Vpx's New Meltdown...

ihatechicken · 10-10-2008, 10:31 AM

Gopro,

I've been lurking in here for two months and have finally joined to ask you these questions.

I am taking Meltdown. Now the bottle says not to exceed 3 capsules a day. I am taking 3 upon waking and then 3 about 5-6 hours later (usually around noon). Is that ok? Is it possible to take even more? What would be your cutoff time in the day so it does not affect sleep? Does it matter if it is on an empty stomach?

Also could you explain a little on why this type of product needs to be cycled?

Im definitely not a newb. I've used Redline, eat well, etc. Im a hard gainer and at 6' and 153 pounds obviously looking to get rid of that little bit that keeps full definition from happening. So if you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks.

6 per day is about the maximum dose anyone should take. I am sure some people go higher, but I would not recommend it.

I find that it does not really affect my sleep, but I would say the last dose for most should be no later than 6 hours before bedtime.

Yes, take it on an empty stomach for better results.

Like any supplement, your body will become "tolerant" to the effects of the ingredients, and thus it should be cycled for max effect.

Here is the results of week one and I am soooo psyched!!!!

I have been taking one pill three times a day:

I lost over 3 lbs to be under 170 for the first time in 2 1/2 years!!!

My BMI went down from 30.1 to 29.3

My visceral fat went down from 8 to 6.

This is so incredible!!! All of this and my hectic week's schedule only allowed me to work out four times!! (two cardio and two belly dance classes

)

I just increased my dosage and I am looking forward to next week's results

Wow! Awesome!

what kind of results do you expect???

BabySteps · 10-16-2008, 05:59 AM

I am new to this forum and have been thrilled to find a ton of great information. I had read about Meltdown previous to this forum and found the stats quite impressive. After additional research, I have a few questions for gopro:

1. One user was upset because she said the bottle stated the product was for those 15 pounds overweight or less. I want to get rid of 20 pounds, so is this not right for me?

2. I tried Ripped Fuel by Twinlab and found it to be too stimulating which made me feel horrible. Is there any comparison to Meltdown?

3. I found several websites that sell tons of supplements and fat burners yet had negative reviews about Meltdown, one going so far to say that it was 'vomit'. The concensus is that they 'threw this together' and made outlandish claims.

I just want the facts. I have been taking boot camp classes for the past year and have started lifting. I want to keep forward progress, so I really want to choose the right fat burner for me (I've never touched any of this stuff before trying Ripped Fuel). Thanks for your thoughts!

Helavagal · 10-16-2008, 06:07 AM

I was not expecting anything, but who knows if claims are true or not. I just felt like I was exercising and exercising and nothing was moving on the meter. I was just surprised.

I too experienced some symptoms of an anxiety attack for several days. I stopped taking it and they have subsided. I have been treated for anxiety in the past, so this is nothing new for me (though I have not had them for a short while now)... I would like to give it another go in the near future.

My wife is taking it with no side effects what so ever, so I am not bashing the product in any way. I am really anxious to try it again myself.

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.

Hyperdrive (aka venom) is my favorite supplement period! I used it in the spring time to drop 48 lbs... then used it off a on to maintain and up my cardio (mainly bike riding) which I smashed all of previous benchmarks! I am looking for another product to cycle, then take some time off and run a cycle of venom around the first of the year (I do have a lot of weight to lose yet).

That being said I have been trying the meltdown and had some side effects (anxiety) the first time. I took a week off and am now trying it again. I am hoping for less side effects this time around as the energy and appetite control seemed to be better than most other products.

I do have a problem worrying too much. I'm a hypochondriac so when this happened I freaked out more than I should have. I remember when my symptoms were off and on, I had to breathe heavily and calm myself down, just so my heart rate and blood pressure would drop. I had to help myself since the damn ER wouldn't.

My current weight is 180 lbs and I'm 5'10. Even though everything has passed, my chest / heart area still gives me problems. I have a little pain underneath my left pec muscle, as well as my right side sometimes. It feels like someone is pinching it, or otherwise putting some type of pressure on it. I'm not sure if its heart related, but whatever it is makes me feel like I wanna pass out at times. My heart is healthy from what the EMT guy told me, so I have no worries there. I guess one way to describe what I'm feeling is rather simple: my heart feels like it does when fear strikes - you get that warm tingling feeling inside and a little bit of pain from excitement. I feel that all day long and its annoying.

I would strongly suggest getting a physical just to give you piece of mind. The symptoms you are describing are very similar to what I had. With that being said, I know what mine are and what caused them. I have been treated for anxiety (and have gotten off all their BS meds). The positive mood effects of meltdown themselves are similar to SOME of the symptoms of an anxiety attack, the acute mental focus and warm sensations can specifically be named. So when these start to occur it would make sense that they could trigger the body to elicit a stronger response.

I have also noticed that certain stims cause my chest muscles to hurt (they become sore right on top of the breast plate). I can actually crack my rib cage! Not to the point of being painful, just annoying.

It's funny, through the process of getting healthy you can really start to get in tune with your body. It's really exciting to learn the patterns and see the as the changes occur!

I wish everyone their continued success!

Marxxx

1-Most people using Meltdown are "more than 15 lbs overweight."
2-Most people do not find MD to be overly stimulating, but this could be different for extremely sensitive individuals.
3-Meltdown so far has a proven track record with about 85% of users reporting good to excellent results. There have been very few complaints.

For me, it is certainly the best NON-EPHEDRA-BASED fat burner I have ever used.

Thanks for the answers. I have been using Meltdown for 3 days now and my intial reaction is:

1. Definitely had a feel good feeling for several hours after I took it--very pleasant and calm and warm.

2. No jitteries at all--in fact I slept like a baby that night (I am starting with one capsule, not two).

3. My appetite was definitely not what it usually is. I actually walked away from pie last night at a football party!

It's obviously too early to tell on the fat loss, but I'll keep others posted who may want to try it.

So far so good, and very in line with most initial feedback reports!

I have been reading a lot about Meltdown for the past week, and yesterday I decided to give it a shot. I've tried MT's Hydroxycut Hardcore and had great results with it, but I did not like the jitters it gave me. Today is only my second day on Meltdown so I will update once a week with my results.

By the way I'm 6' 3" and 212 pounds, I'm not fat by any means but I'm not as trim as I want to be thus why I'm giving Meltdown a shot.

Very interested in Meltdown, however, when I have taken Yohimbine caps or other products containing Yohimbine, I would get a nausea feeling. Given the various Yohimbine ingredients, would this likely also apply to Meltdown?

Are there any samples available of Meltdown? Would hate to order a whole bottom to only experience the same problem.

If you are sensitive to yohimbe, then yes, MD could make you nauseous. Call VPX to see if they will send you samples.
