Fat Burners – in a nutshell

One of the constant questions I get from the ladies is which fat burner to take, X or Y? Now I would not want to recommend a particular product because they might work for some and don’t work for others. However you need to be aware that there are different types of fat burners on the market:

  • Thermogenic Fat Burners increase your metabolic rate. With your metabolic rate, your temperature will increase, too. Your body will burn up fats faster which will lead to an increase in energy levels. These fat burners use caffeine as their main ingredient.
  • Stimulant-free fat burners are for those who cannot take caffeine.
  • Carb blockers work in a different way. They make it difficult for the body to release the enzyme responsible for breaking down starch. If starch cannot be broken down, it cannot be absorbed by the body therefore fewer calories from starch will be absorbed.
  • Fat Blockers are bundled together with carb blockers and they bind to fats ingested and transport them out of the body without going through digestion.
  • Thyroid regulators optimize the thyroid functions to maximise fat loss. Thyroids regulate the body’s metabolism, blood calcium levels, energy, excess fats, hormones and fat loss. You need to be careful with these though because they will not just optimize your thyroid but over stimulate it and after a certain period your body may get used to it and when you stop taking them, your thyroid activity will slow down considerably which means slow metabolism and fat gain again.
  • Appetite suppressants work on the brain: they make you feel not hungry and make you feel full.

Not sure if they’re all freely available in Egypt, but many of them are. However I have to emphasize that none of these fat burners will work unless you have a solid and clean nutrition. These fat burners are not supposed to work with your junk food. They have been created to help speed up fat loss for those who already have a clean diet.
