I'm in a weight loss contest with someone at work (Lose as much as you can in 60 days). The weigh-in is Thursday May 1st and I'm trying to find the best way to lose as much weight as I can by then. So fat I've lost 15 pounds but am still fat and can lose more. How can I cheat and lose lots of...

If I have a desk job where I sit around for 8 hours programming, can I take an ECA or NYC even though I have high blood pressure (I'm only 22 years old)? From the recent ephedra deaths, it looks like people took it right before working out. I need something to keep my metobolism going and burn...

oh sorry, it's not ECA. It's called Mega Fat Burners from Optimum Nutrition and it does not contain effedrine. This is what it has: Citrimax..500 mg L-Carnitine..100 mg Choline..400 mg Inositol..200 mg Chromium Picnolate..400 mcg Also Mr. X, thanks for the links. I'll try to increase my...

I'm a male, 22, 6'1" 250 lbs with hypertension since I was a young kid. I just started taking care of it now by taking norvasc 10mg daily. I'm probably near 35% body fat and need serious help to get my weight down. An EKG showed that my heart is working very hard and getting larger. This...

Ok, I know I won't be taking 20,000 mg but hope to be taking 3-5K mg but where can I find this high quality Vitamin C in a powder form? Or can I just take three 1000mg pills a day made by some supplement company?

I have a friend that takes 20,000 mg of Vitamin C everyday. He said that he has never been sick, not even a cold or cough, since he's been taking the supplment. Is this dangerous. There's reasearch that shows high quantities of Vitamin C helps slow down HIV. I don't know where the...

Right now I'm 6'1 250 with around 35% bf. Yeah, I'm fat. My other issues are that I have high blood pressure but am not taking any medication because I feel like there's something I can do about it without medication. I want to go on a diet similar to Atkins until I lower my blood pressure...

Well, I'm not on any BP meds and do not plan on taking them. I here about this Atkins diet and did a search but didn't come up with any instructions or guidelines? What is the Atkins Diet and where can I find out more about it? Does anyone have a link?

I've been reading this board for about a month now and getting ideas on what to eat and how to excercise but I'm limited to these things because I have a high blood pressure. My physician told me not to lift weights because the blood pressure will rise even more in danger levels. How do I go...
