Fat Burning Supplements

If you are looking for health supplements anywhere, you would be surprised at how many you can find over the Internet, advertised in magazines and newspapers, and sold over the counter. You would literally find hundreds of them and they are claiming to have remarkable benefits for weight loss, body cleansing, and overall body health. Although it can be tempting to try every supplement that pops in the market, the possible side effects are scary.

Weight loss is a difficult, if not impossible endeavor. Each day of your weight loss mission requires dedication, consistency and commitment towards your goal. Despite all their efforts, weight loss is not easy for women as compared to men. Even though there are millions of fat loss supplements for women in the market, women still find it difficult to lose weight.

The problem is with the way women are made. A woman has more estrogen than man. Estrogen is a hormone which helps in keeping fat on the body. This is because a woman needs to become a mother and she needs this additional fat for her pregnancy. Moreover women have a lesser lung capacity than men which gives them a low tolerance for exercise. Hence, women find it more difficult to lose weight.

Due to this problem, more and more companies are introducing new fat loss supplements for women which help them to lose weight. However, there are millions of fat loss supplements for women in the market. So, how does one choose? What are the essential characteristics or properties of supplements which will help women to lose weight? Let us examine the issue in a bit more detail!

Here are some information about the top natural and safe fat burning supplements:

1. Hoodia Gordonii is one of the world's known herbal supplements. Since it is made from Mother Nature's produce, it is all natural and side effects, if any, are minimal. The herb is known for its appetite suppressing benefit. It is indeed a good supplement. The problem is, there are almost a hundred of counterfeit or fake Hoodia products that are out in the market now. If you want to use this herb, look for genuine supplements and forget the questionably cheap ones.

2. Acai berry is known as a wonder fruit because of all the nutrients and minerals that are contained in it. As a weight loss product, the fruit is promoted for its antioxidants, which are known to be twice as much as any other berries or fruits. The same antioxidants cleanse the body from toxins, waste, and fat. It is also known as a metabolism booster. When looking for Acai berry products look for genuine ones and those that pair up the supplement with exercise and patronize healthy eating habits as well.

3. The green tea is taken as it is a tea drink. It is known for its antioxidants which is twice as much as other teas. Nowadays, there are green tea supplements out in the market as well. They can be in the form of tea extracts, pills, and capsules too. When choosing this weight loss product, going for all organic and natural green tea drink is better.
4. Water is one of the most natural fat loss supplements for women
Water is a natural appetite suppressant as well. Moreover, when you drink water, you help your cells to get hydrated. The hydrated cells become active and enhance the rate of metabolism. Moreover, the kidneys also work well with adequate hydration. Enough water in the body helps in eliminating wastes at a faster rate, which helps the liver to burn fat. Hence, as researches have shown that water is a great fat loss supplement for women, these days a lot of water based drinks are available in the stores. Most of these drinks are rich in minerals and vitamins which aid in increasing the basal metabolic rate. These drinks are called smart water drinks since they really don't have calories and are full of nutrients which aid the body in its weight loss efforts.

5. Meal replacements or meal supplements are also a different kind of fat loss supplements for women

These meal replacements are rich in all kinds of nutrients. Hence they provide you with the required nutrients while ensuring the maximum absorption by the body. Moreover, they eliminate the need to cook food since they are more or less liquid foods.

6. Fat burners can work as fat loss supplements for women

However, not many people understand the true nature of fat burners. Fat burners are no magic wands to remove your unwanted lard. They are actually energy boosters which help you to work out harder and work more. Hence, fat burners are great for women who want to lose fat by burning out in the gym. With fat burners women can work out longer and harder and burn more calories.

These are some of the well known fat loss supplements for women which can help them in realizing their weight loss dreams. These fat loss supplements along with the right kind of diet like the fat loss 4 idiots diet can help you to achieve the body of your dreams!

  8. QUESTION:
    What are some good fat burning supplements?
    Plese only give me only answers with powder or non-pill supplements. I am on a weight lifting routine, cardio, and I have a balanced diet of good protein sources with a lot of fiber and healthy fats and carbs. I just need something that would help me achieve my goals in a more desirable time frame.

    • ANSWER:
      Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat.

      Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It's an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that you diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It's really great to stop food cravings.

      Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.

  9. QUESTION:

  11. QUESTION:
    How do I lose these love handles through dietary means? Do fat burning supplements work?
    I am 34 and trying to get back in shape. I look good all around but I just cant get rid of these love handles.
    Currently, I am running, playing tennis, jump rope, dieting, drinking 2-3 glasses of water a day.
    Are there certain foods that destroy fat?

    I appreciate your tips.

    • ANSWER:
      First, I'm glad to read that you're taking positive steps to improve your health. Secondly, please note that spot reducing doesn't work. Your body loses fat 'all over' rather than in sections. Finally, losing weight requires both exercise and caloric restriction. Since you're going to be doing both, keep the following in mind (it's what I've told people for over 2 decades in my practice):

      1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

      2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.

      3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

      4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

      5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

      6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

      7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

      8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.

      Keep up the good work. I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

      As for what to take, that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level.

      There are supplements and foods that help to counter the production and absorption of fat (chitosan, certain Omega's) but you may or may not need them to be successful.

    thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Fat burning pills work on the idea is that doing cardio at an increased body temperature shall make you burn more white fat.

      Supplements claim to statically increase your metabolism... This is usually rubbish

      Well the pill that does work is ephedrine ..which is a thermogenic... but its illegal in the US, because people who didn't know better were abusing it. Its legal in Canada (if under 8mg/pill) and you can buy it online. It's normally "stacked" ; taken in conjunction with caffeine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECA_stack

      Theres lots of claims about heart attacks etc.. but it can be used safely and effectively.. if you're already at a normal weight and are just hoping to get more cut. This is NOT for overweight people and should not be used over long periods.

      Other kinds of legal thermogenics can be effective as well .. and contain octopamine or synephrine labelled as bitter orange.. In effect these are the same as ephedrine but not illegal yet .. but the same precautions apply.

      Most supplements don't work at all.. so theres no point. Green tea extract contains catechins and does work to an extent provided you diet is good and you do regular cardio..

      Another product which does work "statically" is Conjugated linoleic acid called CLA, but this is particularly unsafe .. (more so than ephedrine in my opinion) because of the trans-10, cis-12 (t10c12)
      isomer which manufacturers include in their formulations.

      Acetyl-L-carnitine also has some positive effects... is generally very safe but not particularly effective

  18. QUESTION:
    Are fat burning supplements bad for you?
    products like apedexin and whatever else is out there.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, those stuff can never be safe, any thing you buy from the drug store that concerns fat burning/muscle growth CANNOT be safe

      The best and the only safe way is to lay off the junk fatty food and hit the gym

    Supplements for burning fat and gaining lean muscle?
    I am mainly trying to lose weight, but at the same time I want to build some lean muscle. I do cardio and lift weights 6 days a week. Right now I am taking protein and creatine, along with lipo 6 which is a fat burner. I was wondering if there are any other supplements that would help me reach my goal which is ultimately losing 80 pounds and building lean muscle. Any help not regarding supplements would be very welcome as well. Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi
      Therefore, it is important that you make sure your body is stocked with the right muscle building diet to help in your goal of a leaner, more muscular look. Here are a few muscle gaining diet tips to help you build a diet that is sure to fuel that metamorphosis in your body.

      1. Lean meat. Lean meat is rich in protein and is a good basic building block for more muscle. Meat such as steak and other protein-rich foods has been a staple of many bodybuilding experts for over the past few decades. However, make sure you avoid the fat as it could compromise your bodybuilding goals.

      2. Fiber rich foods. Fiber has long been known to help those wanting to lose weight. First of all, it prevents the body from absorbing too much fat. And, it also helps lower cholesterol and is a source of slow-burning carbohydrates, which is ideal for those wanting to lose weight.

      Examples of fiber rich grains are oatmeal, wheat, vegetables and fruits. You could also buy them as supplements at any health store.

      3. Water. Most professional bodybuilders go on diuretics just lose body liquids so that there muscle cuts can be more pronounced. However it is important for anyone going for in the look to drink enough water since workouts deplete natural body fluids.

      4. Soybeans. Soybeans are a great source of protein and are low in fat and contain virtually no cholesterol. Many have been heralding soybean as one of the saviors of muscle building and weight loss.

      It can be eaten as tofu, bean curd desserts and others. It is also cheap and easy to procure.

      5. Whey protein. Whey protein is ready available at any health shop. It can be taken in as a supplement and mixed with soups, vegetables, and shakes. Whey protein is easy to absorb and is one of the best sources of protein available.

      6. Egg whites. The protein of eggs resides in its egg whites. So, if you want to bulk up and get your protein from eggs, eat the whites and avoid the yellow part of the egg. You may also want to purchase processed egg whites from help stores. They are also good sources of protein.

  23. QUESTION:
    Fat burning supplements - Effective ?
    I have been continuing to follow my diet and exercises regime for over 2 months now. I use an online trainer from bodybuilding.com and find all tips helpful. I currently take protein powder and creatine (as well as multivitamins, omega fats and glucosamine sulphate). The trainer recommends using fat burning supplements ,e.g. tablets. I can only now afford these supplements. I want to know if they actually work and if so which ones are best. If you can please link a site (preferably bodybuilding.com) where i can puschase them.
    Thanks again.

    • ANSWER:
      Taking supplements and vitamins will get more effective if you have proper diet and exercise. Easier said than done! Additionally, it is important to focus on fat loss as opposed to just weight loss, since nobody has a reason to want to lose lean muscle tissue. I found out some resources that may help you.

  24. QUESTION:
    What are some natural supplements that are good for fat burning or metabolic increase?
    What are some natural (herbal) supplements that are good for fat burning or metabolic increase for people who are concerned about their blood pressure?

    • ANSWER:
      The biggest one is actually a mineral called Chromium (which is also in most multivitamins). It helps to boost glucose metabolism among others, so it helps with energy and is often used by Diabetics because of that... but it can be too good for glucose in some cases, so Chromium has a warning to check with a healthcare provider if you're Diabetic/Hypoglycemic.
      There is also a natural product called CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which is a fat that helps to burn fat. It's a weird idea, but it works.

      There are other natural supplements that give energy that help you workout to burn more fat, but don't help your metabolism as directly. Also, exercising on a regular basis helps your body naturally increase metabolism on it's own. Exercising with those two supplements and/or a variety of others will definitely help to burn a lot of fat and are commonly used for weight loss.
      Of course, on the flip side, there is no magic pill that will let you burn fat while sitting on the couch watching TV... but once one is made, you know it'll be the hottest selling product. ;-) Good luck and I hope I helped!

  25. QUESTION:
    The effectiveness of fat burning supplements? That's not really a question?
    Anyone taking any fat burning supplements? I'm currently on Cellucor D4 but I'm having some abnormal side affects... I haven't been eating in three days when I'm normally eating all the time.

    Are there any fat burning pills that really go above and beyond expectations? Keep in mind that I'm not fat, I'm just trying to get more cut.

    Thanks in advance.

    What is the safest but most effective fat burning supplement on the market?
    With spring and summer coming up I was thinking about starting to take a fat burning supplement to help drop some pounds and slim down.

  28. QUESTION:
    Can taking a fat burning supplement get rid of the extra body fat while building mass?
    Because i was reading that when building mass you should have a 2:1 ratio (2lbs of muscle for every 1 pound of body fat) and i thought taking a fat burning supplement could get rid of the percentage of fat your gaining, while trying to build mass. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      This ratio is incorrect. There is not ratio of muscle to fat in 'weight'.

      A 2 to 1 ratio is common with protein for lb of weight.. IE: Intake 2grams of protein per lb of overall weight.

      You see it is not 'easy' to ascertain how many pounds of muscle anyone has on their body. Obtaining how much of your total body weight is fat is easier to derive, though still not easy to get exact.

      Generally you want a low body fat percentage. This is a percentage of your overall weight.

      Example, a low body fat and pretty 'cut/ripped' for someone 200lbs, would be 10%, or 20lbs of total fat.

      If one weighed 100lbs, it would be 10lbs.. 150lbs, it would be 15lbs and so on.

      Make sense?

      Anything over about 20 percent bodyfat is bordering on being slightly overweight. Alot of guys can have 21-25% bodyfat with a good amount of muscle on a broad frame and be far from overweight.. but they won't be 'cut'.

      Someone who was to cut from 25% body fat to say 10-13% would look dramatically different...

      Every 5% or so in bodyfat is a fairly considerable change in appearance.

      But to your direct question:

      Taking a fat burning supplement can help the metabolism while putting on mass, sure. The best thing is to do a few days of cardio. You can still put on a great deal of muscle mass even if you do say, 2 days of 30-45mins of cardio.

      Couple this with a diet that has enough calories to add mass, but not TOO much that you will be adding lots of fat with it.

      It IS possible to both gain muscle mass and cut fat at the same time.. especially in one who isn't already incredibly lean. Have a reasonable and strict diet, and workout program it should happen.

      If you notice a little fat accumulation you can adapt with cardio or diet adjustment. You don't HAVE to add fat for muscle to repair and build itself larger.

      It is just that it is easier to eat an abundance/overkill of calories while 'bulking' to gain size and strength. Then those who do this will go into a 'cut' phase where they up the cardio, make the diet really strict and generally lose some of their mass.. but only a small percentage. There is always some sacrifice this way. The cycle generally repeats over and over sometimes a few times a year.

      Then some generally stay in good form/shape with a balance of muscle/size gains and staying at a respectable body fat percentage.

      It is a misconception, basically, that you have to do one or the other and can't do both at the same time.

      If you are a hardgainer.. then generally your gains will be muscle mass anyhow. If you are the opposite, then you should have no problem gaining size and can go heavier on the diet restriction and cardio and still keep healthy strength and size gains.

      It all boils down to your daily intake of calories vs what you expend. Simple equation. Cardio and themogenics help target lypolisis (fat burning) more specifically than just allowing the body to burn both tissues muscle and fat as it tends to do. Though we can't target JUST fat.. we can only try to keep the environment in a positive nitrogen balance, anabolic state via diet, supplements, training schedule, and so on.

      Take care,

    Taking fat burning supplements with whey protein?
    I used to be obese. i am 5 foot 8 and used to be an obese piece of shit at a weight of 210. This was about 8 months ago and now I am about 145 pounds with defined muscle in the upper body and legs. I can feel my abs when i flex but only see them when I am not bloated at all. I have come to the point where nothing is working to get rid of the last chunk of belly fat. I diet properly and exercise HARD consisting of LONG distance runs, hard sprinting, and hard lifting with whey protein. I take part in boxing and I play soccer and football. I have gone through cycles of different diet plans and this chunk is still keeping me from showing off my body. I am now taking into consideration of taking OxyElite Pro which is the highest rated fat burning supplement on my favorite review website.

  31. QUESTION:
    Anyone know of any true fat burning supplements (pills, shakes or anything like that)?
    Hi all,
    i am looking for a fat burner. I'm an ex- football player, and my weight seems like it's locked at 255. I lift about 3 times a week and run. I know running is the key but i still seem to not be able to lose my gut and the extra weight on my legs. Like I can bench 405, squat 445, but I can't lose the gut.
    I have tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. I have heard of a few supplements that are meant to literally burn the fatty acids and lipids while you work-out as a source of energy, but I can't find anything that works, and I give everything about a month to show something.
    If anyone knows any new techniues or supplements, please let me know.

    • ANSWER:
      Bodies are made in the kitchen! You already know the importance of cardio, but i'm assuming as a football player, who works out as much as yourself, you probably eat a lot? and i'm assuming its not always the healthiest (especially if you celebrate a winning game or do wings + beer for sundays!). Make your diet LOW GLYCEMIC, high in lean protein and full of veggies aswell as combine it with interval training (combining short bursts of high intensity cardio with longer periods of low intensity cardio). Limit carbs, and the carbs you do eat should be WHOLE GRAIN RYE AND OR PUMPERNICKEL (nowhere in the label should it say enriched bleached flour). They are the lowest glycemic breads. Eating low glycemic reduces blood sugar spikes which inhibit fat loss. Also make sure the fat you DO eat comes from mono & polyunsaturated fats such as all-natural peanut butter,avocadoo, olive oil, and nuts. Before you know it, you'll burn off your gut.
      -----Xenical is approved by the US. as a supplement that reduces fatabsorptionn by 30%, "Alli" is the over the counter approved version sold in the US. The link is below. (Beware that while on this drug, the excess fat you DO eat comes out/leaks out asdiarrheaa.

    What are the best muscle building/fat burning supplements to take?
    I am a male that is about 70" in height, and I weight about 170. My BMI isn't bad at all, but I have a little too much fat in comparison to muscle. I don't want to be insanely ripped, I just want to be really tone and cut.

    I have worked out before and have taken whey protein after my workouts, but what other supplements do you recommend taking to build muscle and to burn fat fast? I will be doing a lot of free-weight exercises during my workouts, and I plan on alternating from upper body to lower body and so forth.

    Any tips on great workouts is welcome as well. Thanks a lot!

    I'm trying to burn some fat before my trip to Florida in a month.
    Dug - I know EXERCISE burns fat. I'm looking for something to take in combination with exercise. I"m already at the gym.

    • ANSWER:
      I was about to buy diet pills months ago, until I read that your weight can balloon to double after stopping. Best recommendation is walk an hour a day. I found that to be easy and I lost the extra weight. But the main thing is, get off ALL the High fructose corn syrup. It makes you fat because your body can't metabolize it like regular sugar. It goes to your liver instead and makes fat. MSG also makes fat and keeps you hungry, just like corn syrup does. At best, even with pills and exercise, you will only loose 2 lbs a week, so you need to be patient. But eating right will keep you slim for the rest of your life.

      Hi Yadi,

      Centrino, Hydroxide, etc. is all a bad choice. The side effects (and i know you probably dintt care about them) include depression, lack of energy, and teeth biting. Not to mention they are expensive as hell. I can guarantee that 30 min on a treadmill 3 times a week will have insanely better results than taking a supplement.

  44. QUESTION:
    Safe fat burning supplements, are there any?
    So, before the judgment starts let me say this: I have, for my whole life, maintained a regular exercise program and eaten healthy. My exercise consists of a blend of cardio, weight training, and yoga - usually 4-6 days per week. I am 5 feet tall, and weigh 112 pounds. According to the CDC, this is a healthy height/weight ratio.

    HOWEVER, here is my delimma: When I get my BMI tested, I have an unhealthy percentage of body fat. (by the electro-ma-jiggy method) Apparently this is known as "skinny fat".

    Outside of diet and exercise, how can I get my body fat percentage down to a healthy level and increase my lean muscle? I have never taken weight-loss supplements, but now I am seriously considering it. Most of what I have researched recommends weight training, which I already do 3-4 days per week.
    By eating healthy, I mean selecting nutrient-dense foods and monitoring my caloric intake.

    My height/weight has been the same for the last 10 years - since I was about 18.

    • ANSWER:
      Well, if there are safe supplements you would have no way of knowing for sure. The reason is simply. Supplements are not required to be tested. Beyond that, there are no fat burning supplements that work. There aren't every any good pharmaceuticals that work. Why do you think the US leads the developed world in obesity?

      The best health experts in the world (the US National Institute of Health), the people US doctors listen to, advise you should never take a supplement without the recommendation of a health care professional because all supplements are potentially hazardous to your health as supplements do not have to be tested. The result is many supplements are contaminated, worthless, have false advertising or label claims, and may contain dangerous or worthless chemicals or substances.

      Here's an example of one scam site (bodybuilding.com) which pretends to be a bodybuilding website but is really just a front for selling supplements as evidenced by this list of over 60 dangerous supplement products they were forced to recall and take off the market --> http://www.usrecallnews.com/2009/11/bodybuilding-com-supplements-recalled-may-contain-steroids.html . More here --> http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm188957.htm?nav=rss

      Bodybuilding.com is a good example why you should never buy supplements whether you want to burn fat, gain weight, build muscle, or are just hoping to improve your health. The scammers who sell junk supplements do so by using advertising, celebrity endorsements, fake testimonials, phony interviews and news reports, bogus reviews, and every other technique possible to convince you their product is safe and effective. They have saturated the internet with thousands of web sites so no matter what you search for, you'll only find glowing reviews of their products at the top of the search results. And, the result of this effort has led an entire generation of young people to believe in fat burners, diet pills, mass gainers, pre and post workout supplements and other junk which not only do we not need but which are ineffective, a waste of money, and possibly even hazardous. The voice of truth is relatively quite compared to the $billions spent on supplement advertising, so before you buy any supplements, inform yourself with the links below.

      Scammers target the young, gullible, and naive demographic because they know they can sway them with greater ease than the older, wiser buying public. But, there are some easy questions you can answer using simple logic to be able to qualify a scammer as suspect. Here are some examples.

      • If there was an easy way to do hard things like burn fat or build muscle, why doesn't the whole world know about it? How could that be kept secret when that's what so many people desire?

      • If there was a supplement that helped people shed pounds, why doesn't your doctor recommend it? If you're overweight, why doesn't your physician just give you the pill or recommend the acai or HCG diet or whatever? Why are physicians always telling the same story about obesity and how to cope with it?

      • If there were supplements that could help burn fat or build muscle, why haven't the huge and powerful pharmaceutical companies taken them over? Why let the scammers like GNC and Weider continue to make $millions off the public when they have a much greater capacity for providing such products?

      • Why do people pay big bucks to have liposuction or stomach stapling if supplements could really help them to lose fat?

      There is only one good answer to all of these questions. Most of the supplements which are supposed to make you lose fat, add muscle, grow taller, kill appetite, gain weight, bulk up, get ripped, etc. just don't work. It's really that simple.

      If you just can't resist buying a supplement, at the very least make sure it bears the trademark logo and name of one of the following independent testing laboratories.
      • USP (US Pharmacopoeia)
      • ComsumerLab.com
      • NSF (NSF International)
      Such testing does not guarantee effectiveness or safety but it's better than nothing. The best advice remains: Don't use supplements.

      You don't need to weight train. Just eat right and you can lose fat. Calorie control is the key. You can burn fat in your sleep and run all day and not burn an ounce all depending on your intake. Be smart.

      Good luck and good health!!

Ive been looking into things like hydroxycut and the like, but the people that they show that were supposed to have had results always look fake. Can anyone with legit success please refer me to something I can take to burn fat?

    • ANSWER:
      I haven't and they have an iffy reputation...
      "Theory
      There are a number of diet pills that are available and they each have different ways of working. Some block fat absorption from the intestines, and other work to suppress appetite. "Fat-burning" pills, on the other hand, typically work to increase metabolism. Most of these work as stimulants that temporarily boost metabolism and suppress appetite.

      There is no overall regulation of these products. Unlike prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs, fat-burning pills are "supplements" and thus can be marketed and sold based on studies that the manufacturer has performed. In addition, these medications often contain many different compounds, some of which may not be listed."

    • ANSWER:
      I know Alli is a good supplement to take since it will help block the fat from your body. But, if you are working out alittle bit. A caffeine pill will do the trick for you since it does bring your heart rate up like the rest of the supplements do. Just check the labels, most either have green team guarana, or caffeine.

  50. QUESTION:
    Should I take a fat burning supplement while trying to gain muscle?
    I don't really want to gain fat. Will I still be able to gain at the same rate?

    • ANSWER:
      If you are trying to gain muscle stay away from fat burning supplements (Stacker 2, etc.) Those things will speed up your heart rate and that is the last thing you want when you are getting your "pump on". Don't worry if you eat reasonably then you won;t have to worry about gaining fat. The only reason Bodybuilders take Fat Burning Supplements is to shed small amounts of fat quickly before a meet. ( Remember, fat is what cushions your vital organs. 90% of bodybuilders you see today in pictures would have a HIGH mortality rate if they slipped and fell.)
      Eat foods like chicken, pork, beef, yogurt, cottage Cheese, fruit, veggies, mushrooms, eggs... all of these foods will ensure that you don't ingest an unhealthy amount of FAT.
