    Default xenadrine with aspirin?

    Hi, I'm Chasity, Naomi's friend. I heard that if you take xenadrine with 81 mg aspirin it's suppose to make it go to your blood stream quicker and intensify the effect.
    Do any of ya'll know if this is true? I'm trying to lose weight the easiest and fastest way besides diet and exercise.
    My boyfriend and I eat out alot so it's hard to see him eat the good food while I eat the low fat stuff.

    Asprin being the blood thinner that it is, i would not doubt any 'drug' or food is going to enter the stream fast. I don't really like the sound of both you mention combined.

    Why not go ask a doc. There has got to be something made for what you are trying to reach as a goal to weight lose.

    Any drug starting with Xena. I don't like the sound of. Read about it, and ask a doc.

    Thats just my opinion. Be careful.

    I have heard that, as well. There are many weight loss supplements that actually include aspirin within the supplement already - usually these are referred to as ECA (ephedrine-caffeine-aspirin) stackers. Together, those three things are supposed to give you better and faster results. Though, I don't know off-hand of any actual case studies done to prove it.

    Anyhow, though, the only xenadrine now available does not have ephedrine, so I do not know if combining aspirin with those ingredients would provide quicker results or not - although, by Pamela's reasoning it seems it would. So I guess it could be worth a shot.

    i always heared that it was effective to take a caffeine pill + aspirin in the morning before you go on your morning walk or whatever. I never tried it tho...

    I would be leery of taking a suppliment that has an asprin-type ingredient in it on top of aspirin itself. Aspirin thins the blood and too much of it can lead to some dangerous health problems, especially if you drink at work as (alcohol also has a blood thinning effect).

    If I were you, I'd steer clear of mixing the two unless absolutely necessary for a legitimate medical reason.

    I wasn't suggesting taking aspirin if you're taking a supplement that already includes aspirin. I was simply saying that some do - Xenadrine, however, is not one of them. Xenadrine is not an example of an ECA stacker - it does have caffeine and the former version had ephedra (although the new version does not), but neither version has ever contained an aspirin-type ingredient. It has, however, been proposed that these three ingredients taken together work better than simply ephedra and caffeine alone and, as such, many companies have developed supplements fitting these criteria (commonly referred to as ECA stackers). Based on this and since Xenadrine does not already include an aspirin product, it seems fair to say that taking a low dose aspirin may improve one's results. However, I'd make sure to start off with a very low dose of aspirin and gauge your body's reaction to the new supplement just to be on the safe side.

    chasity, you might not wanna hear this but there is no easy way to lose weight & keep it off!! if you lose it fast, no doubt you will put it back on just as fast.
    i used to take xenadrine. i started off liking it because it pumped me up and i felt i could get a better workout. however, after my workouts i would feel dizzy, jittery, and just all over, really shitty. even my mood would go up and down like a rollercoaster on xen. my heart would beat so fast i felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. i stopped taking it after i actually read up about it.

    all xenadrine really does is speed up your heart rate & warm your body temperature, which makes you sweat, which makes you lose water weight. as soon as you drink a glass of H20 you will gain the weight right back. this is even more dangerous because it will dehydrate you-- FAST! i also noticed that when i took it i peed ALOT. just another dehydrating effect. dont even bother with this stuff. soon you will find out you may not have ANY energy at all if you dont take it.

    what i do now before i work out is drink sugarfree Red Bull. it gives me energy without making me feel like i'm on speed!!

    so in conclusion my advice would be to skip the xenadrine altogether; DEFINITELY do NOT take it with asprin!! this could be really dangerous. dont even risk it.

    A few comments from a doctor (OBGYN) on weight loss and the above question.
    First off, aspirin is a platelet (COX-1) inhibitor which inhibits clotting, and thereby reduces risk of heart atack or makes one bleed more when cut. The term "blood thinner" is commonly used but the viscosity (thickness) of the blood is not reduced. It should also be noted that smoking both increases the viscosity of blood but also increases clotting which may increase the risk of very dangerous clots such as DVT's (deep venous thromboses) which may result in death. This is further worsened as one ages or by the addition of estrogen, such as in birth control pills. Something to keep in mind for all of you over 35 year old smokers on the pill.
    Secondly, virtually all of the over the counter weight loss products are garbage in terms of their ability to reduce body fat. They do deplete the water and sugar stored in cells which will result in fairly rapid "weight" loss due to dehydration. This weight will return immediately upon discontinuation of the stimulant/diuretic.
    Also since large amounts of water are needed to metabolize fat, this REDUCES the body's ability to burn fat and accomplish the kind of weight loss we really want.
    So far one of the only medications I have been impressed with is Meridia, which works on the brain to reduce hunger relatively safely. It may in rare instances cause severely elevated blood pressure which has resulted in a few death, therefore close monitoring by a physician is necessary. The use of this drug must be combined with an improved diet in order to be effective.
    For anyone wanting to lose weight and keep it off, I recommend the following:
    1. Never skip breakfast. The body senses a lack of incoming calories and lowers the metabolism (how many calories per hour it burns)
    2. Eat a diet relatively low in carbohydrates, which I call Pseudo-Atkins or Atkins Lite. This means cutting down on all of the "white stuff" such as rice, potatoes, bread made from non-whole wheat flour, sugars, cereals (bran is OK), etc.
    3. Eat more protein with each meal, combined with a little fat (preferably good fat such as olive oil, or fish oil). These burn slowly and keep the blood sugar from going too high or too low.
    4. Try to put something nutritious in your mouth at least 3-5 times per day, or about every 3 hours, BEFORE you get hungry. By the time you feel hungry, the body has already lowered its metabolism.
    5. Your mother told you not to eat before dinner because it will "ruin your appetite". Do the opposite. Eat a little something about 30 minutes before a meal to curb your appetite and reduce your desire to pig out. It takes about 30 min from the time you eat something until you begin to feel satisfied,which is why we often overeat when we eat too fast and then feel stuffed.
    6. Never eat in front of the TV! A recent study by the National Institutes of Health showed that people who regularly eat while watching television consume between 100-300 calories per day more than those who don't. Put in perspective that equals as much as 1/2 pound fat/weight gain per week, or 26 pounds per year. Scary.
    7. Load up on fruits and vegetables. The more the better. preferably fresh.
    8. Don't drink your calories. A 12 oz cola, sweet tea or fruit juice has about 150 calories. I'd rather eat a piece of pie at 300-500 calories and give up a few sodas!
    9. Drink lots of water. A gallon a day. The body needs it to burn fat, it hydrates your skin making it look more youthful, takes away the bags under your eyes, reduces back pain, reduces hangovers (mostly due to dehydration), etc, etc. This also means avoiding caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, and sodas, which actually cause us to lose extra water due to their diuretic effect (makes you pee).

    Is that enough? All of the above are based on major research, and are not just my good ideas.

    As a goal I recommend no more than 1 pound weight loss per weight, which can be accomplished by a 500 calorie per day deficit. If for example you need to eat 2300 calories per day to maintain your weight (which might be a 130 pound female who does regular moderate excercise, such as a dancer?), then she would need to eat 1700 calories per day to lose the pound per week. This is NOT a starvation diet!

    Good luck and feel free to ask me questions.

    Ok, well I don't know exactly what everyone looks like here but has anyone thought that they might NOT need to lose the weight? I modeled before I started dancing and my BMI was about 18. That means I had NO boobs, NO hips... yadda yadda. When I started dancing, all that moving around made me NEED to eat more, plus I gained muscle and all. I'm 20 lbs heavier and even though it's still kind of weird, I have HUGE BOOBIES [boobies] ( 3 girls asked me if they were fake the other day since they were so small before and the skin stretched tight over the new growth). and HIPS and guess what? I make twice as much as I did when I was skinny! I talked to other girls at my club and they say the same thing. Hold your stomach in, walk tall, and dress to impress. Hey, we wear those shoes for a reason!
