Do Fat Burners REALLY work?

nbh101 Posts: 39 Joined: 2002/01/27	2002/02/15, 08:03 AM I was thinking about getting some but man, that stuffs expensive. Does it really work? Will I see results with a decent diet and a tough 1.5 hour workout, 3 times a week? I'm already using creatine, whey protein, and glutamine and that stuff wasn't cheap either. I just don't want to spend all this money on snake oil. Thanks.

They can help you loosing weight (by burning more calories) but don't take them for more than a certain period since your body just will get use to it. Diet and training is also needed if you want results.

I know I know, i was naieve but it seemed like a good idea at the time! Try dpsnutrition.com, they seem to have pretty good prices on the stuff.

They can really help raise your metabolic rate during cardio for example, and help you go longer. They also are decent for an energy boost. But they are no magic potion. Without the diet and exercise, they will do little except give you a bit of a buzz. I personally have a hard time with them,they make me jittery and nervous. If I use them at all it is when I am in contest training and already at a pretty low BF%, for that final push. Has anyone else noticed the ephedra free ones seem to do nothing? Not sure...If anyone has had any luck with these, I would sure like to hear about it.

Problem is some of these "weightlifting" pills are HUGE! I sometime have a hard time swallowing them. Are they the same size, bigger smaller? Can you break them open and take them?

I hate to advertise a companies products, but I have to say, for a pure energy stimuli for prior to training, I have found nothing compares to Dymetradine Extreme. Pretty awesome stuff...and I am in no way compensated by them!! LOL....
