If you're forking out big dollars for ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin,
you need to change pharmacies.

The portion you intend to eat, the portion you need to eat and the portion you
want to eat may all be different. Sometimes, one's will power ("the portion you need
to eat") is poor and the food is good. You can imagine the result there.

But it came in a fancy bottle with a fancy label, and had a full page
in Musclemag so it must be worth it!! Not to generalize, but I'm gonna
anyway, the average cyclist is a whole lot smarter/better educated
than 90% of the gym rats out there. Supplements are the gym rats
version of superlight un-obtainium. They lose all sense in the face of

Prices on this stuff seem to have stayed the same or gone down.
Google is being really cranky this morning but if you go to:
supplementwarehouse.com
and search for "ripped fuel", or go to the "Fat Burners" category you
get a quick picture.
I'm pretty amazed that these prices seem to be directly comparable to
what they were 15/20 years ago.

There are a million problems. I recommend taking it easy.
Put food on the plate. Sit down. Look at it. Now shut up and eat.
