There are no pills that you can take that will help you "increase your metabolism and burn fat."  Caffeine is a good substance to utilize if you are looking for some assistance.  It will help increase fatty acid mobilization and you'll be able to prolong your workouts thus creating a higher caloric deficit.

just recently the FDA warned 16 manufacturers of weight loss supplements for making exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their products. \n\n"These products give unfounded hope to people who are attempting to lose weight. False and misleading claims have significant health consequences to individuals that may be overweight because these products do not produce the desired results..."\n\n\nWhat Are Fat Burners?\n\nFat burners are essentially pills which contain certain herbal ingredients such as Ephedra, HCA, Chitosan and Pyruvate, all of which claim to either increase energy, stimulate your metabolism and/or suppress your appetite. \n\nThe Dirt on Fat Burners \n\nChitosan \n\nWhat it is: A substance derived from the external skeletons of marine animals, such as crabs (ew!) \nWhat it does: Chitosan binds to fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which prevents the body from absorbing them. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Diet Fuel With Chitosan, Biotech's Fat-B-Gone With Chitosan \nShould you take it? That's up to you. First, there's a concern that Chitosan impairs absorption of carotenoids which the body converts into vitamin A. Second, most experts agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work. A handful of studies suggest that Chitosan might help trim fat, but these studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA. For more info, see WebMD's take on Chitosan. \nEhpedra \n\nWhat it is: A powerful herb grown in Mongolia and China. Ephedrine (an extract of Ephedra) is an amphetamine-like compound which stimulates the nervous system and heart. \nWhat it does: An effective treatment for asthma, allergies, and sinus problems. Usually marketed for weight loss, performance enhancement, energy, or body building. \nWhere it lives: The Original Formula One, Ripped Fuel, Muscletech's Hydroxycut \nShould you take it? Um, not without some good research. Since 1994 the FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with products containing Ephedra. These include: high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes and death. What's scary is that many of these problems occurred in young/middle aged, healthy adults who used it for weight loss. The problem often stems from mixing ephedrine with caffeine, a big no-no. Check out the Department of Health & Human Services for detailed info on the problems with Ephedra. \nPyruvate\n\nWhat it is: HCRC defines Pyruvate as: "a three-carbon (triose) ketoacid produced in the end stages of glycolysis." Translation: Pyruvate is a product of sugar metabolism. \nWhat it does: Marketers claim it can increase fat and weight loss, reduce cholesterol, and improve endurance. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Pyruvate Fuel, Pinnacle Pyruvate 500 \nShould you take it? William Sukala, an expert trainer at Health Care Reality Checks says: "The minuscule doses available in commercial supplements have not been proven effective in any available research." Basically, the research that has been done doesn't support marketers' claims. It seems safe right now, but, like everything else, needs further study. \nHCA (Hydroxycitrate) \n\nWhat it is:A natural food substance extracted from the fruit of the Garcina cambogia tree grown in southern India. \nWhat it does: HCA supposedly curbs appetite and increases glycogen storage without affecting muscle or energy levels. \nWhere it lives: No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, MicroSlim, and Body Busters (among others) \nShould you take it? Not unless you enjoy wasting your money. According to a study published in JAMA, HCA is ineffective for weight loss. \nConclusion\nAs you can see, the research on fat burners is sketchy at best. No one can say with any certainty that fat burners work or if they are safe to take over a long period of time. What is a proven method of weight loss is exercise coupled with a healthy, low-calorie

Chromium helps stop your craving\n\nhttp://www.ultimatefatburner.com/natural-weight-loss/chromium.html\n\nThe site reads:\n\n"Chromium picolinate (actually, just about any sort of chromium will do, although the newer and more effective chromium nicotinate is your best bet!), is probably one of my most favorite weight loss supplements. I'm very rarely without it. Best of all, chromium picolinate is cheap (less than $6.00 at our store), effective, and for those with carbohydrate-cravings, a veritable lifesaver.\n\nWhat does chromium picolinate or nicotinate do, exactly? Well, you may have seen ads claiming this miracle supplement will help build lean muscle and burn fat. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of evidence indicating this is the case. Nonetheless, chromium picolinate is far from a worthless supplement.\n\nChromium is an essential trace mineral that is found in tiny amounts in the typical diet. In fact, it's estimated that nearly 90% of North Americans are deficient in chromium. \n\nSo what, right? \n\nWrong.\n\nChromium plays an important part in insulin function - it helps insulin regulate blood sugar levels. It's also involved in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. What does thisreally mean to the average dieter? If you experience uncontrollable cravings for sweet or sugared foods, have periods of fatigue or irritability, or have difficulty concentrating throughout the day...\n\nYou're probably insulin resistant, or hypoglycemic. Basically, this means the body has difficulty dealing with vast amounts of blood sugar that are released quickly into the bloodstream as a result of the typical North American diet -- one filled with refined sugars and flours, saturated fats, and highly processed foods. This means the body is primed to store calories/glucose as fat.\n\nThere are two things you can do about this... first, eliminate junk foods, processed foods, and highly refined foods (including white breads, pastas, etc.), and replace them with high fiber grains, beans, and vegetables. Eat many small meals throughout the day, and always include a lean protein source (like chicken, turkey, fish, lean beef) with each meal. The other is to implement a chromium supplement into your diet. Here's a couple of quality products, courtesy of my favorite online store...\n\nTwinlab's Mega Chromium Picolinate\n\nTwinLab Chromium Picolinate\n\nIn fact...\n\nChromium picolinate (again, any decent chromium supplement will work well), is something I suggest you look into making a cornerstone of *any* further dieting efforts (200 mcg no more than 2-3 times a day, otherwise you run the risk of toxicity). When I was experiencing cravings for high-sugar/high fat junk foods, I was only able to combat these cravings with sheer determination and willpower. And of course, every few days, I'd be unable to control myself, and eat half a bag of Oreos (or something similar). \n\nChromium picolinate eliminated these cravings virtually overnight - to the point where the really intense cravings were no longer something I experienced. I kid you not... my favorite supplement!\n\nSpecial Note: I've recently become very impressed with alpha lipoic acid as an alternative to chromium. Please click here to read the review of alpha lipoic acid."

ephadrine with a caffine and asprin stack is about the most powerful legal fat burner. it is also an exteremly good appetite suppressant\nhydroxycut is a good but not as effective substitute.\nthere are many illegal steriod based products eg winstrol and clenbuterol, but you really need to aviod them unless you know what you're doing.\nfailing that a coke or meth ampetamine addiction will shed those pounds...just kidding.\ni will happily give you some advice on some of these if you need it. a lot of them can have serious side effects (i know you say you don't care but i'm not sure you really know the full n side effects). contact me if i can help you further.

vitamins can help I have a book called "prescription for nautral cures" by james f. balch m.d. and mark stengler n.d. \n\n  CLA 3.4grams (conjugated linoleic acid)- it reduces body fat composition. and a ramdon double blind study involving 60 overweight people adding this vitamin to their diet had a significantly higher reduction in body fat mass compared to others taking placebo.\n  green tea- 1500 mg increases you bodys ability to burn energy by thermogenesis. green tea doen contain caffeine which may be some part of the benefit.\n 5-HTP - reduces carb cravings and imporves satiety. this supplement is not reccomended if u are using anti depressants/anxiety meds.\n  chromium 500mcg  twice daily-helps with blood sugar balance and sweet cravings\n   L-carnitine 500-1000 mg 3x daily -- invloved with burning fat as a fuel source for the cells\n  1tbsp of flaxseed oil or 3 grams of fish oil daily and 100mg of GLA --essiential fatty acids are required to burn fat as fuel\n\nalso recommended -lots of fiber, and whole grains. they keep you feeling fuller longer\ndrink a glass of veggie juice before meals \ndrink a glass of water every 2 hours upon waking\ndont skip meals and eat smaller meals more often instead of eating large meals 3x a day\n\n\nfoods to avoid: refined sugar (cookies, icecream,soda,white bread,crackers etc) processed and junk food, refined flour\n\nHope this is helpful to you.\nA faster way than this is all this plus moderate exercise 4-5 x a week and for at least 40min.\n\nwith all the pills and shakes in the world i personally think work outs are a very fast way if you are doing the right type for your shape and stick with it. stacker 2 or hydroxycut  gives one hell of a boost to do tae bo for an hour.

Capsules!!!\n\nPersonally I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best! \n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nI tried many diet pills/shakes/bars with no or little results. \n\nThan I tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

Ha, that's a good one.  Do some searches on ogoplex, roplex, and viacil supplements.  There's a combination of saw palmetto and other herbs that actually can work very well...maybe not quite Peter North well but it makes a difference.  Also - testosterone boosting supplements help as well.  Vitrix is one of the high quality/potency tribulus tablets that is used for promoting muscle growth.  It works by tricking your body into creating more testosterone.  I think you can see the correlation here.  I have a few friends in their 50's that are swearing by this combination, as well as adding some L-arginine or nitric oxide supplements.  It worked well enough to get them to give up the viagra, so I'd say it's pretty effective.

I just saw a segment on tv about Hoodia. It is a leaf of a plant that African warriors eat while out on a hunt, because it suppresses their appetite..so in that situation it works. HOWEVER, the doctor who I saw on this segment said that you have to be sure you are getting authentic Hoodia because some companies are passing off other things as Hoodia. He didn't explain, or I don't remember him explaining, how you could tell. My opinion is this, the good old fashioned exercise and change of diet is your best option for weight loss. How did all those women back in the day remain so thin and healthy without Atkins, South Beach or Hoodia? :::::shutter:::::

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

i swear by hydroxycut, it helped me lose a fair amount of stubborn weight. i've also used ephedrine, but it was banned by the FDA, i'm not sure if it still is but its hard to get.\ni got results which i liked, i've heard a lot of people say that its all fake and only has a placebo effect, but who cares as long as it helps.
