S.A.N. Tight Log

[jeff177]

Well i usually dont post on forums, but i felt this could be useful for the many that want to start taking energy/weight loss pills. I came to the consensus that one of the more popular ones was S.A.N.'s Tight pills.

My Body
Weight: 230
Height: 6'1"

Today marks the first day i took them. Directions are 1 pill a day.

DAY 1 LOG
- Took it about 8 a.m. after eating an apple and oatmeal
- Felt it kicking in about 15-20 minutes later. I felt alittle light headed but could really feel the pill working.
- About an hour later i couldn't sit still and my hands were a little shaky, but i think this could be a first time effect. I ended up going to the track and running 4 miles. On normal days i can run from 1-2, later on in the day. This was in the morning!
- At lunch time my appetite was suppressed greatly. I forced myself to eat.
- Then again in the afternoon and dinner i still wasn't hungry but ate small meals.
- Pill started to wear off about 9-10pm. I didn't get any headaches or hard crashes from the caffeine. I was alittle tired from all the activity i had during the day.
*Note on weekends i dont lift

Side Effects: Felt light headed every now and then. When i was running my heart felt like it was beating faster than usual. I could tell i was getting dehydrated really quick so i kept drinking a ton of water through the day. Throughout the day i went to the restroom more often it seemed(#2).

Comments: So far i think its working great, but it can be bad for people who think anorexia is the way to lose weight. These pills will totally kill your appetite and give you no reason to eat.

Suggestions: - Keep a water bottle with you at all times, just drink to drink not because you are thirsty. Same follows with eating, plan out your small meals in advance. At that time force yourself to eat it. The last suggestion i would have is to take the first pill early in the day, it will affect everyone alittle differntly but you dont want to be up all night. It will be impossible to take a nap during the day on this stuff. Also for your first pill if you weigh under 200 pound it would be my suggestion to not take the whole thing. Pour about half out and see how it works on your body to be safe.

cool

what is your BF%

also how much less did you eat? i heard you want to eat about 2g per LB on thermo's and if you could barely eat all day it would be very hard to get all the protein in

[jeff177]

HUGE_I_AM, I calculated my BF- 24%. I might have done it wrong though, im gonna look into doing it other ways. For my meals i try and get some kind of protein in at least 3 times a day. Im thinking of getting a shake to make after my workouts so i dont lose muscle.

Day 2
-------
Took the pill about 10am and got called into work. I didnt get any exercise and it was killing me to be behind a desk. I didnt notice any side effects.

Day 3
-------
-Took the pill at like 9am.
-Lifted at 3pm.
At first i didnt notice a big increase in energy. It seemed almost normal, but as i got close to being finished it seemed i wasnt very tired. Im usually about to fall down.
-Cardio at 4:30.
I was sweating alot today and my heart rate was getting up really high. I think the pills worked well.
-Pill wore off at about 8/9. I became very hungry at this time and alittle tired.
(all in all, i think im starting to get used to eating smaller meals and the pills arnt making me so jumpy)

I also thought this might be of some help for people. Its my history of supplements ive tried.

Androstenedione
-----------------
Worst mistake ever. I was weighing about 170 and wanted to get huge. Instead of eating right and naturally getting bigger i got this testosterone gainer supplement. I gained about 30 pounds of muscle/fat and my strength went up by a ton. My workouts were so intense, i couldn't stop. I would lift for over an hour easy then go run 4-5 miles. It eventually made me sick. It also made me pissed off all the time. I started hearing rumors from people taking it that to stop its a good idea to take estrogen blockers. I quit right then but kept gaining weight because my metabolism seemed to be messed up. (none of this is scientific of course)
*Recommend only if you are willing to deal with the side effects and have the time to workout like you are on steroids (2 hours a day minimum or you will get fat)

Hydroxycut Ephedra Free
-----------------
Tried taking this to lose a few pounds after the andro but all it did was give me headaches. Stuff wore off so quick, you had to take like 9 pills a day to keep your metabolism going. Ran out after 3-4 weeks and lost 6 pounds. I think it was the extra mental motivation to not eat as much that made me lose the weight though, not the pills.
*Do not recommend

Zantrex 3
-----------------
Made the mistake of asking GNC what a good product would be for weight loss, they pointed to this. I felt like i was taking straight caffeine. About 30 minutes to an hour later i would be burping up what looked like dust. I could see the pill coming out of my mouth! I would have deep chest pains that felt like i was gonna have a heart attack and would have problems swallowing every now and then. My workouts were alittle more intense and i felt i was losing some weight but the side effects were just awful. At night time i would just crash and it would feel like was was up for 2 days straight. My appetite was suppressed and i lost about 3 pounds in 1 week. I stopped taking the pills after about 2 weeks to prevent any serious problems.
*Do not recommend

Jeff,
I am looking at the Tight supplement. So far I like what you have logged. I am looking to lose weight and energize my workouts and after reading the extra energy you had, that looks like something I may try. I'm female, 5'8" and currently weigh about 190lbs. (definitely overweight). Any suggestions? Should I give it a try? I don't have problems with caffeine....drank a Sobe No Fear (one of the cans that have 2 servings in it) and it didn't do much for me. I can usually drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day and still sleep great at night.

Great log. I'll check back on this one.

fitchic, im not 100% on what differences these pills would have on a female but i would recommend them to anyone trying to lose weight, from what ive seen in the last few days. What i would recommend you to do a few things first though. Before you order the pills plan out your schedule for a week. Plan out how you are going to clean eat, what you are going to eat, and how you are going to exercise. Then do it all for a week before you try the pills. Eating junk food and getting no exercise wont get really get you anywhere. You might still lose weight but when you're done it all jumps back on and then some. So develope a strategy, practice it, then get on the pills. Remember to drink alot of water, it helps speed up your metabolism, and eat 5 small meals. Basically dont take these pills unless your really dedicated to losing the weight THIS TIME AROUND, dont start your diet then say "im to busy ill do it next month". I hope this helps some.

Thanks Jeff. I already do that now. I have a set fitness routine and diet which has worked well for me over the past year. I have recently hit a plateau and was really looking for something that would give me some extra energy. I'm always on the go, but make time for my workout 1-2 times a day. I think I will go ahead and try the Tight. Thanks a bunch!

why?

i heard thermorexin and VPX redline are better (did a **** load of research on this) but do whatever

im going to get some thermorexin b/c it was recommending to me by bodybuilders who have taken a lot of thermos... they say these 2 are the best so i will do thermorexin then VPX redline when thermorex runs out to see which i like best

yea only the products listed i have tried. Ive heard alot of good things about thermorexin, but i dont like taking more than 1-2 caps a day. With tight you take 1 pill in the morning and just forget about it. Plus the fact that it should last you 2 months on 1 bottle.

hmmm, interesting... especially just did some more research and found t-rex is much more potent, and vpx is ~80mg less potent per pill (and more expensive per pill) whereas t-rex is much much cheaper than both per pill

[jeff177]

yea after 5 days of taking it my body seems to be adjusting to the pills. I still feel them working but they dont last as long it seems. I might try some of that T-Rex if i dont lose what i want to on this, but im running so much i dont see how i wont.
