Just read a bit about them - seems like they work by suppressing your appetite. Be careful of stuff like this as often it contains stimulants such as Speed, ephedrine, caffeine. All CNS stimulants which have unpleasant effects for some such as heart palpitations, 'mind' problems, 'the fears' etc.
Edit: Just found out they contain Sida Cordifolia - so nothing new. This is a form of Ephedrine, mentioned above and is indeed, as stated above too, a CNS stimulant. It's not as potent as Ephedra (which is the herbal 'base' of speed), but is still a CNS stimulant and a massive appetite suppressant and therefore the side effects are similar. It's the stimulant side that is making people feel like they have more energy.
I can vouch for the fact that it is effective BUT you need to drink lots of water and if you feel 'racing', you need to give them a break.
A few years back it was Ephedra in all the slimming pills but is now banned accross Europe and the US. II'll have some cheese please, bob.0 -
PS: it might be cheaper to just seek out Sida Cordifolia alone. It's not too expensive, but not sure how much these chocolate bananas cost.
Edit: Just to warn you that one other side effect of this herb is that during the day you are happy, energetic and euphoric, but by the evening, you feel 'wired', and perhaps a bit snappy, so if you have family, best to be prepared and have something calming like cammomile tea at hand for the evening.I'll have some cheese please, bob.0 -

Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?0 -
They come with little info - but currently this is how my day goes
in the morning as soon as i wake i take 2-3 choc banabba tabs with water
by the time im all up & ready im usualy starving but since choc ban i have no appetite -
come dinner i still not hungry but force down an apple & bananna
then tea im still not hungry - but again force down fresh fish/chicken
i usualy drink about 5/6 coffees a day and few glasses of water -
weighed myself yesterday and have lost 1/2 stone - so yet to see how this week pans out - so far so good but im very sceptical.
a friend who told me about these lost around 4 stone - n about 3 month think he saidHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team0 -
MissK do they make you feel jittery at all or have problems sleeping? Did you have to wean yourself onto them (does that make sense?) xxI have realised I will never play the Dane!

Where are my medals? Everyone else on here has medals!!
