Cammo Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 What's the point in taking the stuff if you're getting depressed on it - most people lift weights & exercise to feel good about themselves.Your mental health is more important than a couple of % BF - You should stop taking the Lipo 6 & send it to me - I'll tell you if it works or not :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammo Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I've used it before - didn't get depressed but did get a bit jittery the first few days - it has what they call "synephrine" in it - some kind of ephedra free stimulant.See the Lipo6 label here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Lipo6 has yohimbine HCL in it which is banned in NZ. If anything yohimbine based products should help alleviate depression as it is a mild MAO inhibitor. What you probably don't want to do is use yohimbe with antidepressants, BZP/TFMPP, or stimulants as that may make you feel more of a comedown. MAO inhibitors cause elevated levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine and so when it wears off the user will normally have a bit of a low.I would imagine that this is one of the main reasons it is banned in NZ, and this can cause mild anxiety due to over stimulation of the CNS. Other reasons why its not legally available OTC in NZ include - http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/HerbsW ... be,00.html:Yohimbine may affect the way that the body eliminates water, which may worsen kidney conditions. Therefore, individuals with kidney diseases should avoid taking yohimbe and products made from it.Men who have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) should also avoid yohimbe and yohimbine due to the possibility that they may promote prostate enlargement and worsen the symptoms of BPH.Yohimbe and yohimbine may affect the balance of neurotransmitters involved in maintaining emotional status. Therefore, individuals who have or who have had anxiety, depression, or mental illnesses should not take yohimbine.Although yohimbe and yohimbine are not generally used by women, they may cause the uterus to relax, if taken by a female. Taking it while pregnant may result in a miscarriage. In addition, chemicals in yohimbe may damage a developing fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid yohimbe and yohimbine.Yohimbe and yohimbine may affect children more than adults. Since very small amounts of yohimbe have caused severe anxiety-like responses in children, it should not be given to children. Caffeine increases the central nervous system stimulation effect of yohimbe and yohimbine. The combination may cause excessive nervousness and irritability, along with other signs of over-stimulation. In addition, the risk of a hypertensive crisis increases when caffeine and yohimbe are taken together. Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, soft drinks, and tea should not be consumed when taking yohimbe or yohimbine.Yohimbe and yohimbine may enhance the effects of alcohol, leading to a feeling of intoxication with only a small amount of alcohol ingestion.Drugs that block the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) may interact seriously with tyramine, a chemical in that helps maintain blood pressure levels in the body. Tyramine is found in many beverages and foods including beer, red wine, aged or smoked meats, certain cheeses, sauerkraut, and yeast. Since yohimbine is a mild MAO inhibitor, a dangerous rise in blood pressure may result if it is taken with any food or drink containing tyramines.

fudoc5 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i think that the yohimbine is the key ingredient to the fat loss in lipo6. where did you buy yours from?is it a nz or us import,the nz version has no yohimbine in it where as the us version does. since you are not seeing any results i'm guessing it might be the nz lipo6 version that you have bought. i too have used up one bottle of lipo6 bought frm nz store and cant see much results. does any one else agree?

waldo Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i too have used up one bottle of lipo6 bought frm nz store and cant see much results. Maybe your diet wasn't that good when you used the NZ version. I wouldn't make a sweeping statement like that. It's not like the added yohimbe is going to guarantee x amount % increase in fat loss. You have no way of quantifying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have over 13 hours where you don't eat any protein. It kind of looks like a low carb/ high protein diet that you are following but then the meagre amount of carbs you eat half are at night. Other than the almonds you're eating, you have very little dietary fat in there. If you're on a low carb diet you need to add a high proportion of your calories from fats - good efa's like nuts and seeds, oils, avocado, salmon, olives etc, and some saturated fats - whole eggs, cheese, red meat etcI haven't added it up and don't know your stats but I'd wager your calorie intake is actually a bit low. Do you sleep for 12 hours or something? Because your food intake is condensed into 11.5 hours of the day you've really just been starving yourself for the last 8 weeks so your body hasn't actually been in fat burning mode. You can't really blame the thermo's if that really is the exact diet you've been following.If you don't mind me asking, who devised the diet for you?

fudoc5 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you don't mind me asking, who devised the diet for you?i cant afford a nutritionist so i do all my research trhough the library, bb magazines,and bb.com. i also ask and consult with local body builders about their own diets and compare it to mine to see how i could improve on it. the diet i follow is not detailed,but each protein shake has 40-50g carbs in it. reson why i eat most my carbs later in the day is because i work out late,hence i need the energy. cant say the diet is perfect, but if you could suggest any improvements would be greatly appreciated.

waldo Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Dude, if you refrain from purchasing a bottle of Lipo 6, then you will be able to afford a nutritionist (they honestly aren't as expensive as you think) and the results you get will far outweigh the fatburners.

Flex Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Don't get so hung up about yohimbine based products. It's not all that flash and it's no magic bullet. They tried it in the 90's and it never proved too popular, now they've added some fresh spin to it and it's going around again. There are a few studies around showing that yohimbine can help with fat loss but at much higher doses than what you'll find in the majority of fat burners - at least 16mg per day, and in one study up to 0.4mg per kilo (i.e. 32mg at 80kg) of Yohimbine (not Yohimbe) per day. You'd need to take at least 10 caps of lipo6 to start getting close to what they use in studies.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entre ... stractPlushttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entre ... stractPlushttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=...ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlusAnd this study showed absolutely no efffect at all with daily doses up to 43mg - I'm guessing here that the subjects weren't exercising though.These studies were done in the late 80's and early 90's so it's not like Yohimbine's new - it's just that now ephedrine/ephedra is well and truly off the shelves the supplement companies need something else to push.
