hi deedee- i bought some, but have only tried one once. i didn't notice much. if you want to whisper your address to me, i'll put a couple in an envelope for you and send them- then you can try them before you buy. i do think they're a good idea, though- can't hurt.
Life Caps are a supervitamin that were formulated to help people in an emergency situation where food might not be readily available. The capsules are completely absorbed into the bloodstream within 20 minutes and have a neutral pH balance. There are no stimulants or ephedra in them. The co. says that if you have these and plenty of water, you could sustain life for at least 2 weeks. I figured they would be a great addition to our 72-hour kits and to keep in the glove box of our cars...just in case. When I got my order, I decided to do an experiment. I have severe hypoglycemia and also suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. I was so impressed. I had a really busy day that first day. I had much more energy than I have had for a really long time. This was a real surprise! I also felt peaceful and balanced. I knew that I had found something that would help my family. The next morning when I got weighed, I found that I had shed 6 lbs.!! That was a definite BONUS!
I thought "If these can help in an emergency situation, why wouldn't they help me while I am on hcg or just in regular life?" I was just getting ready to start my 4th round of hcg, which works somewhat well for me, but often leaves me feeling hungry and wiped out. So, right now I am using 1 capsule a day along with my other healthy food. I usually average 400 calories a day. This has made the biggest difference! I am doing so well...better than I have in many years. There is a very minuscule amount of sugar in the capsule, but it has not affected me negatively nor at least 60 other people using these while on hcg thus far. The whole capsule contains only 1/8 tsp. of total contents, so I knew there couldn’t be much sugar with all the other ingredients in there. I am energized, happy, peaceful, and NOT HUNGRY! The good nutrition in those capsules are giving me what I need. They have truly been a blessing for me. I also want to clarify that the Life Caps Co. makes no claim about these being a diet pill. I just chose to use them to supplement my weightloss diet and have had major success...30 lbs. in 35 days and lovin' life! The reason this is so amazing is that looking back at my previous rounds, the most weight I had taken off in 35 days was 17.5 lbs., so that is huge! You normally lose LESS in subsequent rounds, not MORE! I have now taken off 74 lbs....31 more to reach my goal weight!
When I ordered mine, I paid full price for mine...$29.95 a bottle for 30 caps, but if you order on their website (www.lifecaps.net) and type in the word 'lifeline' in the spot where it asks for a coupon code, you get $10 off PER BOTTLE. Those in UT have to pay tax since the co. is in UT. The shipping is free and the handling is $4.95 no matter how many bottles you order. You can use this code more than once if you decide to order again and again and again.
Remember, if you take them while on hcg, you will probably only need one a day. The suggested serving says 3 a day, but that is for an emergency situation when there is no food available. One day I did take two because we were on a family outing and were gone twice as long as planned and I didn’t have enough of my diet foods with me. Some people don’t take their Life Cap till about 30 minutes before lunch because they have a harder time with hunger/low energy in the afternoon and early evening. I do drink about 2-3 more cups of water each day...not that I am so thirsty...just feel like my body needs more if that makes sense. Some tell me it takes 2-3 days before they noticed a big change, but I noticed a change the first hour.
Since I have been such a cheerleader for Life Caps, they contacted me and wanted to reward me by giving me a referral fee just for telling people about their wonderful product. I wanted to be upfront about this.
Also, Life Caps makes your hair and fingernails grow. This is great because while you are on hcg, many people temporarily lose some of their hair. They are also being used with overweight pets. The Life Caps Co. is going thru the necessary steps right now to gain the official approval to market Life Caps as safe for animals. It would be best to show a bottle of Life Caps to your vet and get his/her opinion since the co. cannot make any official claims or suggestions on dosages at this point. I am not an employee of the company and am only sharing what some other customers are doing with the Life Caps.

I hope they do for you what they did for me. I am now in P3 and stabilizing nicely...first time in 4 rounds. I am very pleased. I purposely didn't take the Life Caps the first few days of my P2 so that I could really see if they make a difference...they did. I purposely did not take them the first week of P3 because I wanted to see how my bloodsugar would do without them. I had a theory that since before adding Life Caps, my bloodsugar had never stabilized my whole P2, and this then negatively affected my P3 and P4, that IF I could just get it to stabilize during my P2, I would not have the rebound hunger that I had experienced in prior rounds and that that would help me stabilize in my P3 and P4. My theory was correct. I am so happy about this. I did add them back this week for energy purposes and will continue to use them. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Life Caps really make a huge difference in that. I want to start walking more to help build muscle and to help increase my stamina and I know I will need that extra energy. Good Luck!
Thank you guys for this information! I am trying to maintain my newly re-gained girlish figure, but worry that I am not getting proper nutrition. I will get some ordered ASAP.
ljrgirl, Thank you so much for the information. I want to try the ones mgsondance sending and then, I'll probably order some too. I am on day 3 of VLCD, I lost 6lbs already.I don't feel hungry at all and sometimes didn't even feel like eating my melba toast. But I want to eat all the things that are "illegal" while on this diet. Brownies, juicy burgers :( And I'm only in the beggining, so I have to stay strong... I was hoping lifecaps would help with the cravings and maybe help after the HCG and in the maintanance phase. Thank you so much guys, you make it easier! mgsondance ou are awsome BTW!
deedee- regarding the sugar cravings, i'd make sure one of your daily fruits is an apple. they have helped me a LOT with decreasing my cravings- good luck!
btw, take your hamburger, wrap it in a lettuce leaf and put tomatoes on it. if you use your imagination, you can almost pretend it's a real burger! (if you're going with trudeau and don't mind mixing two veggies).
