jeez. all you folks talking about gaining weight, 3000 calorie days etc....you all make me sick.
on the flipside, what i need is a metabolism booster. way back when before ephedrine got whacked, when i first started working out, i used a suppliment that had it in it, one in the morning, and one before my work out (cardio heavy, light, multi rep weights), and i did that for like 6 weeks, cycled off of it for a month, still working out eveyr day, then back on....did that for a year, lost 80 lbs, with the first 50 or so coming off in the first 4 months or so. after that, i started lifting more, built a little more muscle and weight loss leveled off, but the inches came off the waist. went from a 42 to a 36.
anyway, the suppliment i was taking was great. really curbed my appetite, i drank tons of water, and when i worked out, i really got a lot out of it. I know the stuff wound up being considered dangerous, but i never over uesed it and cycled on and off of it like you're supposed to. worked like a champ.
