What I meant was you have to buy it from illegal sources. And it's damn illegal to sell pretty much everywhere.

GorillaJack.com is a legal and trusted source. Plus their prices are excellent.

They sell the Kaizen brand which is very good.

Interesting. Legal in what country?

You don't seem to understand the argument you are fighting or are simply trolling now.

Ephedrine is no illegal to use or buy for Americans. It's illegal to sell it over the counter in the USA. There is nothing illegal about sourcing it from Canada or any other country with fair-trade agreements with the USA.

Yea, everyone who doesn't understand you is a troll.

I missed the post where you mentioned the shop in question was located in Canada (where, according to Wikipedia as I now see, it's legal to even sell it).

Based on your avatar and repeating the same issue several times now once it was stated otherwise made me think you were just trolling.

Technically, it is still legal in the USA for sale for respiratory problems as long as they get your info and track your purchases.

Most stores do not want to deal with this especially that the laws fall under the Patriot Act.

There are quite a few things our government took liberty to flex the Patriot Act on.

What have you all heard about CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)?

I was suggested it by a couple friends (granted, one works at GNC) and I have been taking 3g a day for about a month now.

I definitely have lost some jiggle and my last few problem pounds are disappearing, but this is all at the same time as I really intensified my fitness plan.

The online info I have read sounds promising, but that is kind of all the information I can find.

Any experience with this supp?

Better to just zero carb when you want to lose some quick fat. I have an inability to gain weight if I don't eat carbohydrates... say I make a turkey or eat some precooked rotisserie chickens. Carbs cause weight gain. Period.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but there is no such thing as quickly losing (any) fat, period.

The best way to lose weight is through a balanced diet and exercise, but sure , that requires hard work. If you're lazy or don't have willpower, there are other ways of course..diet pills, surgery etc. It's just that they aren't the best way to lose weight and definitely come with potential risks.

It's fair to say using other methods does not ALWAYS mean you're lazy or lack willpower or whatever, though.

Depends on how quickly. I switched to an all protein (eggs) breakfast and dropped 20 lbs in the past year and that's without working out. I lost 10 lbs really quickly (first month or so) cutting out the carbs in the morning, yet I eat a decent of amount of carbs for lunch.

Back in the day, I can attest to the E/C/A stack. I don't mess with it nowadays since I look great but it was highly effective in amping up my energy levels for workouts. Also keep in mind that caffeine and ephedra are two of the only beta blockers of fat in the body which is why it's so dam effective.

If you were really FAT, then pretty much any change in diet for the better is likely to give significant results in the beginning

Absolutely.
Just like using steroids means one is lazy to work out and wants muscle without working for them, eh?

I am not buying a 10lb loss in the first month and then taking another 11 to lose the other 10lbs.

It doesn't add up.

You don't need any diet pills if you don't eat junk and drink soda.

p.s. just wanted to restart this old topic.
Let's keep talking.

There is no magic pill that will make you *poof* lose weight. It takes a healthy, balanced diet AND sweat/exercise.
Agreed with your point. You have to go through from some exercise and diet plan if you want to lose weight.

There are pills that are pretty effective at curbing appetite. I don't think the thermogenic effect is that significant. The best ones would be whatever the closest you can get to legal amphetamine is though. Meth heads get really skinny mostly because the meth makes them never want to eat, not because the meth causes them to burn more calories, though I'm sure it does that as well. I'm sure no one here wants those kinds of extreme results, but they do serve as a proof of concept that drugs can cause weight loss lol.

This isn't true at all. While they don't do all the work for you, I've taken a few that have greatly improved my cutting success. a simple e/c stack can help and increase energy levels but
http://www.wordsiseek.com/10-harmful-side-effects-of-diet-pills/
works wonders, not sure why it's listed under women but it doesn't really matter.

With that said, I wouldn't take anything for very long, a few weeks maybe a month to help get a cut finished. If you're trying to take the way route and not change your diet, nothing will help you lose the weight you want to lose. And by change your diet I don't mean 'go on a diet' but change what you eat and how you eat for as long as you want to maintain the weight loss.

What is the best diet pill so far which is safe in terms of side effects?

Qsymia is a combination of topiramate and phentermine (of the now infamous and sometimes fatal fen-phen diet). It's FDA approved and supposed to be effective. It comes in 3 or 4 different dosages so you should start at the lowest to see how the drugs affect you. Some people have bad reactions to one or both of those meds.

Titrate up 7 days at a time to make sure you don't have any adverse side effects and if you're taking other meds always check for drug interactions. The one at drugs.com is very good. Maybe too good since it gives you every possible interaction including many nutritional supplements but it does also tell you the severity level so you can get a handle on the priority - https://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html

I heard a lot of horror regarding that Qsymia. As for me, the best way to lose weight is the right diet. When diet does not work, medicine is of no use. Also you can try the right effective best meal replacement diet shakes for weight loss 2018
