Does anyone think that taking an ECA such as Hydroxycut for example is actually counterproductive when cutting in so much as it actually causes them to lose muscle as well as bodyfat? Just curious.
EC stacks have been shown in multiple studies to aid in LBM retention. Norepinephrine (which mediates its effects) has also been shown to be anti-proteolytic.
So, typically, the answer is a very strong "no".
However, catecholamines have been shown to decrease leptin levels, so possibly at very low bodyfat, EC could be counterproductive, but there is nothing to really suggest one way or the other.
