Does 1 Db Overdrive Work?

Does the 1 Db Overdrive Fastpack work? I would have to say yes. After beginning on it for 20 days, I've lost on average around 1 pound every 3 days. Also if you don't like to and or don't have time to cook for yourself, this diet plan is good as you can focus on protein and diet drinks during the day where as other diets, it seems that you spend a lot of time fixing food.  As in working even more with what you are trying to eat less of.  Not with this diet.

How Much Db Overdrive Costs?

The 1 Db Overdrive along with the Thyro-Drive will normally cost around $85 with the normal discount programs for the first month. After that you're looking at around $120 or so a month.

When on the program, you may save on your normal food costs. As far as my experience so far, I've been completely happy with Slim Fast like shakes for breakfast and lunch along with some protein snack bars for snack.  Contrast that to a trip to McDonald's for breakfast and lunch and your looking at saving $5 a day.

You will also save on your 5 Hour Energy and other energy drinks as the Overdrive and Thyro-Drive keep you awake and focused all day.

Day 11 - Week 2

Woke up this morning well rested. Yesterday I did my version of the Db Overdrive program with 3 single pill doses instead of two, two pill doses. My appetite was pretty much in check as the day was spent drinking diet shakes (2), protein drinks (1), fiber bars (2). Then for dinner, some Fazoli's spaghetti with meat sauce, two bread sticks and a slice of cheesecake. I should not have done the cheesecake.

The cheesecake was the first time I really "broke the diet" during the week. Perhaps I was too hungry when dinner rolled around and I did not have strength enough not to grab a slice? Not sure. My last dose of Overdrive was a 2:20, and I ordered at 5:40. My last fiber bar was around 4. I would have thought that would have been enough. If anything, I may not have drank enough water yesterday. Plus I went on a 5 mile run while it was 93 degrees out which took a lot of sweat out of me. Still, I was not all that thirsty yesterday which is a bit odd for me. Will focus more on hydration today.

Day 1

Took only one tablet of Db Overdrive and one of the Thyro-drive to make sure I can tolerate them before moving to the suggested two tablets at a time.

Of course I can't rule out the placebo effect, but I do feel like I have more energy and focus. In fact sat down to do some work and the next thing I knew, 6 hours had gone by. If not for a clock, I would have estimated 2. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Eating right was not an issue today (so far).

Working out went very well also as I was in a good mood and felt like I wanted to work. Hope that feeling keeps up.

My 1 Db Overdirve Plan

Like anything, I'll start the routine as recommended and monitor the results and perceived short-term effects such as mood, focus and energy levels. I've kept pretty good track of my workouts for the last year for duration, distance and pace, so comparing will be the easy. And much of the same in the working side of life. Tracking mood and focus will be of course more subjective.

I hope to see what 8 weeks will do. I would really like to see 25 of weight loss in these 8 weeks.

The starting numbers are around 248 pounds with a 29.1% of that being fat.
5K Time - Around 30 minutes



The 1 Db Overdrive Program

Here's the 1 Db Overdrive program,

For 5 days in a row
Take two pills in the morning and two in the afternoon. Do the same with the Thyro-Drive.

Then take two days off

Repeat the above for 7 more weeks

Then take two weeks off.

So in other words, 8 weeks on and two weeks off of 5 days on with 2 days off.

Buying 1 Db Overdrive

After hearing several convincing radio ads for 1 Db Overdrive, I decided to give it a try. The cost for a little over a months supply (along with the Thyro-drive which seemed to be a good idea) was $87 after tax. That price included a 25% discount for mentioning the radio ad.

I picked up the bottles from the Supplement Superstore. I was expecting a GNC like experience which is typically just a shop, pick out something and buy it. At the Supplement Supper Store Store, it was a bit of a hard sell experience, but not at all overwhelming. In fact I left the store more motivated than before entering the store.

Tomorrow (Monday) will be day 1 of the program.
