fat burners effective?

krismike Posts: 56 Joined: 2002/03/17	2002/06/25, 05:43 PM Everytime I post a message i always get "eat healhty and do cardio" and you don't need it. Well all I want to know is do they actually accelerate or help fat loss when taken with healthy diet and cardio? I just want a straight answer.

If you have high blood pressure or heart problems, I'd probably steer clear of the fat burners with ma huang (read: ephedrine). If not, Xenadrine & Hydroxycut are the two most popular on the market and they work very well. I wouldn't advise buying the 'no-name' stuff from really fat guy in the little booths in the mall. ;) -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

It also depends on your body and exercise level. I have tried a lot of products that worked for other people and no significant results until hydroxycut, so experience, but do your research first. -------------- Lisa

roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2002/06/25, 09:34 PM You can get the hydroxycut and xenadrine without the ephedra. I started off with that because they won't sell them on Marine Corps Bases. I did go to the Air Force base to get the stuff with ephedra. -------------- Lisa

By that I mean, most thermogenics rely on the classic (and clinically proven) 20/200 formula of ephedrine/caffeine. Provided that you buy from a reputable company, any fat burner with these basic ratios will get the job done. All the other ingredients added in are just "window dressing." The 20/200 is where the real action is when it comes to thermogenesis. Bear in mind that thermogenics or conventional "fat burners" will work for the majority of people who use them. However, if you have other issues (e.g., insulin-resistance, underactive thyroid), then these thermogenics may be of little use. Which is why some people claim they don't work. Good luck.

duketter Posts: 76 Joined: 2002/05/01	2002/06/27, 10:21 AM I was looking at getting Xenadrine. Should I go with the ephedrine free? I don't have any medical problems, but was wondering if the ephedrine free product is just as good as the Xenadrine with ephedrine?
prettygentle Posts: 142 Joined: 2002/06/12	2002/06/27, 10:48 AM That would be personal preference... I used the Xen-RFA, the one with Ephedra. I haven't tried the Ephedra free one. I had good results with the Original Xen, so I don't really think I will be trying the new one. -------------- pg *The prettygentleone isn't so gentle anymore! ^v^ --The second you quit, then it's official - you're a failure.

I think I get better results with ephedra but I also take hydroxycut. You just have to experiment with the different stuff. Everyones chemical balance is different, although without ephedra is a little safer especially if you are heavy in cardio. When I plan on having a heavy cardio (running outside in Okinawa 80 degrees with 90% humudity, I don't take ephedra products). You just need to be careful until you know how your body reacts to a new product. -------------- Lisa
