Hydroxycut w/ephedra

jagkitty45 · 19-Jan-04, 04:52 PM

2 1/2 years ago I lost 25 lbs on Hydroxycut and maintained the weight loss - felt energetic, ate nutritious, looked great, etc. I exercised regularly (yoga 2x a week and treadmill 2x a week) and took Hydroxycut with ephedra (2 a day during the week and none on the weekend) as maintenance.

Because of the FDA ban, two months ago I stopped taking it and have put on 15 pounds without changing my lifestyle. I am sad about this turn of events!!! Due to demanding work hours I can't increase the amount of time exercising. The thought of going on a severely restrictive diet is depressing. Is there anyone out there who has any supplement suggestions?

Mind you, I'm am really new to the supplements and all of this stuff, but I have been doing a lot of reading, and the best that I have found, and with the most recommendations from people as to what works and what doesnt, is Xenadrine EFX.

That review has a lot about all of the others as well. I've also heard a lot of good things about VPX Redline, but it is fairly new, and I don't think that it has had as much clinical studies done with it yet.

Hope that helps.

Misunderstanding.... did you take it all the way from 2 and 1/2 years ago and stop 2 months ago... so you took it for 2 years .. or you took it 2 and 1/2 years ago, started back a couple months ago then had to stop bc of the FDA banning it?

ahhh, that's a long time to take it!!! but I also have taken hydroxycut and xenadrine with ephedra in the past and gotten great results. yes htey banned those 2 products but they make this other one called metabadrine....it has the same ingredients and works the same. U can get it at gorilla vitamins... online. But do u want to be on them for the rest of your life?

I loved Ephedra

: , cant beat it with anything exept maybe Clen. but that is ilegal, best bet is to buy the old hydroxicut on ebay little more than we used to pay but it is legal to purchase just cant sell post made since the ban.

All you need to know is???

Believe it or not M&F mag had an article on replacedments for ephedra in this months issue. I don't have it with me right now but they listed like 7 or 8 natural sups that would help. I know that green tea was one of them but can't remember the rest. Go to the newstand and just read that article I think it was on page 195 or something close to that.
