| Under Construction Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 21 Rep Power: ![]() | im almost positive someone else has already asked this but i searched everywhere and couldnt find it. I was just wondering if it would be worth it to take ephedrine, the so called miracle fat loss supplement. I read up on it and it says it works good to maintain muscle mass. I was just wondering if it would work on getting rid of the extra fat along the abs? or is it not even worth it? Thanks Chris |

What people normally do (in my experience) is use ephidrine last in a weight loss cycle. Start over a period of time cleaning up your diet and gradually increasing your cardio. Once you are at the maximum cardio (say, 1 hour a day) and the minimum calories you require after a period of losing weight and you stop losing fat ephidrine is then an option. If you are not a competitive body builder and are in generally good shape 12 weeks of good diet and religious cardio should be sufficient to look good. If you are going to take it please find a good source. With it becoming illegal 18 months or so ago there are people throwing any old chemicals together and selling them. |

I used them daily (more than once daily too) for about 2 years then had to take a week off work so I could cold turkey off them, all I did was sleep that week. I was tired and hungry without them, I couldn't be bothered doing anything because every time I got tired previously I took an EPH/T5 to keep me going. When I stopped them I gained weight and believe my metabolism was slower than it should have been without them. I would not say don't use them but I would say it should be 2 on 1 off. www.extremenutrition.co.uk ______________________ www.extremenutrition.co.uk - 25% OFF FOR ALL MC MEMBERS, discount code MCD25. www.betterbodies.uk.com Seriously cheap sports nutrition!

| Under Construction Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 21 Rep Power: ![]() | Yeah thats what i was thinking, so i would be better off going natural and doing some HIIT, to burn off the fat and keep the muscle. I mean if that doesnt work eventually i could try it but i dont want to run the risk of having the side effects when i dont need it desperately, im just tryin to lose a little around the edges. HIIT sounds good to me. Thanks once again guys |

I saw the one that Nick and Madmonkey posted but unfortunately thats in the UK so i dont even think can order it overseas. So im trying to find a good safe brand just to use for a month or so. |
