Ephedrine/Caffeine/Aspirin ECA Stack Weight loss thoughts
- Thread starter jlzbfrsh3
- Start date
I havnt heard of the supplement, but im sure if your trying to lose weight it would help a bit but nothing overly significant or worth getting excited about. Im sure the side effects would be a result of the decreased fat absorption, therefore slimey poo 
i guess this would be a good educator of how much fat your eating as you could see it come out.
Either way, weight training with cardio and a good diet is and always will be the best way.

ECA Stack does work, works well. It's the only fat burner that I would say does. There are a number of potential side effects, I would strongly recommend researching it quite thoroughly if you are considering taking it.
Ephedrine is legal here it is not legal in most states from what I understand there were a few high profile deaths related to ephedrine overdoses a few years ago and I had heard it was banned in USA.

Ephedra Products Ban is Back | Buy Ephedra While Supplies Last
The ephedra products ban was lifted for a time, but is back again. In the mean time, suppliers are being allowed to sell out their remaining stock. The 10 mg ephedra is the safe level and the most trusted place to buy is [link removed due to violation of the TOS]. Metabadrine with ephedra has been their top seller for more than five years. This company is also listed with the Better Business Bureau.

Hmmm, there are 3 first time posters on this thread, maybe a sales pitch is coming.
First off, Ephedrine has tight controls on it's use for a reason, for a start it's addictive, the last thing you need is an addiction to a drug that you won't even be able to obtain legally for much longer (not that any kind of addiction is good)
Secondly, Ephedrine is a strong stimulant, if you stack it with caffine you risk having a heart attack. Working out while taking this will only increase those risks

That's the only thing you really need to know about losing weight
ephedrine hcl 25mg
a little off subject .
when i started competing i started taking 2 25mg tabs of this before training,
ive been doing this now for more then 10 years.
its true if you take it throughout the day you could have some probs. but taken once in the morning it is the best fat burner met, booster. and has been around for hundreds of years,it was taken off the market as people were abusing it as well as making hard drugs from it.
it is avail. at a very good price.

Thanks all for the replies.
I researched it and it looks like people got good responses from it in moderation.
However, it is not for me. I will stick to a clean diet and excecise. HIIT is still the best i think and I highly recommend it. It is like interval training and I have lost 10 lbs in 1 month doing it.

It always worries me when first time posters come on here asking questions about what they see as a quick fix solution. Assuming there is no sales pitch to follow, the ECA stack should only ever be used as part of a solid nutrition/training programme and, even then only as a last resort having plateaued or with a competition approaching.
Ephedrine does work but, as has been said, comes with side effects. Addiction, higher core temperature, high blood pressure, insomnia, jitters, constantly needing the bathroom etc. Add this to the fact that, when you stop taking it (its not cheap and it requires cycling) if you don't adjust your diet/training accordingly, guess what happens as your metabolism/core temperature slows/cools down.......you simply store all that fat again, probably more.
Unless carefully managed and researched, I would say it shouldn't be used. Certainly not one for newbies.
ETA: To the OP, HIIT is a much better idea - good for you and congratulations on your progress so far

Doh! You mug, it was just a slightly smarter than usual bit of spam. The ECA question was just there to throw you off the scent of the ad for HIIT that he's now posted twice in this thread

I noticed that after I posted but, couldn't be @rsed to re-post or edit. Besides, the info is still valid and HIIT (as a concept, not numpties site specifically) is a good thing to steer people towards.
Maybe I should advertise lifting weights or cardiovascular excercise - d'you think they might catch on in the fitness community?
OK, the thead here has lil real content so far, but a question I have, that did not get addressed..... is the list.
Ephedrine- What do the biochemist peeps think of the post about taking 50 mgs before races for the last 10 years? (us athletes think he is a cheating no good bastahd!) but what oif the effects to heart rate, when you are going to race, and then take some speed first?
Core temperature?
the difference between ephed and caffein?
how does aspirin fit into this list?
for pain, when I have it, about daily, I wil take ibufrofein, or asitametaphin.
Thoughts on all this?

Do your homework
you have to do your homework. the only reason it was dangerous is because people were abusing it. it happens to be the most effective weight loss stack ever. and definately not expensive 5$ for 50 pills is not expensive. don't listen to people who just want to state what they think when they haven't done research and a lot of it. your metabolism goes up and core temperature goes up so you can burn fat and it hangs on to muscle so you are actually burning what you want to lose. do your research don't ask people who don't know.

Did you mean to reply to 3 year old dead thread? 4/27/08 is the last post before your rant.
Actually, ephedrine + caffeine has been studied by multiple respected laboratories and was found to be the best treatment for obesity when used appropriately.
I was born obese and was introduced to the EC stack when I was 14 years old and have been using it consistently for over 15 years. I am healthy and have never been treated for any illnesses. I am currently at a healthy weight and have a very low body fat percentage compared to most Americans.
I am an active person but I do not follow any strict workout routines. Before starting the EC stack my doctor placed me on a restricted diet and exercise regimen for 2 years; I dropped only 10lbs in 2 years of eating rabbit food. However, 6 months after starting EC I was able to lose 55lbs of which was mostly excess fat. The EC stack corrects metabolic disorders in obese people wonderfully.
However, if you do not have a metabolic disorder and are only trying to lose 5-10 lbs of vanity weight I would not suggest using it because you may not see the results you want with an appropriate dosage. This is why people over dose and cause themselves harm. I lost those 55lbs taking only 25mg E/ 100mg C 1x daily and I maintain my weight by taking 10 mg E/ 50 mg C 1x daily.
I know what works for me and I have never abuse this supplement.
If you are really interested in learning about the EC stack PLEASE research

Also, remember this..more people die everyday from using aspirin, alcohol, and nicotine than anyone who has ever used the EC stack appropriately, yet all three of these harmful drugs are very legal and sold everywhere.
