Is otc supplements like ephedrine and caffeine out of question?

I've told him about ephedrine a while ago, but honestly, his health is so messed up that I'm afraid it would do something to him.

I'll tell him about those 5 hour energy drinks, I guess. Thanks

His diet isn't too bad. He's just taking a lot of meds and working a lot. He is not my life partner.

He's starting cardio and lifting soon, so we'll see how that goes. I don't know about the fruits idea. I've always thought they were too high on the index to be beneficial. I'm a proponent of oatmeal, wheat bread etc... and high protein like chicken and steak, fish in the diet. Unless you're eating a lot of steak, you may not get enough of the EFAs. That was my reasoning. Maybe he should snack on nuts. (not mine though)

Fuck it, energy drinks it is, and hopefully the lifting and cardio will help. Thanks

Personally, I never agreed with the media's fruit diet thing, since it's just fructose.

The concept of "energy drink" is worthless without knowing what drugs or compounds are in such drinks that are purported to give one energy.

I'm a big fan of ephedrine HCl, but it's potential for health risks is a definite concern for anyone.

Sometimes, the side effects of Rx'd meds cannot be fully avoided -- for such a thing, one is best off discussing such with a doctor, nurse, or registered dietician. We can't really help much without being familiar with the pharmacokinetics of the drugs causing his sluggishness, either...

Okay... but what are they? What chemicals? Why do they give one supposed energy?
