Diet Pills

[Jewelz]

Has anyone here used diet pills and had good weight loss results fast?

If so, can you tell me what they were, how much weight you lost on them and how long it took?

Thanks

Yep, but you can't get them in the US anymore...

ARGH

ECA (ephedra, caffeine & aspirin) Stack with a side of St. John's Wort.

There also used to be one called "Low Carbers Miracle" or something like that - WONDERFUL stuff. ECA stack, also with forskolin.

There may be sources for ephedra somewhere, but I haven't looked for it lately.

I've always had good luck with Phentermine. I was one of those Fen-Phen people who was really bummed when the discontinued the combination.

After my 3rd child, I lost about 25 lbs

Now after my 7th (She's 2), I've started up with the Phentermine again and have already lost 10 lbs. 10 more to go & I'll be happy. It is also more effective if you are doing some cardio - I do 20-30 min on the elliptical or treadmill 2-3x a week.

The upside is it takes away your appetite & speeds up your metabolism. The downside is that you forget to eat, sometimes have dry mouth, and for the first few days it can be hard to fall asleep. Nothing I can't live with for a few months.

Best of luck. Loosing weight for me has always been a battle, especially now that I'm getting older.

Um... thought that they took that off the market.

Apparently not Phentermine. Looks like you can buy it off the 'net. Looks scary, though.

I took Hydroxycut for about 6-8 months while finishing initial weight loss/fitness program. It was at the time that they had ephedra in them. Not sure what ingredient caused it, but I believe this stuff seriously screwed up my insides. I have had symptoms similar to irritable bowel since then. They were worst when on the pills.

Do you know what the dosages are for the ECA stack. Im thinking of giving it a go. But im going to buy them seperately. Ive had a good look on the internet but a lot of people have a difference of opinion when it comes to the dosages for each item. My ephedrine has arrived today so its just the C & A i need to get. Also ive read up on a lot of sites about cycling the stack do you have any recommendations for this also?

Thank you for your time

Since my post above a have come across this:

www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Tip2.jsp

Is this something you'd recommend?

Jewlz,

I'm no expert on the proportions, so I can't help you with the exact dosages. Try scanning the "Elite Fitness" board for proportions. The information there from some of the experts is fantastic.

As for the link, I would NEVER recommend taking a stack three times a day. Once a day the first week, then twice (early morning and early afternoon), but I think the risk is too high for three times a day. I would run two weeks on, one week off. The proportion on the webpage looks good, though.

And personally, I always add St. Johns Wort to stacks to keep my mood level.

I'm not sure what it is, but there is an ingredient in some of the non-ephedra based diet pills that makes me very pissy, so I miss being able to purchase stacks.

I think the current replacement for ephedra in the US is synepherine right now.

If you're in the US, you can get them from anabolicfitness.com
