My two cents worth. I'd stay far away from the metabolife. The main ingredient (Ma Huang - spelling?) has already been banned in two states, and its a lot more powerful than caffeine. I took the metabolife plunge a while ago, and I thought my heart would palpitate right out of my meager chest!

Plus, it made me an absolute bear, and everything anyone did made me cranky.

I joined a Spiritial Weigh-Down group (my goodness, Weight Watchers, Spiritial Weigh Down, Metabolife, and now Atkins!) and the leader compared artificial help, like weight loss pills, to worshiping golden calves instead of listening to the voice of reason.

Please just stick to sensible lo-carbing and safe vitamins.
