Fat Burners: Myths, Lies, Truths and Everything You Need To Know!
There can be no denying – dieting sells! When you can market something as a fat boosting pill, you’ll sell products. People are desperate for a quick fix and when you can promise them that they’ll burn fat just by popping a pill you know you’re going to get their interest. Sadly, marketing people have seen this increase in sales trend and now scream even louder what these miracles can do!

In this article we want to take a look at the cold hot facts. That doesn’t mean that we think all fat burners are bad, or marketed on lies. Instead we want to look at the good and bad in these products, give you the information that is available and help you make an informed decision as to what product you want to take.

When you start to look at fat burning products you’ll find that many of them make miracle claims – however, most of the time these have been based on rats and there is no proof that humans will see the same fantastic results. To make it easier for you, this article is broken down into the good, the bad and the ugly so you can easily find out what you need to know when it comes to these fat burning pills.

The Good

5-HTP

Many people might be surprised to see a product by Dr Oz. recommended on here, but actually when you use it right it can work. Unfortunately when you read the instructions given by Dr. Oz they’re not as efficient as they could be, so we have added our own rules in. Actually 5-HTP is more affective with reducing hunger rather than having built in fat burning properties. If you’re clinical abuse then you’ll probably see the best results from this drug. You’ll need to take up to 500mg doses so you can really only use it for a limited time.

Caffeine

You might not realise it, but caffeine is actually a great way to boost your fat burning chances. Firstly you’ll find that it increases your energy levels – so you’ll be more active which we all know is a great way to lose weight. Secondly if you’re using other fat burners then you’ll find that caffeine makes these more affective. Some people have intolerance to caffeine , so you’ll need to be careful with how much you drink if this is you.

Green Tea Extract

Many people market their green tea products as a fat burner that works across the board for everyone, but that is not the case at all. Actually it really depends on your body’s own make up and your ethnicity as to how much positive effective your see because of this. That said, it can help to suppress hunger. If you find yourself overly tired when you start drinking green tea or using green tea products then it is unlikely to be effective and you should probably stop taking it.

Fat-Burners

The Lies

Green Coffee Extract

It is easy to assume that because green tea extract is good for you and caffeine is good for you that green coffee extra will be too! However actually the only research that has been done into this product has been carried out by companies that stand to make large amounts of money if it does well – so how much can they be trusted? Results seem to be positive for reducing blood pressure but the effectiveness beyond that, especially when it comes to fat burning is still quite unknown/uninvestigated.

7-Keto

Most of the studies that have been done around this product involves mixing it with a bunch of nutrients – so you can’t really trust the results that have been given. Another study done was carried out by companies with 7-keto products, so obviously they’ll want the results to be favourable. The evidence so far does look quite good, but are reasonably inconclusive. Rather than go for something that is still up in the air, you should go for something that is much more reliable and consistence in its results.

Raspberry Keytones

There have been several looks at raspberry keytones and how effective they could be at burning fat – sadly though the studies have always been slightly skewed. One study showed it helped with health hair grown and another it was used with a dozen other ingredients, so there is no way in telling which helped the most! Mostly raspberry keytones for fat burning is all marketing hyped and it is something that should be avoided.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid

When you look into the studies around Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) you’ll generally get back two results – either you’ll find people telling you it could help you burn weight or you’ll get telling people it could cause weight gain. In there are no solid studies which prove it either way so you’re generally best off staying well away from it – unless you want to inadvertently end up gaining weight. You are far better off using a fat burning product that has proven results rather than playing roulette with one that no one is sure about. Ugly

Fucoxanthin

Studies have shown that Fucoxanthin is definitely healthy, but the effectiveness in actually burning fat is still questionable. One of the down sides of Fucoxanthin is the fact that it is so expensive – and you’ll get at least equal results if not better from a less expensive product. There is evidence that obese menopausal women will lose eight but there is nothing to say that this will happen over a long period of time or that it is literally just down to Fucoxanthin itself. If you want to use Fucoxanthin then you’ll also need to use it over a much longer period of time which means that the expense soon adds up!

White Kidney Bean Extract:

When white kidney bean extract was first introduced into the market it was used to stop the absorption of carbohydrates into the body. This did show some results when it was introduced decades ago but since then it has been looked into in more detail and results really are inconclusive. There are now much more effective carb blockers on the market (such as salacia reticulata, morus alba, or arcabose) and these could be worth considering instead. As a fat burner alone though, you probably won’t see great or reliable results from using white kidney bean extract.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The best thing you can do is read up on the fat burner product that you are interested in, so you can be sure that whatever you invest your money in it is something that is worthwhile. There are lots of products on the market that are over hyped so you’ll need to be careful and make sure you use something that has effective results.
