Ephedra, or at least, they used to be Ephedra. Basically it's a very powerful stimulant, kinda like getting a bottle of Jolt or a pot of coffee in a pill.
Enough people died that these products are now pulled from the shelf.
from the article (cited below):
The Food & Drug Administration's ban on ephedra, set for Apr. 12, comes after 16,000 adverse-event reports and a government-commissioned study that linked the adrenaline-like stimulant to heart attack, stroke and death. For years pillmakers argued their products were perfectly safe if used properly.
Ephedra's fate changed with the death of Baltimore Oriole pitcher Steven Bechler. The 23-year-old fell ill during spring training in February 2003 and died of complications from heatstroke the next morning, leaving a pregnant wife.

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.
1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.
2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.
3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.
These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.
