ELENATION 0 Posted April 19, 2006 :help: I'm thinking to use some kind of fat burner to help my weight loss. Do you recommend any? I don't want anything with stimulants or caffeine in it, but basically to burn fat and/or gain some muscle. Thank you, Elena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lianna 3 Posted April 19, 2006 The best fat burner around is good old fashioned exercise! It is caffeine free too! Seriously though, I dont know about taking a fat burner pill....I pretty much got banded because I had taken so much of that crap and done so many diets, they obviously were NO miracle for me. I hear that the EGCG in green tea helps metabolise fat and it stimulant free. Maybe some green tea capsules or drinking a couple of cups a day would give you the boost you are looking for.

paula 4 Posted April 20, 2006 Elena, My good friend says that green tea hypes her up - so be careful. Do you have a vitamin/herb supply store close by? Maybe they could recommend something. Was it Chrom. Piconate (sp?) that was used to burn fat? Whatever you find, please share the info. :biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ELENATION 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Thank you for responding. I will go to GNC and ask and I will share. Hugs, Elena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted April 20, 2006 NO! I dont recommend GNC. Several reasons why. Do you have anything locally owned? Or try asking your pharmacist, maybe they have an idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"Just" Paul 1 Posted April 20, 2006 One thing against the fat burners might be the pills themselves. I cannot take big pills, and need to use liquids, dissolving tabs or crush them up. Many fat burners are time-release, so you shouldn't crush them. I know I couldn't get one past my band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Just" Paul 1 Posted April 20, 2006 Before my band... probably all of them. Zenadrine, Cortislim, Chromium picconolate (sp), amino acid combos, green tea, Stacker, Ephedra, and more. The only thing I usually got from them was at most, the jitters, but no weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
