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.

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.
