I have to take a UA early next week for a job. I have been using Ripped Fuel metabolic enhancer that is Ephedra free for working out. Would the ingredients in that dietary supplement cause me to have a dirty UA?

Hi,\nI've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. Ephedrine diet pills are really dangerous, stay away from them. However, I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php  . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

Doesn't creatine naturally occur in our bodies when we eat lots of meat? I think that's correct, and if it is, then the FDA doesn't need to approve it and it obviously safe.\n\nDo a search for it... make sure.

Lipo-6 has worked well for me but gives me the jitters if I take the recommended dosage.  Just be careful while you take metabolic enhancers as they can be detrimental in the long-term.  Take them for a short cycle only, ensure you exercise after you take them and listen to your body and closely monitor any symptoms whether you feel they are positive or negative.

Try Lipo 6 by Nutrex. It works for women and most likely won't make u feel sick and nauseated. I used it for 30 days with no exercise and just cleaning up my diet and I lost 10 lbs. I'm sure the weight loss was due to my diet change but it really helped me feel more energized in the morning.\n\nI honestly think there are other ways instead of taking diet pills.\nYou should drink green tea extract in the morning (thermogenic) and 45 minutes before your workout and just take CLA (conjugated Lineoleic (sp?) acid) after every meal. CLA helps support body fat loss and has many more health benefits. Taking  a multivitamin and drinking A LOT of water will benefit you so muhc also.

I'm very cautious about taking supplements for the same reason you are.  I always do as much research as I can before taking anything to make sure I know about all of the possible supplements.  Right now the only supplements I am taking are all considered food supplements, creatine being one of them.\n\nCreatine is produced naturally in your body, as well as acquired when you eat meat.  It is converted into phosphocreatine and then used to replenish ATP stores after they are used for energy.  By taking creatine supplementation you can increase your creatine stores and thus increase your workout capacity.\n\nCreatine is also known to cause cell volumization, as it causes the muscles to hold more water. Note that this is different the water retention, as water retention is when water is retained on the outside of the cells, causing the muscles to lose definition and look smoother. Cell volumization pulls the water into the cells and causes the muscles to look harder.  There are also studies that have come to light recently that show that cell volumization can make protein synthesis more productive. In theory this could mean that creatine could directly help you build muscle, but more research needs to be done to prove this effect.\n\nCreatine is also a very safe substance to supplement. While there are rumors of some side effects, such as muscle cramping, kidney problems, etc, no studies have actually proved these to be actual risks. One possible risk is the down regulation of the creatine transporters due to oversupplementation, but if you follow the recommended guidelines you shouldn't have to worry about that effect. To be safe you should actually take less creatine than most manufacturers recommend, though. Studies have shown that your body can absorb a lot less than most companies suggest you take anyway. They have found that your body is unable to absorb more than 3-5 grams of creatine per day after you have finished loading. To top that off, after working out you are capable of absorbing up to 10% more than your normal maximum capacitiy. They estamate that you only use 3% of your creatine stores when you don't work out. That means that if you are fully loaded and then take creatine after working out you will have more creatine than you body can obsorb for the next 3-4 days or until you work out again. Bottom line: after loading it is only necessary to take creatine after working out. I only take about 5 grams after I work out to replenish the creatine I have used.

whats wrong with caffine?  Caffine is a fat burner but the appetite suppressant is a plant extract called hoodia.  A fat burner there are different kinds like a thyroid or a thermal suppliment.  This is what I use its a thermogenic to boost metabolism and reduces the effects of stress and fatigue.  Its got some other scientific mumble jumble crap too it was rated number one in a fitness magazine by consumers as well.  http://www.prosource.net/product.jsp?path=-1|6430&id=12148  Looking to lose weight i suggest eating clean foods and cardio 30-45min 3-4 times a week.  Don't expect to just take pills for a little bit to do all the work.

I have actually thought quite a bit about this.  I have come to believe that water is best before and after exercising as you are using it to keep yourself hydrated, and not for "energy".  I use Gatorade during the actual exercise to keep me hydrated AND keep my energy level at as close to peak as possible.  \n\nHave fun with your project.

Yes, it can work well if you follow the dosage requirements and take it on an empty stomach in the morning followed by cardio. I took it sporadically for years with excellent results. However, these days there are several other products out there which are outshining Hydroxycut such as Lipo 6, hotrox, xenadrine to name a few. \n\nThey're not for everyone. Many can't handle any metabolic enhancers due to increased irritability and jitters. Please try a sample before you buy a whole bottle.

Yes, I took it for years and I recommend you stay away from it.  It works but it's addictive and deadly.  It's banned for a reason and the risks largely outweigh the benefits.  Ephedra acts to vasoconstrict your blood vessels and can be hazardous to anybody's health. It has caused heart attacks and high blood pressure and has lead to bleeding in the brain in young fit people and even athletes. \n\nHere's a worthy link for your review:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/ephedra_debate.shtml

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

Is it still available in USA?\nI know that ephedra for weight loss was withdrawn from the markets few years ago.

Creatine companies can trick you, so be careful! I read an article that showed a very inexpensive brand of Creatine that advertised, "100% pure Creatine Monohydrate".  When the powder was analyzed it only contained a small amount of creatine. The way they got away with this, was that the little amount of Creatine that was in the supplement was 100% pure. Notice that it didn't say, "Contents are 100% Creatine Monohydrate". It only said that is was "100% pure"! You have to be careful with the wording, because to my knowledge there are still some companies that do this!! Research, and buy a brand that weightlifters are using, and rating very high!! It is gonna cost you a little more, but don't take a chance!! \n\nAlso be sure that if you buy a supplement with other ingredients, that you read the exact amount of creatine that it contains. I don't recommend doing this at all. By pure Creatine Monohydrate and mix it with something like protein powder and other supplements, to create your own drink. Get the powder version of at least 80% creatine and mix. Otherwise you will be duped, and really be disappointed.

It is a MLM company and also a pyramid scheme. There were some negative report about its ingredients. My friend started having health problems after taking their products. However, you need to do more research to tell. Because I am in the MLM business as well, I don't mean to discredit other companies in the industry. Before I take a supplement for a long time and in considerable dosage, I pay the lab for a report.

It is an excellent product but is only useful for high intensity training (or game day).  Best used with other precursors of anaerobic ATP production

Fat burners, weight loss aids, etc... are inneffective in the long run, and not a healthy way to lose weight.  Although, the best by far on the market were the ephedra/caffeine supplements because they were very effective in the short term.  What has worked for me is consistent exercise, eating more SENSIBLY (I don't do diets), and watching your portion sizes.  There are supplements that can help you along in you weight loss endeavors, like ones that can curb your appetite, but if you're serious about losing weight, a little help from these type of supplements make a huge difference.  Look for a GOOD form of Hoodia or Slimaluma.
