Anyone ever heard of this?

I was recommended to take two in the morning, two at lunch, and two at bedtime with a boatload of water. Apparently, and without switching up the diet, it worked wonders for a credible friend of mine in about two weeks. Shed lots of pounds.

Will report back in 14 days.

I prefer Ceylon Cinnamon, and have it 2x a day. The downside of regular cinnamon is toxicity at higher levels.

Ceylon doesn't build like that and studies generally show the same effect.

Why bump? Certainly cinnamon is a very good supplement to take for health it will not help to lose body fat.

The only pills that can help someone burn body fat are those that raise the metabolism, period. Those would be variants of pills that force a greater release or replace the thyroid hormone that we naturally produce. They have to be taken at levels that force Supra levels of circulating thyroid hormone.

Next would be beta2 antognist like clenbuterol and Albuterol and ephedra/caffeine stack. Clen raises RMR by approx 25%, eca by about 15%.

Last would be an uncoupler like DNP, which is actually just poison.

All three catagories have side effects. ECA stack is safe if taken correctly. The rest.... especially dnp can have bad bad side effects and in dnps case, cause death if you don't know what you are doing.


Now things that control insulin, ppar antognist and items that control cortisol can help thru blood flow to certain areas that have a low amount of receptorz. Not really going to burn faster just from more preferred areas.

I disagree. Insulin regulation will help lose weight indirectly because the body is working more efficiently. Take a look at Metformin.

ECA is healthiest.

I mean somebody like you could prolly do DNP safely but it's so damn risky I wouldn't recommend it. You are essentially trusting your life to a drug dealer hoping he didn't accidentally overdose the product. Dunno about you, but I have met a few drug dealers and I wouldn't trust them to wipe my arse much less with my life.

It's funny, the FDA and DEA cracked down on dnp and all the big guys on Reddit, all they did was take out the two most well known guys that were trusted after providing years of service. I clicked on that sub Reddit the other day and it's a fricking shite show lol. Typical government intervention

That's the biggest difference between ECA and DNP or Clen. You can get ECA over the counter fully regulated and dosed where you know what you're getting.

The black market stuff...you're not exactly gonna sue if you got ripped off by an illegal dealer. They have the power, and you get what you get.

No studies suggest that controlling insulin leads to faster body fat loss when calories and protein are equated. Where the body fat comes from....yes, but not at a faster rate. If you got links to any studies, would love to see them as would bdcarpenter, Layne Norton, etc as they would be ground breaking.

Thank you, I will read later.

Question I have off the summary is "were calories accounted for and was protein accounted for?"

We treated 154 consecutive patients with a body mass index =27?kg/m(2) in an outpatient setting over 6 months with metformin up to a dosage of 2,500?mg per day. Additionally, we included 45 untreated patients as controls. Patients were monitored for weight changes over 6 months. Before metformin treatment was started insulin sensitivity was determined in all patients by calculating HOMA index and Matsuda index after a 75?g oral glucose tolerance test.


Basically they didn't change the diet or exercise regimen of the patients. This is essentially each individuals base line and with so many patients attending, it's viable.

Ok I'll read it, I ask because metformin is known to cause diarrhea and upset stomach and if its not controlled for calories it could be the individual is getting those side effects and is eating healthier and lowering caloric consumption to avoid that.

Imo if that is the case it is not a viable weight loss drug. Orlosat did that by not allowing you to absorb 1/2 your fat intake, causing you to shite it out, to avoid that most people avoided fats like the plague and in turn lowered calorie consumption drastically.

Yes, metformin causes some diarrhea and nausea in some patients but most practitioners recommended increasing from 1 to 2 a day to alleviate this. After the increase, people usually don't have these symptoms and this is within a 1 to 2 week period. I know these things because my in laws take it.
