Original brand name diet pills with ephedra that used to be so popular are no longer available and have not been since 2004 when the FDA made ephedra illegal. This has not stopped the interest or popularity of these ephedra products as shown by the number of searches each month for them.

Ephedra Info: If a fat burner label tries to tell you that any other type of ephedra, other than ephedra sinica, is the right kind then don't believe them.

If you are trying to find original brand ephedra products that were so wildly popular for weight loss, you will not find these brands anymore. The companies and brands that are still around have reformulated their products and they no longer contain ephedra.

Fat Loss Fact: A recent study showed that when you lose 10% of your bodyweight, your metabolism drops by 15%, making it harder to lose more weight. Ephedra can keep your metabolism raised.

Are you familiar with the following brands of ephedra fat burners? Stacker 2 with ephedra, Stacker 3 with ephedra, Metabolife 356, Xenadrine RFA-1 or Hydroxycut with ephedra. Well, they are no longer available, since ephedra was banned way back in 2004.

So which would you choose? A $60 weight loss drug that requires a prescription or a $20 herbal you could get anywhere at anytime and would do the same job or an even better job at helping you to lose weight. Of course you would choose the cheap $20 ephedra diet pill. That was why ephedra was run out of town on a rail by the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA.

Fat Loss Fact: Muscle is the best fat and calorie burner. Ephedra preserves muscle which is why bodybuilders loved ephedra.

The FDA and pharmaceutical companies never were going to allow the cheap alternative of ephedra to stay around. So they created a campaign to demonize the herb and make it look dangerous and deadly.

When people take herbal ephedra or diet pills with ephedra they can quickly come to realize whether they like the effects or not. If you don't like the side effects then you stop taking it. But millions of people loved the weight loss they obtained from using it.

Weight Loss Tip: No matter how you achieve it, total calorie reduction should be your goal. Whether you diet, exercise or both together, it is not so important as what you do or how you get to the goal but that you reduce calories altogether in some fashion.
