I have read that the major weight loss supplements are mostly caffeine (Xenadrine, Stacker, Trim Spa, Ect.). This is why most pro athletes do not use them. Is this statement true? Are there any caffeine free supplements? Also, is it true that ephedra is a form of caffeine?

You’re right — ALL the major weight loss pills are either LOADED with caffeine or they contain ephedra, which can be lethal if taken by teenagers or persons suffering from high blood pressure or heart disease. That is EXACTLY why pro-athletes won’t take them. Ephedra = ephedrine hydrochloride, but I have no idea if that’s in the caffeine family. And no, I can’t name any weight loss or fat burning supplement that doesn’t contain caffeine or ephedra (or both). BOTTOM LINE: They don’t work over the long term and can have nasty long-term effects. The high levels of caffeine and/or ephedra mess with your metabolism and actually cause your metabolism to run slower after you stop taking them. So you could take them for a few months, lose the weight you want to lose, but once you stop you’ll have to exercise harder or eat a lot less just to maintain. Not good. You’re better off going the natural way. Check out the website below for a plan to lose weight and keep it off without the use of fat burners, supplements, or pills.
yes, pills contain caffeine
it is better to go through any diet plans for losing wt
Almost all of the diet supplements use caffiene to “boost” your metabolism, but it’s artificial and once you stop taking the pills your left with a caffiene addiction and a metabolism that’s back to whatever you were before hand.
I don’t know of any caffiene free supplements, but ephedra is not a form of caffiene.
