I was thinking it would be nice to drop a few pounds and started looking at diet pills. I came across Metabolife and talked to a friend who was using it and she told me the following: Metabolife originally contained ephedrine (which is derived from the ma huang root). Apparently in 1994  ephedrine was banned by the FDA, so any diet supplement that contained ephedrine had to be either pulled off the shelves or remade so that the ephedrine was no longer an ingredient.

My friend explained to me that she finds that Metabolife works great as long as she maintains an exercise regimen and eats a proper diet that consists of many vitamins and minerals. She has noticed that she has more energy and doesn’t get as hungry when she drinks water throughout the day and snacks on healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables. I think I might pick up some Metabolife today and give it a try. She really seems to think it works and she has already lost 15 pounds.
