QUESTION:
Has anyone used Superdrine or other ephedra weight loss pill?
I'm looking for a pill containing ephedra that is comparable to Xenadrine RFA-1. I've been reading about this generic product called Superdrine that claims to have the same ingredients as Xenadrine RFA-1.
Please let me know of any weight loss pills that perform as well as Xenderine w/ephedra. These worked for me a few years ago and I'm really hoping to get the same results now.
Also, I am very aware of the risks associated with taking ephedra, so I don't need any advice on that. I willing to take the risk for a short period of time.

This is the Superdrine site: http://www.thatswholesale.com/db69.html#ch440

Thanks in advance!
I want to reinforce the fact that I am VERY AWARE of the risks and why it was banned by the FDA. I just want to know which pills containing ephedra offer the best results.
Thanks to those who answer the question!
- ANSWER:
  not sure if this would help...
  haven't tried superdrine and only tried xenadrine after they made without ephedra. last thing i took was zantrex. was pretty happy with that - better than the xenadrine i took, but then, like i said, that was when it was ephedra free. may want to try zantrex if u aren't caffienne sensitive...
QUESTION:
ephedra weight loss?
i was just wandering how much weight some of you have lost in a month or 2's time useing ephedra pills, i weigh 282 pounds, but just a week ago i weighed 291 pounds, thats when i started takeing ephedra pills and i was wandering if it was because of them? also maybe you could give me some advice on how to speed up my weight loss. thanks a lot
thank you for your concern everyone, i will be carefull, so far its working well and i have no adverse side effects.
- ANSWER:
  Hey, as a physician who struggles with weight, and who has many overweight patients, I can relate to your situation.
  
  The key to weight loss is not so much dieting as it is making lifestyle changes. The best diet in the world wont work if you can't follow it. Eat a wide variety of healthy foods and watch your portions. Eating more slowly will also help you to eat less. Try putting your utensil down on the table between each bite. Only eat healthy snacks, and no late night snacking. On calorie for calorie basis, an apple is much more filling than a cookie or some potato chips. Also, make being active a part of your daily routine if at all possible. Engage your friends and family in your changes, any support you can get is helpful.
  
  If you try these things, the weight will come off. It may take a while, but remember, you didn't gain the weight overnight either.
  
  Ephedra is best avoided, because it can be hard on your heart, and as soon as you stop the ephedra, you will begin to gain weight again.

QUESTION:
Is there an effective weight loss supplement with Ephedra? What is it called and where can I get it?
I had really good luck with Xenadrine with Ephedra a couple years ago, and I was wondering if Lipodrene with Ephedra is any good. I thought Ephedra was illegal, did they change there minds?
- ANSWER:
  Ephedra is an alkaloid chemical compound traditionally obtained from the plant Ephedra sinica.[1] E. sinica, known in Chinese as ma huang , has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for 5,000 years for the treatment of asthma and hay fever, as well as for the common cold.[2] Several additional species belonging to the genus Ephedra have traditionally been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, and are a possible candidate for the Soma plant of Indo-Iranian religion.[3] Native Americans and Mormon pioneers drank a tea brewed from an Ephedra, called Mormon Tea.
  
  In recent years, the safety of ephedra-containing dietary supplements has been questioned by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the medical community as a result of a high rate of serious side effects and ephedra-related deaths. In response to accumulating evidence of adverse effects and deaths related to ephedra, the FDA banned the sale of ephedra-containing supplements on April 12, 2004.[9] A suit by an ephedra manufacturer was upheld by a Federal District Court judge in Utah on April 14, 2005. [10] The FDA appealed this ruling, and on August 17, 2006 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld the FDA's ban of ephedra.[11] However, the sale of ephedrine, which is regulated as a drug rather than as a supplement, remains legal. As of February 2007, the sale of ephedra-containing dietary supplements remains illegal in the United States. The FDA has stated that:
  
  ...No dosage of dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids is safe, and the sale of these products in the United States is illegal and subject to FDA enforcement action.[11]
QUESTION:
Ephedra-like weight loss med?
I lost weight using Ephedra before it was pulled off the market. It's the only thing that has helped me control my hunger. I've had a baby and have tried everything but nothing's working. Is there anything out there now that has the similar effect? (I know that it was unhealthy, but I didn't have any of the side effects. It was just the push that I needed.)
- ANSWER:
  for fast weight loss... you have to supplement on top eating well and excercise...
  
  make sure you take a good multivitamin
  and maybe consider a thermogenic fat burner pill
  also green tea and lots of water is good.
  but if its quick weight loss, then hoodia pills are the way to go, as featured on oprah and 60 minutes....
  
  i have tired many different types of hoodia including gordonii you can buy these online but some online stores are suspect so be extra careful. i have personally had better results with hoodia+green teas so i highly reccommend it.
  i think you should try out green-tea hoodia also
  you can save alot of money by using the free trial offers offered by most vendors like these below (i only have to pay shipping)...
  
  http://bytead.com/free-7days-hoodia/
  http://bytead.com/free-15days-hoodia/
  
  overall this will be a temporary way to get over a weightloss plateau... but it will work...
  take care
QUESTION:
weight loss ephedra??
I bought ephedra tables with guifaisen in them.i am trying to lose weight so i took 2 this morning,and will take 2 pills every 4 hours to curb eating.i had 1 oz of beef jerkey.. i will run later 3 miles.will i lose weight?
- ANSWER:
  I don't know but your lungs will be clear. The guaifenasen is an expectorant found in many cough syrups, it thins mucous secretions. I assume since you're getting that combination you're likely taking an asthma medicine to get the ephedra. Personally, I never had an issue with ephedra, but monitor yourself closely, you're taking an asthma med for weight loss, not it's intended purpose. there are better ways to lose the weight, but they require more hard work than just taking a pill. i've been where you are and have tried all this stuff, it only works while you take it then you're weight comes back and you can't stay on it forever. It's your call, but just be careful.
QUESTION:
Ephedra for Weight loss?
I know there are a lot of questions about it, but all I see for answers are lectures. Look, I know the side effects. I know healthy diet and exercise is best. I just want to know how much weight an individual can use when using this product. No lectures, please. I want an answer - not a speech.
- ANSWER:
  it helps... you can get it at the pharmacy in the form of bronchaid or primatine... you will have to show your id, bc they keep it behind the counter because people make meth out of it
  
  DO not try this if you are under 18...
  
  if you are only taking 1/2 pill two or three times a day it really will not hurt you.. that people who have died or became hospitalized were on other drugs as well and the interaction is probably what caused them to become ill or have heart failure, or it could have been their other drugs all by themselves...
  
  I would recommend taking a either a whole primatine or a half of bronchaid with 1 caffeine pill twice daily and it will help. Now realize I am not a doctor so don't hold me responsible.. haha, make sure you read all labels and warnings and do a little research and decide for yourself... the combo is called an ECA (a stands for aspirin, but you don't need it and I wouldn't use it)
  
  obviously diet and exercise are key regardles sof if you are using an ECA or not...
  
  You need to eat lean meats (chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef) , low gi fruits (apples, bananas, pineapple, oranges), green veggies (broccoli, celery, green lettuce, spinach), only whole wheat breads (look on the package and see if the first ingredient is whole wheat flour, if it is it should be good unless it has high fructose corn syrup like Mrs Bairds does). Jillian Michaels from biggest loser has a great quote, "before you eat your food ask yourself, does it have a momma or did it come from the ground? If not don't eat it." Eat 5 - 6 small meals a day, this will increase your metabolism and help you to not feel so hungry in between meals. It’s all about portion and calorie control regardless of what food you are eating, but remember cleaning up your diet and eating X amount of calories of lean good healthy foods instead of X amount of calories of candy bars (I know you are probably not eating 4 candy bars a day but its just an example) will help you lose it faster. The leaner you are eating the faster you will lose it, and you will get a toned healthy look instead of a skinny jiggly look. You also need to drink at least 8 glasses (8oz) of water a day. Sometimes hunger is mistaken for thirst so if you are hungry drink 8 oz of water and wait 30 minutes, if you are still hungry then eat a light healthy snack. Water also helps you feel fuller longer and helps flush out toxins that may prevent fat loss. Also allow your self a cheat day (but don’t go over board and eat everything in sight or like 5 cakes in that day). Allowing yourself a cheat day once a week will help cut out cravings… Think of it like a reward if you did well with your diet and exercise that week have a piece of pie… If not just stick with you healthy food. You can find recipes for decent tasting healthy foods on sights like bodyforlife.com and bodybuilding.com and also on recipe sights like allrecipes.com, foodfit.com, cookinglight.com and foodnetwork.com
  
  You need to do a good mix of both cardio and strength training, strength training is not going to make you look like Arnold, I promise (unless you are taking test). Toning and building muscle strength will help you lose fat quicker as you will be burning calories all day to feed your muscle tone instead of just while you doing cardio activity and it increases metabolism. Running, walking, rollerblading, swimming are good cardio work outs. You can also get some at home videos. I personally like Gilad's Kick boxing, ten minute solutions videos (ten minute solutions are good because they have 5 ten minute segments and you can do one or all five or three or what ever you want to do at the time and they have a variety, like dance, pilates, yoga, etc.), shape and woman's health videos. Get your self some 5 pound dumbbells or a gym member ship and do bicep curls, push ups, sit ups, squats, dead lifts, lunges, tricep over head extensions, chest presses, shoulder presses, etc. You can do most of this on your own if you just go and buy some free weights, but a gym membership is helpful as well. If you do end up getting a gym membership I would consult a personal trainer (most memberships come with a free session) they can show you what to do and come up with a meal plan for you... You can find the videos I mentioned on the web at collagevideo.com, or at ross (cheap cheap at ross) or walmart or any other place that sells dvds.
  
  Lastly, don't get discouraged, it takes time... you should be losing 2 pounds of fat a week safely, more is not typically safe. but you could gain weight especially if you are gaining muscle. So if you get on the scale and it says you've gain two pounds don't freak out... just look in the mirror and go by how your clothes look and feel on you. Hope this helps! email me if you have any other questions!
QUESTION:
What is stimerex-es with ephedra for weight loss?
Hi I found Stimerex-es with 25mg of ephedra extract on shoppharmacycounter.com web site and I am not sure if it's worth taking it. I need to lose some weight and I can't really find any real success stories. I guess my question is: Has anyone used stimerex es in the past and it helped or not?

http://www.shoppharmacycounter.com/pc-21-3-stimerex-es-with-ephedra-25mg-90-tablets-hi-tech-pharmaceuticals.aspx
I am not asking for anyone success story or other supplements. My question was specifically about Stimerex-ES with 25mg of ephedra. Please don't give me stupid answers!!!
- ANSWER:
  Hi !
  
  *This is my success story.*
  
  I have answered this question so many times that I now just copy and paste my story !
  If you want to loose fat, I suggest eating a well balanced diet.
  Grilled or baked lean meats, fruits, fiber, vegetables, water and un - salted nuts.
  Exercise 5 days of the week, alternating with cardio and strength training. Do not cross out anything from your " diet", save the 2 days that you do not work out for being able to eat junk foods. You will not over indulge, after 2 weeks of eating a well balanced diet, on the 2 off days you have, you will not want as much junk food.
QUESTION:
What do you know about Ephedra-P57 - weight loss hoodia pill?
I just read about this pill and it is guaranteed to work. It has hoodia and Advantra-Z in it. One bottle is .00 and cheaper if you buy more.

I was reading about curvelle and came across this article. I wonder if this pills works. The online info on this Ephedra-P57 seems to be legitimate.

What do you think and I would assume it is safe for people with diabetes type 2 to take.

If you have any info on this please let me know before I spend money on something that does not work. Thanks
- ANSWER:
  Just watch you calories and don't eat the crap that most Americans eat. Diet pills are a scam, unless you combine it with a reduced calorie diet, then you will lose weight. Cinnamon and chromium I think are great to take if you have type 2 diabetes. Check out those.

I have been going to the gym for 2 months and i am not going down in size like I want. I am staying in the same weight range. like I can't get out of the 190's. I am getting discouraged. I want to lose this weight by May 13th.
If I can lose a great amount of weight in like 2 weeks to a month, that will be a jumpstart for me. Then I will just continue to go to the gym as I have been doing.
I heard that pure Hoodia is great.
- ANSWER:

QUESTION:
Who has had weight loss using ephedra?
READ THIS BEFORE YOU ANSWER!!
Look, I know I know, ephedra kills, although I don't believe that I've read it a million times, I've done my own research and I know the negative side effects. So don't give me your self-righteous lecture about how I should just diet and exercise. You don't honestly care about me anyway so don't pretend.

I used to be on many pills that had a side effect of weight gain, my doctors never informed me of this and I took them. I gained an excessive amount of weight without changing my eating habits. Now I can't lose any of it, I have tried everything, weight watchers, excessive exercise, green tea pills, anorexia, being a vegetarian, and plain old dieting...nothing. I bought a bottle of pills with ephedra in it and started using it today. ALL I WANT is feedback from someone who has used it with positive results.
- ANSWER:
  EVERYONE who has used ephedra has lost weight, but appearantly you have not done enough research if you are still considering taking it. Being skinny is not worth death. And you have to diet and exercise. You say you have tried it but you have tried so many things appearantly so maybe you need to give it more time. Do some research on how to eat healthy and exercise properly. Is it going to happen overnight? Nope. Its going to take a while, depending on how overweight you are, meybe even up to a year but it is worth it. Even if you take ephedra, and lose weight, your weight loss would be rapid so you would actually look sick AND what happend when you stop taking them? You gain weight again! You cant take them forever you know. I mean I cannot control what you are going to do with your life but remember how important your health is. When you are old and very very sick and bedbound, you will regret this♥
QUESTION:
Can pseudoephedrine help with weight loss? As good as ephedra?
Last week I had a cold and was taking medicine constantly to control the symptoms, and was actually losing weight. A few days after I was off the medicine, I stopped losing weight. Was it the pseudoephedrine?

If anyone has experience taking pseudoephedrine to lose weight, let me know how it worked for you. (I also took Mucinex and a perscription cough medicine some of the days I was sick.)

I'm not interested in people telling me their opinions of the dangers, I realize one always needs to be cautious when using drugs for anything.
I have been eating healthy and controlling my portions for many months, so it's not that. If I had an even remotely normal metabolism I would be losing 10 lbs a month, but I only lose maybe 3 lbs a month on a good month.
Btw, I'm 32 and have had three babies, the youngest is 14 months.
- ANSWER:
  I see no one knows the primary ingredient to Crystal meth. Thats right Pseudoephedrine. Yes that chemical increases metabolism If you want to boost weight loss take a b vitamin complex
QUESTION:

QUESTION:
How well does a green tea extract work for weight loss?
I am looking for some assistance outside of my diet and exercise to loose weight. I picked up CVS Super Green Tea Extract Weight loss Aid. It has EGCG.

1 pill with each meal.
Each pill has 250mg green tea and 50mg Caffeine
It is labeled as a drug free, ephedra free, weight loss enhancer

Have you used this or another green tea supplement?
Did it work?
Did you get any negative side effects? What were they?
This item has no added sugars.
When it comes to beverages it depends on what green teas you buy. If you are refering to iced green tea in a bottle then it will be loaded with sugar just like iced black tea. You need to get the diet green tea if you are looking to buy it iced. When it comes to hot or iced it is best to brew it yourself.

This question is not about sugars or beverages I am asking about the supplement so please stick to that.
- ANSWER:
  doesn't work. green tea is only beneficial when it is freshly brewed, like at home in a teacup with hot water from a teabag. doesn't do anything specific for weight loss but it does help the chemistry of the body work better and if you eat right and all that the green tea will help you lose weight.
QUESTION:
Anyone used lipodrene (with ephedra), nuphedrine or the Physicians Weight Loss program to lose weight?
I'm 5'7", 160 lbs, trying to get down to 125-130 lbs.

If you are going to say "don't take pills", "no magic pill is recommended for long term weight loss" or "diet and exercise only", DONT BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME RESPONDING. I just want some honest, serious responses from people who have had experiences with any of these methods or know people who have. What were the results? Side effects? Time frame of weight loss?

I'm trying to lose weight for a June wedding!

Thanks

p.s. If you have experience with the Physician's Weight Loss program, do you have to go in to the center or can you do the program online? When I went for a consultation, the R.N. said I needed to pay 0 for my initial visit (after the consultation), then -20/week + cost of the supplement shakes, soups, bars, etc. which, I figured out, would come to almost 0 for 6 weeks - which would allow for a 30-35 lb weight loss.
p.s.s. If you did lose weight with any of these methods, how did you keep it off once you reached your weight loss goal? I'm guessing I'm not expected to stay on these programs forever! And specifically in Physicians, which is centered on a mostly protein diet, how would someone transition back to a normal diet with carbs?
- ANSWER:
  Just try hoodia. It's all natural and will work better for you and it's cheaper!!! I used desert burn hoodia and lost 33 pounds and have kept it off for over 3 years now. I had back surgery in 04 and put on some weight because I was laying on my back recovering for a while. My buddy mark is practically a personal trainer although not certified or anything, just that he;s really up on all the latest fitness and nutrition supplements and stuff. Anyhow, I asked him what to do and he told me he heard good things about hoodia. I did some research and found out the desert burn was one of the best. I got some and took it on the first day and literally forgot to eat. My appetite is very strong I might ad so when i forget to eat it's kind of a minor miracle. So I took it for a couple of months and my will power was very high and I dropped 33 pounds in just a couple of months and it didn't even seem like I was dieting. I was so psyched about feeling better and losing the weight that I started my own website dedicated to back health, diet tips and all around wellness. You asked, I'm telling you. try hoodia. It worked like a charm for me. If you want, cut and paste: online health desert burn hoodia :into your GOOGLE search and you can read all about it and just tons of good diet and nutrition advice Best of luck and take care my friend. You just need a little help. Hoodia will help.

Ephedra questions? canada?
i think i'm going to go to canada to buy some ephedra weight loss products since they're illegal in washington. any tips on where to go? and what to get?

BTW don't worry i actually do lift and run just want a bonus.
- ANSWER:
  not completely recommended but since you asked. if you go to most weight lifting stores like max muscle you can find ephedra in its original form (just ephedra nothing else in it). if you take that with a weight loss pill like hydroxycut or whatever you were planning on taking it does the same as if it was included in the weight loss drug itself. this does raise your heart rate and blood pressure so be very care full and don't over exert yourself. plenty of water more then you want to. be care full and take care

I'm taking 2-3 Whey Protein shakes a day, eating 3-4 meals (5-6 if you include the shakes), and taking an ephedra/caffiene pill twice daily. Also doing about an hour of walking on a high incline treadmill in the morning, and if I can, again in the evening with 30 minutes of slow heavy weights ( I should prolly start doing high rep light weight?)

The meals are good, and I've lossed about 40-50 pounds since December, 15 of which were lossed in the past two weeks alone ( I started my shakes/etc on June 1st (my serious date).

What can I do to speed up the weight loss? Granted, I'm at 300, my BMI is at 30 (we tape measured me yesterday).

And also, if I maintain this pace, you think I can get to 250, or 24 percent BMI by the end of August/Sept?
- ANSWER:
  Youre doing great. Accepted healthy loss is 2 lbs a week which youre doing. A great plan...know ephedra is great , but can wreak havoc on your system. Evidently Ur handling it well.
  I really dont think U should try to speed up the loss. Being in shape is a life-long commitment, as Im sure you've heard.
  There's a few other tricks U can try.
  
  Do drink a LOT of water. Keeps metabolism high.
  Drink 20oz on waking on an empty stomach-raises your metabolism 20-30% just to warm the water.
  Try HIIT training. Basoically its walk/sprint. I incld a link.
  Do vary your weight training program every few weeks, so you dont plateau. And a bodybuilder's diet & weight lifting routine might be just what youre looking for to get where you ant to be. Try a subscription to Muscl&Fitness or Flex for a year. In a year, they'll touch on all the important topics you need to know.

QUESTION:
Is Red Cutz Ephedra or Heat a better Ephedrine Alkaloids weight loss pill?
I noticed that the real ephedra from years ago had the active ingredient Ephedrine Alkaloids. Most of the ones I saw at http://www.thatswholesale.com have them.
Beware of the fake ephedra being sold elsewhere. It is a new scam. Fake ephedra does not have the active ingredient ephedrine alkaloids. I am considering RedCutz Ephedra as it has the real ephedrine alkaloids at 25mgs and is a pure ECA Stack without any of the other useless ingredients. Does anyone have any experiences with it?

QUESTION:
What is a good weight loss suppliment?
I am looking for a good weight loss suppliment that is a fat blocker, carb blocker, appetite suppressants, ephedra, caffeine and will enhance work outs. It doesnt have to have all these things. I just want to know if anyone has had any good experience with any.
- ANSWER:
  You won't want to hear this, but if that stuff actually worked, no one would have problems losing weight. Diet is the most important change you can make. Not "going" on a diet, but just changing what you eat. Ask any body builder, the most important thing for them, is what they eat. Same goes for anyone else. Eat right first, then start to exercise. Once you start seeing results, you will be hooked. Trust me, it happened to me.
QUESTION:
Is there a weight loss pill that works for someone who has always been over weight?
Any ideas for a weight loss product that works? I cannot take anything with Ephedra. Also, I take anti-depressants, so nothing that contradcits with that. No "diet and exercise" tips please. I already know all that. Really. Been there, done that.

QUESTION:
What is the best weight loss pill?
I just got a divorce and I need to lose about 20 pounds.

I got down to a size 3 once with Hydroxycut, but that was when they had the ephedra in it.

Is there anything like that old Hydroxycut?
- ANSWER:
  Please trust me when I say you don't need a weight loss pill to lose weight. Nobody does.
  
  Every weight loss pill company says to diet and exercise while taking their product. Why, because that is how you lose weight, through diet and exercise.
  
  That is how they get you. They make you believe that it is their product that caused the weight loss when in fact it was actually your hard work. What happens when you don't diet and exercise while taking their product and see no weight loss results.
  
  They say to you, "Well, we do recommend diet and exercise as well". It's a win win situation for them.
  
  Each pill has there own set of side effects and hidden dangers and all have the potential to cause harm (why do you think they had to remove ephedra from hydroxycut?). Why would you take the risk when you can lose weight by simply eating well and exercising?
  
  There is no magic secret to weight loss. It is all about hard work, commitment, goal setting and desire. If you want to lose weight you can and you will.

QUESTION:
Can anyone help with a weight loss question?
I lost almost 80 pounds taking ephedra after last child. But, it's since been pulled off the market. Walking, dieting and exercising aren't helping me at all. Is there anything else that I can take that is close to or the equivilant to ephedra?
- ANSWER:
  Try Muscletech's Hydroxycut Hardcore:
  http://www.hydroxycut.com/
  
  Don't expect results like ephedra but atleast with hydroxycut you'll know that you won't have severe health problems a couple years down the road. It'll cut your bodyfat down, you'll have a sh*tload of energy and to complement that, it's considered healthy. It hasn't been evaluated by the FDA (like most supplements) but so far from what I know, there haven't been any deaths or severe side effects reported.
  
  So stop by the GNC store and pick up a trial pack and if you like it (you probably will), use it, it'll work. Hydroxycut is as close as you can get to ephedra without the side effects.
  
  EDIT: To add, I think that proper diet and exercise are the best way to go. Pills won't give you real weight loss without exercise.
QUESTION:
Whats the best weight loss pill out there now?
Im asking this because I found out that because of my family history, obesity is hereditary in my family. So diet and exercise is NOT enough. There WAS this one product I used that worked which was XENADRINE WITH EPHEDRINE. But of course they banned the ephedrine so now it doesnt work anymore. Do you know where I can buy some with ephedra? Have any other recommendations?
- ANSWER:
  Alli weight loss pills would undoubtedly be my personal recommendation. Alli weight loss pills has definitely shown me good and improved results.
QUESTION:
Question about ephedra?
I just bought an ephedra based weight loss supplement and was wondering how much I should take? It says to take one pill (25mg) three times a day which seems excessive for just starting out. I have researched and read extensive reviews and opinions on the product and know the dangers but also understand the benefits of taking it without abusing it. Would taking 25mg a day be enough to stimulate weight loss? I don't want to take anymore than that as don't want to experience any of the serious side effects (I've read that people who suffered serious side effects took wayyy more than the recommended dosage)

QUESTION:
What are some effective weight-loss products?
That do not contain harmful things such as ephedra or any sort of stimulant? I'm about 5'7, 5'8 and weigh 159 (which is too much in my opinion) and I want to lose 20 lbs. I feel disgusting and want to get rid of it. I exercise often and I eat right but its not enough.
- ANSWER:
  Please trust me when I say you don't need a weight loss pill to lose weight. Nobody does. If they are so effective why then are there new one constantly coming out into the market.
  
  Pretty easy to answer that one, "they don't work".
  
  Each pill has there own set of side effects and hidden dangers and all have the potential to cause harm. Why would you take the risk when you can lose weight by simply eating well and exercising.
  
  There is no magic secret to weight loss. It is all about hard work, commitment, goal setting and desire. If you want to lose weight you can and you will.

QUESTION:
are there any herbal supplements that help with weight loss?
ive lost about 50 ponds in 6 months, and i would like to loose some more, but now it seems to be comming off very slowly, wheni say herbal supplements, i dont want ephedra or anything speedy that may make me jittery, are there harmless herbal supplements that help aid weight loss?
- ANSWER:
  Homeopathic Treatment :-
  PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
  The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
  Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
  To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
  Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
  Take care and God Bless !

QUESTION:
Weight Loss Pill?
I would like to know if anyone has found a weight loss pill to aid in my weight loss. I am on the Eating For Life Diet by Bill Phillips and also work out with my Trainer 3 times a week. I know there is no miracle cure to losing weight, but back when Ephedra was allowed it worked, although apparently harmed our bodies as well. I do not like taking pills that make me extremely jittery and I don't have money to waste trying them so I thought that it would be better to ask others who may know first hand.

  http://www.advancedtrim.com worked good for me

  Mexican Lily,
  No, ephedra products aren't gone anymore - the FDA lifted the ban!
  
  My wife tried a product called Herbalean with 10mg of Ma Huang epehdra (max allowed by the FDA) and hoodia, and she liked it so much she became a distributor.
  
  Herbalean is made by the same company the originally made MetaboLife 356, but their new formula won't give you the jitters. It has hoodia for appetite suppression as well as 77 other minerals and herbs.
  
  i've been taking it for a few weeks now and feel fantastic. I usually took me a big coffee to get me going, but i've trimmed back on that and make it the whole day on a single Herbalean.
  
  Anyway, check the links below for info on Herbalean and the recently lifted FDA ban on ephedra.

QUESTION:
Synephrine as an effective weight-loss drug?
Received some junk mail, very curious. Apparently it is supposed to be very similar to Ephedra, which the FDA removed because it was very un-safe and caused some deaths. Has anyone used Synephrine? Was it effective? I'm not planning on using it, just very curious. Thank you. Serious answers ONLY!
- ANSWER:
  Synephrine's part of my current weight loss stack, I take about 20mg with 9mg Yohimbine and 180mg caffeine and it works really well.
  
  Oh, just so we're clear Synephrine is a stimulant and should not be taken if you have a number of conditions (they're on whatever bottle your taking)
QUESTION:
What is wrong with Ephedra? Is it dangerous to use it? Has it been clinically proven? Why isit being Illegal
I just received an Email from an Internet Site. Claiming I should stock up on Ephedra products. I ordered a one time weight loss pill, but they keep urging me to Buy ASAP. What is wrong with Ephedra and If it's Illegal why are they selling it?
- ANSWER:
  Species of Ephedra have traditionally been used by indigenous people for a variety of medicinal purposes, and are a likely candidate for the Soma plant of Indo-Iranian religion. Also known as ma huang, it was used in traditional Chinese medicine up to 5,000 years ago[citation needed], probably for the treatment of asthma and hay fever. In the late 1900s, it was used as a stimulant and a dieting aid. Due to the risk of adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, Western medical professionals recommend against the consumption of any ephedra.[1]
  
  Chemistry
  
  The alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are the active constituents of the plant. Pseudoephedrine is used in over-the-counter decongestants. Ephedrine is used to treat low blood pressure, but alternatives with reduced cardiovascular risk have replaced it for treating asthma. It is also considered a performance-enhancing drug and is prohibited in most competitive sports. Some species in the Ephedra genus have zero alkaloid content and are therefore essentially inert, however the most commonly used species, Ephedra sinica, has a total alkaloid content of 1–3% by dry weight. Ephedrine constitutes 40–90% of the alkaloid content, with the remainder consisting of pseudoephedrine and the demethylated forms of each [2].
  [edit]
  
  Effects
  
  Ephedra is both a stimulant (similar to adrenaline) and a thermogenic. It stimulates the brain, increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels (increasing blood pressure), and expands bronchial tubes (making breathing easier). Its thermogenic properties cause an increase in metabolism, evidenced by an increase in body heat.
  
  Side effects of ephedra may include irritability, nervousness, dizziness, trembling, headache, vomiting and hyperthermia. Chemical dependence may also develop.
  
  Safety
  
  Just like other stimulants such as Ritalin[3], in high doses ephedra can cause heart attacks, stroke, and seizures[4]. Yet, because ephedra is unregulated and because its primary use is now for weight-loss, there is additional concern about safety due to dieters taking more than the recommended amount, hoping to lose weight faster.
  
  The FDA maintains that "[ephedra] is dangerous at any dose"[5]. But there are many people including experienced users of ephedra[6] who don't agree with the FDA. One popular website with a focus on ephedra questions the FDA's recommendation, asking, "If ephedra is as dangerous as the FDA claims it is, given that the Chinese have been using it for 5,000 years, shouldn't they have experienced enough adverse events to be wary of it? If the FDA is so forceful in its opinion that any amount of natural ephedra is harmful, why does it allow you to buy Big Pharma's synthetic versions of ephedra, 240mg pseudoephedrine[7] and 25mg ephedrine[8] without a prescription? Unless natural ephedra is more dangerous than its synthetic form, it's disingenuous to prohibit the sale of natural ephedra if the synthetic form can be sold without a prescription!"[9]
  
  Ephedra and pseudoephedrine are precusors to methamphetamine. After ephedra was restricted, sales of pseudoephedrine soared (which can be used instead of ephedra in the production of the drug methamphetamine). Sales of decongestants such as Sudafed now have restrictions and are monitored in the United States. However it should be stated that decongestants were popular for the making of methamphetamine prior to the restrictions placed on ephedra products.
  [edit]
  
  Regulatory history in the United States
  
  Beginning in the 1990s, concerns about the safety of Ephedra and Ephedra-based products began to be publicly raised in the United States. Concentrated mixtures were found in weight control products marketed as "dietary supplements". Sympathomimetic amines such as ephedrine raise heart rate and blood pressure and can be particularly hazardous to those with pre-existing cardiac problems. After receiving over 800 reports of "adverse events", the country's federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed regulations in 1997 for a warning label, and a limited dose of 8mg (no more than 24mg per day).[10]
  
  After various petitions for and against the regulations, (including complaints about the accuracy of dosage and lack of quality control in the dietary supplement industry [11]) the FDA hired the RAND Corporation to do a study in 2002, [12] and eventually linked 155 deaths to Ephedra, most of them caused by cardiac problems and strokes.[citation needed]
  
  In May 2003, the health food store General Nutrition Center announced that they would stop carrying ephedra-containing products as of June 2003. [9]
  
  The FDA must approve all drugs before they may be sold in the United States. It considers the risks and benefits of medications for specific medical conditions, may require a doctor's prescription, make labeling requirements, or ban the drug entirely. The burden of proof for safety is on the manufacturer. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 creates a class of substances known as dietary supplements, which are not subject to pre-approval, and for which the burden of proof is on the government if it wishes to restrict availability. As a traditional herb, Ephedra qualifies as a dietary supplement.
  
  On December 30, 2003, the FDA announced a ban (effective 12 April 2004) on the uncontrolled sale of dietary supplements containing Ephedra, citing "an unreasonable risk of illness or injury"[citation needed] from the use of the drug. The active ingredients ephedrine and pseudoephedrine remained available as an ingredient in some over the counter (OTC) medications that are clearly labeled in accordance with FDA regulations. Chemicals created in a laboratory do not qualify as dietary supplements, even if they are the same as those found in natural products.
  
  Many advocates maintained that Ephedra was safe in low doses typical of traditional herbal preparations, and that the adverse cardiovascular effects were associated with higher doses.
  
  The Nutraceutical Corporation of Park City, Utah, which had been selling a relatively low dose (10mg, compared to 40mg-100mg doses also on the market) sued the FDA. On 14 April 2005, Utah federal district judge Tena Campbell ruled in favor of the company.[13] The ruling stated that because of the 1994 law and Ephedra's status as a dietary supplement, the FDA did not have the statutory authority to require the manufacturer to prove that the product offered a benefit, and that it had failed to meet its burden of proof that the 10mg dose posed a sufficient risk. Nutraceutical said that it did not plan to re-introduce Ephedra, and that it had brought the suit merely to protect its other product lines from overzealous regulation by the FDA. The FDA said that it considered further research into the dose-dependent safety of Ephedra to be unethical, given the lack of benefit (other than for short-term weight loss [14]) and potential risk.[15] Critics renewed calls to reform the 1994 dietary supplement law.[16] [17]
  
  The state of California has reinstated Ephedra dietary supplements in January 2006, followed by New York and Illinois. These laws are not affected by the federal court decision. [18]
  
  On August 17th, 2006 a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit overruled a lower United States District Court decision by Judge Tena Campbell for the District of Utah. [19]
  
  On August 18th, 2006, Jonathan Emord, the attorney representing Nutraceutical Corporation announced "On or before September 29, 2006, Plaintiff Nutraceutical Corporation will file a petition for rehearing en banc by the entire 10th Circuit." [20]
  [edit]
  
  In professional sports
  
  In the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the Argentine footballer Diego Armando Maradona tested positive for ephedrine in a doping control for using one dietary supplement product containing the substance. The Japanese motorcycle racer Noriyuki Haga tested positive for it in 2000, being disqualified from two races and banned from two more as a result.
  
  The U.S. National Football League banned players from using ephedra as a dietary supplement in 2001 after the death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer. The substance is also banned by the National Basketball Association.[21]
  
  Baseball pitcher Steve Bechler of the Baltimore Orioles died in 2003 after taking the supplement that same year. [10] Later that year, his widow filed a 0 million wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturer.[22]
  
  NFL player Todd Sauerbrun of the Denver Broncos was suspended for the first month of the 2006 season after testing positive for the banned supplement ephedra.

QUESTION:
Is Herbal Natural Weight Loss really possible?
Ok so in the past i have taken fat burners with ephedra(dont judge me:-)) and to anyone that doesnt know much about it, it gives or can give you pretty sketchy side effects but DOES give insane results. So i am wanting to know from someone who obviously isnt trying to sell me something, is it possible to lose weight with herbal supplements. eg, what would you combine with hoodia for noticeable results without crazy side effects??
- ANSWER:
  all you have to do is eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, why are taking drugs/herbs to lose weight? You should ALWAYS see a naturopath before taking herbs, they are the same as drugs and can have side effects if used incorrectly.

QUESTION:
Is it possible for a US citizen to purchase ephedra in canada?
hey,

i am a US citizen who lives near the canadian border and i'm wondering if it's possible for me to travel to BC to purchase ephedra? also: what kind of dosage/product should i look for and where can it be purchased (drug store, specialty store, etc.)? also does ephedra need to be taken with caffeine to be effective for weight loss? thank you!
- ANSWER:
  You can still buy it in US just in smaller quantities. Regular sudafed, claritin d, all kinds of otc meds still contain it. The catch is, you can only buy so many milligrams per month due to DEA regulations. Try walgreens, walmart, s**t just about any place that sells meds. Just read the back of the box, it'll tell you. I'm hoping u are aware of the negatives but only people who take more than directed, those who have heart conditions or people who overstress their bodies have to worry about it. I've been taking it for years with no problems.
QUESTION:
Can you find products containing Ephedra at local stores instead of having to go online?
I know all the health risks involved so please do not answer to tell me I should not be taking ephedra or ephedra based products at all because I believe if not abused they are wonderful for energy and weight loss. I've had successful results with them and would just love to know where I could purchase any without ordering online.
- ANSWER:
  CVS sells it under a different name, Biotech Labs BronchEase and Vasopro are two different names.
  I think it's only available behind the pharmacy counter. And there is definitely a limit as to how much you can buy daily.

- ANSWER:
  try irvingia gabonesis tabs, its purely natural, the ish is that its slippery in the belly walls as **** hole walls. if you cant afford to be buying it regularly, email me [lionbuilder2000@yahoo.com]to send you from where i am 1kg is approx between 60% of what it is sold on the shelves where you are.

  if you go thru the links ull see thy say the side efx are farting and head aches and sleeplessness but A DEEPER MEANING TO THE SIDE EFFECTS OF IRVINGIA GABONESIS. THE BELOW IS WHAT MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SIDE EFX OF IRVINGAI GABONESIS, BUT I CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER..THEY SAY..."Irvingia gabonensis is all-natural and
  there have been no known serious side effects during clinically trials.
  There have
  been some indications of minor side effects such as flatulence,
  headaches and sleep problems."
  
  FLATULENCE: The reason for the flatulence is simply b'cos, it creates a channel for the ALREADY EXISTING GASES in your body BEFORE TAKING IT, to go out through the anus! Meaning, before you take it, the solid nature of the food and poop in your belly blocks gases from easily coming out through the anus; but once you take irvingia gabonesis, it's slippery nature makes it flow between the solid poops and the walls of your intestines [it flows by the sides of the walls of your intestines], therefore the gases flow with it!!!!!
  
  So, in essence, it detoxifies!!!!!!
  HEADACHES: When you take it in, it's slippery nature distributes it around your blood streams in about 2 minutes, therefore it enters your brain too; and because most of the oxygen that enters your body goes to your brain, it makes the flow... of blood and oxygen easier, therefore causing you to feel the heart's pumping on the walls of your brain THEREBY FLUSHING IT!
  
  This is a good thing because, to me, its a chance to FLUSH the brain up a bit! Remember that it is just a slight headache!!!!!
  
  SLEEP PROBLEMS: This is not a problem. What happens is that it charges up the body with energy thereby causing mental alertness, because it makes the blood vessels more efficient, because it frees up the channels therefore making the blood pump more........so when you take it just before going to bed, it creates more energy. It is actually the moreenergy that people feel, and say it makes them have sleep problems. If you channel the energy to sex or anyother thing like reading, its better......
  
  Maybe one day medical practitioners will start saying that it is good to take it before reading because it keeps people mentally alert!!!!!!!!
QUESTION:

I am looking for someone else who can share their safe weight loss supplement or recipe with me that will not have awful side effects... thanks!
- ANSWER:
  Dude, the faster you lose weight, the faster you'll gain it back later. Diet pills result in about an 8 pound weight loss at the most. If they were more effective, everyone would take them and nobody would be fat.
  Your body needs 1200 to 1600 cals per day just to perform normal bodily functions. If you are working out hard for 50 minutes a day, you need more than that. Right now, you are starving yourself and losing weight too fast. What's the rush? You can find a good food tracker and cal/nutrition info at mypyramid.gov. Do the my pyramid tracker.
  Find a method exercise that you enjoy and do it every day. Build muscle. Eat what you want when you are actually hungry and stop before you are stuffed full. Try to eat a balanced diet, but don't limit yourself with a bunch or rules and diets. Diets don't work and are unhealthy in the long run. Only do things that are healthy and that you can do forever, for the rest of your life, like cutting fast food forever. 95 percent of dieters gain it all back in one year and 99 percent do in two years. Dieting is associated with weight gain over a long period of time.
  
  If women like you learned to love their bodies, a billion dollar industry that cashes in on insecurities and making people feel like they are not good enough would collapse. Quite frankly, being a little fat isn't as unhealthy as being thin. Anybody who thinks diets or restricting food types is a good idea is uneducated about the human body. Short cuts do not work. Most of the weight you lose is water weight. For health, eat a balanced diet and exercise for the health and endorphins and forget about an ideal shape. The average age a girl starts dieting is 8. 1/3 women are on a diet at any given time. 4/5 US women are unsatisfied with their appearance. You are beautiful and your body has a set point weight that it wants to be. If you starve yourself, the body will fight back by lowering the metabolism to maintain it's ideal weight. Limit your tv viewing. 1/4 TV commercials send out a message about attractiveness in this brainwashed society that has been seeing images of beautiful skinny women and mocking chubby people. It's worse for women: look at the number of average or uglier guys on tv and in movies versus the number of women. 30 percent of women in a study rated their ideal shape and it turned out to be 20 percent underweight. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz meet the clinical requirements for anorexia, and so do 25% of playboy centerfolds. If the flippin mannequins became real women, they wouln't be able to menstruate. Women finally get some rights, but we limit ourselves like this and our bodies are reduced to objects we inspect and criticise. Men decide to only value women for their looks and a thin, attractive wife symbolizes social status for them. Girls call each other fat as the greatest insult they can muster. When did fat become worse than cruel, stupid, dishonest, lazy or cowardly. When did "chubby" start to mean the last four of those things?
  We are killing our daughters and wasting our lives trying to meet an ideal that blows. Unless you are considered obese, or have a BMI of over 25, don't worry about it. In the long run, who cares about ten vanity pounds? Love your body and your confidence will light up the room and give other women permission to love themselves too.
QUESTION:
Does Endurox work in helping loose weight and gain energy and endurance?
I'm looking to get in better shape and be able to run faster but I am on the Depo shot and it's making weight loss very, very difficult. Does anybody know if Endurox works, or what about Ephedra 5?

What works for you other than just exercise and diet?
- ANSWER:
  endurox is not made for weight loss. it is made for athletes who exercise hard very often and need to recover from the hard efforts so they can keep working hard the next day.
  I cant remember exactly how many calories it has, but it certainly has more than gatorade or any sports drink. it will not help you lose weight by itself, but if you're substituting a meal for that (which you shouldnt) then it will probably result in weight loss.
  
  what works other than exercise and diet?... not much else I would say.
  its thermodynamic law. energy doesnt disappear, if you eat it and dont burn it it will transform into fat, certainly not disapear, so its either one or the other! or both! hehe...
  sorry, dont fool yourself trying to believe in the magic pill.

QUESTION:
What is the best type of diet and exercise regimen to stick to while taking diet pills containing ephedra?
I'm not looking for a 600 calorie a day starvation diet, just what foods and kinds of exercise would maximize weight-loss results. (Please don't use this as a thread to argue about the dangers of ephedrine and diet pills. This is something that I understand.)
I'm really wanting some input from someone who has actually taken pills containing ephedra before and knows a bit more than the usual diet and exercise advice.
- ANSWER:
  If you're trying to lose weight, it's best to workout for longer periods of time at a low to medium intensity. Do cardio type exercises (jogging, elliptical, biking) for 60-90 minutes 5 days a week. Reduce the intensity as much as you need to in order to keep going for at least an hour. Then you can increase the intensity over time as your strength and endurance increase. Fat burning happens when your heart rate is around 50-65% of your max heart rate (220 minus your age).
  
  For diet, you should eat approximately the number of calories required for your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This will keep your metabolism fast and prevent going into starvation mode while still losing a large amount of calories each day. See this site to find out what your BMR is: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
