Fat Burners Review

Professional bodybuilders and long-term fitness enthusiasts set different goals for their activities and workouts. Often on the way to perfect forms there are elementary fat deposits that do not want to part with their “warm” places, of which there are many in any organism. Help is usually provided by active and regular exercise, diet, and the use of fat burners.

What are fat burners

Earlier we have already given a detailed answer to the question: “What are fat burners?” in our article. Recall that fat burners contain elements that stimulate metabolism and promote the disappearance of fat or converting it into energy (that is, in calories).

The most famous and effective ingredients in fat burners

The most famous ingredients in fat burners are:

• Green tea extract – increases the level of fat oxidation under the influence of oxygen, forcing the body to use the released heat as an energy source;
• Caffeine – has a stimulating effect on the metabolism and nervous system, provides energy, increases endurance during training, helps to maintain high non-training activity and increases body temperature. All this creates favorable conditions for burning fat;
• Guarana – acts on the body like caffeine. The only difference is that the action of guarana lasts longer and is milder – there is no peak concentration, and this reduces the risk of side effects;
• L-Carnitine – supplies fatty acids to muscle cells for energy, increases endurance and helps burn more fat during exercise;
• Omega-3 fatty acids – normalize fat metabolism and help burn subcutaneous fat;
• Chitosan – blocks fats from food, binding them before being absorbed into the blood.

Types of fat burners

One way or another, the entire spectrum of fat burning products is divided into two types – lipotropics and thermogenics… The first type of fat burners (lipotropics) act on the liver, blocking the synthesis of fat by liver cells, and at the same time accelerate the breakdown of adipose tissue. Of the above, these include L-carnitine and Omega-3. These are substances that improve the speed of metabolic processes, which naturally helps to lose weight faster, but the fat burning effect itself is poorly proven.

Thermogenics, as the name implies, affect the temperature of the human body, increasing it by 0,5-2 degrees. In order to satisfy the increased need for calories, the body turns on the mechanisms of splitting its own fat accumulations. Of the above, these include caffeine, guarana, green tea extract. In addition to raising the temperature, thermogenics reduce appetite and stimulate the nervous system, which allows you to be more active and think less about food.

As for chitosan, it belongs to the fat blockers. It is widely popular with those who lose weight because of its properties, although its effectiveness has not been scientifically proven. Rather, this supplement serves as a complacency if the diet is interrupted by a big holiday, which cannot be celebrated without a feast with traditional dishes.

How fat burners work

The main rule of action of any fat burners is to combine their intake with training and proper nutrition. Sitting in an armchair in front of the fireplace with a bowl of chips on your lap, drink even the entire package of the strongest fat burner – your fat will remain with you, but your heart may not withstand such a load.

Fat burners work in several directions, they are:

• Suppress appetite;
• Stimulates metabolism;
• Remove excess fluid from the body;
• Block fat synthesis in adipose tissue;
• Slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and fats from the digestive tract.

Fat burners by effects on the body

Fat burners differ in the way they affect the body, so they can be found in sports nutrition stores under the following signs:

• Thermal Engineering – by increasing body temperature, they help accelerate metabolism and suppress appetite;
• Fat and carbohydrate blockers – have a narrow “specialization”, affect the rate of absorption of fats and carbohydrates;
• Diuretics – diuretics that increase the excretion of salts from the body.

As a rule, fat burner drugs combine several components, so they have several actions at once, or even all at once. Therefore, you just need to carefully read the instructions on the packaging of the product, or enlist the help of a specialist to choose a drug.

Modern fat burners

The sports nutrition industry is on the move, making it difficult to keep up with newly launched drugs, but some of them are well known and inspiring confidence. Many different fat burners have been developed specifically for sports ladies, but we will recommend you Tight Fem (company SAN) and Lipo-6 (Nutrex), for strong and physically hardy men – Tight Hardcore (SAN), Hydroxycut Hardcore (Muscle) and Tech Lipo-6X (Nutrex).

Just immediately draw your attention to the fact that before taking fat burners, consult your physician. Because, despite the fact that all approved fat burners do not harm a healthy body, they have a number of contraindications, for example: fat burners are not recommended for people with cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetics and patients with prostatitis.

How to choose a fat burner?

When choosing a fat burner, pay attention to the manufacturer, reviews, the composition of the supplement, your own contraindications, scientific arguments.

• Manufacturer – it must be a well-known brand that has proven itself in the sports nutrition market. Cheap supplements from little-known brands may not match what is stated on the label. The credibility of the manufacturer instills more confidence that you will not buy a fake.
• Reviews – Pick a few brands and look for reviews of their fat burning supplements on the forums. Do not trust reviews written on store sites. Most of them are written to order. Look for real people and independent resources.
• Composition – choose fat burners with working ingredients only. Many manufacturers include many ingredients in the supplement, which are of little use, but the price of the supplement is higher with them. For example, a fat burner may contain questionable chitosan. Although logically, why would you need to block fats when your diet should already be regulated? Without proper nutrition and exercise, fat burners don’t work.
• Health – the nature of the effects of thermogenics is different. For example, guarana is milder than caffeine, and green tea extract is milder than guarana. However, consultation with a therapist is mandatory, especially if you have contraindications for taking fat burners.
• Research – Before you buy any supplement, check to see if the science supports its effectiveness. What’s more, well-known supplements from reputable brands have themselves been the subject of research.

Rules for taking fat burners
