Want to lose some body fat for vacation in 6 weeks.

Diet is on point. And about 300cal deficit of my TDEE.

Conditioning in the AM fasted and lifts PM

Picked up some ephedrine (8mg tabs) caffeine (200mg tabs) and baby aspirin.

Best dose to start so I don't hyperventilate and die?

Thx fellas
 
Well if you have never used Ephedrine before, than you should probably take one tab (8mg) with or without 100 mg of caffeine to see how your body responds.. I personally only do a EC stack as the aspirin is not really needed. Also I believe if you google ECA Stack they give you a pretty good outline on how and when to dose!

I already take 200mg caffeine every morning. Should I split into 100 and take twice a day?

When you do your morning caffeine dose of 200, take the 8mg tab. You will probably feel nothing but it just standard if you have not taken Ephedrine before

Well after about 3 weeks I was dosing a total of 64mg a day 7 days a week! But I believe you said you only have 6 weeks before vacay. So you might have to go up higher in the mg earier?

I'm gonna try to up it every 4 days. I hear of people doing the stack 3 times a day for consistency. Any idea on this?
 
You should be good dosing twice per day. 8 mg at a time to start, then once you are comfortable there go to 2 pills in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. You can probably max out around 6-9 caps a day to be honest....Depending on tolerance.

For me, I normally take 20 mg twice per day, just because I don't want to mess with my sleep, but 3x per day can work too if you feel the need and have assessed tolerance.

Yes at one point near the end of my 3 months of ephedrine I was doing 24mg x 3 a day .. total of 72mg. But only did it for the last week or so. I believe the best way is to build up to it
 
Ya once you get in the "normal" dosages and still can sleep normal its... 3 tabs in the am , 3 tabs mid day, 2 tabs afternoon. Best be getting up early so you can sleep still.. all stacked with 200 mg of caffeine aka no preworkout or coffee during the day (shouldnt need it anyways)

When's your latest dose?
 
Std protocol is 20/200 up to 3 times a day - but obviously, 600mg of CAF is a bit much, so adjust accordingly. You don't *have* to always do the CAF. Dump the Aspirin. Half life of E is ~4hrs. See how 8mg makes you feel (bonus points if you own a BP Monitor) and if OK, go to 16, then 24 per dose. 300kcal deficit isn't much, you may want to rethink that part. Shoot for 1-2lbs/week to keep as much lbm as possible, so best case you'll be 6-12lbs leaner.
 
I end up running 25/200 3* a day for months at a time, no issues thus far... I was reading the other day about how e works better over time, your body only adjust to the stimulant effects but the fat burning properties get better the longer you take it
