Pre-Paleo diet I took Metabolife which was an herbal diet control,
weight loss pill with Ma Juang and naturally occuring ephedra.  The
feeling I got from those pills is similar to the feeling when I am in
ketosis.  I assumed it was energy but it makes sense that hormones are
being triggered to tell you something.  (I happen to like the feeling
when I am in ketosis but have not stayed in it for more than a few days
at a time).
