So I just finished my two weeks of ECA following my two weeks on Clen. I'm going to quickly list some pros/cons of both from my personal experience, as promised to digitalash earlier this month. Keep in mind everything is IMO.
Clen
Pros:
-Easy to take/low doseages; taking a shot of .2-1ml of clen mixed with gatorade is pretty painless, and clen doesn't really have a bad taste anyway.
-Definitely lost a good 5lbs straight off the bat the first two weeks on clen. This might be because I started off cutting with it, however, and it was easier to drop the initial lbs/water weight at the beginning.
Cons:
-Price; cost me I think something like $50-60 a pop for a tiny 30ml bottle.
-Have to take taurine with it because supposedly it's bad for cardiovascular health at extended periods of time.
-Effects; this may just be me, but most of the time I couldn't even feel the clen working. I bought it off a sponsor site so I'm fairly sure it's straight but I just didn't feel the psychological effects like I did with the ECA.
ECA
Pros:
-APPETITE SUPPRESSANT! This cannot be understated. When I was on clen I felt like pigging out and eating fast food anytime I drove by a joint. I pretty much never felt this on ECA, if you're taking these things to cut it is imperative you don't cheat often and so this was huge.
-Price; you can get your whole ECA set up for at least 60 days for no more than $25
-The caffeine helps give you an energy boost throughout the day (if you take more than one dose specifically). Further, it also works as a good pre-workout if you're cycling off of pre-workout stimulants or water retainers like creatine (like I was).
Cons:
-Jitteriness; I'm pretty sensitive to stimulants and usually something like one cup of coffee is good for me for the day. When you're taking ECA though I was taking around 400mg of caffeine just to keep it up with the ephedrine and definitely felt on edge a lot. I hope these two weeks didn't kill my sensitivity to caffeine.
-Popping an additional three pills 2-3x a day; I'm reaching now because I really liked the ECA and honestly couldn't think up too many negatives.
Ok so the final verdict: The scale said clen helped me drop maybe 1lb more in two weeks (accounting for water weight), but those two weeks were hell eating my low calories and forcing myself with all my willpower not to eat crap throughout. While I was on ECA diet was a breeze. I didn't have any inclination to eat junk food and was perfectly satisfied throughout the day. Further, it also kept my energy levels high and I didn't feel as lethargic as I did on clen (at times). ECA was definitely better psychologically.
So anyway, I'm going on my two weeks of clen again starting today, so if anything changes or I forgot something I'll update in this thread.
