Fat reducing pills are very popular in both the bodybuilding world and amongst people trying to lose weight. The Internet has made such supplements and medicines more accessible to people that would not normally think to buy them, and few people question if they are effective or safe, before buying online.
Many people take supplements, which are designed to increase the fat burning metabolism, lipolysis, so that more fat can be lost. Most often fat burning pills are used prior to competitions when cutting is most important. There are many diets that aim to produce the same physiological response as a fat burning pill – the Atkins Nutritional Approach being the most popular.
Are fat reducing pills safe?
Although losing fat can be simpler and easier with the correct advice and nutritional products, it is absolutely essential that fat burning pills are only taken by people that are working out intensively on a regular basis. The pills should never be taken by people that are looking for an easy way to lose some weight. At best they just will not work, and at worse they could lead to side effects and ill health.
What is a fat burner?
Most people know that to lose weight, you need to eat less and exercise more. The problem is that dieting can be a physical and mental torture! A fat burner helps you move towards your weight management goals, as part of your diet and training regime.
What are the benefits of a fat burner?
A fat burner helps you to mobilize and burn fat when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program. Maximuscle’s best selling fat-burner, Thermobol, contains ingredients that research shows could increase fat loss. This will help you feel more in control when restricting calories, helping to support your weight management goals.
Should you use a fat burner?
If you’re training hard and still finding it difficult to lose weight, or you’re frustrated by the fact that the weight isn’t coming off quickly enough, Maximuscle’s fat burner Thermobol, could help you reach your weight management goals more quickly.
Are Fat Reducing Pills Safe?
There are many risks associated with taking these kinds of medications. Fat blockers in particular have some negative side effects, including stomach aches, diarrhea, and a tendency to interfere with other medications, notably birth control and estrogen supplements. They can also encourage undernourishment as they often block the absorption of lots of fat-soluble vitamins. Some of these medicines are high in substances like caffeine, which can have a negative effect on the heart. These medications also don’t help slimmer to re-learn appropriate eating habits.
If you are looking to lose some extra fat, and are exercising on a regular basis, then fat burning pills such Maximuscle’s Thermobol can help to speed up metabolism to burn fat and CLA-1000 which helps to break down fat.
Really it is for the consumer to weight up the risks and decide if fat reducing pills are safe for them. There is no sure answer. The best answer is to adopt a healthy diet and do plenty of quality exercise. Following a well structured weight loss system that emphasis both diet and exercise is the best way for most people to lose weight. However, many people intent on looking for the quicker, easier option, and if you are working out hard, then a fat burner may work well for you.
I am an ulcer patient, can I still take a fat burner pills? If yes please tell me which one to use.
Hi Nana. Fat burning pills based on green tea should be OK for you, as green tea actually helps treat ulcers. However, you really should consult your doctor first to be sure. I really would not suggest taking anything else until speaking with a medical professional.
hello mate,
I’m 19 years old and I used to be fat when I was like 16, around 95 kg, and now I’m around 72-73 kg. As I lost weight, I had hard abs, but it never showed up because of my belly fat. I still have the same problem. I’ve started going gym alot now. Is it advisable for me to consume any of the fat burning supplements?
Mahesh, if you are indeed working out on a regular basis, and doing quality (intensive) exercise, and also eating a lean, healthy diet with plenty of proteins and fruits, vegetables and pulses, then a fat burner can help you. Always read the labels to learn if there are any possible side effects. If in any doubt speak to a medical professional.
Hi I am 19 and I am in the gym 3 times a week. I do mostly strength training, will the pills help me loose fat or should I be doing more cardio instead of strength? I do not want to lose muscle but I want to get rid of fat.
I want to know if fat burning pills are dangerous for your heart or any other organs?
Hey I’m a female fourteen almost fifteen and I play tennis two or three times a week for two hours and condition. Plus on my own I weight train and “try” to eat healthy but I have this pooch on my lower stomach that I hate and can’t get rid of even though I do crunches. I have strong abdominal muscles that show above the pooch but I can’t get rid of the fat on my lower stomach. Any advice?
Hi Jessica, the key really is diet. Maybe you are eating too much of the wrong thing – sugar maybe? It is very easy to store fat in that area. If it is just a little, do not worry about it though. Just keep playing sports and exercising!
Your 14 years old, do not even think about dieting, or taking pills. and i cant believe a proffessional would tell you to diet. your 14, your still growing, just eat fruit and veginstead of eating some rubbish, but your very young to even think about dieting, youve got alot of growing to do yet. learn to love yourself and be happy. not dieting, as its dangerous for a young person like u to be dieting, i should know, im a nurse. ignore this so-called professional. People like that make people anorexic and ill. and i think its disguisting and wrong.
Lisa, I said that diet is the key, not to go on “a diet”. There is a big difference. Most people put on weight due to a bad diet, and by that I mean eating junk food, too much sugar, saturated fat etc. Even people that are active can put on weight if they eat a poor diet, as I am sure you know.
Maybe we should not use the word “diet” in the proper sense now, instead say “healthy eating” to avoid confusion?
Did you read the last piece of advice to Jessica?
hiya I’m 20 years old and have been going to the gym just recently as I am trying to lose my belly fat as I weigh 17.4 stone but I want to lose my belly fat quickly so I can get a 6pack with a nice muscular body. so I was wondering what will help lose that belly fat in a few months and would any supplements help lose the belly fat and help muscle building and toning.
Hi Phillip, you need to start dieting. Eat fewer calories and eat healthier meals. Cut sugar, bread, rice, starchy foods. Go low GI, lean proteins. And exercise – do whatever you can. Walking lots will help. Do not touch supplements yet, not until you are fit enough to be exercise intensively. At the moment they will just add to your daily calories and will make weight loss harder.
My goal was to lose 20lbs. I lost 10 with eating a healthy diet, calorie counting and exercising 30-60mins 5-6days a week. Now it seems that I have plateaued a cpl weeks now. Should I try a suppliment now to reach my goal?
Hi Kim, I think that losing 10 pounds on a healthy diet and with exercise is proof that you can lose the remaining weight the same way. You may need to step up your exercise routines a little to burn more fat. Get more intensive, do interval training and some weight training. Also take a fresh look at the diet, maybe there are still little areas that can be improved, esp. reduction of sugar.
I am 23 yrs old and want to lose some weight. I have been working out 30-45 min 5 days a week and am not losing anything. I do not eat junk food and stay away from all sugars. I feel like I keep working and am not getting any results, Any ideas?
Hi Arielle. Although you may not have seen any noticeable weight loss at the moment you are certainly getting fitter and stronger by doing your daily workouts. This means that you can start to push yourself a little harder – get more intensive. Maybe you could measure your waist, thighs, arms, chest and see if these change. You should be building some muscle, and this does weigh more than fat, so if you are losing fat at the same rate as you are building muscle then you will not see much of a difference in the scales. Questions you really should be asking yourself are: Do I feel better? Do I have more energy? Am I sleeping better? Start by working harder. In the last 10 minutes of your workout start doing 1 minute “sprints”, i.e. train as hard as possible for 1 minute. Then slow down to recover for 1 minute, and repeat. So you do 5 sprints (intensive intervals) in the last 10 minutes. This should help burn more fat and get you fitter.
Hi all! Well I’ve been training for past 6 years and I used some fat burning pills!I had my 6 pack, I was so enthusiastic till one day I suddenly started losing not just fat but body muscle. I was eating healthy, taking proteins, so I seek medical help. My creatine level was higher than normal and risked kidney failure. So I had not just to quit GYM but also gave up on normal ordinary life style. So before to take any supplements ask yourself, what do you really need?
Good advice Emin. Supplements should be used to supplement your healthy diet, not to replace food.
I’ve been working out 5-6 days a week for the past 6 weeks and only lost 4 lb i do see an inch in my belt, and my pants legs and butt are a lot loser but the scale is not going down. I do wieght training 3-4 days out of the 6 days i work out walking or using the elipcal I am on a healthy diet no red meat only chicken , sea food , nothing fried everything grilled lots of veg. and fruits, no rice, no bread, wheat pasta if any and brown rice what do i need to do now to loose the weight and the belly fat
Hi Sophia. You are doing great. OK, 4 lb is not a lot in 6 weeks, but you are slimmer and fitter, this is something to build on. When you start exercising you need to build a foundation first, the fitter you get, the harder you can work, the more calories you burn. You may still need to reduce portion size slightly to help with the fat loss, and keep an eye on sugar (which gets in everything these days, breakfast cereals included). Switch as many foods for the lowest GI ones that you can. Keep pushing yourself with your workouts. Even if the weight loss is slow, stay positive and remember these two facts: 1. You are losing weight. 2. You are getting fitter. Both of these make you healthier, and this should make you happier. Give it time, and make small adjustments to diet as you progress.
So the issue with fat burners if you aren’t exercising is that the fat burners themselves contain a lot of calories? I’m trying to understand why dieting + fat burners but not a large amount of exercise wouldn’t help, or exactly what is it about fat burners that are bad for you if you aren’t working out a lot.
They do not contain calories, it is just that they are not so effective if you are not exercising and there is a risk of possible side effects occurring.
I am 23 years and weigh 127 kg. I want to loose about 50 kg within the next three months how should I do?.I started a healthy diet and exercising for the past 3 days, and am also drinking a plenty of water and lemon mixture. AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK?.
Hi Maureen, yes you are on the right track. Diet is the most important part. Reduce sugar intake and keep calories low. Try to do some exercise everyday, lots of walking is a good way to start if you are very overweight. Aim to lose 1-2kg a week to start with then this will lower to 0.5-1kg per week. But just keep working at it. As you lose weight and get fitter increase your exercise. Good luck! Please come back and tell us how you are getting on.
Hi I have started gym just 12 days back but I haven’t lost no weight no fat infact ppl think and ask me I’m looking fatter.. I exercise for abt an 1 and a half hours or so.. I asked my trainer what could be done he said use fat burnering pills.. Now my question is is it safe for me.. I have a thyroid promlem now it is almost cleared.. I’m not able to decide what to do could u pls help with a good suggestion…
Well, a trainer does not always know best, he may even make a profit on selling the fat burning pills.
To lose weight you need to diet as well as exercise. If you have not adjusted your diet, i.e. reduced calories and reduced sugar, then you will not lose much weight in 12 days, fat burning pills or not.
Sort the diet out, then review in another 2 weeks.
