Weight Loss Ephedra

The actual legality of ephedra based diet pills has gone back and forth causing consumers who want to buy ephedra diet pills to be to be very confused. Some sellers have been telling consumers that ephedra products were illegal and then pushed another product with claims that it would work just as well.

The reason for the confusion goes back to the year 2004 when the Food and Drug Administration declared ephedra used in diet products or for energy to be considered harmful and dangerous to the public and d 00004000 eclared them illegal to sell.

Early in 2005 a company by the name of Nutraceutical Corporation challenged the legality of the ban and a Utah judge ruled in favor of Nutraceutical Corporation. The legal challenge related to the fact that the FDA had not shown that products with 10 mg or less of ephedra alkaloids were dangerous. (Most ephedra products before the ephedra ban used 20-25 mg of ephedra alkaloids.)

During 2005 and 2006 some companies jumped back on the band wagon and started selling the popular weight loss products with 10 mg of ephedra. But many of the famous brands like Stacker, Xenadrine and Hydroxycut stopped making ephedra diet pills altogether. During this time period when new companies were jumping in to sell the popular diet herb, the FDA still considered these product illegal
In fact, the FDA used U.S. marshalls to raid several companies and siezed large quantities of diet products made with ephedra.

Then in August of 2006 a ruling by the 10th U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the FDA's ban on all ephedra products. The marketing of ephedra in the U.S. is considered illegal and subject to disciplinary action by the FDA. The ephedra ban was back in place.

But Wait! We are not quite done yet.

The same company, Nutraceutical Corporation, in October 2006 has issued another challenge and has filed a petition for rehearing in front of the entire 10th circuit of the US Court of Appeals saying the FDA's assessment of aunreasonable riska is too rigid and gives the agency license to declare any dietary ingredient adulterated.

As of right now ephedra weight loss pills are considered illegal by the U.S. government.

That might change although it seems unlikely due to the fact that Congress is rewriting the laws that govern the sale of herbs. The newly worded laws will make it easier for the FDA to take action and ban any substance they feel is harmful to the general public.

Millions of people used ephedra to help with weight loss for years while it was on the market. The reason so many people continued to use it over and over was because the herb helped them to lose weight.

If it had not show results it would have vanished from the market. But millions of people continued to search for it even while it was illegal and they are still searching for it today despite the ephedra ban.

  4. 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]

  5. 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...

  6. QUESTION:
    Anyone Ever taken Ephedra for weight loss?
    Does it really work or is it just another gimmick? My friend bought some online after a body building friend recommended it to her but I've just found out if it's taken in large enough doses it can be like taking E!

    • ANSWER:
      Ephedra is a general term that refers to several species of herbs that contain the chemical ephedrine, also referred to as ma huang. Ephedra is effective as a nasal decongestant and can be legally marketed for this purpose if the recommended dosage is not too high. Government agencies in the United States and Canada are attempting to protect consumers against misleading claims and dangerous reactions associated with these products; and many lawsuits involving ephedra or ephedrine have been filed by ephedra victims. Hundreds of ephedra products are marketed as "energy boosters" and/or "thermogenic" diet aids, even though no published clinical trials substantiate that they are safe or effective for these purposes. These products outnumber the conventional prescription and nonprescription ephedra products that are FDA-approved as decongestants .

      In February 2001, a jury awarded .3 million to an Alaskan woman who suffered a debilitating stroke after taking a weight-loss product containing ephedrine. The Superior Court jury in Anchorage ordered E'OLA International of St. George, Utah and its executives to pay Rosalie Talbert .3 million in compensatory damages and million in punitive damages because of "outrageous" behavior in the sales of its "AMP II Pro" drops The jury found E'OLA liable for (a) creating an unsafe product; (b) misrepresenting it as "all natural" when it contained synthetic ephedrine in addition to herbal ephedra; and (c) for being negligent in failing to change the product despite government warnings that it could cause serious illness, including stroke. This was the first such case to come to trial. Between 1994 and mid-1999, supplement companies settled nearly three dozen personal-injury and wrongful-death lawsuits involving ephedra or ephedrine. Many more suits are pending . As a result, the cost of insurance for companies marketing ephedra products has risen dramatically .

  7. QUESTION:
    What is your input on Ephedra for weight loss?

    ** do you need a prescription for meridia?

    • ANSWER:
      When you want to use Ephedra for weight loss is it because some Ephedra plants contains Alkaloids that contains Ephedrine.

      Ephedrine together with Caffeine and Aspirin have shown to have a significant impact on weight loss.
      Those types of Ephedra diet pills are called an ECA Stack.

      The problem today is there are a tons of Ephedra diet pills on the market today that does not have that alkaloid and the effects of those are more doubt full than Ephedra diet pills that derives from Sinica or Sida Cordifolia. You can still get those but you have to read the label carefully.

      Meridia is a prescription drug. Alternatively you can look for Sibutramina on the internet which is the active ingredient in Meridia and the name for Meridia in countries like Mexico.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. QUESTION:
    Any opinions on eac stack for weight loss ( ephedra,asprin,caffene)?

    • ANSWER:
      I consider it to be one of the top fat burners ever and it's weight loss, fat burning effects were backed up by scientific studies such as over 11 pounds lost over 6 months with the majority of weight lost as pure body fat (see source below).

      More commonly known as the ECA stack for Ephedra, Caffeine, Aspirin.

      Fat burners with ephedra and the main fat burning chemical ephedrine were made illegal in the US by the FDA. The fat burners on the market today that claim to have ephedra do not have the important chemical ephedrine in them. Avoid Ephedra Extract fat burners because it is mostly a scam.

  12. QUESTION:
    What are the effects of taking Ephedra pills for weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      Ephedra was removed from the market because of all the harmful side effects. (Heart palpitations, sweating, nausea, etc.)

      As for it being effective as a weight-loss drug, that was nonsense. I took it once and it made me so sick I never touched another ephedra.

  13. QUESTION:
    Anyone take ephedra for weight loss?
    All the propaganda out there says that the weight loss is short term. How has it worked for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I took Topamax and Phentromine from the Najarian (sp?) diet center. It worked and keeps working. Topamax is a safe drug developed for Migraine headaches. When they studied the results, the women and men said that they loved it...but it had hardly helped the headaches...they loved it because they lost so much weight! So, they marketed it as a weight loss pill. It is best used with Phentromine for some reason. Also, if you have any addictions they add Welbutrin to the mix. That cuts alcohol, drug, eating and smoking addictions, that sometimes related to weight issues.

      I don't know about ephedra.

  14. QUESTION:
    I'm going to start taking ephedra for weight loss how many mg are safe!? NO LECTURES!?

    • ANSWER:
      The FDA recommends no more than 24 mg in a day- that is 24 hours, and that you use it for no more than 7 days. No one can tell you with any kind of certainty what the exact safe limit or amounts are though, as there are not any studies to determine what that might be. You don't want the lecture, but one consideration you might make is that since it is sold as a nutritional supplement, and is herbal in origin, there are not any ways to determine exactly what the dosage of the ephedra you take will be. The company may state that a capsule contains a certain amount, but no regulation exists that says that it must. Herbal preparations often vary in dosage, because obviously the concentrations can vary from plant to plant. If you are truly determined to do this, then the safest would be to take one from a company you have a great deal of trust in, and then for no more than a week.

  15. QUESTION:
    STRONGEST weight loss pill? Ephedra? Ephedrine?
    I find a lot of pills online have Ephedrine in it. Isn't that supposed to be illegal?

    What is the strongest weight loss pill I can buy?

    • ANSWER:
      You will be much healthier, feel better (and look better) without the pills. Excercise and a low fat, diet high in vegetables and fruits will get you in the shape you desire.

  18. 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♥

  19. 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 :)

  21. 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.

      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

  24. 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!

  25. 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.

  26. QUESTION:
    I recently purchased weight loss pills that contain ephedra. Are they recommended?

    • ANSWER:
      I personally don't see anything wrong with ephedra, it had been used for thousands of years until some people abused it, dehydrated themselves and mixed it with high doses of caffiene and other stimulants. As long as you use it in moderation and keep hydrated, most people do fine. I wouldn't drive under the influence of it until I know how it effects you though, my college roommate got very nervous while using it.

  27. 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.

    whats the best ephedra product back on the market for weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
      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.

  30. QUESTION:
    Does Hoodia really work as a weight loss supplement? Is it as bad as ephedra?

    • ANSWER:
      hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...

      i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...

      just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...

      i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)

      the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)

      what you should cut down :
      oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...

      vegetables / meat to avoid :
      potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...

      fruits to avoid :
      mangoes , bananas , jackfruit

      now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)

      here they come :)

      fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...

      its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...

      my diet...
      breakfast:

      skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...

      and try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...

      for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...

      then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...

      eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...

      and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
      the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...

      drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
      if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...

      you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :) also check your weight everyday... its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres :)

  31. QUESTION:
    Ephedra, Caffiene, and Whey Protein: Good for weight loss?
    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.

  34. 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.

    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.

  39. QUESTION:
    Do all of the major weight loss pills have caffeine?
    I have read that the major weight loss supplements are mostly caffeine (Xenadrine, Stacker, Trim Spa, Ect.). This is why most pro athletes do not use them. Is this statement true? Are there any caffeine free supplements? Also, is it true that ephedra is a form of caffeine?

    • ANSWER:
      You're right -- ALL the major weight loss pills are either LOADED with caffeine or they contain ephedra, which can be lethal if taken by teenagers or persons suffering from high blood pressure or heart disease. That is EXACTLY why pro-athletes won't take them. Ephedra = ephedrine hydrochloride, but I have no idea if that's in the caffeine family. And no, I can't name any weight loss or fat burning supplement that doesn't contain caffeine or ephedra (or both). BOTTOM LINE: They don't work over the long term and can have nasty long-term effects. The high levels of caffeine and/or ephedra mess with your metabolism and actually cause your metabolism to run slower after you stop taking them. So you could take them for a few months, lose the weight you want to lose, but once you stop you'll have to exercise harder or eat a lot less just to maintain. Not good. You're better off going the natural way. Check out the website below for a plan to lose weight and keep it off without the use of fat burners, supplements, or pills.

    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?

  42. 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.

  44. 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.

      This following website gives you the tools you need to develop a healthy lifestyle and maintain it for a lifetime.

  45. 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.

  46. 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?

  47. QUESTION:
    Is the diet pill "select" a good choice for effective weight loss?
    I read it has an ECA stack but I'm not sure what that is. I'm hearing it has ephedra but I thought that was banned here in the United States.

    • ANSWER:
      Dallas -
      Alli is the only over the counter weight loss pill approved by the FDA.
      There are only three prescription weight loss medications approved.
      Do you think that if any of them REALLY worked we would have a now billion a year industry in "weight loss" supplements?
      The big three pharmaceuticals would dominate the market.
      Approved or otherwise, none of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program.
      ***So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money?***
      You are spending somewhere between and per day on a product that is not approved or guaranteed to do anything!
      The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin.
      Why not spend the money on a gym membership where you can get some actual value?
      Good Luck.

      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.
