    Default Ephedra Free Metabolife

    Anyone using ephedra free version of this ?
    I am stuck above my target weight and don't think I can add more workout time to my day as I am already doing
    two 90 workouts a day- 30/45 of cardio split in 2 small sessions (rotating between bike/treadmill/step areobics depending on mood) and light weights 10- 25 lbs (depending on muscle group) and 4 sets of 25 situps (rotating ab muscle groups each set)

    I eat less than 2500 pretty much all the time, usualy closer to 2000 with a balance of carbs,protiens and fats. I tend crave carbs and sugars- I try to keep "white carbs" out of the house by using multi grain breads and pastas and non- bleached sugar and flour and I use soy for dairy whenever I can ( milk breaks me out )

    Would adding an ephedra free supplement to my diet help me lose this last 7 pounds? I want to get back into my cute size 5 clothes again, presently I'm in a 7

I know there's ben some discussion on the old version with ephedra so I thought for sure somebody could share some personal experiences to help me out, but looks like I am shit outa luck -- so I guess I'll just give it a shot myself then and post results so that if anyone else is considering there will be some info on it .

    frankly i dont think epedra is bad for you. you can overdose on epedrine... but thats another topic (i am an herbalist)....

    my husband is on epedrine free hyroxycut. he seems to like it so far. hes acting crazier though. and it raised his blood preasure. but not in a bad way if that makes sence.

    you are eating right and exersizing well, and your body still dosnt want to lose the weight then maybe thats where you are suppost to be. remember muscle weighs more then fat. get your fat tested. take your measurements. I have the same bust, cheast, waist, and hip measurements now as i did when i weighed 125lbs (now 13 the diffrence is my abs, thighs, and arms are stronger. I also look thinner now.

    I use ephedra free Xenadrine. I used to use the regular one till they banned it. It made me work out like crazy. But after the rush, I felt like a complete zombie.
    I loved it..

    Thanks ladies for your comments

    I bought a bottle of 90 pills and am going to start with them tomorrow (Mon.) I'll post periodical results.
    Also thanks for the suggestion on checking my body fat levels. Maybe I'm being vain about the dress size thing, but I've got some super cute spring/summer stuff I'd like to wear comfortably again

    i ve said it before and ill say it again. epedra is not bad for you. epedrine is only bad in excess (which most people for quick results did).

    epedra used to be used to treat STD's back in the day.... other stuff too, I just found the STD thing intresting....

    That's interesting ami, i didn't know this.....

    Also i was wondering when you say ephedrine is only harmful when used in excess ( which i have also heard from a trainer ) if this applies to diet pills?

    Seraya.

    although this site dosn't differentite between epedra species...


    Mormon tea
    Ephedra nevadensis
    ...Known to early settlers of the American West as "squaw tea," Ephedra nevadensis was favored by the Indians for its reputed health-giving properties. Speculation goes that the drink took on the name Mormon tea because it was an excellent subsitute for Mormon-scorned coffee or regular tea.
    A Chinese variety of Epedra known as "Ma-Huang" was used in the Far East for over 2,000 years and, according to Chinese Folk Medicine by H. Wallnofer, it was revered for almost all the same health-giving qualities as its Western cousin.
    Early pioneers brewed this tea as a remedy for colds and kidney disorders as well as a blood purifier or "spring tonic."....

    Ephedra trifurca and viridis: This was known in the West as Morman tea, and was drunk by the Indians for veneral disease cure. Another species coming from the Far East gives us the drug ephedrine, which has many true medical uses.

    (i love reading and reasearch, am i sick...?)

    I belive that drugs are only good in thier whole form. when taken in the more standard forms like pills they are useually not even real and always are not whole. They (the phamisutical companys) extract only the part that does the major work, and dump the rest. The rest is what balences it and makes it so that the drug dosn't make you sick. I think diet pills are included in with just about anything that takes just the epedrine and uses that alone. Just a thought, but I wouldn't think Mormans would take anything too weird.

    ok week 1 report- I have noticed a bit of a cleansing effect if you know what I mean LOL~ and some added energy to my workouts ao I've been tempted to tac on an extra 10 mins of cardio but I'm going to hold off on that to see if these pills actually help burn more caliories. I havent weighed in since its only been a week but I'm interested to see the results from the scale after 2 weeks. So until next week......

    Hey Rayanna, LOL @ the cleansing comment.
    It will do it to you, as it speeds your metabolism.

    Good idea not to weigh yourself every week either. While your upping your cardio, you may lose weight, obviously, but you will definetely lose inches off your waist and/or hips. Maybe other places as well. So make the mirror your friend, and dont worry too much about the scale as sometimes it can be deceiving. lol
    If your doing any kind of weight training, you may even gain weight but thats that whole muscle weighs more than fat, thing.
    Good luck and keep up posted. I will restart my Xenadrine this week, monday actually.

    Well the scale reads the same but its only been 2 weeks so I'm not going to put too much stock in it and actually I am thinking of just doing 30 more days with Metablife along with my usual workout ( should I add more cardio or another set of reps with my weights maybe ) and not weigh in untill after the 30 days are up. That will be about 45 days~ that should be enough time to see if they work for me or not right ?

    I used Trimspa and for me it made me gain weight. I went up to 130. My normal weigh is 120. I didn't get that.

    I weighed in 5 lbs less today and I tried on a pair of my size 5 jeans and zipped them up but they are still a little to tight to wear just yet. Hopefully in another 2 weeks I'll be back into a comfortable size 5 again ers:

    I myself have not needed any help with products at this point in my life! I have had friends who tried many products with great help. Watch out for anything that raises heart rate, even though some products say Ephedra Free, they add another product that can do the same thing, raise heart rate, blood pressure etc. Make sure you research ALL products that you may be interested in. Many names are used in some products that can be dangerous


    Just a heads up! Lets all stay healthy while losing the weight!
