Fake Ephedra
May 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The diet industry stoops to new lows by marketing “ehpedra extract 25 mg” but they do not mention that the product does NO have the active ingredient in ephedra.
As a marketer of ephedra products for almost twenty years, I believe I know what I’m talking about when it comes to ephedra diet pills.
A list of Fake Ephedra Pills
These are pills you bought in the past that contained real ephedra alkaloids, but they don’t anymore:
- Yellow Swarm
- Lipodrene
- Stimerex ES
- Zenalean Pro
- Tri-Methy-Lean
- Megadrine RFA-1
- Smacker Extreme
- ECA Xtreme
- Hydroxyslim
- Tri-Stack Xtreme
- Blu Impact Ephedra
- ephBURN 25
This is the hall of shame. The good news is there are a few bottles of real ephedra products left: Metabadrine is available at GorillaVitamins.com.

Use Ephedra to Jumpstart Weight Loss
April 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Metabadrine is the only real ephedra left.I know there are a lot new and legal ephedra ads on the internet, but this is ephedra leaves and they do not contain the all important alkaloids that stimulate thermogenesis.
What is Thermogenesis, you say?
Several things can product this effect. Ephedra is the best known but eating a high protein diet can do it also. This is when your core body temperature increases and causes you to burn more calories and draw down fat stores.
Weight lifting is another method of stimulating thermogenesis. Often bodybuilders will take ephedra products and consume large quantities of protein to get the fat off. They often reach body fat percentages we can only dream about. On the other hand, I don’t want 3% body fat. I’d be happy and healthy reaching 15%.
Metabadrine and weight lifting are the tools of choice for losing weight. The problem is that there is only a small amount of stock left.

April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
It would come as a surprise to many that a diet high in fibers such as glucomannan is actually very useful in reducing the weight of individuals. Additionally it has also been found out that the supplemental intake of fibers dramatically reduces the fat content of individuals. It is also found that these supplements not just decreased the weight of the individuals but also reduced the risk of type II diabetes.

Which is the best fiber source?
Glucomannan is one such fiber, which is marketed and used widely for its weight reduction properties. Glucomannan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide fiber generally obtained from the corms and the roots of the konjac plant. Although there are many other fibers such as pectins (found in apples), there is none more potent at reducing weight, and decreasing blood sugar levels than glucomannan. Glucomannan is also available as capsules, the best-marketed version of it being FibraSlim. FibraSlim specifically combines glucomannan with other ingredients to act as a weight loss medicine.

All Ephedra is not the Same, Beware of Fake Ephedra
April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Metabadrine is the only real ephedra left in April 2008. Supplies are low. When it sells out there will be no more made.
There is a difference between ephedrine alkaloids and synthetic ephedrine marketed as ephedra diet pill products.
This month has seen a rise in the new ephedra, Ephedra viridis, is not the same as ephedra sinica. This product is being marketed as the only legal ephedra sold in the U.S. Well, that’s because its worthless!
Ephedrine is only one of the naturally occurring alkaloids present in Ephedra extracts. Other alkaloids include pseudoephedrine (which is less potent than ephedrine) and alkaloids that slow the absorption of ephedrine from the digestive tract and/or counteract the stimulant effects of the ephedrine in the extracts.

Obesity, defined as Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2 , is a widespread problem in the U.S., the cause of many diseases and a major public health concern. One-third of Americans, up from 25 percent as recently as 1980, are obese, according to statistics gathered by the National Institute of Health.
This dramatic rise in such as short time paints in alarming picture of the rapidly mounting threat obesity poses to our national health. Removing ephedra diet pills from the market will only raise the rates.
Obesity increases the risk of severe chronic illnesses, most notably heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and is associated with reduced life span. Obesity kills over 300,000 U.S. citizens each year. Nearly six percent of all the total health care costs in this country, more than fifty billion dollars, is attributable to obesity. Clearly, ephedra products would be a part of any reasonable plan to combat the rise in obesity, but politicians pander to special drug company interests.

Safe Effective and more that Weight Loss: Glucomannan
April 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Glucomannan is More than a safe weight loss ingredient
Glucomannan is a fermentable, soluble and highly viscous dietary fiber, which is a derivative from the root of the konjac plant, native to Asia. Initial data suggests that glucomannan may encourage weight loss. This study enlightens studies using Glucomannan for weight loss besides studies inspecting its mechanism of action. When administered doses of 2-4 g per day, Glucomannan was well tolerated and resulted in noteworthy weight loss in obese and overweight persons. There is some proof that glucomannan offers its favorable effects by promoting satiety and fecal energy loss. Additionally, glucomannan has been shown to improve lipid and lipoprotein parameters and glycemic index. Further study of efficacy, safety and mechanism of action is needed to determine whether GM can help to decrease the high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the United States [4].
There are clinical evidences that suggest glucomannan may play a positive role in reducing weight [1]. Glucomannan is basically a soluble fiber. After ingestion, it absorbs water from our intestinal tract and becomes a viscous gel-like mass. It then triggers the nerves present in the walls of GI system to send a signal to the satiety center present in the thalamus of our central nervous system. Therefore, the person has a false impression of satiety.

New Way to Fight Fat says Ephedra Xpert
April 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Looking for diet pills with real ephedra alkaloids?
Stamford is studying a new weight loss devise called VBLOC, which will fool the brain into thinking you are full and do not need more food. the devise will be studied up to five years in this country. It has already been un use over seas.
Avoid Lap Band Surgery
Although the devise will have to inserted under the skin, the hope is that it will eliminate the surgery where a tight band is inserted around the stomach to control the volume of food consumed. This devise will emit electric signals to te brain via the vagal nerves. These mixed up signals will tell the brain the stomach is full, leading to lower caloric consumption and ultimately weight loss.
Weight loss surgery has been around since the 60’s and there are about 150,000 performed here each year. the most common form if the surgery is gastric-Bypass and is done using laparoscopic methods. Id the FDA oks this product, it will eliminate the need for the more invasive procedure.
