My goal was to lose a bunch of weight quickly to get back to training. I lost about 10 lbs in 2 weeks, but I gave up early because I was tired of shitting all day. I was also getting headaches and dizzy spells, maybe due to arsenic and lead, maybe due to dehydration from shitting all the time. I don't recommend it, unless you have a really good book you're trying to finish.

Was looking at this and wondering if it was for me. Lead, mercury and arsenic poisoning doesnt sound too pleasant....but on the other hand 10lbs is a lot of weight to lose ;)

Maybe ill join a library..thanks for the reply!

Woaa.. nice heads up info.. i was planning to buy GNC protein shake.. From the site you gave, it is just a few products that reviewed, should i just pass the protein shake to gain muscle or just pick the most good brand people bought and stop being too paranoid?
Thank you so much..
