The ephedrine is usually combined with caffeine. You want to be careful if this is your first time with ephedrine. Especially at your BF %, you are at more risk for heart related problems. So make sure when you begin to take it you asses your tolerance. Start off slow taking 1 – 25mg pill in the morning for a week, if you are seeing no adverse effects it is probably ok to increase your dosage to 1 pill in the morning and one in the afternoon. You can combine this with 1- 200mg pill of caffeine. I use prolab caffeine or primaforce (it doesn’t matter which). More important than any of this though is making sure your diet is on track. Diet is more effective and important than any supplement.

Think James did a good job on what you need to watch out for. Take it easy starting out on the supps. Low-carbing would be the best option for losing a lot of weight, though the diet can be difficult. We've seen good results with people on the Body for Life program (Spiritwalker was a regular member on here and he had great results with it). Maybe look into something along the lines of the South Beach Diet as well. Use this little device to get an idea of what your daily caloric intake should be: http://html.kcra.com/sh/health/diettv/calc/bmrcalc.htmlIf you low-carb you can afford to go over a bit on the total calories for the day. Whatever diet you do decide to go on take the time to sit down and write out your nutritional values for a day. Measure your food as well. We get used to seeing "serving size: 1 cup" all the time, but do you realize what 1 cup can actually be? You will learn a lot of you take the time to do this. Since you obviously have a computer, start a file up to keep your nutrient values close by. Find some meals & snacks that are good for you and plan your meals in advance. For me at least, if I come home with no idea of what I'm going to eat for dinner I find myself more tempted to stray from eating right. As far as cardio goes, start off easy. HIIT would be something good to get into eventually, but if you've been fairly sendentary for a few months don't worry about starting out by running 3 miles. Start off with 5 minute programs for a few days, then moving up to 10, then either increase the intensity/resistence levels over time. Good luck! Let us know if you have more questions. Let us begin a revolution. I herebye place Skate at the helm. HARRR what be yer orders Captain?! - u.w.f.f. You hate us 'cause we'll never go away
And like some sort of fungus we're growing everyday
And our knuckles aren't dragging so I guess that leaves to say

| QUOTE (Deanna @ Nov 6 2005, 06:33 PM) | | I am new to this fourm and would like assistance. I am extremely obese 54% body fat and have purchased the biotek maximun strenth ephedrine to assist with burning fat. Is there anything else I should combine with this? I will be starting out with water aerobics along with weight training. I need to drop fast 6 to 8 months over 120 lbs. Am I on the right track? recommendation welcomed. |
Over 120lbs? And here i was being depressed lately over my difficulty in loseing 20lbs. I feel for ya... I HIGHLY recommend going on a Low-Carb diet. I used to way 330lbs and was very overweight,but got down to 223lbs that way. All i did was cut down to little or no carbs STRICTLY, and did at least an hour of cardio on a treadmill or exercise bike EVERYDAY. Unfortunitly it seems as though the body builds up a nasty tolerence to low-carb after awhile.After my marvelous successes with it, it just stopped working completly even though i was doing everything the same.All i can suggest is to not get comfortable and go off the diet because that seems to make that occure sooner... While i have gained some of the weight back since then,low-carb has helped alot to get me as far as i am. As for Biotek Ephedrine , in my opinion ephedrine is HIGHLY overrated and does very LITTLE if anything to aid weightloss. What it does do well however is make a GREAT appetite surpressent when combined with caffiene(RECOMENDED from coffee). This could be VERY helpful as sticking to a low-carb diet is tough. The body naturally craves carbs and 90% of most fun foods out there have carbs in them. If i were you i would try: Strictly cutting down little to no carbs a day,and an hour of cardio EVERYDAY w/ephedrine+coffee. Good Luck.

Grave - why the ephedra hatin' brotha???  While I disagree about it being overrated, he does bring up something that most people don't realize - around 75% of weightloss while taking ephedra is due to the appetite suppression you will experience, a GOOD thing while dieting. Grave is right that it is not a supermagicwonderpilltomakeyouskinny supplement. It is a very effective product when taken properly (along with caffeine). Some other supps you could consider that are cheap and help with fat loss would be green tea & fish oils - two supplements that should always be in your stack regardless of goals. That good thing about being overly overweight is that in the initial months of starting a program the fat should really melt away quickly, which is a HUGE motivational tool. At one time I was almost 400lbs and dropped 130+lbs by watching what I ate and plain ol' busting ass in the gym. I did take an ephedra/ caffeine containing product so that did help out a lot. Don't get upset if you have some weeks where you don't lose as much as the week before, or if you run into times where you can't make it to the gym some nights. Just get back on track as soon as possible and you'll be fine. Like Doc said - official welcome to the board  Let us begin a revolution. I herebye place Skate at the helm.

Sorry. I've been taking it for quite the while now and have never got much results from it that would lead me to believe its worth a crap. However i have heard some mention in the past that the body gets used to it when taken to often, so i've stop taking it now.
Will start again a few weeks from now to see if it makes a difference.

Your body gets used to it in terms of the stimulant effects. But chronic usage of EC stacks have proven to be more effective regarding thermogenesis.
As far as results go, if your diet and training are off to begin with, no supplement will give you any significant result. In any event, EC stack can help, but don't expect dramatic results. Nothing short of anabolics/drugs will give you a significant boost.
I'm going to assume you had a solid diet and training routine prior to starting EC and that you were already making progress. That being said, a lot of the general public expect it to be this magic pill that will automatically correct a retarded diet and/or exercise in a bottle, when this is not the case.
