Do fat burners really work?
.................................................................................
Eugene Thong:
Many of the so-called fat
burners available in stores are useless, but certain types of fat
burners do actually "work" - in increasing your metabolism above normal
levels.
These specific fat burners are based off of the "ECA stack" - a cocktail
of ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin. The ephedrine slightly speeds your
body's metabolism (up to 10%) and the caffeine and aspirin serve to
amplify and prolong this effect.
Additionally, the
compounds suppress appetite and provide a short-term energy boost
(familiar to anyone who has consumed shots of espresso).
While these compounds do have an actual thermogenic (fat-burning)
response, they should not be used as a substitute for proper dietary
modifications.
In other words, if
your diet is a mess and/or you're eating too many calories, taking a fat
burner pill is not going to do anything to help you lose body fat.
About the Author:
Eugene Thong, CSCS, was born a weak, skinny,
bespectacled child. Now, thanks to a steady diet of martial arts, scientific
inquiry, and heavy compound movements, he's no longer weak. His scientific
bent, Zen-like demeanor, and efficient but intense methods have made him one
of New York's most sought-after personal trainers.
 When
not helping clients cultivate their own inner 6-packs, Eugene can be found
arm barring opponents at Renzo Gracie's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy or
sailing through the air on his snowboard. Read Eugene's semi-weekly musings
