That was another benefit of the ephedra, I stopped the low blood pressure business. I would like to cut out carbs, but Im limited to what the cook decides to dish out for the main meal of the day. I handcycled 40 miles this month to try and counter a bad diet, lol.

That's what I would be apprehensive about. I'm trying to lose my belly and the only thing that ever seems to work is low-carb diet. I have the same issue with my belly pressing down my bladder and causing issues. I use an abdominal binder so what even makes it worse. I been doing very moderate dieting over the last week or so and haven't really lost too much, but I'm going to be a little more aggressive in the coming weeks. If I lose about 5 pounds I will feel considerably better.

What really messed me up is after all my working out, lifting, wheeling and biking I developed a spinal syrinx then my appendix burst, then got a hernia. I believe that all those issues can be linked to my vigorous workouts. At the same time though when I went down in the hospital, I was able to come back because of the good shape I was in. I still take one ripped fuel capsule w/ephedra b4 a I handcycle or wheel. You can take it without working out, but it makes you a little jumpy sometimes. you have to buy it from a special website called neutri I believe, but I will get you the actual website. some people are scared of ephedra, but it is like anything else......if you take six capsules at once you will have a problem. They have another pill called a yellow devil which is more ephedra, but I wouldn't suggest that. >> >> >>ron >> >> >> >>On Saturday, August 2, 2014 11:58 AM, Larry Willis <[email protected]> >>wrote: >> >> >> >> >>Hey Ron, tell me about the ephedra for weight loss.
