The popularity of diet pills with ephedra is going strong. Large numbers of people each month continue to search the internet looking for not just ephedra products but also original brand names that have not been manufactured since 2004.

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.

Even though companies like Stacker are still around they no longer make the brand name, Stacker 2, that contained ephedra. All the popular brands stopped making ephedra diet pills way back in 2004 when ephedra was made illegal by the FDA.

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.

The following brand names of fat burners that contained ephedra are no longer available. Metabolife 356, Hydroxycut with ephedra, Stacker 2 with ephedra, Stacker 3 with ephedra, or Xenadrine RFA-1.

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.

Weight Loss Info: When you go on a strict diet you tend to lose muscle. Since muscle helps to burn calories it is best to use a weight loss method that preserves muscle or even increases it such as lifting weights. Bodybuilders loved ephedra because it preserved muscle.

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.

Like any herb or drug, ephedra certainly is not for everybody. Some people quickly discover that they do not like the effects of ephedra and so they stop taking it. Many people found it helped a great deal in their efforts to lose weight.

Fat Loss Fact: Total calorie reduction is the single most important tool for losing weight.
