ECA STACK - BURNS MUSCLE! grrr!

Just recieved my Ephedrine in the mail and im about to do an EC stack for 3 weeks while NOT cutting calories too much. I wanna lose about 3 pounds of pure body fat from eating matainence and doing cardio 3x a week. I just read a thread that ECA causing muscle loss while dieting etc etc. Some people also claim that it preserves muscle though - what is the deal? Also i dont even really need to cut that much fat im at around 11-12% and wanna get down to 10% so i can bulk again slowly.

i lost 8 lbs. overall on a 6 week EC cycle 14% down to 12% or so and actually added 1/2" to my arm measurements and lost on the waist...something was growing and it wasn't my fat.

EC is actually anti-catabolic, so it will not cause muscle loss. I think the problem with it is that while on EC (which I am right now), appetite is pretty much non-existent. I have to force myself to eat, and get nauseous when I do sometimes. Now, if someone doesn't force themselves to eat or gets in enough calories, the body will look for nutrients wherever it can get them, which generally is from the muscles first.

If you keep your calories the way they are now, you should very easily lose those last couple of lbs. without decreasing muscle.

Diet plays a huge role in the ratio of body fat to muscle that you lose.

ECA wouldn't burn anymore muscle then any other stim, it'll help you shed fat fast, provided you're lifting heavy and eating lots of protein/fats and not so much carbs.

Keeping your calories up is very difficult whil on Ephedine.
Remember, crystal meth (crank) is made from Ephedrine. Try huffing down a pizza while tweeking. Not gonna happen.

Not only does EC kill your appatite, but it also makes it harder to swallow food. Strange drug that EPhedrine...

I believe that article that you are referencing is attributing the muscle loss to Aspirin, not the EC stack. If you had low doses of Aspirin, I wouldn't really be worried. Without, there's nothing to worry about, as long as your diet is solid.

cutting my 25mg ephedrine pill in half and taking my first dose now with 200mg of caffine.. thanks guys.. hopefully ill be able to shove food down my throat..
