Burning Fat With Caffeine and Ephedrine

Caffeine and Ephedrine stack has been around forever in the bodybuilding world. This two compounds are believed by most fitness enthusiasts to have great fat burning and weight loss properties. I myself see great results on this duo and prefer it over any fat burner out there, because it is cheaper and works just as good, if not better. Let's take a look what do the two have to offer to someone who is trying to lose weight.

  1. Both caffeine and ephedrine are stimulants that will accelerate you resting heart rate. With a faster pulse your body will be burning more calories even while you are not doing anything.
  2. In combination, caffeine and ephedrine promote what is called thermogenesis. Simply put, they elevate your core temperature allowing for your body to burn more calories. Combined with cardio or even weight training, it is a great tool to heat up your body to make your workouts more efficient in burning fat. Just don't forget to drink a lot of water so you don't overheat!
  3. While promoting fat loss, ephedrine-caffeine stack has the ability to preserve muscle at the same time. This is a great news, considering that you need muscle to burn more calories and look good.
  4. There were many studies done that have proved that caffeine-ephedrine combination has the ability to suppress appetite.
  5. Caffeine and ephedrine stack prevents good cholesterol (HDL) to drop during the fat loss.
  6. Provided that both are taken together, they increase insulin sensitivity which is another factor in fat loss. In a nutshell, insulin sensitivity is your body's ability to process carbohydrates with a minimum amount of secreted insulin (a storage hormone). When insulin levels are kept low, your body will release fatty acids (burn more fat), as opposed to when the insulin levels are high and the fat loss comes to a halt.

Caffeine-ephedrine stack is a great tool to help you burn fat, but it is not a magic pill. You still need to monitor your diet and exercise. There is a protocol on how to take caffeine and ephedrine that everyone should follow to the T in order to avoid any unwanted effects. If the protocol is fulfilled you will be amazed by results you see. Here it is:


Day 1: take half ephedrine pill (4mg) to test its effects. You may get jittery, like after drinking a lot of coffee. It is expected, and jitters usually go away by week 4.
Day 2-3: take 3 doses of 8mg of ephedrine (full pill) and 100mg caffeine, 3-4 hours apart. I'd suggest not to take it 6 hours before bed, as you may not be able to fall asleep (although, it is only in the beggining).
Day 4-6: Dosing is: 2ephedrine 1caffeine, 1ephedrine 0.5caffeine, 1ephedrine 0.5caffeine.
Day 7-9: Dosing: 2ephedrine 1caffeine, 2ephedrine 1caffeine, 1ephedrine 0.5caffeine.
Day 9-11: Dosing: 2ephedrine 1caffeine x3.
Day 12-14: 3ephedrine 1caffeine, 3ephedrine 1caffeine, 2ephedrine 1caffeine.
Day 15 and onward: 3ephedrine 1caffeine x3.

This will ensure that you build up your body's tolerance towards the stack without shocking your system. The appetite suppression and jitters wshould go away by around week 4, but fat burning effects will still remain. You can continue taking it for as long as 8 weeks and then cycle off for 2 weeks. Make sure not to drink any caffeinated drinks such as coffees, teas and colas (although you can still drink 1-2 decaffeinated drinks). Try not to do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) like sprinting, 1-2 hours after you take your EC serving. If you absolutely need to to do it, skip your dose and take it after. If you use an inhaler, EC stack is not for you, as inhalers have similar effects.
