    Hey all

    Was just chatting to a friend about fat burning tablets...

    He was telling me that they boost your metabolize and a lot of other stuff...

    But my question is, is there any hard science behind these products as I'm very very sceptical...

    But he has spend €40 on one of these products and I'd like to take the piss out of him and if there is any proof as to if/or how they work

    Cheers in advance

    Saw an ad on the TV about them. Looks too good to be true, so I'm highly sceptical about them. Seems they "give you energy when you need it, and burns the fat off when you're exercising"... :pac:

    Yeah that's what he said to me and i was like..."how does it actually work?" to which he replied "ahhhh....."

    Tell him to spend the 40 on a month's membership in the gym, or on clean healthy foods or protein powder if you work out as it is and he'll lose more doing that than taking any fat burners.

    Some, if not all of them work by raising the body temperature by whatever it is, thus making you sweat more and burning more calories during the day and in exercise.

    I wouldn't use them myself, and there's no point using something like that to be honest if your not eating clean as it is. You prob hear that kind of thing all the time, but it's the simple things that work regarding exercise.

    Only fat burners worth using are banned and they don't work unless diet and training is spot on

    Yeh, most of them are only caffeine/ green tea combo, not gonna do much for ya better off sticking to a clean diet and decent training plan, sometimes i take them before morning cardio but this is more just for stimulant effects to get through it!

    I work in a place that sells CLA Booster 24/7, the new product on the market.

    I have never seen a product sell so quickly. It's 26e for a two week supply.

    Most of the women buying it do not seem to be the likes that are following a fitness or diet plan.

    On several occasions I have mentioned that they only work combined with diet and exercise and the customer then leaves them back and walk away.

    Complete con of a product but if it sells it sells. A fool and their money are easily parted.

    Good morning, there are some good fat burner and some bad fat burner in the market. So it is really difficult to tell you the good one and the bad one. Usually I avoid the asian products and I prefer to buy only 100% USA fat burner.
    I am using Phen375 and it is working for me. it is helping me losing weight. it is a little bit more expansive than $40 but you can be sure that it is a good product.

    Some of the ephedrine stacks are good but you have to be carefull as you never know what your getting. The raise your body temperature and increase your heart rate, but can cause sleep problems and erectile issues but the definetly curb your appetite
