A Fat Burner Question for EXPERIENCED users only.?
353317
Fat burners are not a waste of money for people that need a bit of an edge.  Yes, it is true that diet and the right exercise plays a huge role in reducing body fat, but fat burners DO WORK for many people if you take them correctly.  They do help kick start your metabolism especially if taken in the morning on an empty stomach followed by aerobic activity.  I've tried all the one's you mentioned and others.  Some may make you feel more jittery and others outright nauseous.  They all pretty much do the same thing.  I found HotRox to be fairly effective for me, but Hydroxycut also works well.  Lipo6 made me feel a bit nauseous if I take the dosage they recommend, but it works well too.\n\nDon't get hung up on brands as they all are fairly equivalent.  It's how you take them, when you take them, what you do after you take them and what you eat that is far more important than the brand of fat burner.  That I guarantee.

How bout a real answer to your question.\n\nThe only proven (not by the FDA- the FDA is in the pockets of the AMA and doctors want people fat because obesity is a huge money-maker) thermogenic (fat-burning) supplement, is the Caffeine, Ephedrine, Asprin stack.  Ephedrine was taken off the market for awhile but some is back.  It has to be this combo nothing else.  Look for Twinlabs Ripped Fuel, but there are several variaties make sure it has those three ingredients, they may use herbal names, look for white willow bark(aspirin), ma huang(ephedrine) and coca or something for caffeine.  There was also a product called Stacker 2, not sure if that is still available.  Trust me you have to have the 3 ingredients combined, they don't work without all 3.  This supplement is used by body-builders to burn the fat around the muscle to look more cut and by athletes because the fat burning gives you nice body energy.\n\nA diuretic will get rid of water weight but that doesn't change your body it just lowers weight.  Weight doesn't matter, if you weighed 300 pounds but had Jessica Simpson's body that would be ok wouldn't it?  Don't worry about weight worry about BMI (body-mass index) and how you look\n\nLike everyone else says you can't just do supplements and lay on the couch and eat Ruffles and burn fat.  You need to tone muscles so you have to exercise, and you need to take in only the amount of calories your body needs toburn for energy and no more or you'll burn fat and then just add it back with too much food intake. \n\nHope that helps.

You're fine.\n\nHere's the thing; you're going to get nowhere trying to exercise the muscles under the problem areas. Exercise your whole body. Also, you don't burn fat until the second half hour of exercise. It would be better to exercise for 2 hours once a week rather than 1/2 hour every day. Try it, the fat will melt away.

recommending 800-1000 cals a day, could potentially  be very dangerous for some people so, perhaps you shouldn't recommend it?\nhowever, cutting down on your sugar and cals ( to no less than 1400 cals) and increasing your excercise levels is a great idea. well done!

Assuming that the goal is to eliminate fat, the best exercises will use maximum muscles (butt and legs) have fairly low intensity- so slow,don't make yourself out of breath. and do it daily for 15 to 30 minutes at least.\njogging slowly, elipticals, or cross country skiing are the best fat burners.  Remember, go slow.

fresh veggies, all you can get.\n\nno more than 1200-1500 calories a day, you need to feel hungry nearly all the time.  OK, go crazy one day, have the ice cream, but then back to it.  No eating within 5hrs of bed, this is a model's mantra.  Empty the fridge of anything tasty.\n\nexcercise... multiple goals, no doubt.  walking is just about the best calorie burner for the buck.  Adding mass (muscle) will burn fuel faster (read increased metabolism), so as time permits, would add squats/lunges, and core resistance excercises.  Fat burning doesn't happen until the carbs are gone (30 minutes of walking), so weights first, walking second.\n\nMax safe weight loss goals, roughly 2lbs/week, you can do it, but it will be tight.

If you are trying to lose fat, you want both a low fat and low cal diet. Don't count on losing weight if you exercise though because you are likly to put on more pounds than you lose. \n\nIt takes around 500 calories to burn off one pound of fat, but fat is the last reserve of your body, so it takes a lot to get to it. \n\nTo get an estimate of how much you burn each day, consider that if you did nothing but sit, with some minimal walking, you would burn about 2000 calories. If you do the same thing, except for getting about 2 hours of heavy exercise, you'll burn about 3000 calories. You need about 2500 calories a day to avoid being hungery and to stay healthy.\n\nSo, a smart diet (around 2500 calories), and more than an hour of exercise daily, and you should slowly start seeing a difference. Don't expect it to go fast though. It takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to major changes in diet and exercise, and get to peak preformance.

restrict yourself to 1200 calories per day\nexercise for 30 mins each day\ndrink plenty of water\ni'm doing it right now,\nand i'm only a little bit lighter than you.\nnot by much.\nand i can do it -\nso, so can you. :)\n\nsend me an email\nmulldacity@yahoo.com\nmaybe we can encourage eachother on!\n\n♥\n\nPS:\n\nChromium is bollocks - it'll help a little, true, but I don't think that person understands what it means for the truly overweight. I've taken it before, and unless you eat healthy and exercise, it's not going to really give you any noticable difference.\n\nAnd yeah. Trainers? Pfft. Why? I play DDR for about 30 mins,  workout mode, heavy, then I do floor exercises until I'm tuckered out.

i've used hydroxycut many times.\npersonally i swear by it. i find its very good for either the start of the diet or for burning off the last stubborn fat.\ni know you'll hear a lot of people go on about it being rubbish and not working, and maybe its all in the mind, either way if it helps then who cares.\npersonally i'd recommend it to anyone.\ncoupled with a good diet and exercise i know that i burnt more fat than without it.

Are you sure that it is all fat and some of it isn't fluid retention? If some of it may be water/fluid. I would cut out fizzy drinks, diuretics like coffee etc, too much salt, this kind of thing has worked for me.  For the fat, less calories in more energy out = fat loss       As an afterthought Liposuction is horribly invasive yuk. Proper stomach exercises can and do work, using several different types of stomach exercises, to work all the muscles.  I also recommend doing the exercises every other day so the new muscle can rebuild itself and building up the reps. On the other day do some aerobic activity (even if it just a brisk walk, I find exercising daily keeps motivation levels up and endorphins flowing.)   It gets easier. PLUs good luck

I'm tired of people condescendingly saying all you have to do is eat less and exercise. Yes, that may work for YOU, but does NOT work for everyone. I tried everything (yes, including regular exercise!) and finally had to stop taking a prescription that I knew was preventing weight loss (I always research meds before taking them). I knew my thyroid was low but it was not low enough to treat medically so I got no help there. Finally my GP gave me phentermine and I have lost 42-43 pounds in a year. It is not a magic pill. You still have to eat less and exercise, but it makes those two things effective. In the long run you do have to develop healthier habits.  And stay away from soy. It suppresses your thyroid, which controls your metabolism.

1) No food burns fat, except on those late-night infomercials!\n\n2) You burn CALORIES not FAT.  While it is true that intense exercise burns the most calories AND the most fat, it is hard to maintain for long periods.  Low to moderate aerobic exercise such as running, walking, cycling, XC skiing etc are good long-duration calorie burners.\n\nThere is a misunderstanding that lower intensity workouts burn more fat.  Not true, they burn a greater PERCENTAGE of fat.  At higher intensities you burn more glycogen and less fat.  Either way you are more concerned with the number of CALORIES you burn.  Fat is essentially stored calories.\n\nThe important thing is to choose an exercise you ENJOY and can do often.  If you hate the workout, it just ain't gonna happen.

Hi Im on the lipotrim now and ive lost 13lbs in less than 4 weeks. It requires a lot of willpower and you will just be having shakes, mousse or soup and no food. People say its bad for you but how bad can going from obese to overweight be? Surely weighing less is better for you than struggling with a diet where you only lose a pound a week and getting bored. Ive stuck to this cos it actually works and I can see the results when I try clothes on and look in the mirror

People often overestimate calories they burn during exercise and underestimate the number of calories they take in.  If you are really serious about losing weight,  I think the most important thing you need to do is know exactly how many calories you are taking in and how many you are burning.  If you take in less, you are guaranteed to lose fat stores.  You body fat percentage is a better indicator of your health then your weight…since muscle weighs more than fat.  My advice is to start using www.fitday.com  Track everything you eat, down to the spoonful of sugar that you put in your coffee or that peppermint you popped in your mouth.  In addition to being able to track what you eat, you can also record your exercise.  When you enter exercise the website will adjust your total calories that you can have for the day. I guarantee you, look at what the website says your total calories should be and then take in 500 less and you WILL lose fat.\n\nAnother point is try not to restrict your calories by more than about 600 to 700 below what you can have for the day.  Severe calories restrictions are unhealthy!  Lose the weight somewhat slowly and in the meantime learn how to eat to maintain your body weight (once you are where you want to be).  \n\nDo not go on any diet where you are eating less than 1000 calories per day. Even if you only weigh 100 pounds you should still be eating at least 1000. Your body will not get the nutrition it needs to stay healthy.  Not to mention you will lose a lot of muscle in the process ..which you don't want to do.\n\nAlso, when determining how many calories you burn during exercise, do not go by what the gym equipment is telling you, it is often inflated. Just enter your activity in fitday or you can use this website  http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/jumpsite/calculat.htm

It's impossible to reduce fat in a site specific manner due to an exercise.That's referred to as spot reduction,it's a myth.Any form of exercise done on  regular basis,combined with a proper diet will help.\nFirst you have to cut calories below what you actually use during the day.You can find that number by calculating your basal metabolic rate.Just start doing an exercise routine you think you can stick with You'll see results in time.\nLook up spot reduction myth if you don't believe me.

Unfortunately there is no pill that burns fat.  The only way to burn fat is to do something cardiovascular that will burn the fat the natural way.  Our bodies aren't made to be able to take a pill and burn it off!  Bummer huh! Taking walks at a brisk pace, or using a dvd at home,(alot of good ones online now) or joining a gym is your best bet.  Sorry, wish there was something like this, that industry is making billions on something that doesn't work.

Once you pass 20 minutes, you go from burning calories to burning the fat along with it.\nIf you are doing 3 times/week, then go for 25-45 minutes, depending on How you feel at the time. I would suggest going 4 times/ week, at 30 minutes/each time. the best way to answer your question is to tell you to listen to your own body. How much You like to eat, are you an indulger, like myself, Do you see and feel a difference in your physique, all of these wll help you to map out what works best for you.\nHave a great day, and I love to hear that other people are out there running and taking the iniciative to take care of themselves!!!!
