Thermogenic question?

Jeremy0280 Posts: 19 Joined: 2002/01/19	2002/02/14, 04:33 PM I was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not products such as hydroxycut and ripped fuel eat away lean muscle tissue? I have asked this question before and nobody responded please help. Thanks

As far as the main question being asked, it is theoretically possible for the fat burner to go after lean muscle tissue if it cannot find the calories to burn. However, one can avoid this by just consuming the recommended number of calories based on their goal. The fat burner just helps burn the fat that much faster.

Jeremy, if you want to loose only fat then be sure of eating enough protein in your diet (at least 2-3 protein shakes as well), moderate carbs and essentiel fat (don't forget that you need fat to burn fat....) Without exercise, it'll not work so weight training and cardio is needed as well. As product, I use Thermonol from GEN (has anybody heard about that one?!!) Finally, fat burners can be used for a certain period, don't always count on them.
