Hey gopro! I just finished my first complete bottle of VPX Meltdown and I REALLY lvoed the product. The whole time i was taking it appetite was down energy and mood seemed up everything I was looking for and I went from around 12.6% BF to 10%BF.

My problem now is that I know I have to take breaks from it so I am going to go ahead and go off for about 2 and half weeks since I was on t for around 5.

This is only the second day of being off of it and I a feeling really hungry. Is there another supplement I can take until I can get back on my meltdown? Any advice would be great!

Thanks for the feedback!

You can try a product based on Hoodia extract. That works well for some.

I myself do not post often but always lurk. I first saw this thread 3 months ago and decided to try meltdown. The product I used before (Lipodrene) had ephedra and it made my muscles feel really flat. Meltdown, yams, and really lean meats have knocked 20lbs off weight so far after 2 cycles, and have gone up tremendously in strength. I am NOT paid by VPX and absolutely love this product. Good Bye ephedra for me.

Great feedback I also loved Meltdown and kissed the ephedra away

Thanks for that feedback. I DO have to admit that Meltdown is the first fat burner that has somewhat made me forget about E/C/A stacks...although I still must say the VPX's Clenbutrx is still the strongest fat burner I ever used.

Hey guys, I've only been using Meltdown for 5 days, but I have to say so far I am extremely impressed. Obviously it's too soon to gauge fat loss, but as far as an appetite suppressant, this stuff is crazy. I haven't been a huge eater in the past (maintenance calories prob around 2600), but I've had to FORCE myself to eat while on this stuff b/c I want to eat so little.

Seriously, I am doing a PSMF for the first time, and the program I'm following calls for me to get about 250g of protein per day and about 1200 calories a day total. It has not been difficult at all to restrict myself to 1200. There have been 2 days so far where I've almost ended the day at 750 calories and was not hungry at all, but had to force myself to eat before bed to get to 1000. I really don't think it would be healthy at all, but on this stuff I think I could easily restrict myself to 500 calories a day. It's crazy.

As for energy, obviously when you're eating less than 20g of carbs and only about 1000 calories per day, you're going to get pretty tired. But Meltdown definitely gives me the energy to get through my workouts and make it through the day no problem. If I feel tired, I just pop a Meltdown and I'm good to go for 3-4 hours. I've been taking 2 every morning right when I get up and then sometimes I take another later in the day if I'm feeling extra tired. It works great.

I haven't even weighed in after 5 days, b/c I'd rather just wait the 2 weeks I'm going to be on the diet before checking my loss, so I can't report on weight/fat loss. But with how easy it is to restrict calories, I have no doubt I'll lose at least 5 lbs of fat in the 2 weeks. And it gives you great energy as well. So far, I'm definitely digging the Meltdown!

Did one cycle and the stuff was great body fat definitely down but weight went up. I stacked it with 6-OXO. Sorry for the complete lack of scientific back up but I dropped 2 pant sizes in a little over a month.

My question for Gopro is what is the difference if any between the Meltdown with blue strips (I had this one) on the label as opposed to the Meltdown with red striped label?

Glad to hear you did so well with Meltdown! Thanks for the feedback!

As for the label, as long as it is the NEW MD, then it is the same. They often tweak the labels at VPX. Just look at the ingredient profile and if it matches, it is the same exact product.

Definately a good product

vpx, muscltech, eas yeah they are all a bit overhyped, but you have to realize that they do put a lot of money into r&d and if they come out with a new product....it's pretty much gonna have what its says it has on the label, some of these smaller outfits, well, you dont ever know. Meltdown is a solid product no doubt, is it as good as hyperdrive 3.0? I don't know, i only tried a sample pack, but im sure its legit.

Interesting you should say this because I did my 4 week cycle on Meltdown and I really did love it. I took 2 weeks off and now I am trying Hyperdrive 3.0. I am not changing because there was anything I did not like about the meltdown, in fact I loved the meltdown and it worked GREAT for me. I just wanted to try another fat burner to compare them. I will let you know after a while what the differences are between them. Differences so far:

Hyperdrive 3.0 gets me more jittery than Meltdown did. However I do feel a bit more energy when on the Hyperdrive. I also had no trouble sleeping when on the meltdown. I HAVE to make sure I take my Hyperdrive early in the AM or I am going to have a hard time sleeping at night. But like I said, I feel a little more energy with the hyperdrive. I will find out in a few weeks if the greater energy is worth the lack of sleep and the jitters.

I do have a question for Gopro, that I'm hoping he or someone can help answer.

I've been redirected to try out Meltdown but I do have my doubts. You see, I've tried the liquid form of Redline and it has basically no effect on me. I'm guessing it's because my system was used to the high dose of caffeine from drinking coffee a lot, but I'm unsure of that.

I'm in serious need of a really good fat burner, I want some quick results (although I know nothing works over night) and it seems like Meltdown works wonders, but again, I have my doubts.

Secondly, if you were to compare Redline to Lean Xtreme, which would you suggest? I've been told both work well, but Lean Xtreme is good for targeting problem areas, such as stomach and love handles.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. I appreciate your time and any info you can give me.



I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter.

You are certainly a RARE nonresponder to Redline. In fact, I do not even use Redline because it affects me TOO MUCH! It makes me feel ill!

However, Meltdown worked beautifully for me, and I always felt great on it. Also had no problems sleeping and great focus in the gym.

It has worked extremely well for the MAJORITY of users, but of course that is not a guarantee that it will work as well for you. All of us repsond somewhat differently to even the BEST formulas.

I would definitely give MD a try though because so far its track record is fantastic.

As for Lean Extreme, this is a solid product that works through a somewhat different mechanism than Meltdown. Certainly these two products can be cycled back and forth.

I thank you for your input. I'll try anything once, so I'll definitely give this a go in a few weeks.

I'm not going to go through 15 pages to check, but I'm pretty sure this is my first post in this thread. With that I'd like to send a HUGE thank-you to my friend Eric (gopro) for turning me on to this product. I screwed up by not taking a before picture or any formal measurements, but I can say for a fact this stuff is great. My workout routine hasn't changed a bit; brisk walks seven days a week and weights three times a week. The only diet change was to eat salad for lunch instead of a huge helping of left overs from the previous night's dinner.

I almost came unglued a month ago when I had to go out and buy jeans with a size 40 waist. I repeat, that was one month ago. This morning I comfortably got back into my size 36's. Not anywhere near where I should be, but a Hell of a lot better than where I was a month ago.

Thanks again Eric. You da' man.

I have been combing through this thread for a few days now debating on weather or not to try this product but this thread did it for me. I recently got off a PSMF and am cutting now with good results (down almost 20 lbs ) but feel the EC stack I'm taking now isn't doing what it's supposed to. I have to try this stuff. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes, please let us know. Feedback is important. I hope it does as well for you as so many others!

I got Meltdown in the mail on Saturday and tried it on Sunday.

Let's just say my experience with Meltdown wasn't a good one.

Please explain.

How many caps did you take?

What were the negative effects?

Details please.

Thanks!
