it's really weird but, i took some regular andro by twin lab (i think) while i had mono. i had mono so bad that it killed more (in my throat) than it felt good to just drink a little bit of water. i was TERRIFIED of losing a ton of wait because i had worked damn hard to get where i was, so i decided to start popping those babies. i had mono for 6 weeks, i couldn't eat anything for two, and didn't exercise the WHOLE time, and i only lost 8 pounds. to put that into perspective, i had a cold 3 weeks ago and only ate twice a day for 3 days and i lost 6 pounds! whether it was because of the state of illness my bod was in or what, but i thought that they worked very well. would i do them again....no, i'd never even think about it, but it still makes me wonder how they helped me maintain my weight!
