A couple of years ago I tried a Low-Carb diet product that contained caffeine and ephedra. It hyped me up a bit but did nothing to break my LC plateau. That is best done by cutting excessive fats, calories and keeping carbs below 10 gm. I went to 1600 calories for my 160 pound lean body mass and lost 1 to 1.5 pounds per week very successfully. I was experiencing very high metabolic resistance and this broke it.

My friend's daughter was a distributor of a popular ephedra-caffeine diet product. She did not do LC but had only moderate weight gain, not obesity. She had a heart attack and died about a year ago at the age of 42, leaving two late teenage daughters and husband. My friend thinks the diet product was the cause of her death and I agree.
