What's the best metabolism pill I could buy?
One that'll help me lose weight faster while I exercise and muscle-build?

Thanks!

1. Let me caution you about those pills...
First of all if you are going to use these, make sure your diet is in check first... without that they are useless.

Second, only use them when you've hit a plateau and need help breaking through.

Your chances of building significant muscle while losing weight is tough, but as you lose bodyfat the muscle you have will be more apparent and defined, which is good.

I would stay away from the ones that promise a miracle, I've used the following ones with success:

Animal Cuts
Lipo-6 ( I have these but haven't used yet, many friends used and swear by them)
Ephedrine/Caffeine stack (25mg/200mg) twice a day (before you use this please PM me with directions)


That's pretty much it. The EC stack works the best and is the cheapest but if you have any heart issues it's not for you.

3. I've read a ton of studies that say the asprin neither helps or
hurts you. It's up to you, I used the stack without the aspirin and worked well for me.

4. I never tried it myself ...
always heard it as an ECA stack, the aspirin working with the caffeine to give it a kick.

Whatever works.

6. Gotta do it, my belly fat has to go and the pressure on my lower back gone...
I need more in core metabolism so I feel strong enough to lift things. I can lift them right now but get tired too quickly and it's disconcerting.

I did exercise again today and noted increased stamina, but I'm worried about 'too little too late'... I've GOT to take the risk and belly fat elimination is priority...

I've read up on ephedra as well... I had a heart test a few months ago and the tests were beautiful, so I have no heart issues.


My diet is good - lots of small meals but I know I have to keep food around or else I will get hungry, dizzy, et al - yuck.

7. That's fine, I might go for just a plain stimulant like caffeine pills
rather than a "metabolism pill" or thermogenic. They only raise metabolism about 2 - 4% depending so it will help but it certainly isn't a crutch for a bad diet. I use caffeine pills sometimes I'm feeling sluggish before a workout 200mg of caffeine about 30 before workout and you're feeling good again. Good luck.
