Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below ECAm refers to the active "ingredients" in most fat burners. E=ephedra C= caffiene and A= asprine. When these are taken in a proper ratio they create a thermagenic affect in the body increasing metabolism , suppresing appetite , increase in heart rate ect. Be careful though , these might not be the answer for you.
First time in here, I can use some advise!

How would I know? Should I see a doctor about it or are there any suppliments out there that I can research?

okay, next question. My boyfriend is really into bodybuilding and he has a "weight pile" in the backyard. Would it be a good idea to work out with the weights now or should I wait? My boyfriend is into building up mass, and he isn't sure about my situation, which is why I'm here...

Lifting weights is the best thing for long term fat loss. More muscle mass burns more calories. Diet is also a huge part of the equation. Throw some cardio in there and you have got the formula for fat loss

okay, I plan to walk daily, slowly working my way up to jogging. I plan on eating carefully, taking in a lot more fruits & veggies to snack on. What kind of weight lifting should I start off with? I want to lose my stomach, flabby arms and tighten my legs.

I'm at work and today I won't be on line much. Can anyone give me links to diets that have been posted that might work for me, or suggest any diets for me to try?
welcome and congratulations on making a life change
zone & atkins (and variations of these) seem to be most common diets you can do a search with those key words
also you might look into the body for life program one of our mods had great results with the program
I would ask my physician before using an ECA/ fat burner

I would be willing to be that as you walk and work out more, your energy levels will improve. I am a recovering coke addict and I know exactly what your going through in terms of the energy. Be careful when reading labels of food that say "fat-free." There is often alot of sugar and calories to watch out for.
Good luck.
By the way, if you ask your doctor about ECA, he will tell you not too on principle and give you advice like "eat a low-fat diet." That's fine, but you still have to watch the carbs and calories. It seems like you want to make a lifestyle change and get on a program you can sustain. The Atkins diet works great, but I would be careful in restricting carbs too much at this point, particularly with your current low energy level. Don't try to do too much too soon. You have the rest of your life to be fit. For every 1 person that keeps weight of in the Atkins diet, there are probably like 20 others that can't maintain it so get some exercise and eat a sensible diet and you'll start losing the weight and feeling better. There are many people on this board that are very advanced, and some of the diet techniques, while valid, are really not for beginners.
