I have to take exception with this, Teri. ECA stacks have been given a very bum wrap in the press. Yes, they have been involved in some deaths - but the majority of these have been due to misuse and abuse. Using calorie restriction, macronutrient manipulation, cardio and weight training and supplements are all valid ways of coercing your metabolism into high speed. There are some good pro and con arguments and information contained in that link I posted, it's worth the read.
