453.1Tell us MORE!COOKIE::WILCOXDatabase Systems/WestFri May 12 1989 19:493
Well, shoot, don't just tell us you lost 30 pounds and not tell us
anything about those products!  What are they?

453.2WHAT IS IT??????? QUICK!!!!DZIGN::KELLYFri May 12 1989 20:174
    YA!!!!! HURRY!! HURRY!!! TELL US QUICK!!!! Seriously, I'd like to
    hear about the product......30 pounds is just about what I need
    to lose!!!  How long did it take you???? Tell me!! Tell me!!!

453.3PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONWIKKET::KORALTANFri May 12 1989 21:3018
    The product is basically a combination of Herb Food concentrates
    that aim at "balancing the body". I don't know if the body really
    gets into balance or not - but one of there products is a type of
    tea drink that gives you energy with out the nervousness that too
    much coffee can give you. By taking these concentrated food tables
    and drinking the tea I have felt better then I have in a long time.
    I started walking 3 miles a day and stopped drinking all forms of
    caffenated drinks. I also find that my craving for food has gone
    way done. They say that this is what the tables are supposed to
    do for you by "balancing your body" - because when your body is
    out of balance you crave food for energy - or a quick pick me up.
    I am very happy with the product mainly because I feel good on it.
    It wouldn't even matter if I lost weight or not, I would still use
    it. My wife who jogs, exercises and has no weight problem also loves
    the product. Don't know what else I can say except I only have 60
    more pounds to lose and I know that I'm going to make it. Does this
    answer most of your questions????

	Herbal-based weight loss foods can be very dangerous.
    
    	PLEASE, PLEASE, talk to someone in the medical field who
    can tell you if they contain anything that could harm you.
    
    	Most of the larger, well-known companies, like Herbalife,
    promote mixtures that are combinations of diuretics and laxatives,
    though they may only tell you that it will "reduce water gain".
    These kinds of diets are dangerous by nature.

    	Remember that many herbs have been the natural foundation 
    for drugs.  They are not to be taken without concern.

    This is not Herbal Life. I tried that and hated it! Also I have
    talked with my doctor and he stated that there was nothing harmful
    with the product.

453.10I used Sunrider tooLUDWIG::LAMYWed May 17 1989 07:2933
    I have used sundrider products in the past. reply .3 describes it
    pretty accurately. The products are all natural and they work at
    getting your body "healed" from all the abuse we have given it over
    the years. The products help to adjust your metabolism to its proper
    rate. 
    
    My experience with Sunrider was about 4 years ago. I did the quick
    loss program which I don't think is still available in its origianl
    form. I lost 20 pounds in two weeks but ate nothing at all except
    the sunrider drink,tea, and whole food snack.(I was  working
    construction at the time and it was summer so i did sweat and work
    hard which i feel helped me lose). The tea is a chinese herbal tea.
    the drink was a powder substance that they called "nutrien concentrate"
    This nutrien concentrate was mixed with water for the first three
    days of the two weeks and then i could mix it with whatever I wanted.
    I drank this three times daily. The whole food snacks consisted
    of dehydrated mushrooms,carrots and pineapples. The nutrien concentrate
    and the snacks have been changed since i tried them. 
    
    Sunrider worked for me. But it took a lot of will power. I ate nothing
    except these drinks and snacks for two weeks while working in the
    hot summer days. I believe my total calories for each day was under
    500. I didn't get hungry at all altough at times I did get dizzy.
    
    If anyone is interested in finding out more about these products
    feel free to ask. I will check with my distributor and see if she
    will allow her name and number to be posted here. She lives in Concord,
    New Hampshire and she is very knowledgable about the enire sunrider
    line. She uses the products herself and can even help you set up
    as a distributor.
    
    I'll get back to you all as soon as I speak with her....Alan

453.11write me for infoLUDWIG::LAMYThu May 18 1989 04:338
    
    Anyone interested in getting information/products in the
    marlboro/hudson area can contact me via mail and I will 
    point you in the right direction. I have not recieved permission
    from my distributor to post her name and number here so until
    I do you can just contact me. She is in New Hampshire so those of
    you up north hang in there... 

453.12I know a distributor in Marlboro.STP::PHILPWed May 24 1989 17:564
    I have a friend who is a sunrider distributor and he lives in Marlboro. 
    If anyone wants me to give you his name and number, contact me on
    vaxmail.  He raves about the stuff.
