Hey all,

Do you think it is possible to lose 20lbs in a month without using herbal remedies like ephedra?

If you are very overweight, and are a new dieter? Yes. New dieters drop a lot of fluid during the first month. Those that are very overweight can lose more pounds per month than those that are less overweight.


Herbal products such as ephedra don't have a magical effect on fat. They just make you feel as if you have drunk a gallon of coffee and you feel that sort of rush, and usually with jitters. It's just a stimulant, used wrongly as a weight loss aid. It's also very dangerous, but most people are aware of that.

When taking the ephedra, you are moving more because of the fidgety effects. You may be eating less because it alters your appetite or makes you nauseous.

Why not move more and eat less without taking a dangerous product?


ephedra: Known to cause dizziness, jitters, insomnia, and heart palpitations, and may increase blood pressure. Has led to stroke, heart attack, and seizures. Has caused at least 60 deaths and over 1200 serious illnesses including strokes.

If you are serious about getting weight off quickly, add some weight training. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be and the more calories you will burn. It really works (although maybe not twenty pounds in a month's worth).
