Default VIP Question about E/C/A stack!

Hello everyone! I am seriously considering taking an E/C/A stack to get those pounds moving.

I have one major concern--if I take these pills and DO manage to lose some weight, will I gain the weight back after I stop taking these pills? Will they be something that I will need to take all the time in order to keep the weight off?

I need your advice, please!


Thank you!

Ana

Ana-

It is really up to you what supplements you choose to take but your stats show you have lost over 50 lbs since July and that is truly amazing.

Why would you want to take a chance with this????

Hi--I DO realize that I have lost a good bit of weight since I started this diet. However, the going has been pretty slow for the past 2 months or so...

I was hoping to just get that scale moving there's no way that I have given up on this WOL just because the pounds aren't moving, but I would sure love to see them go!

You are doing so well without pills. Because they are considered "herbal" the FDA doesn't get involved, but believe me they should. These supplements cause heart problems and may even lead to stroke down the road and yes, the weight will come back once you stop because you are dependent on them. You will also encounter mood swings and irregular sleep patterns. These pills are very dangerous because most people ignor the recommended time to stay on them and continue taking them. Here's an article on these pills http://www.testosterone.net/html/17ultim.html Hope this has changed your mind.

Ana, As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." It sounds to me like your fat burning machine is in peak working condition. Don't go monkeying around with the whoosh fairy gods. Your progress is awesome!
