The controversial diet pill Ephedrine contains an extract from the Ma Huang herb and is used for its appetite suppressant and fat burning effects. Combined with Caffeine and Aspirin in an “ECA stack” this preparation is popular with body builders during the process of cutting for fat loss, due to its reported ability to preserve muscle while it helps burn fat.

Ephedrine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing heart rate and energy expenditure which causes its fat burning effects. It’s appetite suppressant effects can be attributed to alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor stimulation.

It has not always been used in this way, it first gained popularity as an asthma and bronchitis treatment in Chinese medicine due to its vasodilation effects.

In 1997, the American agency FDA placed a ban on quantities of Ephedrine sold in 8mg or more dosage. This was later overturned and replaced after a lengthy appeal process with a ban on ephedrine supplements marketed as diet aids.

This left consumers in the UK uncertain on Ephedrine’s legality in the UK.

Ephedrine is classed as a pharmacy only drug in the UK, but is not listed as a controlled substance in the Misuse of Drugs act. This means it is not illegal to possess in small amounts, and can be purchased in a pharmacy. Over the counter cold remedies such as Pseudaphed contain pseudoephedrine and are widely available in pharmacies.

In a twist, Sida Cordifolia that contains Ephedrine alkaloids is currently legal to buy freely in the UK. The herb is similair to Ma Huang and its leaves and stems contain ephedrine alkaloids. Popular Sida Cordifolia brand include Reflex and Evolution.

Why are we so obsessed with how many calories, fats, points, carbohydrates etc are in the food we eat? Our grandparents didn’t count calories and yet they didn’t have the obesity epidemic that we have now. Alright, so they didn’t have the labor saving devices either, but they didn’t count every morsel that passed their lips.

There are more diets and diet foods available than ever before, but more of us are overweight and obese than ever before. This is because calorie counting is no good for permanent, long term weight loss. So why bother checking the calorie content of everything to try and find the best “slim foods” when it clearly isn’t working.

Supposing you ate only the typical low calorie foods of vegetables, fruits, oats and so on – how often do you think you’d last before you died of boredom? We need variety in our diets, both for our health and well being. I’m not saying that five donuts and three cappuccinos every day is going to get the fat off, but I am saying that to include them occasionally is not going to affect your weight one iota.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re overweight and still trying to get the flab off by counting calories – or counting something – but, if it works, why aren’t you thin? How many times have you tried the same method, lost a bit of weight and then put it back on again? I’ll bet if you ask around, your friends have done the exact same thing.

Give yourself a break and let your body decide what it wants to eat. Take the time to re-discover what it enjoys. Because, make no mistake, your weight problem isn’t due to your body wanting to overeat — it’s your mind that has become accustomed to bigger helpings, desserts, sugary foods etc. And that’s what you should be paying attention to.

Once you’ve sorted that out, you will NEVER have to count a calorie again.

So your being successful with your dieting one minute and the next your not? Your losing weight but your having a hard time maintaining the new weight on a long-term basis and gaining the unwanted weight back again?

It sounds to me like your stuck in a weight loss cycle called “Yo-yo Dieting”! I will assume you are consuming extreme amounts of protein in order to lose weight fast as this is the most common method used.

In the beginning this always makes you feel fantastic and full of pride but I can safely say after a long stretch of time you are really pushing your limits of food rejection and causing yourself to become depressed are probably experiencing fatigue!

These symptoms are causing you to revert back to your old eating habits without thinking about it, therefore creating your yo-yo cycle once again!

So you want it all to stop? You want to be able to maintain your diet and feel good every second of the day…well here are some great tips to get you started losing weight in a healthy way, and best of all maintaining the weight long-term:

Exercise is essential for weight loss – You should aim to perform five 30 minute exercise sessions per week, this could be as simple as walking the dog or a participating in outings.

Make your primary concern eating healthy – Changing your motivation from simply wanting to be thinner, to wanting to be healthy and you will definitely become more successful with your dieting in the long-term.

Ask yourself “why do I over eat?” – Over eating is caused by many different things. Maybe you could be suffering from: depression, stress, boredom, loneliness or anger for example. If you feel like eating the wrong foods excessively, try to figure out what makes you feel this way and do something to avoid it! Make yourself feel good!

Control your food portions – If you are overweight, super-sized meals are a real big NO! If you feel the need to eat something large, try dividing it into half and saving one half until later.

Do you eat too fast? – If your eating too fast, your eating beyond your true level of fullness because you have not given your brain the chance to register that you have been eating and are feeling full.

Your food habits are a real balancing act if you wish to lose weight. You need to break your normal habits which you have grown accustomed to and add some things that may be new. Do you see yourself losing the weight? Are you determined?…Yes…then you will succeed!

It’s amazing that a small cactus like plant from the South African Kalahari dessert is able to help us lose weight in such a large way. The hoodia gordonii plant was discovered by a visiting Dutch anthropologist who was fascinated by the local bush men’s use of this plant to control their appetites and keep them focused during long hunting trips. Shortly after, while studying the plant a British pharmaceutical company ‘Phytopharm’ isolated the chemical responsible for its strong appetite suppressing abilities, they named it P57.

Today hoodia gordonii pills are widely sold over the internet and used by millions of people world wide, it has become one of the most popular weight loss drugs on the market and this is all due to the effectiveness of the P57 molecule.

Thanks to the popular American documentary ‘60minutes’ hoodia gordonii pills were given world wide exposure and millions of people started to enquire about purchasing this new weight loss drug. On hearing rumors about a miracle diet treatment, the T.V. shows presenter Leslie Stahl and her crew journeyed to South Africa to try hoodia gordonii for themselves and see what all the hype was about. This exotic plant is only found in small patches throughout the Kalahari dessert, so tracking down some hoodia took several hours. Leslie describes the taste of hoodia gordonii to be similar to a watery cucumber and she says that she didn’t think of food and drink for the entire day. Besides the main appetite surprising effects, Leslie also describes a slight feeling of well being and heightened awareness, which she found to be very pleasant.

Two major pharmaceutical companies have run successful human trials and all the results have been positive, they will hopefully start producing a line of hoodia gordonii pills in the near future. Currently you can find many weight loss products through the internet that have hoodia gordonii as an included ingredient, though be wary of imitations and scams. These plants are very difficult to cultivate and need extremely dry and hot weather to grow properly, besides this there is a long maturation period that can last for up to two years. With that in mind, any company that offers you large whole sale quantities of hoodia gordonii may not be completely honest.
