| I took ephedrine-based products for a little over a year. I was about 215lbs then and am still 5' 11'. I'm about 170lbs right now, and am no longer taking anything with ephedrine in it...be it the Metabolife, Diet Fuel, Rippled Fuel, Xenadrine, or any of the cheap knock offs. I'll tell you that ephedrine does work, especially if you actually work out and don't eat, or at least eat healthy. They definitely have side effects, but the positive effects out weigh the mood swings and constant bathroom trips to pee...among other things. I'm staying away from the stuff now though, and my weight fluctuates a lot. I was down to around 155 at my lowest weight, but just didn't feel healthy.
I'm 20 years old, and when I started, I was just getting out of high school. Since then, I've tried to start a pro wrestling organization and I can tell you that anything with ephedrine is great for energy, but when I was 155 everything hurt! I just couldn't get anything accomplished because I would constantly be hurting parts of my body because of not being in good shape. I may have lost 50lbs, but I also lost a lot of muscle mass, and I am still working on getting in good shape. I'm 18% body fat right now. To lose weight, and do it right, Metabolife and other pills like it aren't the way to keep the wieght off. I'm now taking Kava Kava, St. Johns Wort, Bee Pollen, and a few other work out supplements to get me self together. Hopefully I'll be fine.
Now, to get to the topic. Metabolife, and everything else with ephedrine in it, is a vasco constrictor and tightens your arteries. It raises your blood pressure and is not good for your heart. It's basically over-the-counter speed or methamphetamine, but not nearly as strong. From what my dad has heard, cocaine is actually less dangerous for you as far as it being a vasco constrictor. Can anyone here post how they did after they lost the weight? Yes, all the junk works, but were they able to keep the weight off and stay healthy? What about your body, how did it look? I still have a lot of extra skin, and so my upper body still doesn't look very good. Please respond if you've had experience getting in great shape after a long period of using ephedrine products.
