Question:
Has anyone had positive results after taking Metabolife?

I've read all the posts on Metabolife and the majority are negative responses. I was curious if it has helped any long term post ops get over the "big" plateau that usually comes when you still have about 30 pounds until goal.    — Tracey D. (posted on July 2, 2001)

I'm still pre-op. I used Metabolife for about 4 weeks and didn't lose a single pound. And because of all the "junk" in it, I would never recommend it to post-ops to jump the plateau.

Please don't waste your money. I think that the only reason it works on some people is because they believe it will so it works like a placibo.

I used Metabolife for 3 months and lost 20-25lbs only to gain it back plus another 15lbs, it depleted my potassium so bad that I had horrific leg cramps. But my uncle used it and lost 60 lbs and has kept it off for over a year. I think he is still using it every now and then. So I guess it works different on everyone.
