Although there is no long term data for the effects the drug has on the nervous system or weight loss, using pills for weight control is not ideal, Wellman said. ’’You must get off of it eventu ally, and you may gain the weight back,” he said. Rhonda Rahn, health educator of nutrition at the A.P. Beutel Health Center, said she has heard from various students who are concerned about friends who are taking Metabolite and other simi lar weight loss pills. She said some students are complaining that they cannot stop shaking or get to sleep at night when taking the ephedrine-based pills. Research has found prob lems such as heart attacks and strokes in otherwise healthy 20- year-olds who take ephedrine. Rahn said. While some health issues and deaths stem from people taking ephedrine in excess, it is also not the most effective tool for weight loss, health experts say. The best way to lose weight is to eat a proper diet and exercise regularly. "I absolutely promote exercise and eating healthy," Rahn said. Wellman hopes his investiga tion will force the FDA to be more aware of regulation con cerning herbal weight loss sup plements.
