Deb,
Keep up the hard work, I try to excercise and my laziness wins everytime:) Make sure you take it until you finish the box, because with this pill it definately works differently for everyone. My mother thought she was going to see results fast and with her that's not the case. If you don't like the warm water, you can always try room temperature water; that's what I do.
Ggirl,
I would say getting the authentic, is a big question mark. I think we all think we have the authentic. It really all depends on your body. Everyone has mentioned different sites and while they work for them, they don't work for others. While Netr.. didn't work for your friend they have worked for others. Before I purchased mine (which by the way is not netri..), I found a post that said that arnoldsup... didn't work for them, but they might work for you. Remember just because it cost a lot doesn't mean it will work. I've found many postings of all different sites, some claiming it works and some claiming it doesn't. BIG Question Mark?
So, which ever way/site you go with, good luck. I wish we all have great and healthy results. No matter where we get it from, if it be the cheap or expensive route.

I got the pills from frutaplanta.com ($30.00 for one box), took them for 2 weeks and lost 7 pounds, however I stopped because I couldn't bear the fast heart beat, the insomnia, constipation, dry mouth, some anxiety... I have been off the pill for 5 days now, and still have some of the side effects, I guess I'll just wait for my body to get rid of the excess of the ingredients... I'm working out and eating healthy and regret taking these pills... I don't know if they are real or fake, all I know is that even being 30 pounds overweight always felt healthy and now I feel like crap... hopefully i'll get better soon and lose the weight the way it is supposed to be lost: Eating little and exercising!

Jackie, where did you get yours from?

I used to purchase mine from itseasytobefit dot com because everyone said that they had the same manufacturers as Japan 2 Day Ling Zhi Diet on amazon.
My friend and I purchased from itseasytobefit dot com around October and receieved a box WITHOUT holographic designs, the DUC on Reduce were in BOLD font and the pills were the same color as the box. THOSE PILLS WORKED WONDERS! MY FRIEND AND I LOST 25 POUNDS IN A MONTH, so we decided to buy four boxes each on the same website.
The second time we ordered, the box were completely different! They had holographic designs all over them. We didn't lose any weight but had horrible side effects. We got hungry, so we tried the PINK ADVANCE FP and those didn't work either.
I ordered from Japan 2 Day Ling Zhi Diet on amazon a couple days ago and their ad had a picture of a box WITHOUT the holographic. I hope these will be like the first box I got.
Btw, I haven't gain all the weight back. The most I've gained was over the holidays which was 4 pounds...other then that I have kept the weight off.

Elizabeth,
My 1st box was like the 1st ones you bought. I have not had the luck that you and your friend have had. I would love to lose 25 lbs. in a month. I stopped taking them the week before Christmas, having one more pkg in the box to take. Didn't really lose anything yet. I expected to feel something like no hunger or cravings. Didn't notice any change. Sometimes I thought they might be working since I wasn't too hungry that evening. That happened a couple of times. But other than that I didn't feel a change. What did you do when you started taking them? My friend told me I should stop eating carbs all together and I'll lose. I'm sure that's true but I thought the pills would make me not want to eat or curb cravings. Did you exercise, drink lots of water, what did you eat and did you want to eat other bad things and you just didn't? Like Christmas sweets? My weekness is sweets. :( I want this pill to help with that. I may just HAVE to try this new Weight Watchers plan after all.

hi guys, after months of hesitation and reading lots of pros and cons i took the plunge and have been fruta planta for 4 months taking breaks in between, i use to buy them off a seller on ebay but they no longer carry them, luckly i was able to keep in contact, i had friends and family buy the product and 8 out of 10 had results, my sister who is 230lbs says she had no effects which was weird since i dropped 14lbs in 2weeks. i dont loose much sleep but i notice i dont wake up groggy and i drink lots of water. i recommend my seller who takes payments thru paypal and you can text or email orders, i get a better price because of my continued business but she sells them for $15 including the shipping!! good luck with all lets trade tips and tricks! new year new mind! i plan to stay healthier for 2011.

I'm a little nervous. Just received the boxes today, then saw all these warnings about it here... Looked up one of the ingredients that gave heart attacks, and its said it was banned in the USA now...

I'm currently taking CLA, and SAM-e for depression. Should i STOP everything while on fruta planta?

AND if anyone did blood work, any metal poisoning?

FDA Warns Against Fruta Planta Weight Loss Products

Published January 03, 2011
| The Wall Street Journal
Print Email Share Comments (2) Text Size The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has disclosed PRock Marketing LLC would recall all Fruta Planta weight loss products, after testing confirmed they contained sibutramine, a drug withdrawn from the market for safety reasons.

According to the FDA, PRock, a branding and distribution company, is recalling Fruta Planta and Reduce Weight Fruta Planta. The FDA said it has received "multiple reports of adverse events" associated with the use of the products, including several cardiac events and one death.

The FDA advised consumers halt use of the product "immediately" and throw it away in a sealed container to avoid consumption. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects were advised to consult a health care professional.

PRock's recall notice recommends consumers destroy the product or return it to the company. Consumers may reach PRock at 1-877-225-1009.

According to a website where the product was sold, Fruta Planta was an "all natural organic" Chinese weight loss drug that touted its ability to eliminate body fat, saying users could lose up to 15 pounds in the first month without diet or exercise. Fruta Planta was marketed as a product that could boost metabolism, curb appetite and cut food cravings.

Efforts to reach the company were initially unsuccessful.

The disclosure came after the FDA sent a letter to dietary-supplement makers earlier this month expressing concern about improperly labeled products with substances that don't qualify as dietary ingredients. The FDA has alerted consumers to at least 300 tainted products marketed to dietary supplements in recent years and received numerous injury complaints related to them.

Unlike drugs, dietary supplements don't require FDA approval, though manufacturers and distributors are responsible for selling a safe product.

Fruta Planta is NOT safe at all! I started taking it about 10 days ago because my cousin told me her 12 year old son lost 45 lbs using these pills for 5 months. The idea of losing weight so quickly and easily was so appealing that I decided on giving them a try because I thought they were natural..after all, my cousin gave them to a child! The day I took them I was so sluggish and the pill immediately knocked me out for about 2 hours. The second day, I had a temporary headache at night and was unable to sleep until 3am. I did not experience much dry mouth, perhaps because I drank enough water. The next few days, horrible things began to happen to me. My heart was racing, my chest was hurting incredibly- as if I had 300lbs sitting on me. I had painful stomach cramps that led to diarrhea and vomiting. Because of all these side effects, I started to research this "100% natural pill" and after 20 plus hours of research I have found many horrible truths. Fruta planta has sibutramine, arsenic, lead and mercury along with the fruits and plants it claims to have! I was so furious that I decided on calling a number the FDA had given me of a distributor that was recalling fruta planta. The representative told me that fruta planta is not natural, that it does have lead, arsenic (rat poison) and mercury in low quantities from the pesticides used on the "planta". This company Prock also stated that they were unaware that all fruta planta pills whether fake or original contained sibutramine at first but now knows that each pill has sibutramine in it. When I asked her how much sibutramine each pill contained, the representative said "anywhere from 12-18.9mg" (thats double the amount that was prescribed and monitored to obese patients in the past) Sibutramine has been taken off the market in the U.S. and in numerous countries because of the damage it can do to the heart. It can increase many cardiovascular diseases and lead to stroke or heart attack. I don't know how many deaths exactly sibutramine or fruta planta have caused but I am sure it is dangerous enough to be taken off the market. I ended up in the emergency room 2 days ago on an EKG that read 126 - and I still have chest pain. I would not advise anyone to continue taking this pill even if you do see weight loss. the 5 or 6 lbs I lost in these 10 days are not worth the side effects or rushing to a hospital because I felt like I was having a heart attack- The cardiologist said that I am not the first case she sees with high blood pressure because of these diet pills. I hope this has been informational- you can always read more about what fruta planta really contains on the FDAwebsite and also call this number 877-225-1009 with all your questions before 5pm. I left a message and someone got back to me immediately. Drink a gallon of water and flush this pill out ASAP.

this is what I see on their official website frutaplanta.com:

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRock Marketing, LLC
Jan 19, 2011

The FDA has recently requested the STOP SALE of Reduce Weight Fruta Planta and issue a product recall.

In a recent test we discovered that the Fruta Planta pill contains a drug called Sibutramine. This drug is an appetite suppressant that is use in an obesity drug called Meridia. In October 2010, due to a six-year-long clinical study known as Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial (SCOUT) the obesity drug Meridia (sibutramine) was voluntary withdrawn from the market. Since Reduce Weigh Fruta Planta has been found to also contain the drug Sibutramine and its' label does not meet U.S. standards the FDA had determined that Reduce Weigh Fruta Planta should also be removed from the market.

According to the parameters of the recent clinical study of the drug Meridia conducted by Abbott Laboratories only subject that were at least 55 years of age and had preexisting cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes or both were included in the study and in this test group ONLY were there increased risk in nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke.

The FDA advises against taking ALL Formulas of Reduce Weigh Fruta Planta/Reduce Weight products. These products pose a threat to consumers because Sibutramine may substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke.

PRock Marketing and www.frutaplanta.com recent learned of this new information and want our users to be advised. We are currently working to find a solution to this issue and will inform our clients as soon as we know more information. As always we encourage all consumers to consult with their doctor before taking any type of over the counter weight loss supplement.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Fruta Planta

yes, I have been suffering from insomnia for 3 wks now, I was taking these pills for 2wks, and now I have to take the RX ambian to sleep until my body bounces back, I have been to the ER and to the doctors for this. DO NOT TAKE THIS, it's not worth having insomnia, you don't even feel like yourself.

I got FP in flushing New York, I don't know if this is the real one but I have dry mouth, I don't really feel hungry at all. And thirsty all the time, I can't sleep at night. And feel all up all day when I take it.
I will keep you posted guys....

I have read a lot of positive and negative things about FP. it really seems to me that everyone reacts different to them. Here is my experience:

I am 5'5" and started at 151 pounds, almost a size 8

I have been taking FP for about 7 weeks and have lost about 16 pounds!!! So I am now at 135 pounds

I have lost 1 full dress size and feeling great about that. I can wear size 6 clothes I had stored away for over 3 years!!! and even those are starting to feel a bit loose.

I got mine in Chinatown in NY and made sure they are the original. (with all the seals and stamps)
For the first week or so I had trouble sleeping and was very constipated, but I raised my fiber intake and got some natural digestive capsules, they helped a lot.
I also had really bad dry mouth, drinking water helped.
I have been taking them from monday to friday and have left the weekends out to let my system relax.
Sometimes I do feel a little bit of anxiety and heat flushes, but I have noticed that this happens only when I really don't eat enough or wait too long after taking the pill in the morning.

The side effects have gotten less now, but weight loss has slowed down a bit. This doesn't worry me much though because I am only about 8 pounds away from my minimum goal (127 pounds, size 4-5).
It is really great how they control my cravings, it used to be almost impossible for me to resist bread and other "bad" foods ;-)
They help me to feel satisfied faster, like before I would have 2 scoops of Ice cream, now I can't even finish one....before I couldn't stop eating peanut M&M's until the whole bag was gone, now I take a hand full and thats it, no going back for more.

At first my husband was all "oh yeah, suuuure you'll loose 25 pounds with some pill, keep dreaming sister" but after he saw the results so far, he asked me to buy more for him to start.... ;-)
He has not had side effects either, appart from dry mouth but they don't seem to help with his cravings as much and in a week he has only lost 2 pounds...
maybe he is a slow starter, he will continue for now.

However my sister in law started taking them and stopped because of a lot of the bad side effects.
insommnia, anxiety, headache, dizzyness.... she got the whole "bad trip", she got really scared.

I say, listen to your body and be aware of any extreme changes or discomfort. eat healthy and drink lots of water.

well I don't have the contact info for the shop, as it was a grocery store in Chinatown. I just went in and asked if she sells them... sorry :-(
the last ones I bought from a seller in Miami. The interior packaging looks a bit different, but they seem to be original. I just started the new package after a break from the first ones to jump start my weight loss again.
I plateaud after loosing 17 pounds in about 2 months and have been stable at 135 pounds for 2 weeks. Of course I watch what I eat, like no carbs after 6 pm etc. and keep the portions small. after 2 months of eating less you realize that you actually need very few food to feel full. a handful of plain almonds (not salted or sweetened) does wonders for afternoon munchies, together with lots of water.
but what really helped me loose the weight was the food I ate for dinner. no more carbs after 6 like I mentioned, I usually have a yoghurt (regular, NOT non-fat) and 1 to 2 fruits. I always make myself a pitcher of Tea (scented white tea or jasmine green tea are great because they taste good without sweetening) to sip along while relaxing on the couch. The last store I bought from was frutaplantastore.com

My friends and I were taking fruta planta for 2 months and we had no side effects what so ever that would cause us to have any discomfort or health issues . I guess it all depends on the person who is taking them, and how they are taking it. As long as you drink plenty of water and eat meals and snacks in between you will be fine. Now I have to agree with some of you, when you purchase the 2nd or third boxes it doesn't do the same job that the 1st box did. which did strike me odd but I assumed maybe its because I wasn't going to the gym.
