How much ephedra should I take?

Question

i bought some diet aid pills, and it says on the bottle to take 3 a day, each caplet contains 25 mg. i dont see how i should take all 3 and some huge guy should take 3 too. Does anyone know the correct doseage?
(and please, I've made my decision about them , so i dont need anyone to tell me not to take them, i want to take them safely and correctly hence why I'm asking the question, thanks)

Thank you!!!

Answer 1

The proper dose is one 20-25 mg tablet 3 times a day. A good way to start is by taking one tablet in the morning per day for a couple of days. If you dont get too jumpy you can go to 2 per day and then 3. As long as you drink plenty of water and dont exercise in high temperatures you should have no problems.

Answer 2

What diet pills are you taking?? When ephdra was in metabolife I took 2 pills in the morning, 1 pill mid, 2 pills at dinner time. I lost 60 pounds in 3 months. Good luck.

Answer 3

I used ephedra years ago right before they took it off the market. I can't remember how much because it was so long ago but I do remember the results which were great along with heavy cardio. I not long lost weight but the fat seemed to just melt off with exercise. Best of luck.

Keep in mind the following when dieting:

Diets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

If you have to take them, start with one in the morning AFTER you eat a good breakfast, and stay hydrated. They get you going pretty good, but boy! they can be dangerous. Be careful.

There is no safe way to take ephedra.
