How is everyone

well I have a few question, i want to loose 25 to 35 pounds. I am starting back att he gym monday morning.
I am also looking into buying some pills to aid in helping to loose weight, When i was in the marines i used hydroxycut with ephedra in it, and it worked good, but now i cant find it anymore. I went to the local gnc and they said zantrex 3 is the new hot seller, i have never heard of it, does it work, and is it worth it. Or what else my be some good stuff to buy.

Also i have met-rx here is it also worth using, i got a few boxes for my bday and never used it

thank in advance for all the help

Let us know your stats (i.e., weight, height).

I've never heard of Zantrex, but nothing will work quite as well as ephedrine. Regardless, the real key to dropping bodyfat is diet and exercise. I'm sure the Zantrex couldn't hurt (looks like it has some green tea in it...) but it's not going to make or break your success.

Depending on how many calories you're currently consuming, I'd shoot for a 3000 cal. daily limit.

If you're not used to dieting start with a standard 40/30/30 split (P/F/C).

That works out to the following daily totals:
Protein - 300g
Carbs - 225g
Fat - 100g

This is just a rough estimate. You'll have to consider genetics, activity level, etc., and adjust your totals based on weekly progress.

If you're used to dieting, and already eat pretty clean, I'd go with a CKD. Check out Mr. X's articles at the massmonsters.net forums. massmonsters.net

I agree with Stryc-9

Non Ephedra diet pills work

Use your METRx

 

[Brandonwall]

so the metrx is good to go then

i havnt been eating to good latly, one reason is where iw ork, everywhere you look is candy, soda, chips, and we are allowed to eat what we want.

I need some good hydroxycut aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

where can i buy some that has ephedra in it?

hydroxycut is pretty expensive and the hydroxycitric acid in it can be a problem. I was about your size and have been on Mr. X's peanut butter diet for a while now, this morning I weighed 217 (down 33 lbs).

The ANPB diet is really easy, and cost effective.

The Met-Rx shakes are good but IMO they taste terrible. Lots of calories/carbs too if you're trying to lose weight. I'd suggest buying Whey Isolate (proteinfactory), its probably half as expensive as the Met-Rx shakes and its easier to plan out a diet using straight whey protein.

This was from Mr. X on a previous thread for getting supps w/ephedra:

ephedrine
green tea extract
Alpha lipoic acid
5htp
white kidney bean extract
add some caffeine for max results

Mr.X

seriously, check out the ANPB diet or one of his CKD diets.

Good luck!

can i still buy hydroxycit with ephedra in it? and if so where

 

[Stryc-9]

You're better off buying pure ephedrine HCL tabs and combining it with some caffeine. I'm not sure where you live, I've heard some guys are having trouble finding ephedrine. I'm in Canada and I can buy 300 8mg caps for around 10$ (Canadian).

But don't get too hung up on thermogenics. If you have a lot of weight to lose, you need to concentrate on diet and hitting those weights. Good luck in your search!

muscletech (the makers of hydroxycut) discountinued their line that contained ephedra .. their new formula is ephedra-free ... the makers of xenadrine did the same thing. im sure there are a few still floating around, but its a lot cheaper just to buy the ingredients separately online
