Legion Phoenix Fat Burner for Women and Men, 90 Capsules

I have had Phoenix for a long time. It has been used off an on as need for many months. So lets look at the first time shall we? My 'specs' : - Year 2015 - Male - 230lb - Height 5'11 - Diet 2000-2100 calories daily - I was taking the following supplements while using Phoenix: LEGION Triumph - Daily Multivitamin for Women and Men, Best Workout Multivitamin, All-In-One Bodybuilding Multivitamin with Minerals, Energy Multivitamin That Really Works - 30 Servings, 240 Capsules LEGION Whey+ - Best Whey Protein Powder for Weight Loss, All Natural Whey Protein Isolate, Lactose Free Whey Protein, Best Bodybuilding Whey Protein Powder Isolate - Dutch Chocolate, 30 Svgs, 1.91 lb Nordic Naturals - Ultimate Omega, Support for a Healthy Heart, 180 Soft Gels I go into great detail about this because I believe ALL vitamin supplements are -extremely- dependent on the person and their diet and exercise. The results I will write are for me and my situation. The Review Phoenix Consumption Trial 1: Product was taken with Breakfast and Lunch. I took this product weighing 230lb during 3x a week resistance training at the gym. During my workouts I forgot my original goal was weight loss and was consuming WAY more food than my fat butt needed. I kept doing it though because the gains in my lift were huge and I sorta just forgot about my weight. Anyway, I started taking Phoenix due to the quality I have come to expect from LEGION and with the intention of losing some pounds. Plus I kinda just wanted to test his product. Without changing my diet and eating 2000-2100 calories daily I started losing weight at about .25lbs the first week and it eventually snowballed into about about .5lbs a week from there out. After about 3 weeks I realized the product was clearly working and lowered my calories down to about 1700-1800 and began losing 2lb a week. This was to be expected though as I discovered that at about 2000-2100 calories my weight just idled, so I had plenty of fat to burn at 1700-1800 calories. I road that fat loss train all the way down to 190lbs with a consistent 2lb a week loss. At the end of this I was at about 1600 calories daily as I had to stop going to the gym due to not respecting the weights (oops). This ends Trial 1: Phoenix Consumption Trial 2: Product was taken with Breakfast and Lunch. Well Christmas came and Birthdays arrived and I was still out of the gym due to injury. I had boosted my weight back up to 210lbs and configured my diet to 1600 calories and started with just eating better. At the time I was not taking Phoenix. Due to not going to the gym in such a long time my metabolism must have crapped out as I was not losing or gaining weight. Hey I have an idea......Phoenix :) . So I tested it again while doing 1600 calories daily. Surely enough something kicked in and I began to see weight loss again. Well played Mike. After a few weeks I began regular exercise to boost things up again and am now at 198lbs. The Result: Short story. It works if you know what your doing. This is a natural supplement, not a solve your cake eating problems pill. I cant see how this wont cause weight loss if you already track calories and just need a small edge. If you just blindly eat clean or healthy or poorly or whatever you want, there is no possible way you can prove this is doing anything. You need to either accept that it is, or do math like I did. Or just accept my math, whatever floats your boat. Side Effects: The product claims it does 3 things. Lets review how it affected me: 1) Weight loss. a) Obviously, just read the saga I wrote above. 2) More Energy a) Honestly....I cant speak for this. I was already taking great supplements and eating very very good. I felt like I could crush the world, so if I got even MORE energy from Phoenix, I have no way to actually track that. I surely didn't feel less energetic. 3)Fewer Cravings a) Yes. This is true and I noticed this without realizing it at first. I bought this with weight loss in mind and never considered the 'Fewer Cravings' part because I never cared about that. During the trials of Phoenix there were many times I would have to eat a small breakfast and a few hours afterwards I was confused as to why I just didn't really feel that hungry. I was always hungry after a s***ty breakfast like a granola bar. Well, every time it was during Phoenix. Please be aware that the "Fewer Cravings" in Phoenix is the 5-HTP and the effectiveness is only there WHEN TAKEN WITH FOOD. As well as the product increasing the thermic effect of food (Synephrine). ONLY take Phoenix with your meals and try to use the biggest meals of the day or you will lose effectiveness guaranteed. The science is there, but its up to you to follow it accurately. Just take it as the bottle says. All in all this is a very well made product that gives you a slight edge in weight loss. Its by no means needed in the slightest way as you can easily combat weight loss by proper dieting. However if you want to give yourself every edge then Phoenix can and will help you. If anyone has any questions let me know and ill be happy to answer. I hope this helps some of you out there. The insane TL:DR: The product works if the following applies to you: 1) You understand its giving a slight edge on your already proper diet / Exercise. (This isn't a free pass to Burger King) 2) You understand how the product works so you dont take the supplement improperly. ( Taking them with your biggest meals and not taking all 4 pills before bed because you 'forgot'. Your fault) 3) You recognize this supplement was designed with your health in mind first and weight loss second. ( A healthy way to lose weight without destroying your body in the process )

I've been using Legion products for well over a year now, having started with Phoenix as part of a cut. Fat burners I've used in the past include OxyElite Pro (before the ban), HydroxyCut, and BSN's thermogenic (I do not recall the name). There is no question that my best results have come while using Phoenix. I will hedge that statement by also mentioning that my diet has been at its best while using Phoenix and I'm more experienced with weight training than I was when I used the other products I mentioned. Even so, when I was at 20% plus body fat, adhering to a clean, calculated diet, and sticking to an (relatively) intense 5-day training regimen while using OxyElite Pro (which I consider to be the second most effective fat burner I've used), the rate of fat loss I experienced then ("easy" fat I call it - those of you who have made a big cut know how much quicker the trip from 20% to 15% can be than 15% to 10%) was not nearly as impressive as when I used Phoenix (15.3% down to 9.5%). Pros of Phoenix 1. No jitters - I have high caffeine tolerance and I suspect some amount of jitters I experienced using the other products were related to non-caffeine ingredients. Can't prove it, but that's my intuition - I know my body pretty well. I love that I can still drink coffee in the morning. Lastly, and most importantly, Phoenix not having caffeine makes me feel a little better about using Legion Pulse, the pre-workout formula (which I recommend as well) which includes caffeine. 2. Easy to swallow pills - Aside from vitamin D, these are the smallest pills in my supplement stack, which includes a multi-vitamin (Orange Triad), fish oil, and green tea extract upon waking. 3. Effective when used correctly - if you take the correct dosage, maintain a caloric deficit (this is essential - you absolutely cannot lose weight unless you use more energy than you take in), and engage in a vigorous strength training/cardio regimen, you will lose weight. Period. What surprised me most was that, on my trip from 15.3% to 9.5%, I didn't plateau at 10-11%, which has happened in the past (to me and others I know) without significant diet changes (e.g. low-carb, intermittent fasting/fasted training). Cons 1. As with any product, it may not be right for you - I know many who desire caffeine in their fat burner and I can certainly vouch for its effects. For non-coffee drinkers and non-pre-workout users, this may rule Phoenix out for you. The product's effectiveness, Legion's outstanding customer service, and the transparency about the ingredients and simple (but effective) explanations backed by science make this a five-star product, in my opinion.

I'm just ending my 30 day trial of this product and I have to say that the product did not do anything positive, as was advertised, for me. It actually appears the advertised effects impacted me negatively. The product boasts three fat loss/burning effects: *More Energy, *More Fat Loss, and *Fewer Cravings I took this product every morning and afternoon with my meals. In the morning, typically taking with caffeinated tea as to maximize the effects by taking with caffeine. My breakfast either consisted of an egg + egg white muffin or/and orange juice mixed with one scoop of Maximum Vibrance(https://www.amazon.com/Vibrant-Health-Vibrance-Multi-Supplement-Futurefood/dp/B00SK661Q8?th=1). For lunch I typically meal prepped high fat, high protein and low carb options: including ground turkey, ground bison, chicken breast and some vegetables (typically asparagus or sweet potatoes). I am a 30-35 year old male, this is the first "fat burner" I've ever tried. 1/10/17: before taking this product I weighed 201.5 lbs and had been out of the gym for about two months. 1/24/17: I purchased a new gym membership and started taking this product, I weighed 204.5lbs 1/26/17: All of my stats except my weight are the same, same waist and chest size at 38in and 42in respectively MyFitnessPal Weight Stats: 1/1: 201.2lbs 1/12: 203.6lbs 1/20: 204.8lbs 1/31: 203lbs 2/09: 202.2lbs 2/15: 205lbs 2/26: 208.8lbs Strava Run Stats (*Not all activities logged): JAN 23 - JAN 29: 6.5mi JAN 30 - FEB 5: 8.1mi FEB 6 - FEB 12: 5.4mi FEB 13 - FEB 19: 6.9mi FEB 19 - FEB 26: 6mi (Admittedly I've been running less with more time spent in the gym, I assumed while taking a fat burner ) Pros: ** None Neutral: ** *Fewer Cravings: Perhaps provided slightly fewer cravings at times, although this product never once killed any desire to not snack or over indulge ever. Negatives: ** *More Fat Loss: Gained a total of 4.3 lbs ** *More Energy: While taking this product I felt increasingly more tired throughout the week and on the weekends even when I was able to sleep in. I would frequently needs naps after work (after working 6:30AM-3:30PM, I would get at minimum 7 hours of sleep at night, I typically run 2 miles after work every other day and walk with my dog immediately after work every day) I'm going to post a follow up to this post after another month off of this product to see how things have changed.

Bought this because I’m trying to switch from stimulant fat burners to something a little bit healthier for my body. It’s a cleaner version compared to what’s on the market. I was a bit disappointed to see on the label that it’s “ best taken with caffeine.” So he didn’t put it in the pill so it could be labeled ‘clean’ but works best with it. Anyways I’ve been taken it for a few weeks now and notice what a lot of others have the frequent trips to the bathroom are not fun- some days are better than others- but I did not realize that I wasn’t suppose to start out with the full dose. With how long I’ve been doing fat burners I should know this but logically didn’t think it’d apply to something more clean. So my goof- I’m backing off my dosage to make it work for me I like it overall. I do not crave sugar- it suppresses my appetite - gives me good energy but notice at night I’m tired!! Maybe from poooping all day. But physically I’m pretty exhausted by the end if my day. Not always but when it happens I’m DONE- It works it does what it says! I like this guy—he’s knows his stuff - been following him for a year THE BEST BODY I’ve ever had out 9 years of working out and 3 kids!! Highly recommend!!!

5/19/15 REVIEW UPDATE!!!! My first review of Legion P. fat burner is below, I figured why delete it, it puts things in to perspective. I competed in 2 bikini competitions since my first order of this product and couldn't be more pleased. I just received my second bottle today and I was mega excited to start again. This is definitely my to go competition prep fat burner and as a matter of fact my always and forever fat burner hahahaha. Yes, it's the best product out there and I've tried close to about a dozen simiar products, none like Legion. My progress pictures speak for themselves! Please keep in mind without a proper nutrition, the right supplements and enough sleep you can take whatever fat burner you want, the right results will never come. It is imperative diet, exercise and sleep go hand in hand with a quality fat burner such as Legion P. If any of you has questions you'd like answered I'd be more than happy to give feedback. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW!!!! "It's a bit early to leave a more in depth review and I will come back in a couple of weeks with updates. So far so good, today was my first day trying this product. I'm a few weeks out from a fitness competition and I would love to come in a bit tighter. I used another fat burner before this one and couldn't take the full dosage as recommended; also I couldn't have my daily coffee which is most important to me because I do intermittent fasting and I need my fuel in the am. I took Legion Phoenix this morning with a super concentrated green tea to which I added butter, heavy cream and MCT oil (I've been doing Keto for almost 1 year now) and I have to admit it gave me so much more energy, I was able to last through the day fasting. I had no jitters, I did not experience loss of energy and after eating my dinner I had enough energy to do a 15 min really intense HIIT session. Soooo, bottom line, I have to see over the course of next 2 weeks what progress I'll make on it, but so far tolerance wise I LOVE IT!!!"

I want to start off by saying that I am a supporter of Legion. The supplement industry is incredibly sketchy and cryptic, therefore it's refreshing to find a company that is transparent about their ingredients and usages. I have used Legion Pulse, and loved it. If you're out of pre-workout, and looking for a new one to try, go for that one. It is spectacular. HOWEVER, this particular supplement did not work for me. Now, there are tons of factors that could contribute to that fact. I am fairly strict with my diet, though not to the calorie, so it very possibly could be that the variability in my intake is too significant. The problem I had was the way my body responded to the supplement. As many have mentioned, this did a bit of a number on my digestive track. I also felt like my workouts suffered somewhat. And undoubtedly, this should absolutely be taken with food. I felt substantially nauseous the one occasion I took it without. And although I cannot attribute my lack of significant weight loss to the ineffectiveness of the supplement I can pretty confidently attribute the side effects to it. Now since that is largely a negative review, I want to address why I gave it three stars. Legion has been very responsive and invested in getting to know my experience. I replied to their email mentioning that the product did not work well for me, they were quick to respond and seek out resolutions. It is quite possible that my experience is relatively uncommon. I'd imagine many experience the side-effects, but their bodies are more responsive to it, and therefore the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Some of the details of nutrition, such as supplementation, are quite variable. So I don't have any intention of drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of a supplement on the overall population by my one experience. They received three stars because Legion has proven it is interested in the satisfaction and well being of it's customers. Read the reviews and be aware of how it might affect you. Perhaps it will work well for you. Probably a smaller chance you have my experience. If the latter is the case, you can be sure that Legion will do what they can to make sure you are happy. They generally will refund or replace if you are unsatisfied. That to me, marks a commitment to their consumers.

I heard a lot of good things about Legion Supplements on BodyBuilding websites and word of mouth, so I decided to look into their products. I was seeking a fat burner without a lot of caffiene or none at all seeing as I take a high caffiene preworkout supplement which is why I chose this over their other fatburner, as well as the fact the other fatburner says to take before fasted cardio and I can't do fasted workouts. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and when I started I was 108.5lbs, I'm trying to get rid of enough body fat to get a lower overall percentage to make my abs more pronounced. Being at this weight makes it extremely difficult to lose any weight while maintaining muscle since your maintenance calories are already low and you can't do a lot of a deficit in intake, and my gym sessions are long and frequent already. Nothing I would do would make anymore weight budge and I'm a very clean eater and in the gym 5 or 6 days a week, I'm 106lbs now and have been maintaining that which I am very happy about because my weight fluctuates so easy and it has been staying steady. Maybe I'll lose even a couple more pounds. My calorie intake or gym routine has not changed at all so I contribute my weight loss to this supplement most likely. It does an EXCELLENT job at appetite suppressing, even if you have small meals. Way longer than any other I have tried and I've tried quite a variety of products for that. I also love that they are straight forward with their ingredients so you know EXACTLY what is in it, not just a "proprietary blend". I take Legion with my breakfast and lunch but you could take it with dinner instead. I will definitely make this my go to product if I want a fat burner and will recommend this to friends. It may be pricey, but it's pricey because it works. I've had absolutely no adverse affects as I have with other fat burners. Even caffiene free ones.

I lost 5 lbs in one week after only taking this for 3-4 days. I didn't take at the full dose the first couple of days based on other reviews. I drank a lot of coffee with it. I got pretty bad headaches in the evening and was sleepier than normal in the afternoon. I tried taking it again and easing into the full dose later on. I lost 3 lbs in one week that time after only taking for 3-4 days. The last day I tried each dose with 200 mg caffeine pills and barely had an appetite all day. I also wasn't sleepy in the afternoon. However, that day I had the most intensely painful headache in my entire life. I felt hungover the next couple of days. Prescription ibprofen never put a dent in relieving pain from the headaches either. I threw away the remaining pills after that. I really wanted this product to work given the great weight loss results, but just couldn't bare the side effects. Based on reviews, not everyone experiences terrible side effects so I still recommend trying the product. It might not give you bad side effects.
