It is spelt ephidrine and is a serious drug that has been used as stimulant and weight loss tablet. Check out the link below, particularly the "adverse effects" section before you consider using it.

Wouldn't like to guess what you mean, there is nothing with that spelling. However I am happy to generalise about so called weight loss products.
Firstly nearly 20% of all Answers Health questions are about weight loss.
Secondly if you put weight loss guaranteed into google you get 1.25 million sites.
Thirdly 90% of people who want to loose weight want to do it without getting off the couch! Which of course is not going to happen.
Finally In the few weeks I have been answering 'Health Answers' I have had my eyes really opened. I had no idea that such a high percentage of the population are so naive as to believe in the myths, potty patent medicines,illegal drugs,illegally purchased prescription only drugs, charlatans and just plain crooks, purporting or pretending that they can fix them.

Ephedrine is used in many cold-cure remedies as it constricts blood vessels including the ones in your nose. This reduces the swelling in the nasal passages and allows easier breathing.
It has a similar effect on the body as speed/whizz/amphetamines, which is why it is a banned substance in sport.
A side effect is reduced appetite, so yes it will eventually cause weight loss. However, it may also causes dizzyness, headaches, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, insomnia (inability to sleep), anxiety and psychotic symptoms so PLEASE don't start using it to lose weight.

You don’t need to exercise for long periods of time. Short, sharp sets of exercise will produce better results when you work hard. Get a skipping rope, skip for two a few minutes, do push ups for 1 minute, skip for two minutes, rest for starters minute. Then change the push up to something else like sit ups as well as do the set again. Repeat it five times and it’s a simple, effective workout that will progress results than a long manage or swim.

you mean ephedrine ... it's originally used to treat asthma I think but I know people that take it for weight loss. It is banned in the UK. It can be used by athletes and body builders to gain performance.

Music making you eat more. According to research by the journal Psychology and Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage someone to take time over your dinner, so you consume more foods. So, switch off – silence will make you more aware of what you’re investing in your mouth.

Set performance-based goals. Always set yourself incrementally larger goals each week to make certain you’re engaged and have something to shoot for. Each little achievement is also a reward that you’re going in the best direction. From doing 10 more squats to mastering a brand new yoga pose, whatever floats the boat.

Keep a food diary. Seeing every morsel of food you’ve eaten within a day written down can help you to see where you’re overdoing that, or reveal patterns or triggers to bad ways of eating.

It’s not really weight-loss, it’s health-gain. Think about your changes as a way to gain things, not lose all of them.
