Hi PartyBoy Firstly just wanna say your dedication to giving information to others is amazing.
I started the stack 4 days ago E(Unknown 2 Tablets) C(200mg) A(150mg) not much in the way of side affects apart from the hand shaking.
1.) I would like to know if you could tell me how much ephidrine is in the tablet it looks identical to pro plus but has no writing and is half the size
Thanks bugz, and a warm welcome to MT
Eph comes in many different forms and really is quite difficult to ascertain what you actually have. Normally, ephs would come in at between 20 - 30mg, assuming that you have a legitimate product.
2.) I am taking with a small bowl of a fibre breakfast a salad with a small amount of meat for lunch and a low fat low carb microwave meal for tea i also put alot of tuna egg whites fish and chicken in my diet for the protein. I go to the gym 3 times i week where i do 2 and a half hours weights and cardio am i eating enough?
I would susupect not from the information you have given. Your diet by the sounds of things needs a complete overhaul. I would have a look around the diet forum and seek advice to enable you to nail yours.
and if im not does it hurt not eating enough?
Yes, catabolism will not be far away and metabolic rate is likely to be compromised.
tried 5 meals a day but cant stomach it when the Eph kicks in.
I can appreciate this. Eph seriously suppresses appetite for me also. Its a superb feature of the drug tbh, though sometimes works a little too well, especially the first 2 or 3 weeks of administration. You must ensure that you still feed your body regularly, even if that means one or to of your meals are merely protein shakes.
3.) Talked to my Dr and he said the stack is pointless because when your finished the weight all comes back on is this true or was he just trying to scare me?
Pretty much all of the drugs we use are typically frowned upon within the medical profession as a whole. As for the fact that the weight will be regained, well this would only be true if you were generally taking in (eating) more calories than you expend (through daily metabolic functions and activity). This equation holds true whether you use ephedrine or not. By using ephedrine you are merely tipping the odds in your favour by:
a) Slightly increasing caloric expenditure through thermogenisis and;
b) Controlling appetite thus helping avoid eating habits likely to lead to fat accumulation.
4.) is losing 5 stone in 6 months realistic? thats about 3 pounds a week or would i need to up the cardio?
3 pounds a week seems reasonable for someone who has plenty of fat to lose. You may find that your fat loss pw gradually lessens as you reach your target. Only you can gauge how much activity you need to help along your fat loss. I would say though generally you're looking at 3 or 4 cardio sessions of 30-45mins per week. If you must do your cardio at the same time as your weights, ALWAYS do your weights first.
