Has anyone ever taken the summplement X-Rated? If so, what were your results? It is always advertised at Hi-Health. I have taken Hydroxycut; is it similar? IS one better than another? Thanks!

Not sure about X-rated I don’t use stuff like that, I did a lot of research and found that fat loss comes from exercise (particularly cardio) and a controlled diet. There are only a few people (who are really fanatical about training and already do every thing else right) who get any benefits from supplements. People who think they are a quick and easy solution buy the bulk of them. Sorry but it dose not exist, the only reason we hear so much about them is because it’s a good way to make money.

As for the normal diet Vs. normal diet & supplement showing fat loss it is almost always flawed evidence. It is not done with a placebo supplement so is not medically sound. Most of the weight loss also comes from people caring more about their diet, which can be done without expensive pills. Also look carefully at the scales on the results graphs they are often very misleading, giving the impression of huge gains when even there fixed trial gave flawed results. I dropped my %bf by 12% since last summer no supplements and the diet I was on was not painful, and my body weight stayed the same as I was also making muscle gains.
