I think I was taking it in the morning just before breakfast.

As far as diet theres a bit more to that than can be answered in one post. To lose fat and spare muscle you have to be careful with your calorie intake. It has to be below your maintenance level, but still high enough to maintain most of your muscles. There's more to it than just calories, but that has more to do with general nutrition info., and there is tons of that in the diet section.

-will it burn any muscle? - - I think not, but keep your protein intake to optimum levels anyway.
-should u workout while taking it? - - Sure, why not? Remember to drink tons of water because Ephedra raises your temperature.
-what time of day should i take it? - - Two or three times should do it. Careful not to take it at night....it keeps me awake.
-what kind of diet should i be on? - - You wanna burn fat? So I guess you should take it easy on the fat and carbs.
-and what else should i take with it to get optimum results? - - Aspirin and caffeine work well with Ephedra.

You said you have 25mg tabs of EPHEDRA....isn't it Ephedrine? You need 400mg of Ephedra to be more or less equal to 25mg of Ephedrine.
