Stacker 2(with ephedra) v.s. Xenical

[mm107]

Hello guys, let me start off saying im glad to be part of this board it seems like a very intelligent board with no b.s.

Ok, right now i am weighing in at 199lbs. i am 5'11. I used to be very athletic so i was basically muscular weight not fat but in my junior year of high school i injured my calfs wich stoped my baseball/basketball career. I put on an good amount of weight in 2 years (end of junior year/whole senior yr). Recently on Nov 20 some asshole blew a red light and blasted my drivers side door resulting in a back injury, not a serious one but there is pain and there will be pain for the next 6-9 months. But the whole thing is my doctor has told me that my excess weight will cause stress and pro-long the healing proccess. So i immediately went on a diet. I was around 235-240 in Nov. I now weight 199 w/ the use of Breakfast shakes/Lunch Shake and a sensible dinner. I didnt want to use any diet supplents untill i reached at least 190. Since i have a back injury Cardio is out of the question and so is any weight lifting or else my ass would be in the gym with no problem.
Now heres my question....
I know where to get Stacker2 with the ephedra and Xenical. My question is has anyone had any success stories with each one? I know the Xenical blocks 1/3 of the fats in the food you eat due to an enzyme, and since i am on a very low fat diet (only dinner if anything and its still sensible meal) would blocking that last amount of fats really help? Or should i go ahead and get the Stacker 2's with the ephedra in them? to burn the fat off...

Any info on anything i mentioned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys and im glad to part of the team.

P.S. Im going to be 170 (just matters how quick) =]

Ok, well I would personally avoid the Xenical altogether. If you are eating the right kind of fats (EFA's) there is no rhyme or reason behind trying to block them from being digested. Fat doesn't make you fat, too many calories make you fat, regardless of where the come from.

The ephedrine may work to suppress appetite slightly, but the metabolism boost that people attribute to it is minimal at best. I generally use ephedrine for the energy it gives me when doing cardio. On it's own, however, (i.e., without cardio), don't expect miracles from the ephedra.

Your real focus should be on a nice clean diet. Are you currently losing weight on the diet you follow? If so, stick with it until you stall. If not, gradually start reducing calories (by 250-500 per day) - anything more than that and you're shooting yourself in the foot.

If it's specific food choices you need help with, or a macronutrient split, let us know and I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions.
