\ "Space it up however you want, all I want to know is does it work. Will it really mighty my penis, man? \ Well maybe not the last sentence. What i’m trying to find out is if stacker-3 and its clones are really the worlds strongest fat burners, and if they do work, out of it and its clones, which works the best? ---

Stacker3 is a highly effective money-burner, though certainly not the best. Here’s a much better fat-burning program. Get a bag of frozen peas. Every day, take a frozen pea just like you would take a pill. You must walk for fifteen minutes before swallowing the pea. After swallowing the pea, walk for another fifteen minutes. I guarantee you’ll get dramatic results before you get to the end of the bag of peas. ---

**AskNott,** I heard that you need to walk fairly briskly, too… I met some friends this spring who were taking stackers as pick-me-ups… sounded iffy to me. I stuck to good ol’ caffeine. Isn’t Ephedra supposed to be bad for you? Stacker-3 Ingredients: Ephedra Extract, Kola Nut Extract (contains caffeine), White Willow Bark, Grapefruit Extract, Chitosan, Di Basic Calcium Phosphate, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Black Lake Blend ‘R’ Gelatin. ---

Among the myriad of warnings on those Stacker bottles: > [@](#): > > [drugstore.com](http://www.drugstore.com/qxp79438_333181_sespider/stacker_2/ephedra_free_worlds_strongest_fat_burner_capsules.htm) > Individuals who are hypersensitive to caffeine should avoid the use of this product. Individuals who consume caffeine with this product may experience serious adverse health effects. That right there is why I haven’t tried any of those weight-loss pills.
