Hey everyone. I'm trying to lose fat, I'm on the Cyclical Ketogenic diet, journal is in the Journal Forum.

Anyways, when I asked my parents if I could get ephedrine (to make a ECA stack), my parents said no cus it will kill me. I told them that millions of people take it, but they still don't believe me. I don't think they even know waht ephedrine is, but they don't want me to take caffeine cus they think I'll get addicted or something...

Anyways, how safe is ECA for me, and are there any articles I could print off and show them. Thanks.

The only way it will kill you is if you OD on it. But the sides will be much more common in the case of teens because of its affects on the CNS. And since you're "young" or CNS hasnt adapted to enough stresses to handle Ephedra yet.....

I wouldnt personally. At your age, cardio will do the job of shedding adipose cells and general fat accumulation.
