your training program. Experiment with different seasonings, try a variety of vegetables, and find which microwave settings work best for preheating food. By the time you're ready to start, you'll have the supplies you need and the confidence that you know what you're doing. Then, fix your meals in advance and freeze them. It's important to shop at least once a week. If you forget, you'll run out of good food and be tempted to cheat on your meals. Get containers to store your food. Purchase plastic storage containers, sports bottles, a water jug and a cooler to store and carry your food. Having nutritious meals within reach during a hectic day can keep you on track. 10) Find your "emotional reason" for staying on track. Researchers at George Washington University discovered that people who successfully transform their bodies are set in action by some sort of "emotional trigger" that helps to clarify their reasons for deciding to make change. In the study, researchers found that any event which elicited strong emotions such as alarm, embarrassment, shame and/or fear actually inspired people to transform their bodies for the better. Take a moment to consider your "emotional trigger" and use it to stay committed to your nutrition program. Strive for consistency, not perfection. You can be sure there will be the occasional meal or snack that's not on the recommended food list. When you get off track in this way, don't allow it to slow you down. Enjoy the divergence, recommit to your goal, and get back on track with your next meal. 11) Competition. Take our diet pills with a friend or family member. Have a contest to see who can lose the most weight in the shortest period of time. Competition brings out the best in people. |

| EastCoast | posted 17-Jun-2008 1:28pm Hi all, I started 4 days ago and haven't seen much of a difference besides appietite suppression. I notice some people talking about eating lots of protein after the pills. I have been thinking of taking fish oil supplements on days I can't get away for lunch. Has anyone tried these to satisfy their protein? |
| undecided | posted 17-Jun-2008 7:34pm Hi Everyone, Well, I have officially made up my mind. I just submitted my order. I'll keep you all posted as to my progress. PS- Jamsey Girl, thanks for the food list. |

| desperate | posted 18-Jun-2008 1:51pm Hi what is the detox phase? I just ordered today and have some questons. Is it 3 pills before breakfast and 3 pills before lunch? |
| desperate | posted 18-Jun-2008 2:43pm Could someone give me the foods you should eat? I am currently do atkins already. |
| desperate | posted 18-Jun-2008 3:12pm Some people mentioned they ate with the food to avoid the burning sensation. I thought you had to wait 30 minutes to eat after taking the pills?? |
| Non | posted 18-Jun-2008 7:09pm Its been 7 business days,still no leptitrex... order is to canada does it take longer to ship? |
| desperate | posted 19-Jun-2008 11:21am I was wondering the same thing. How long does it usually take to get to you after you order. I am anxious to try this out. |
| momof2 | posted 19-Jun-2008 4:45pm I also have not received my order. I just e-mailed them to ask about it. I have found that if you use Paypal it is slower than if you just use a credit card or something. That's the case on auction sites, anyway. |
| Non | posted 19-Jun-2008 4:49pm Question to all those who have taken the pill, iv been breaking the pills and mixing the exract with water it doesnt go down the best...any feedback will be great :) thx |
| Non | posted 19-Jun-2008 4:53pm @ the burning sensation... i took the pill with water(mixed) tasted like a shot of grinded black pepper lol its over in 2-5min tho |
| Sam | posted 21-Jun-2008 4:20pm Hi! Ive been taking the pills for about 2 1/2 weeks. I started out good, and stayed on track of the diet, but for the past 1 1/2 weeks ive been very busy with finals and havent been able to work out or eat very healthy. I ate out a lot that week, and now I am finally getting back to normal. I will be running every morning, and trying to do crunches etc. several times a week. I figure if the pills help to raise your metabolism you will get better results when you work out. Even with being off of the recommended diet and not working out I still lost 4 pounds. I consider that a good amount for doing nothing. I drink a lot of water normally, and drink alot of water when I take the pills. I try to take them just before I eat, but If I wait a while before I eat then I do start to feel the burning sensation. I am 5'7" and started at 194. My ultimate goal is 140-150. I hope to lost 20 lbs. by the end of july. I will keep everyone posted on my results as I work out more. |
| desperate | posted 22-Jun-2008 9:18am well i ordered the pills on tuesday they arrived yesterday. i took my first dose this am, we'll see what happens |
| desperate | posted 25-Jun-2008 12:48pm I wanted to know if this is doing anything yet for those of you that have been taking it for a little while? I have only been taking it since Sunday, so far a couple of pounds, but it's just water weight. I am doing good with the diet, but I am not working out. |
| Anonymous | posted 3-Jul-2008 8:28am Hi all! Wanted to give you all an update. I've been taking Leptitrex for eight weeks now and have lost 16 pounds...More importantly is that I've lost inches in my chest, waist, hips and thighs! I'm really happy. I thought it would happen faster than this but maybe this way is better. They say if you lose it slowly you are more likely to keep it off. I don't excercise. I eat protein in the morning and either a salad or Lean Cuisine for lunch and then whatever the rest of my family is having for dinner. I usually don't snack, but if I do I don't berate myself. I just try to do better the next day. Oh yeah...Lots of water!~ :) |
| Mel | posted 3-Jul-2008 8:28am OOps that's me above as anonymous, sorry! |
| desperate | posted 3-Jul-2008 11:17am That is great news Mel. 16lbs. I have been taking for 2 weeks and lost 5lbs. I am having protein for breakfast and lunch and whatever for dinner. I do not exercise either. I also drink alot of water, and barely any snacks. |
| CRISSY-JAY | posted 3-Jul-2008 1:55pm Hi everyone, I placed my order last Tuesday, im hoping to get it soon. So i've been reading this blog and seems that ppl are getting mixed results with Leptitrex, I am excited and skeptical. I am 5"1 and currently weigh 125 lbs. i want to lose about 10 to 15 lbs. hopefully this product will work; most of my fat is at my stomach :(. Previously I took Cytolean (diet pill) it kinda work with moderate exercise and diet. I"ll keep everyone posted to see what kind of results i get ! to Desperate: what is you opinion on your results? |
| CRISSY-JAY | posted 3-Jul-2008 2:14pm oh to Jamsey girl what is the DETOX PHASE????? what do u do??? |
| losingit | posted 3-Jul-2008 2:47pm hey guys I am really considering purchasing this product, but there were four other products that seemed to be catching my eye. Has anyone tried Phenterfein, Fenphedra, and lipovox, or anoretix? Would appreciate any input ! |
| sam | posted 4-Jul-2008 1:04pm hey everyone. Ive been excercising and taking the pills and over the past 2 weeks ive lost about 4 pounds. I seem to keep bouncing up and down though. Does anyone have any advice? Also and advice on the best time/way to weigh yourself. Ive been weighing myself every morning. I just dont seem to see definite weigh loss results. I do feel however that this pill is helping me build muscle easier. Ive been doing a lot of resistance training, but maybe if I ran more I could get more fat off. |
| janaejo | posted 4-Jul-2008 4:19pm I have been on Leptitrex for 3 days. Have not weighed myself yet but I have been experiencing some hyperness, and I am very sensitive to caffeine. Has anyone else had this experience? These postings are encouring since there are no real instructions included with the pills! I have about 60 pounds to lose. Can someone forward to me the e-mail that you guys have been talking about? janaejo@yahoo.com |
