just recently the FDA warned 16 manufacturers of weight loss supplements for making exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their products. \n\n"These products give unfounded hope to people who are attempting to lose weight. False and misleading claims have significant health consequences to individuals that may be overweight because these products do not produce the desired results..."\n\n\nWhat Are Fat Burners?\n\nFat burners are essentially pills which contain certain herbal ingredients such as Ephedra, HCA, Chitosan and Pyruvate, all of which claim to either increase energy, stimulate your metabolism and/or suppress your appetite. \n\nThe Dirt on Fat Burners \n\nChitosan \n\nWhat it is: A substance derived from the external skeletons of marine animals, such as crabs (ew!) \nWhat it does: Chitosan binds to fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which prevents the body from absorbing them. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Diet Fuel With Chitosan, Biotech's Fat-B-Gone With Chitosan \nShould you take it? That's up to you. First, there's a concern that Chitosan impairs absorption of carotenoids which the body converts into vitamin A. Second, most experts agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work. A handful of studies suggest that Chitosan might help trim fat, but these studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA. For more info, see WebMD's take on Chitosan. \nEhpedra \n\nWhat it is: A powerful herb grown in Mongolia and China. Ephedrine (an extract of Ephedra) is an amphetamine-like compound which stimulates the nervous system and heart. \nWhat it does: An effective treatment for asthma, allergies, and sinus problems. Usually marketed for weight loss, performance enhancement, energy, or body building. \nWhere it lives: The Original Formula One, Ripped Fuel, Muscletech's Hydroxycut \nShould you take it? Um, not without some good research. Since 1994 the FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with products containing Ephedra. These include: high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes and death. What's scary is that many of these problems occurred in young/middle aged, healthy adults who used it for weight loss. The problem often stems from mixing ephedrine with caffeine, a big no-no. Check out the Department of Health & Human Services for detailed info on the problems with Ephedra. \nPyruvate\n\nWhat it is: HCRC defines Pyruvate as: "a three-carbon (triose) ketoacid produced in the end stages of glycolysis." Translation: Pyruvate is a product of sugar metabolism. \nWhat it does: Marketers claim it can increase fat and weight loss, reduce cholesterol, and improve endurance. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Pyruvate Fuel, Pinnacle Pyruvate 500 \nShould you take it? William Sukala, an expert trainer at Health Care Reality Checks says: "The minuscule doses available in commercial supplements have not been proven effective in any available research." Basically, the research that has been done doesn't support marketers' claims. It seems safe right now, but, like everything else, needs further study. \nHCA (Hydroxycitrate) \n\nWhat it is:A natural food substance extracted from the fruit of the Garcina cambogia tree grown in southern India. \nWhat it does: HCA supposedly curbs appetite and increases glycogen storage without affecting muscle or energy levels. \nWhere it lives: No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, MicroSlim, and Body Busters (among others) \nShould you take it? Not unless you enjoy wasting your money. According to a study published in JAMA, HCA is ineffective for weight loss. \nConclusion\nAs you can see, the research on fat burners is sketchy at best. No one can say with any certainty that fat burners work or if they are safe to take over a long period of time. What is a proven method of weight loss is exercise coupled with a healthy, low-calorie

Depends...if you begin taking lean system 7 and make no changes to your diet and excercise habits then it will do nothing.\n\nHowever, if you make changes in your lifestyle then results may be seen. In a controlled study people not on 7 lost 0.57% of their body fat while the group on it lost 1.8%- which is about 6 pounds more on average.

I've been having this one for years now. I exercise on it every day while watching my favorite show, for about 10 minutes. \n\nWhen I first got the trainer, I exercised more, for about 20-30 minutes a day, and at first I didn't experience any weight loss, but my muscles began to form, my bum felt firmer and my arms lost the flappines. Since muscless are a heavier tissue than fat, this is normal, but after one month you start to loose fat too, and than the weight loss starts.\n\nJust be persistant, exercise every day and diet too, and you'll reach your weight goal. Check out Comonsense diet tips on the sources I provided, if you seek diet and exercise advice.\n\nNow I use the trainer for maintenance only, so 10 minutes per day suffice.

I love Dr Phil for one reason and here it is\n\nHe continually asks his guests one simple question: "How's it working for you?"\n\nSuccess in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.\n\nHere is what works when it comes to weight loss (fat loss).\n\nThere is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. That process is the same for every human being. I will outline the steps and then show you how you can easily apply some fundamental rules to allow your body to burn the maximum amount of fat with less effort and minimum time\n\nHere are the steps:\n\nStep #1: The body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program.\n\nStep #2: The fat needs to be efficiently transported to you muscle cells for burning. This is accomplished by incorporating cardio training.\n\nStep #3: Your muscles cells burn the fat and turn it into energy. This is where the magic happens. \n\nNow here are the basics strategies to use to makes that process as effective as possible.\n\nStep 1:\nYour nutrition program is the major factor that allows fat release. Here are some basics things that you need to do:\n1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.\n2.Include small amounts of good fats.\n3.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods\n4.Eat lean proteins with each meal.\n5.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.\n\nStep 2\nThen you need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. \nDoing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The reason is excessive cardio combined with a restrictive diet burns muscle tissue. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime \nsoon.\n1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate\n2.Burn more calories than you consume, (No starvation diets, Please...)\n\nStep 3\nThe only thing in your body that burns fat is Muscle. Your muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to burn body fat. You need to preserve muscle tissues in order to keep losing weight. Most people go on a starvation diet combined a lot of cardio to lose weight. At first it may seems like this is working because they are losing scale weight. However, scale weight does not tell you if weight loss is from fat, water or muscle tissue. \n\nLosing fat is what you are after, \nLosing water is only temporary, \nLosing muscle will simply lower your metabolism and put you in the Yo-Yo dieting bandwagon. \n\nTo maintain muscle tissues you need to:\n1.Do some resistance training. (This is not optional, it is mandatory)\n\n\nDon't like the results you have been getting?  Then CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY.\n\nHow do you change your strategy? How do you find one that works? \n\nDO NOT continue doing something just because "THEY" say it's the way things should be done. Allow yourself to choose the solution that will work for you, regardless of what it may be. The only way for you to know who is right is to measure your progress and ACTUALLY track your results.\n\nCHANGE IS HARD, but it's also worth it. Not getting results makes change EXTREMELY HARD.\n\nThe best strategy is to think positive, Get support from friends, family or a coach. Losing weight is not as hard at it seems once you know what to do.\n\nGood Luck with your journey…\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com\nhttp://www.newjerseypersonaltrainer.com

I had the same working out regularly. I found out it took a tighter diet. Low fatty stuff. Drink a gallon of water a day. No Soda, it makes you retail water. Cycling does not work the abs as well as walking. Treadmill or walk fast for at least 20 mins a day. To help a good fat burner with the right amount of water will help. 20 mins of some cardio excersize just before you go to bed keeps the metabolism burning fat about 2 hours longer into the night. All the other excersizes builds up your abs but what good is it if you cant see it? Burn off the fat first, sculpt second.. Good luck...

There is no such thing as a fat-burning energy supplement.  You are watching too much late-night TV my friend.  Try hauling your buttt around the block a few times and forget the quack pills.

Fad diets DO work.  In fact everything you state DOES work.  Here's everything there is to know about the entire subject in a nutshell lol!  Print it out or something!\n\nAvailable heat energy is turned into work (meeting the demand for activity) or else stored as fatty deposits around the body.\n\nHeat energy is measured in kiloJoules or KiloCalories, and a good way of finding out what foods are high energy foods is to simply throw them on a campsite fire.  Sugar granules or alochol thrown onto a fire will create a great spectacle!  The easier it is to burn, the more explosive it it at burning, the more fattening.\n\n(#1) Match energy intake with activity level = no change;\n(#2) Reduce energy intake, maintain activity level = burns fat (lose weight);\n(#3) Reduce energy intake, increase activity level = burns fat (lose weight) quicker;\n(#4) Reduce energy intake, reduce activity level (same as #1);\n(#5) Increase energy intake, increase activity level (same as #1);\n(#6) Increase energy intake, maintain activity level = put on weight/ store fat;\n(#7) Increase energy intake, reduce activity level = put on weight/ store fat quicker.\n\nCOMPLICATIONS\n\nThe heat energy in food can either be accessed or not.  \n\nUnaccessible or unavailable carbohydrates are also know as roughage or dietary fibre.  Everyone knows that TOO LITTLE FIBRE is a highly refined diet -- you will not go to the toilet much, and there can be a problem with your bowel (intestines, stomach, and various organs) if it is not "flushed" through with fibre often enough.\n\nHowever, not many people realise that if you eat TOO MUCH FIBRE you will need to go to the toilet more often, and a lot of goodness (vitamins as well as heat energy etc) can be dragged out before your body has had a chance to get them. Increasing fibre can lose you weight!  The main thing to note is that the fibre content in food ensures that some (not all) of the vitamins and minerals being lost as a result of going to the toilet.\n\nYour metabolism is a COMPENSATING mechanism that works between upper and lower limits, so if you reduce energy intake, the metabolism can adjust itself by taking longer to get goodness out of food -- instead of resorting to converting fat stores into available carbohydrate for work activity. You may be 'bloated' or constipated... but the main thing is that it seems as though your fad diet has suddenly stopped working -- that you have reached a plateau.\n\nYour metabolism will make you feel more hungry or more full as it sees fit, it will make you constipated or have the runs, it can even make you feel too tired to exercise!\n\nThe KEY to successful slimming is to FOOL your metabolism.\n\nWhile your metabolism is automatic, it can be affected by hormonal activity -- so puberty puts on "puppy fat", and menopausal or pregnant women can gain weight too as the metabolism makes them hungry, listless and is more thorough in processing food to get as much energy out to store as fat. \n\nPeople with a thyroid problem have no way of controlling their metabolism.  The thyroid (in the neck) regulates the metabolism, Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can result from trauma or shock.  You have to take drugs fro the rest of your life, but you are in complete control of your weight!\n\nSome drugs target the thyroid -- others keep you awake or make you more active -- speed etc.  Speed is sometimes found in medicines prescribed for menstrual pains, which is why some girls have a weight problem or a fluctuating weight problem.\n\nThe good thing about increasing your fibre is that it keeps your metabolism busy.  But you can equally well trick your metabolism by drinking a LOT of room-temperature still tap water. \n\nHeat energy in foods comes in three varieties: Carbohydrates (which are very quickly turned into work), Proteins, and Fats.  Think of it like this: eaten fats are turned by the body (using vitamins and hormones) into proteins and then into

They dont work because they are a literal sham my friend.  If you weant to lose weight and save money go walk at the local park and boost your metabolism so you burn fat even while at rest.  And eat healthier....quit the mcdonalds and burger king routine like i did about a year ago...and you will notice a huge change not only in your day to day energy level, but your entire mood and take on life.  Good Luck and let me know how it goes.

I tried one from GNC a while ago. All it did was make my heart beat super fast. It was terrible. I'd suggest if you need to lose weight to try Weight Watchers. I'm on it right now and I've lost 50 pounds. It's the only way I've been able to lose weight. Good luck! :)

will this really work?

I tried it, didn't find that it worked one bit.  I ended up returning it for a refund.  Even though it tasted great, it made me sick to my stomach, and I didn't lose any weight at all.  In my opinion it's a scam.
