    I've used the ECA stack (Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin) multiple times when dieting down. That used to be the primary ingredients in all the major "fat-burners" on the market.

    I've also NOT used it multiple times when dieting...

    In all honesty, for ME using the stack mounts to a *slight* increase in energy and I tend to lose about an extra 1lb a week - mostly because the extra energy helps boost my workout - causing me to work out more then when NOT using it.

    Others I know that use it have mentioned benefits of reduced appetite in addition to the slight addition of energy.

    Using the ECA stack without proper diet or exercise is useless, imho. Even with it, it's got very limited benefits.

    Thank you for suggesting an ECA stack. <3

    The Aspirin is unnecessary which is why I cut the 'A' off of it when I suggested it earlier. It's really the only thing that elevates your metabolism a meaningful amount.
    Aspirin gives it no more thermogenic effect, nor does it do anything re: appetite suppression, however independent testing has shown it increases the duration of the thermogenic effect. As such using aspirin as part of the stack does improve it's overall benefit.

    My anti-depressants. Who knew depression was such a huge factor in weight gain and lack of motivation.

    Not a pill, but try babysitting once a week, the running around after children is great for weight loss.

    I have tried all sorts of diet pills in the past and let me tell you....They DO NOT work! So save your money.

    I have heard that drinking 3 cups of green tea a day is suppose to help. Thats if you can stand the taste of it which I cannot.

    I agree with the protein and watching what your eating. And of course....exercise. For me also my MFP friends have helped me with their support and of course my family. It's encouraging when you have the support of friends and family.

    Sugar pills. One a day, in addition to maintaining a caloric deficit and exercising will do wonders for healthy sustainable weight loss.

    Uh oh... Just wait for all the anti-diet pill responses, not saying I blame them but I know you are just looking for a general answer (and you understand exercise and healthy eating).

    Look into natural SUPPLEMENTS.. green tea extract w/ caffeine work nicely for some to suppress appetite and increase metabolism, Conjugated lineolic acid is nice to add if you have a lot of fat to lose (so let's say you are 40% body fat) - I've liked CLA cause it's worked for me before Dr. Oz mentioned it on TV.

    And if anyone says blah blah green tea (for example) is a waste of money.. go check out Bodybuilding.com where thousands use natural supplements and get great results. If you want to spend the money, go for it. If you don't, don't. Ignore those who will respond with ignorant posts e.g. It's a waste of money.

    yea but is it the supplements or the constant work with weights and attention to diet that gets great results..I will go with the later...just saying...oh and i still love dixie whiskey lol :)

    No pills. Proper nutrition, stay on top of your intake vs expenditure in calories, and get off your tail and do the work. Hydoxycut when it first came out was great because it contained ephedra, caffeine and asprin. Ephedra has since been banned by the FDA, though it is still available in some places and works amazingly. However a cup of coffee before your workout will help if you are looking for a fat burner or if you care to pay for pre-workouts anything with caffeine as a main ingredient.

    Coffee

    or cinnamon or cayenne pepper, too I suppose --- for the thermogenic effect.

    The weight loss pills that actually work are actually dangerous.

    Pff. What's a little cardiac arrhythmia among friends? Healthy hearts are overrated. :glasses:

    So is a body temperature under 102 F :laugh:

    hey we could all take bath salt and go on a face/brain eating spree...AKA high protein diet....

    They prevent water being absorbed through your gut and give you the runs. Any weight you lose is because of dehydration.

    By the way, why hasn't this thread been locked out yet?

    What I find amazing; there are threads where guys and girls lose a hundred pounds with real lifestyle change through proper diet and exercise and they get a handful of responses. Yet, a thread where someone asks for a magic pill gets a couple of hundred responses. Go figure.

    Caffeine, Aspirin, ephedrine stack works well to boost your metabolism. Of course is also shuts down basic adrenal function and causes severe withdrawal symptoms when you come off it.

    But it works.

    I was on phentermine. All it does is make you not hungry. Protein does the same thing. So, I stopped taking the pills, upped my protein, and have been doing diet & exercise with the same results. Phentermine didn't make me lose faster. It was the same as what I'm doing now. So, I saved myself $37 a month by just doing it the natural way.

    Same results, less money.

    Decreasing my caloric intake to 1600 calories, exercise, and increasing my protein to about 100-140g to stay full throughout the day.
