Having said in a previous post that NutraCave was heavily promoting this new product, Dendrobium 600, I had a confirmation when I saw the 50% off

In fact the main surprise has been to see that NutraCave was presenting Dendrobium as a replacement for Ephedrine!

To be honest I had no time to investigate about this Dendrobium 600: these last days have been quite busy. Is it safe? Is it effective? Do we have reliable information (medical studies)? If you have such information, please share it with us! A link in the comments below would be very nice, as well as your feedback about weight loss effects if you have tried this product.

Thanks!

First, EphedrineForSale

At the end of 2012 the famous Canadian website EphedrineForSale has been the first to run into several issues and had to stop shipping ephedrine to the USA. By the way I am still receiving many private messages asking for information but for several reasons it is not something that I want to post here, so just email me or subscribe to the newsletter at the top right of all pages on the site and I will get back to you.

Second, NutraCave

A few months later, another Canadian company, NutraCave (formerly EphedrineOnline), has become out of stock regarding ephedrine, thus depriving a lot of American customers of Kaizen Ephedrine HCL considered as the best pharma grade ephedrine since years. We already had to update our recommendation of the best places to buy ephedrine HCL, by introducing good alternatives such as Ephedrine Plus from WorldClassNutrition and ephedra alkaloids products from EphedraWarehouse. Meanwhile NutraCave has been heavily promoting a new product called DENDROBIUM 600:

Please help! If you have already tested this product, from NutraCave or from any other source, it would be great to hear from you as I am receiving a lot of questions that I cannot answer right now, your feedback would be very appreciated! Meanwhile I will ask my network (friends, chemists, doctors) to tell me more about it.

And now FemNutrition has closed

Another veteran seller of dietary supplements has closed down: FemNutrition! The website is still online but only for informational purpose, no more for selling our preferred products for weight loss. Here is their message if you didn’t see it until now:

It’s a pity and we are really sad about these news because FemNutrition was doing a great job: founded in 2003, they always took the defense of ephedra and ephedrine when it was so controversial, they had two shopping and informational websites, one for women (FemNutrition.com) and one for bodybuilders (BodyBuildingFactory.com), covering topics such as supplements and ephedrine first but also general information about health and nutrition. They were based in Englewood, Colorado, and they have significantly developed their business  for good reasons:

• Over 2,500 products, most of them in stock:

• Top customer service: they have the BBB Accredited Business since 2006. As said in our detailed review of their site, their online business was run through Yahoo and their testimonials were real ones, not fake ones sent by family and friends We were even suggesting you to try if you want, and from the real customer feedback they got you can see that their were delivering a good service.

• Cost effective shipping due to 8 local warehouses as you can see here:

They have even tried to launch their own brand of quality supplements, SupplementIQ, and maybe this strategic decision could have been the starting point of their problems: apparently it has put them in FDA’s sights and the pressure and costs linked to the cGMPs requirements were so high that FemNutrition had no other choice than closing their doors. Quoting M. Levine, the President of Athletic Ventures owning FemNutrition.com and BodyBuildingFactory.com: << …there’s no winning the fight with FDA…>>

Maybe some of you remember a few products special designed for FemNutrition: Ephedra5, Hoodia Pure and also a good range of pre-mixed Ephedrine-Caffeine products (EC stacks in short).

All team members will join me for sure to say thanks and goodbye to FemNutrition and of course all the best for their new venture! Our list of the best shops where to buy ephedrine is getting shorter but fortunately we still have a choice, even for purchases in the USA.

I have received two nice pictures of ephedra plants and I take this opportunity to say some words about ephedra: we speak a lot of ephedrine HCL, the synthetic form of ephedrine that is made in laboratory and we sometimes forget about the natural form that grows in so many places and countries, the so-called Ma Huang and here in the following pictures, a member of the Ephedraceae herbs called Ephedra Distachya, the other name of Ephedra Vulgaris. This variety is famous for its high level of ephedrine alkaloids but you would have to spend a lot of time to extract these alkaloids by yourself If you are not afraid of this challenge, go ahead, the extraction process works basically like making tea; Mormons have understood the benefits of this plant and they have been early fans of the physiological effects of ephedrine (energy level, metabolism, appetite reduction, fat burning), in such an extend that ephedra or Ma Huang is also known as Mormon Tea.

Ephedra Herbs Are Not Banned

There is also a point worth mentioning: the herbal form of ephedra has not been banned by the FDA, it is totally legal to buy ephedra herbs in the USA, in any quantity: if you do your own decoction instead of buying ephedra diet pills for your weight loss program, no one can object, it is your right to do so. It is even legal to grow your own ephedra for personal use.

Greedy People

A few days ago I saw a page online about ephedra products that upset me a bit, it was this kind of site that has only one purpose, which is to make you buy products sold by websites owned by the same persons or companies. I have found many wrong information there, for instance they try to convince you that only ephedrine HCL is effective for weight loss, not ephedra products. You know it’s not true: the powerful fat burning effects that we mention frequently come from these alkaloids that you find in ephedrine HCL and also in ephedra plants that naturally contains these alkaloids. Just keep in mind that behind these different names, there is only one active principle or chemical component that confers the characteristic weight loss action: it is this special alkaloid called ephedrine.
In other words, you get the same effects from ephedrine HCL than from ephedra-based products if you have the same quantity of ephedrine alkaloids in both cases.

Bad Intention, Bad Information

The other point that bothered me was that this site was saying that the FDA had banned the weight loss supplements based on ephedra plants due to dangerous additional chemical compounds found in these plants! And also that ephedrine HCL was not as dangerous as herbal ephedra. Come on… All serious people know that the FDA was targeting ephedra (ephedrine) specifically. The controversy came from the fact that the FDA justified this decision by safety concerns when ephedrine has been proved safe and effective by most medical studies. Who doesn’t know today that the real reason of the ban had to do with drugs control, ephedrine being a precursor of methamphetamine?  Other point, why would ephedrine HCL be less dangerous than herbal ephedra? Based on what? They have the same side effects. People who publish such information are not serious, they have no medical background, they just want you to buy ephedrine HCL and only that, not herbal ephedra or pills containing ephedra alkaloids.

Trust Their Disclaimer Only

That’s it, I know I talk too much when I am upset. In a nutshell: don’t trust all information found online, these guys want your money, that’s all. To be polite in most cases they have no idea about their selling topics, they just copy and paste information from serious sites. Just an example: they say that “additional chemical compounds” are dangerous, well then, please name these compounds and give scientific evidence that they are dangerous! What makes me laugh also (so to say) is that they pretend to have some scientific authority by adding one or two references at the end of their pages: just have a look, in most cases these references have nothing to do with the main topic of the page! If you want to see a real serious work on medical references, done by doctors, just have a look at our page about coffee or our article about the methodology of medical studies. Ask a doctor what he thinks about it, you will see what site is trustworthy or what other is not. The best page on all these misleading sites is their disclaimer! Often the same one, copied over and over I can resist the pleasure to quote them: “All content of EphedrineForIdiots is just an opinion and not advice and should not be taken as advice”. Don’t tell me

Finally The Nice Pictures

OK now, here are the nice pictures of Ephedra Distachya I wanted to share with you:

Take care and again, use your common sense when browsing the web because some people out there think that you are just a stupid buyer. Ephedrine HCL or ephedra alkaloids, no difference in terms of weight loss, just make sure that you buy it from the right places.

I would like to complete now this information with another possibility to legally get ephedrine HCL in the USA, and maybe this will bring tears to some old guys here, when I will mention the name of this famous product: Vasopro! Many of you remember the good old days when you could buy Vasopro in any gas station Well, the good news are that with similar products you can get the same ephedrine HCL you loved so much with Vasopro. These products are manufactured by DMD Pharmaceuticals®. Be very careful because it is quite tricky to identify the right products with such names:

EPHED® Tablets is OK as it contains Ephedrine HCL and Guaifenesin.

EPHED Plus® should not be chosen if the two others are available: it is based on pseudoephedrine instead of ephedrine HCL.

Ephedrine Plus® is a good choice because the main ingredient is ephedrine HCL, the second one being Guaifenesin. The highest formulation (25mg ephedrine hydrochloride per tablet) is usually out of stock but the 12.5mg tablets are still available online.

These products are sold legally in the USA because they include an ingredient that makes it impossible to turn into meth. And this extra ingredient is not exactly designed for weight loss, but for asthma treatment. In fact Ephed and Ephedrine Plus add 200mg of Guaifenesin to ephedrine HCL, let’s see that in detail now.

What is Guaifenesin?

Basically, guaifenesin is an expectorant acting on the volume and viscosity of secretions in the trachea and bronchi, it helps remove secretions. It has bronchodilating effects by loosening the mucus and thinning the bronchial secretions for those wheezing from bronchial asthma, have shortness of breath issues, and tightness felt in the chest cavity.

Is Guaifenesin Safe?

Well, there are possible side effects, some mild such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some severe such as the formation of kidney stones. The adverse effects are not frequent but they might happen so you’d better know it before making your decision.

Pure Ephedrine HCL or Ephedrine HCL plus Guaifenesin?

To be honest we have different opinions in the team about this point. Two of us are not great fans of such mixed products (ephedrine plus guaifenesin) due to the above mentioned side effects. The strict point of view is: don’t compromise on quality if you have the possibility to get pure pharma grade ephedrine HCL! Guaifenesin will not help for weight loss, increased energy or muscle strength.
The rest of the team is not so strict and don’t really mind about guaifenesin, saying that it’s better to have 200mg guaifenesin added to ephedrine HCL than no ephedrine hydrochloride at all… Do we know people who took Ephedrine Plus 12.5mg or 25mg? Yes, a lot of them. Did they experience adverse effects? No. Does it mean that you will not experience side effects? No, but it is highly unlikely. Hence their recommendation: if you don’t find pure ephedrine HCL, if you live in the USA and your state allows purchases of Ephedrine Plus, it’s a very good choice to buy it online from WorldClassNutrition.

Where To Buy Ephedrine Plus?

- Click on this picture of Ephedrine Plus to jump to WorldClassNutrition.

- If you live in the USA, check if your state is in the blue list! If not, have a look at this other post about pure ephedrine hydrochloride.

- You will have to send a copy of your driving license, just follow the indications on the site.

- Don’t forget to use these coupon codes offered by WorldClassNutrition: Save 10% On All Orders Over $100, $4.99 Flat Rate Shipping, Buy 2 Get Free Ground Shipping

Conclusion

Vasopro… if this is not nostalgia Anyway… Again, these years are gone and the good point is that we have new alternatives with Ephedrine Plus which provides the same quality of ephedrine HCL. If you have the possibility to buy it online, do it while it is still available. Your next weight loss program might well be the last one with our support and this extra bonus called ephedrine

In my next post I will come back to running because I love it and I am so honest that I will twist my own arm and try to help you exercising even if you don’t want to run! despite all my efforts to convince you in my previous posts such as Move More, You Say You Can’t Run, Run at Lunchtime, 12 Tips For A Happy Running etc…

Take for instance one of the best shops we had for shipping pure Kaizen Ephedrine HCL from Canada to the United States: EphedrineForSale. For years they have been one of the main Canadian source to the USA. They had to stop recently and if you got our private messages you know what happened and why. I will not develop here because it won’t change the facts: ephedra-based products are under high pressure and consequently you can’t tell how long they will be available online. That’s why I decided to do a kind of refresher about Ephedrine HCL while you can still get it online, before it becomes History and finds a decent place in the Museum of The Best Fat Burning Pills Ever

What is Ephedrine HCL?

I guess that you are already familiar with our preferred alkaloid, if not have a look at this page. OK, HCL now: what is it exactly? Just an abbreviation for hydrochloride. To keep it easy, HCL is the synthetic form, it is not alkaloids extracted from ephedra plants but a pure chemical form of the alkaloid molecule produced in a laboratory.

Why is Ephedrine HCL so popular?

The big advantage is that it is a pure pharmaceutical grade which is controlled during manufacturing and tells you exactly what quantity of ephedrine you have per tab. No doubt about ephedra extract, about concentration of alkaloids, the hydrochloride form gives you the exact quantity of active substance that is written on the box and you can rely on that, no guess work from your side and thus no risk of wrong dosage, especially if you follow our day by day dosage of EC stacks, the safe one or the standard one.

Is it legal to buy Ephedrine HCL?

It was the first goal of this post and for us the most important point: sometimes we have the feeling that people are so scared that they act as if this good old Ma Huang was illegal: it is definitely not the case, selling and buying ephedrine is still perfectly legal in most countries, in the USA, in Canada, in most European countries and other countries in the world, of course under certain conditions and to be checked against local laws. Even in the USA where the pressure is high since the FDA ban and all the buzz around pseudoephedrine and methamphetamine, it is still legal to buy ephedrine for personal use such as allergy, flu or asthma treatment. In other words, it is legal to purchase it for hay fever, cold, flu, allergy, asthma and other bronchial conditions, if you have no intent to use it as a drug precursor to manufacture illicit substances. What is illegal for a company (production or distribution) is to promote it as diet pills for weight loss, including the hydrochloride form of course. So you will buy it as decongestant but please note that next to the bronchodilating effects you will most likely lose weight also, due to the synergistic effects on metabolism, energy level, fat mobilization and appetite reduction.

In our blog we have detailed all conditions that make it legal to purchase pseudoephedrine and ephedrine so please have a look at this post for the USA, this one for Canada and this one for Europe. In a nutshell: the legal quantity purchased per month and per person in the USA is legally limited to 9 grams if bought in a real store and to 7.5 grams per month if purchased online. Grams, not milligrams

Where can you buy ephedrine HCL today?

The second goal of this post is to help you get pure ephedrine HCL, sold by trustworthy people. OK, it’s not easy but still feasible, for how long we don’t know, but so far so good.

Recommendation n° 1: USA first, but also other countries

- click on the logo to jump to NutraCave, formerly EphedrineOnline:

- See the menu by brands on the left?

Click on Kaizen and pick up the best fat burner still sold online   if not out of stock!

- You can also use the search function on the top right of the screen, below Shopping Cart:

- or just click on these resealable pouches by the famous Canadian company, Kaizen:

Recommendation n° 2: all countries except USA

Century Supplements has a good place in our recommendation of the best selling sites and for good reasons: people trust them, they are reliable, they are based in UK and they can sell ephedrine HCL, in fact they are one of the last places online where you can find Kaizen products (click on the picture to go to this page). They also sell many ECA stacks and other ephedra diet pills, sometimes with high concentration of ephedra alkaloids, considered by many as the best possible fat burning pills. That was for the pros, now the cons: with Century Supplements, it’s all or nothing depending on your country! If they ship to your country, lucky you If not, just go to recommendation n°1.

Conclusion

It became a challenge to get ephedrine HCL online because it is more and more controlled and even if totally legal, people tend to be confused after all the buzz about these new bills. At least it’s worth the efforts: you will get the best possible fat burner that will push you in the right direction and start the virtuous circle of weight loss and better health.
As we always say, Knowledge is Key. Be informed, stay on the safe side of the Law and you will be able to buy this pure hydrochloride form in all legality, even in the USA.

In our next post we will think about the future and a possible Plan B: if it becomes really impossible to buy Ephedrine HCL online, we still have interesting alternatives.

Keep in touch and meanwhile, stay safe!

1. Buy Running Clothes

Even before starting, you can raise your motivation for the coming running sessions:
do yourself a favor and buy some real running clothes! We are very lucky today to find clothes that are very technical for every type of effort and weather and still cheap, due to the hard competition among manufacturers. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t need to spend a fortune on that, remember that the first mandatory purchase is for running shoes. The second purchase could be for synthetic socks, shorts, T-shirts etc… Feels good to start with a brand new equipment

2. Run at Work

Just refer to my last post, listing 10 benefits of running at lunchtime: in terms of time management you will transfer private time to your working day because in most cases you are stuck at work for lunch from Monday to Friday, so taking this opportunity to run at work will save you a lot of time and will come with substantial benefits, especially if your company has a wellness program. It is typically the kind of decision that people postpone when in fact it would improve so many things for them. So don’t be a loser and do it if you can. After a while, your only question will be: for Heaven’s Sake, why didn’t I start earlier ?!

3. Run with a Friend

Running with co-workers is the first step, then try to find a friend who wants to lose weight like you and run together! Many benefits: it will push you to go running because you have a commitment (it’s amazing how people who run together stick to their plan compared to people who decide to go or not at the last minute). You will share tips and motivation. Chances are high that your running buddy will soon become your weight loss buddy and from experience I know what great success factor it is.

4. Find a Running Club

Look for any running club or association close to your home: don’t be shy, they won’t bite or laugh at you The membership is not expensive (they have very low costs as you run outside) and you will have new friends, a coach and a lot of support, empathy, progress and results! What else?? Possibly a romance I am not kidding, many people have met in this way, you would be surprised. Anyway, the important goal is to hit the pavement and to lose weight, so again if you have any opportunity in your neighborhood, do it!

5. Run with Your Dog

Speaking about biting: do you have a dog? If yes, congratulations, you have the best running mate you could dream of: never tired, always happy, protecting you eventually. Your dog will probably do five to ten times your running distance, with all the sniffing and marking of territory, checking all strategic points where other dogs might have left a message just like you when you check your emails and your Facebook From my own experience I can tell you that running regularly with your dog will create amazing bonding moments. If I have five minutes I will try to find some nice pictures of such running mates, I am sure that people who love dogs are good people and that they will not sue me if I post a picture of them with their dog already available online

6. Get Outdoors.

With co-workers, with a friend or with club mates, always prefer to exercise outside compared to running on a treadmill. There are lots of reason for that: you will be in the fresh air, in the nature, you will see more things and people, you have more variety thus you will less bored compared to the treadmill where you feel like a guinea pig after five minutes. Last point: if you run with your dog for all the good reasons that I just mentioned, it might be hard for you and your dog to run on the same treadmill

7. Run First in the Morning

This is an important point in terms of results so I will detail a bit. If you have any chance to start your day with a jogging, take it! If you can even run on an empty stomach, you will increase the number of burned calories after 40 to 45 minutes. Let me explain in two words: if you stay below 70 percent of your maximum heart rate, you will not burn glycogen but start instead the so-called lipolysis mechanism that burns fat to get energy (to say it in the easiest way). After 45 minutes your body realizes that you have not eaten for many hours and you have a regular energy demand that doesn’t justify to burn some glycogen stored in your muscles, so your brain will make a choice affecting fat cells’  readiness to release and break down fat through the activation of hormones and neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine. Of course this lipolytic response (or fat breakdown if you prefer) works best for people who are able to run 45 minutes straight and if possible on an empty stomach. If it’s not yet your case, don’t worry: it will come, just keep the idea to run first in the morning each time you can and follow our exercise plans that will take you progressively to that level. On a personal note, this tip of running first in the morning on an empty stomach is probably the one that got me the best weight loss results and I am still practicing it regularly when I have a few pounds to shred. For instance during the festive season I’m not in the mood of counting calories or not drinking alcohol. So after a few weeks in the new Year I can feel a bit of burden around the hips, not to speak of a flat tire No problem, I can get rid of this fat excess quite easily: I just do what I recommend to all of you here I just do it with experience and years of practice so I go directly to the points that bring me the best results. And this tip is one of them: first in morning, empty stomach, patience, below 70 percent of your max heart rate or it’s totally useless because lipolysis won’t start! And running like that for 2 hours non stop I have a beautiful running route in the countryside that suits that program very well, it helps for motivation, avoiding boredom coming from repetition. As you can see, this method is easy and very cheap — you even skip breakfast! I am just kidding, skipping breakfast is a very poor idea, except for the special case of running on an empty stomach.

8. Leave Your Car at Home

Avoid driving by all means when you go running. If you have the chance to run as soon as you leave home without having to drive, you will have a huge advantage for these days where your motivation is low and your brain is looking for any fake excuse not to run. The decision process is much shorter because you have less things to plan if you don’t take your car, the time between decision to run and running itself  is dramatically reduced if you don’t have to drive. Even if you live in town, run from home to a better jogging route, for instance a nice park or close suburb with more trees and oxygen and less carbon monoxide and dioxide. If you have to chose between exercising in polluted air versus canceling your running entirely, several medical studies have proved that the better option is to go for the run and to find ways to reduce your exposure to car pollution. If you have the option of hopping on a treadmill on bad-air days, do it but don’t take your car, just run to the gym, it will be a good warm-up and you will reduce the air pollution of your city.

9. Lace Up!

Even if you don’t feel like going out, don’t think twice and just lace up your running shoes! Trust me: as all runners, you never regret the decision you made to go running, most of the time you regret when you decided not to go.

10. Get re-energized

Depending on how long you will run and if fresh water will be available on your route, bring a bottle of water and some fuel with you.

11. Build A Playlist

Running guys fall in two categories: those who can’t run without their Ipod, Iphone or any mp3 player. And those who can’t stand running with headphones If you are the first type, prepare your best “high energy running playlist”. Check out here for some ideas. Careful though: listening to music can be very distracting and wearing headphones makes you less aware of your surroundings, your are in your bubble, you can’t hear what is going on around you and this can be a serious risk factor for instance when your running route is crossing a busy road.

12. Patience and Regularity

Last advice: be patient, remember to start slow with walking and running intervals and then increase progressively the running part. Just stick to one of our three programs based on your physical condition. As we say frequently, all this fat didn’t appear overnight, don’t expect it to go away within days.

Conclusion

Seriously, you were not expecting a point 13, were you?
I hope that 12 tips are enough to decide you to go running with the best chances to get the maximum benefit for your weight loss and your global health. Honestly, if you consider my previous posts plus this one, what else could I do to convince you to run??
Maybe the last point is that you have a special bonus that makes things easier for you by boosting your energy level: if you get ephedrine, and ideally the HCL type from Kaizen, you will raise your metabolism and energy level, you will burn more fat, you won’t experience this huge fatigue that beginners all know when they “hit the wall” and as a consequence you will have better and quicker weight loss results. Ephedrine will be your key success factor as it has been for me and for all people I have helped. Just make sure that you read our pages about the potential adverse effects and also about the legal and safety aspects: you can purchase ephedrine legally in the USA, in Canada and many other countries but you have to respect some rules such as giving your ID and buying ephedrine under a legal quantity per month, depending on your state. Anyway all serious sellers will check these points for you if you live in the USA, just stick to our new recommendation. Have also a look at our page about EC stacks: I don’t recommend to start with E+C if you are not experienced yet but you can follow the safe dosage of ephedrine on this page and ignore caffeine at start. It’s okay, there is no rush, later you will be able to combine cardio training sessions with an EC stack and you will then be close to what I consider as the most effective method to get fit for the long run in a safe and legal way. Hmm, fit for the long run, how cool is that?

That’s all for now, stay tuned for the next post!

Mutual Benefits of Running at Work

If you have this opportunity, congratulations! It means that your company is cool and you have a win-win here with many benefits:

• You will make new connections at your job because running is team-building, it’s a great way to bond with co-workers.
• Running might even help your career through networking and building professional relationships: many business points are discussed between runners on the road.
• You will have a better image internally because of your willpower.
• You are jogging, it means to all that you take care of yourself, you do things that other people would like to do but don’t dare, in other words you’re a winner
• Important benefit: running at lunchtime is saving private time. It might even take a bit longer than the lunch hour, in that case you are supposed to find a compensation, for instance staying a bit longer. In fact, considering all previous points about your new image you will see that you have the sympathy of all people here and after a while, you will see that running a bit more is acceptable. Don’t get me wrong: I am not saying that you should steal time at work to run, I just say that jogging at lunchtime is saving personal time without cheating with your company. Remember that your employer is allowing it and even promoting it. All parties find a benefit as you can see in all objectivity in this list.
• As a result, you will transfer private time to the working day: during your lunch hour you are stuck at work anyway, so why not using this hour for your health instead of exercising after work. It is very useful to all here, but first to women: let’s be honest, we all know who is taking the big part at home and who has a “double day”.
• You will also train on a regular basis because everything is planned in advance, you have to prepare your clothes the day before or in the morning, so when it’s lunchtime and colleagues begin to gather, you don’t hesitate and you just do it. In other words, incorporating your running into your daily routine will markedly improve the regularity of your exercising.
• Your human resources department and your employer are cool because they promote health and allow you to run at work, be fair in return, ask the marketing guys to give you corporate T-shirts to promote your company outside
• During your jogging you can brainstorm new ideas or even have a kind of meeting on the run, rather than in a boring conference room.
• All lunchtime runners will tell you that jogging is a good way to break up the day, to lower stress and to get re-energized instead of that afternoon slump.

Conclusion

To sum it up, if you can run during lunchtime in your job, do it!
If you are just beginning, run with beginners and pick up our first exercising program here. Remember to get ephedrine before Day One and just follow our recommended safe dosage here (it is meant for an EC stack but you can ignore the caffeine for the moment and just follow the daily intake of ephedrine). Make sure to be aware of the risks before taking ephedra alkaloids or ephedrine HCL. Take your tabs preferably half an hour before running. Drink a lot of water before jogging and a bit during the run. Don’t neglect the warm up and slow down phases because you are with co-workers, or you will pay it with muscular soreness. Don’t forget your cushioning shoes at home and avoid the usual aches and pains that make people say they can’t run. You may also want to have some healthy snacks in your office: remember the first pillar of weight loss, Eat Less. As for all changes, the hard part is in the beginning, decision and then first step: do it! It might change your life.

Breaking News: WorldClassNutrition.com has been totally redesigned.

They say redesigning an e-commerce site is a bit like changing a flat tire on a highway without stopping your car

Nice design and e-commerce by Yahoo in fact, as for many companies who don’t want to develop their own solution but prefer to rent one. The translation module is lame just as the previous one, but better than nothing At least people from most countries can have a look for themselves and get ephedrine even if they don’t live in the USA and they don’t speak English. It will be a bit of guess work for them to find the right ephedrine but they are probably used to it

Last words and most important: this redesign did not change the product range, you will find the usual ephedra diet pills but also ephedrine HCL that you can purchase legally, no worry (check the site for all details: monthly limit per state in the USA and ID required).

That’s all for now, stay tuned for the coming posts and meanwhile, Happy Fat Burning!

• they don’t know (knowledge is key!)
• they think it’s not for them
• they don’t dare to ask
• they think it’s complex
• or any other reason!

If I had a marketing background, I would grab your attention by using these superior techniques they teach in top ranking universities: “Do you want to earn money, to get fit and healthy, to lose weight and to save time for your private life? And all of that without paying a cent?!”
But I have a scientific background so I will just tell you that your company is maybe offering financial incentives linked to wellness programs that you don’t use, so why not checking out together?

What Are Wellness Programs?

You know how much companies, especially in the USA, care about people. OK, I guess that we are all adults here so let’s rephrase that: you know how much companies care about their bottom line
Well, profit depends more and more on the health of their employees, especially in the U.S. where employer health insurance premiums have doubled since 2000. And in the same time, employees are paying $1,400 more for premiums than in 2000. With a rate of obesity close to epidemic in some states, the total U.S. health care costs reached $2.7 trillion in 2011 and will probably represent 20 percent of GDP in a few years.

To sum it up, companies are more and more concerned by health care expenditures and executives even consider these rising costs as the top fiscal pressure on their companies now. That’s why they are now so interested in keeping you healthy, productive, and satisfied
The problem is that a healthier lifestyle, for instance losing weight, has always required short-term sacrifices for long-term benefits. And people are not ready to start with efforts today for things that will happen far in the future, if they are still alive by then!
No problem, companies are not people, they know how to overcome this kind of issue because they know how to plan and they are ready to pay now for future benefits: your company will boost your motivation by linking your healthful activities to short-term incentives!When it comes to the challenge of changing your lifestyle, your boss knows what motivates you: incentives and disincentives, or carrots and sticks if you prefer. But I will not bother you with sticks here, I am sure that carrots will be good enough for the time being
As a consequence, many wellness programs have been started, first in big companies (500 or more employees) and progressively all size of business. How many companies have a wellness program in the USA? According to recent surveys, 67 percent of employers who offered health insurance had at least one wellness program in place.

What Benefits For You?

Money first, but also free services and support. Nothing you would refuse
Take IBM for instance: these guys offer you up to two $150 payments a year if you complete an online assessment around health!
- Healthy Eating: how to track your food, to plan your meals and to do a good goal setting for weight loss — Hey, does it ring a bell?? Of course, it’s exactly our page about Eat Less, the First Pillar of Weight Loss!
- Physical Activity: walking, running, swimming, biking — Again, looks like they have copied our Second Pillar of Weight Loss, Move More!
- Children’s Health: all you need to know for a healthy eating and exercising for your children — OK for this point, we didn’t cover it yet, maybe one day
You get the two $150 payments if you agree to some changes in your diet and physical activity in order to lose weight and get healthier.

Another example: Scotts offers $10 monthly fitness center membership fee, plus free health coaching, plus free medical services for you and your family! How cool is that?!

Do You Really Get Money?

It depends, some companies are offering cash-incentive payments, some others prefer to give you gift cards, most of them will reimburse employees until a certain limit per month with proof of payments, such as gym memberships. Many companies offer insurance-premium discounts to all employees who joined their wellness program and have meet the targeted health standards. Anyway, paying less or earning more, what difference?

How To Benefit From These Programs

You have to ask. If your company has a wellness program, good for you! I hope that you already took advantage of it? If not, it’s now time to start: don’t be shy and ask You will probably go through a global health assessment and you will then be required to meet specific health targets to obtain a reward (reduced employee premiums for instance).

What If Your Company Has None?

You should ask your company in all cases because it won’t cost you a cent and you might end up with cash in your pocket. Did your company already think about a wellness program? Did they plan something and what is the status? For sure the economical heath care background is valid for all companies so a wellness program has mutual benefits for the company as for the employees, maybe you could trigger something here? Just remember that it has more to do with proposition and persuasion than with negotiation and claims – but you probably already know, because you are smart, as all our readers
If your boss’ final word is no, you can still receive a bonus for your health efforts through your insurer and sponsored programs such as IncentOne, Virgin HealthMiles or ChipRewards. Check for instance if your health insurance plan will reimburse your gym membership fee after a certain number of visits in a six-month period.

Conclusion

Your company would like to reduce health care costs by influencing you to adopt a healthier lifestyle and your boss is ready to pay you for that, or to offer you free services such as health coaching or even to offer you insurance discounts.
If you are reading this post, most probably you are already trying to lose weight with the support of our team through ephedrine, nutrition and exercising. So you have the perfect profile for these wellness programs and all chances to meet the specific health requirements about weight loss, BMI, change of food habits and lifestyle, proven physical activity in your gym or in the company fitness center, etc… It’s a win-win between you and your employer, I should even say it’s a win-win-win between you, your employer and National Health Care Organizations.
Don’t celebrate by organizing a party at home with pizza and beer
You would rather use this money in the most effective way for your weight loss and buy ephedrine from our review of selling sites: the physiological effects of ephedrine will reduce your appetite, raise your energy level, boost your metabolism and your fat burning.
And all that virtually for free
Thanks who?

Regarding Move More, The Second Pillar of Weight Loss, this new page is taking the same direction: we have already received many feedbacks and questions that we will try to answer here. But before that, congratulations to all of you who have achieved to eat less and who have already started exercising!

You remember that we did three exercising programs for three groups, based on your previous exercising and your current physical activity.
Today we would like to reply to people from Group 1 and 2 who say that they can’t run.

Why can’t you run?
Apparently you have many reasons to stay at home:

• You are too fat
• You are too old
• Your knee hurts, your foot hurts, your ankle hurts, your shin hurts, your hip hurts, your back hurts, what else?
• Bodybuilders don’t run
• It’s bad for your joints
• It’s just too hard.

To be fair it’s not the first time that people tell me that they can’t run or that running is bad for them, if I had a dollar for every time I heard it, well… I’d be rich now but I would still be doing the same thing, writing this post

This topic is frequently launched and commented in running forums — yes, there are forums about running some guys are so happy running that they need to talk about it in specialized forums to other guys like them Of course you have many threads about “I can’t run” and hundreds of replies from members who remember what they used to reply to this question. Some of these replies were very funny, some made me laugh to tears, I have kept two of them:

• My dad always says that runners look so haggard. If by “haggard,” he means “super hot,” I totally get it.
• My mother in law told me it would make my uterus fall out. I told her I was done having kids so I didn’t need it anymore anyway.

OK, seriously now.

You say you can’t run? I don’t believe you. You can’t run or you don’t want to?
Let me answer point by point.

You are too fat to run

I don’t buy this one. It’s precisely because you are fat that you should run. Running is like walking, except quicker.
You can walk can’t you? So you can run too. There are no morphological reasons why you would not run. I don’t mean running a marathon in the first month, but starting with walking and running intervals can be done at any weight, whatever your Body Mass Index.

You are too old to run

Come on You are never too old to run if your body accepts it. Check with your doctor and you will know. I have so many seniors around me who started running in their 50′s and who are performing very well now (it’s amazing the endurance at this age). Too old to run, really? Tell that to Fauja Singh, who is at 101 the world’s oldest marathon runner!

Bodybuilders Don’t Run

I heard it so many times: most bodybuilders run when someone says the word cardio!   I will not develop here because a detailed post will come soon: anabolic versus catabolic training, bodybuilders who avoid cardio because they fear they would end up looking like skinny long distance runners It makes no sense to build a global rule out of an exception. Life is balance, you need strength but endurance also, you should definitely include some cardio training with running sessions.

Joints, The Typical Fake Excuse

If you are overweight, of course pounding out the pavement will be demanding for your hips and knees! Make sure to buy real running shoes, not Converse All Stars…
For instance cushioning shoes will provide a high level of shock attenuation if you are running on the pavement more than on grass or off-road in general. The way your foot hit the road tells if you are pronator, over-pronator or supinator. Most people are pronators, probably your case too. With cushioning shoes your body’s connective tissue will absorb the shock, without cushioning your bones and joints will take the brunt of the shock. I can’t stand seeing people (overweight or not) running without appropriate shoes. Sometimes I can’t resist, I stop and tell them: for God’s sake, buy *real* running shoes!!

Running is too hard

If the real reason you won’t run is more in your head than in your body, you have a mental block on running and you think it’s too hard. I can’t run, it’s just not possible, it’s too hard, boohoo Running is hard, sure, but only at the beginning! If you are strong enough to start and then to resist for a few weeks, believe me, there is no better way for losing weight and getting fit than running. Running burns more calories than almost every other exercise, it’s worth the effort. Did you try our first program with walking and jogging intervals? Really? If not, how do you know you can’t run until you try? Was it to hard? Did you have cushioning shoes? If not, try again. Did you respect all rest and recovery days between sessions? It’s not easy but it’s feasible for anyone: start by walking and after a while, running, and so on. I remember I could not run for 5 minutes straight the first time I tried, having so many extra pounds after all these years of excess (junk food, alcohol, no physical activity). So I took the advice of experts around me, including my brother in law, and after a few weeks I was able to run for short distances, progressively for 10 minutes, then 15, then 20 and so on until 30, 45, 1 hour! and more. I did it, thousands of people did it, you can do it. It’s in your head.

Running Causes Pain and Injury

I prefer to address this issue immediately: yes it’s true, depending on your overweight you might have small inconveniences like problems with your knees or hips. First, refer to my previous words regarding cushioning shoes. If you have real running shoes and still issues, they have to be considered of course. It has been the case for me also in the beginning: I had an inflammation behind the knee and one at the hip and both have been treated by a doctor with a few anti-inflammatory injections.
Don’t worry too much, these things happen: running comes with the stress of little or medium shocks, your body breaks down your muscles during training and rebuilds them after training, that’s why rest days are important. It might happen that you have some aches and pains in the beginning, don’t worry, slow down, take more rest, get it treated by a doctor, after a few weeks you’ll be definitely over it and you will be on the right track for your new body Be strong.

Conclusion

Except buying ephedrine for its famous fat burning effects, I see no better chance for your weight loss program than running, again and again and again!
Why do you think I insist so much? Because I know.
Running is also a terrific stress reliever. You have no idea how much it could change your life, not only your body. From all people I have helped to get fit and healthy again, most of them don’t need to run anymore for weight management, because their lifestyle and food habits are fine, but they kept running for all the benefits. Ask any runner about the biggest risk with running: doing too much until you’ve injured yourself and you need to stop running for a while… Be honest, don’t hide behind fake excuses and just face the truth: you can run. You know that nothing compares to running when it come to lose weight.
You really want to lose weight. You should run. You will run.
