Rep Power: 5 | | | ephedra, is it safe? I have a friend that is taking ephedra, i told him it's not safe and he should stop taking it. i know this product was banned in 2004 but now i see it at nutrition stores. I myself take hydrogycut and was suggested to take yellow cross which contains ephedra. I know with procut is even worse for women because they don't have as strong a system as men.I don't think it's a good idea for anyone. What do you guys and gals think? |

Rep Power: 217 | | why do you think you need a pill for weight loss?

Rep Power: 5 | | | i haven't looked around this site about ephedra yet, but thanks for the advise, i will. I've done searches around the internet and they all say different things. just wanted to see if anyone had used it or new more than i. I've lost 70 lbs without any pills. I"m just trying to get over a hurdle and thought hydrogycut might do the trick. |

Rep Power: 182 | | | Your first thought when you reach a hurdle should not be pills generally. |

Rep Power: 5 | | i've tried to cut my calories, but they are pretty low right now. and i like to eat a good amount of protien and carbs the day of my workout when i can. I've been at a stand still for 3-4 months now. I plan on starting the hydrogycut on monday, do you have any suggestions before i do? |

Rep Power: 182 | | I haven't looked at hydroxycut in a while. I'm not sure of the ingredients list or dosage. Sorry.
Also, realize that a plateau can easily be caused too strict or long a diet and generally trying to bully your way past a plateau when it's caused by these sorts of things isn't advisable. |

Rep Power: 5 | | | Just from reading diaries on here, a lot of people have gotten past their plateaus by eating what they want for 1-1.5 weeks. Might want to try that before hydroxycut. |

Rep Power: 5 | | Thanks sarah. Well i think that is great advise. I was on the scale today and i've lost 3 Lbs the the last 9 days. I was deer hunting in northern minnesota a couple weeks ago and was eating more than usuall and it wasn't healthy. And i was doing it for 9 days so it think it might have worked. My buddy at the gym today was asking me how the hydrogycut was working and i told him i was gonna hold off on it because i've started losing again. I don't wanna put that crap in my body if i don't have too. But if i do i will. I'm trying to get to 200 by May for my brothers wedding. THanks again sara |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
