Meh. The media and FDA wrongly banned ephedra based on the death of stupid athletes who had no idea how to use the supplement correctly.**Danger Will Robinson Danger **
I might suggest that if a supplement can be incorrectly taken....It may be considered dangerous.
Kinda like electrical panel in your house is dangerous all the time......

Here's what you do, tape heating pads to your body.. Tape all of their cords together and connect to a surge protecting power strip. Plug yourself in!
Also, do this in the middle of summer.
Works wonders for me

That's like saying
"The FDA wrongly banned cigarettes based on the death of stupid people who didn't know how to use the carcinogens correctly"

No. It would be more like the FDA banning aspirin (which statistically causes MANY more health problems than Ephedrine ever did). In fact, it is still legal and readily available without a prescription as an asthma medication, right? (It just can't be marketed as a fat-loss supplement because people are stupid).
Besides, the ban had more to do with keeping it out of the hands of meth cooks.0 -
I can more than show enough proof from peer reviewed studies that shows that ephedra when taken in the right dosage is not any more dangerous than acetaminophen.

You do realize that the FDA had to lift the ban because there was no scientific evidence to support the claim of it being dangerous?0 -
I have started taking Andrew Lessman's Energy and Fat Metabolism Factors. Not necessarily for weight loss but for an energy boost. So far I like them. I have basically stopped drinking coffee. I just seem to have a natural boost of energy that lasts all day, without jitters.0

I work in mass tort pharmaceutical litigation don't even get me started on what they pass and ban.

Ephedra (herbal form) is still banned. Ephedrine (pharmaceutical grade) is not.
The herbal form can contain several other alkaloids which may cause issues, and is impossible to judge purity. Ephedrine HCL (or sulfate) has no such issues. I'm pretty sure this is what you're referring to.0 -
PLEASE don't take any weight loss supplements. They are either a waste of time and money or can mess you up. There is a reason why EC is now illegal. Ive asked my doctor and he said whey protein is okay though.0

I've been using Capsiplex to give me energy to exercise for longer as have problems with energy due to my disability. Previously I struggled to manage 30 mins, I can do 2 hours after a Capsiplex and its meant to help you burn more. I also do my session first thing in morning around 5.30am (take the capsiplex at 5am) and do it on empty stomach so body has to use fat stores for the 2 hours session.
I've dropped more quicker since using them after initially taking 4 months just to drop the first 9lbs without it, I've dropped another 8 in a month, (maybe more by weigh-in as I've had monthlies this week too so gone back up 5 lb temporarily).
You can take it daily and use without exercise and its still meant to help you burn more, but I didn't relaise this and had been only taking it on the days I was doing exercise cos it says 'take 30-60mins before exercise' on the bottle! .. so had only been using it 2-3 times a week.
It's contains capsicum or something which is found naturally in Chilli's and is meant to help boost your metabolism. If you have a sensitive tummy or can't stand having your mouth burnt out form eating hot chilli's these are better as they are coated.. so you don't get that!! ... and they don' t have any kind of dangerous drug in them.. they're working for me so I'm sticking with them... I wouldn't be able to manage 2 hour sessions 2-3 times a week otherwise.0 -

Those athletes died because they were training in 100+ weather, not staying hydrated and taking supplements. A teenage girl died because she OD'ed on too much starbucks coffee, why hasn't starbucks coffee been banned also?0 -

I stand corrected. Yes, Ephedrine is still available while Ephedra is still banned.Ephedra (herbal form) is still banned. Ephedrine (pharmaceutical grade) is not.

EC isn't illegal. If the dosages are correct, it's effective and does increases fat burning. But IMO it shouldn't be used except for the last few stuck pounds.PLEASE don't take any weight loss supplements. They are either a waste of time and money or can mess you up.

And by little he means that the act of pulling the money out of your wallet to buy the stuff has a greater effect on your fat loss than the CLA itself.0 -

Only if you're already very lean. And YHCL can have some nasty side-effects.0 -
thanks for your input guys! so i'm hearing a lot of bad things about EC so i don't think i'll try it. lol i'll probably just try supplements that contain caffeine, like 5 hour energy shots or green tea supplements. and someone mentioned HCI...i've been wanting to try it but it's so expensive! lol good to know it works though! i think i'll give it a try. also, which green tea supplement is the most effective? and does anyone know anything about l-carnitine??0

Apple Cidar Vinegar the organic with the mother. You can also buy the suppliments. Don't eat processed anything (white sugar, white flour, white rice), Drink lots of water. Green tea is very good try adding Stevia insteat of Sugar. Stevia has no calories and its not over processed. Use sea salt when you cook. Regular salt is cooked to an extremely high heat and becomes toxic. Avoid Margarine altogether it's not good for you. Try Brumels and Brown Yogart Butter it tastes good. I use real butter but only about 1-2 pats a day. I use L-Carnitine and this provides evergy I have not noticed if it has helped with my weightloss. Milk is not good for you, try almond milk. They have it in origional and vanilla as well as sugar free vanilla. I like the sugar free on my cereal with a banana. You might want to stop thinking in terms of this is a lunch food and this is a dinner food. Some foods that we mix at certain times a day actually decrease our metabolism. I learned another trick I'm not sure you are aware of. When you get up in the morning grab a piece of fruit. Don't eat or drink anything for about 1 hour except for water. Than have your breakfast. This helps with breaking down foods0

Thanks for the replys!0

Honestly I would say none. I've tried pretty much everything out there and nothing works except eating less and doing more. I know it's rubbish to hear, I too am waiting for magic cholocate that boosts my metabolism and helps me shed those extra pounds.... maybe one day... Sadly in the interim because weight loss is such an important factor in so many peoples lives, there are too many people out there who want to cash in on our desperation.
Keep to your diet plan and you'll do great!0 -
Alli is good 0
-
Green tea, dark cocoa (no sugar though), brown seaweed and black licorice (again real stuff not sugar and artifical crap) are natural fat burners. Tumeric powder is too so lots of curry :-)0

EC (Formerly ECA) yummy those were the days.
Dangerous yes, effective, yes.
A friend of mine took 8 pills back in the day and found herself passed out on the floor for an hour.
I wouldn't recommend overdosing, if dosing at all.
I take oxyelite pro right now. I'm thinking my ephedra days are gone now that I'm not young and stupid, but if I did it again I wouldn't stack it with caffeine anymore.0 -
I'm sorry..I just had to giggle a little. Ephedra/Caffeine...whey protein...PLEASE don't take any weight loss supplements. They are either a waste of time and money or can mess you up. There is a reason why EC is now illegal. Ive asked my doctor and he said whey protein is okay though.0 -
Caffeine

Ok guys...first i would like to clarify that i am not looking for a "quick fix" nor am i just being lazy...i just want something that works alongside my controlled diet and exercise to boost results. Anyone have any recommendations?
All right...I'll be the one to say it....
You're 5'5" and 100 lbs, which puts you right on the cusp of severely underweight. And you're apparently trying to lose 5 more lbs. You don't need a fat burner, you need food.0 -
I have seen a lot of people see great results with New Roots - Slimmer System (http://www.newrootsherbal.com/uploads/downloads/pdf/english/SlimmerSystem.pdf). It has a great combination of vitamins and thermogenics.0
