Just Say No To Stimulants - Here's Why

Although thermogenic products may help you lose weight,
they do so at great risk to your health. Thermogenic products typically contain caffeine, ephedrine, herbal forms (i.e. guarana, ma huang) of these stimulants or both.

Ephedrine is an appetite suppressant and a central nervous stimulant, like amphetamines ("speed"). Thus, this compound stimulates your nervous system, which among other things controls your brain, blood vessels, and heart. As a result of increased stimulation of your nervous system, your body's metabolism artificially increases (also known as thermogenesis).

When your metabolism increases, your body burns more calories. When you reduce the amount of food you eat and burn more calories, you will tend to lose weight. In addition to the ephedrine, caffeine is usually added to these products.

Caffeine seems to make the ephedrine effects on your body stronger. The FDA requirements for products containing ephedrine now require long warning labels such as the one below for a popular unnamed product. This quote was copied directly from their web site.

Warning: Not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.Do not use if pregnant or nursing or if at risk of or being treated for heart disease, high blood pressure, liver, thyroid, or psychiatric disease, diabetes, pernicious anemia, glaucoma, nervousness, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder, cardiac arrhythmias, stroke, pheochromacytoma, difficulty in urination or prostate enlargement.

Consult your physician before use if you are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or any other prescription drug containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine (ingredients found in certain allergy, asthma, cough/cold and weight control products). Exceeding recommended serving will not improve results and may cause serious adverse health effects including heart attack and stroke. Discontinue use and consult a health care professional immediately if you experience rapid heartbeat, dizziness, severe headache, shortness of breath, heart palpitations or similar symptoms.

 Individuals who consume additional caffeine with this product may experience serious adverse health effects."

Even if you are lucky enough to never experience any of these serious side effects, there are consequences of long-term use of stimulants. Adrenal exhaustion is one such side effect. Because caffeine and other stimulants directly stimulate the adrenal glands, chronic use of stimulants can, in a sense, "wear out" the adrenal gland. Individuals with adrenal exhaustion are susceptible to chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, a suppressed immune system, and thyroid problems. Most people
(more than 95%) who use thermogenic products for weight loss gain the weight back plus some after stopping use of the product. So you put yourself at risk for what? A few weeks of being 'wired'?
