Losing Weight with a Low Carbohydrate Diet and the ECA Stack

Assuming you know about ephedrine and the ECA stack then you might be looking for a diet plan to follow. When people ask me how to lose weight I usually recommend a low carbohydrate diet in combination with an ECA stack. This is of course assuming they are in good health and educated about ephedrine hcl and how to lose weight in general. Low carbohydrate diets have been pigeonholed in recent years as “Atkins”. The Atkins diet is low carb yes but it’s a lazy mans low carbohydrate diet in my opinion. There are multiple ways to go about low carb dieting including using the glycemic index. The glycemic index help you focus on staying away from “bad carbs” and utilize “good carbs” as part of your diet. I want to focus primarily on how to lose weight fast and ensure that when losing weight you are burning as high a percentage of fat as possible. With this in mind I’m going to ask you to cut back carbohydrates to an absolute minimum and consume most of your calories from protein sources. 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight should be consumed daily. High consumption of protein and healthy fats will help your body hang onto muscle and optimize fat loss. Hard core low carb diets usually fall under the “ketogenic” category and are best for fast fat loss but many people have trouble keeping the fat off after they finish the diet. The good news is that in combination with an ECA stack you can protect yourself from muscle loss even more. Some studies show that pure ephedrine use aids in protecting muscle during rapid weight loss. Ephedrine hcl will also help suppress your appetite which will come in handy during carb cravings and also give you an energy boost. The energy the ECA stack provides you with is a welcome positive during a low carb diet because low carb dieters tend to experience a low energy carb fog in the beginning of their diet cycle. Gaining back the weight can be avoided if you educate yourself on how to properly eat in the weeks following the end of your ketogenic diet cycle. Not all low carb diets are ultra low in carbs however. Lean body mass is your weight minus the best estimation of how much weight you carry in fat and water. In other words your lean body weight is the sum weight of your bones, organs, and muscle. An important point to drive home when talking about how to lose weight is that your body fat percentage is much more important than your total weight. Someone can be 5’10 225 pounds and be obese according to Body Mass Index but if the person is an Olympic power lifter than chances are his body fat percentage is low enough to show that he is in fine shape.

The ECA Stack and Me | Beginning me Journey to Quick Weight Loss

The first question many people ask me is how I got started using the ECA stack. In 2005 I quit playing college football and was desperately trying to achieve quick weight loss. I had been an offensive tackle measuring in at 6’3 and 275 pounds. I was no stranger to the weight room and conditioning so I had this part of losing weight quickly under control. The hard part was getting my diet in order because that is ultimately the most important element in achieving quick weight loss. Once my diet was in place I was still not happy with my results so I started to look around for weight loss pills. Like many people I was suckered into the unregulated world of weight loss pills quickly and ended up being suckered into buying some poor products. Not that their aren’t some very good weight loss pills still on the market but the majority are next to worthless if your looking for quick weight loss.

After learning the hard way about weight loss pills I turned to online bodybuilding forums and read about the ECA stack. I had heard of ephedrine diet pills before but this was after they had been regulated by the Food and Drug Administration here in the United States. Ephedrine diet pills had been receiving negative attention in the media so I was hesitant to buy into the hype when I first started reading about the ECA stack. The bodybuilding forums introduced me to ephedrine hcl and helped me understand how this over the counter nasal decongestant was simply a purified form of the ephedra found in many of the well thought of weight loss pills before the FDA ban. I was impressed with how many people were using the ECA stack and achieving quick weight loss with it. Even more impressive was how people were assembling their own ECA stacks by purchasing ephedrine hcl, caffeine, and aspirin online or at convenience/drug stores. My fears of ephedrine diet pills were alleviated after realizing that many of the unfortunate accidents stemming from its use could have been easily avoided by being aware of ones bill of health and educating oneself on how to use the drug in a safe manner.

After determining that I was healthy enough to take the ECA stack and researching proper dosing; I went out to the nearest gas station and actually found ephedrine hcl for sale. After purchasing my first pack of ephedrine tablets I went to the Vitamin Shoppe and purchased 200mg caffeine pills. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to buy the ECA stack. I opted out of using the aspirin after reading that it did little to enhance fat loss. Even though I don’t personally use aspirin, I still refer to it as the ECA stack because it is the most commonly used term to describe an ephedrine based weight loss stack. I have left weight loss pills in the dust and have been using the ECA stack on and off to achieve quick weight loss ever since. I could not be happier with the results I have seen with the ECA stack and now buy my ephedrine tablets from Walgreens without even taking a glance at the weight loss pills they sell!

Putting Together the ECA Stack

Assuming you have done the proper research on ephedrine for weight loss and made sure you are in the proper physical condition to use an ECA stack it is time to put it together. Ephedrine HCL is the type of ephedrine you will be using in you ECA stack if you live in the United States or any other area that has regulated the use of ephedrine for weight loss. Ephedrine HCL can be found at drug stores like Walgreens as well as online. Since ephedrine diet pills have been banned in the United States many bodybuilders and supplement gurus have turned to creating their own ECA stack for weight loss. Popular brands of ephedrine HCL include Vasopro, Bolt, and Primatene. These brands of ephedrine can be purchased online through a quick Google search. You will find that these ephedrine products also contain guaifinesin. This is an added ingredient that helps with the nasal decongestant properties of this type of ephedrine. It will not hamper the weight loss effects. Typically ephedrine HCL comes in doses of 12.5mg, 25mg, or 30mg. For ephedrine weight loss 25mg is recommended.

Once you have gotten your ephedrine you will also want to purchase caffeine and aspirine to complete your ECA stack. The aspirin is an optional addition and does not contribute to the weight loss properties of the ECA stack. The ephedrine and caffeine are essential for the weight loss effects however. Caffeine for your ECA stack can be purchased from stores like Vitamin Shoppe, drug stores, or over the internet. Using pure caffeine pills is recommended but ephedrine free diet pills like Stacker can be used in conjunction with ephedrine hcl and make a very effective ECA stack.
