Fat burners[edit | edit code]

Popularity of weight loss supplements
Fat burners

, or
fat burners
, are a type of sports nutrition or special preparations that are created to reduce excess fat deposits. Fat burners help you lose weight, make your muscles more defined, allow you to better concentrate on exercise and make training easier.

The main mechanisms of action of fat burners: stimulation of metabolism in the body, suppressing appetite, reducing the absorption of fats and carbohydrates from the digestive tract, blocking fat synthesis in adipose tissue and removing excess fluid. Mainly, fat burners accelerate the breakdown of fat molecules and convert fat into free energy, increasing its consumption. The basal metabolic rate rises by 10% or more.[1]

Fat burners are designed for people who exercise and want to reduce body fat. The effect of fat burners is realized during training, subject to diet. If the consumption of fat burners is not combined with training and proper nutrition, the effect will be much weaker, so there is no point in using them for people leading a sedentary lifestyle with poor nutrition.

Currently, sports nutrition stores offer a wide selection of fat burners with a wide variety of compositions and mechanisms of action. The choice of a fat burner must be taken seriously, since certain fat burners are suitable for each person, while others may be less effective and even harmful to health.

Most often fat burners contain the following ingredients:

• Caffeine
• L-carnitine
• Guarana
• Methylhexanamine (DMAA)
• Chromium picolinate
• Chitosan
• Green tea extract
• Synephrine
• Naringin
• PEA (phenylethylamine)
• Tyramine
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Dopamine
• Raspberry Ketone
• Green coffee
• Goji berries

Basically, these are substances of natural origin and all of them are approved for use by athletes participating in competitions.

The most important contraindications

Fat burners without side effects will only affect a completely healthy body. If proper nutrition and physical activity are your thing, you don’t need to be afraid to try them. They will speed up drying and you will achieve the desired shape faster.

Most large companies produce effective and safe fat burners. But even they have a number of limitations.

If you have regular surges in blood pressure or heart problems, then it is better to avoid them. It is prohibited to combine fat burners with antidepressants.

Contraindications include:

• Diabetes.
• Prostatitis.
• Childhood and adolescence.

For any chronic diseases, you should consult your doctor before taking thermogenics.

Main types of fat burners[edit | edit code]

The following list contains the main types of fat burners and other supplements that promote weight loss and, in some cases, increased muscle definition:

• Thermogenics
  - increase the body's energy expenditure, increase physical activity, suppress appetite, thereby triggering fat burning
• Lipotropics
  - increase the rate of metabolic processes during which fats are broken down (90% ineffective)
• Calorie or nutrient blockers
  : Carbohydrate blockers - interfere with the absorption of carbohydrates from the digestive tract
• Fat blockers - interfere with the absorption of fats from the digestive tract

All these supplements differ radically in properties, side effects and dosage regimen. Many of them are not very good for health, others, on the contrary, strengthen it and increase life expectancy. Please read this list carefully and choose the most suitable option for yourself.

Combination of fat burners[edit | edit code]

To enhance the effect, fat burners of different types can be combined. Safe and highly effective combinations:

1. Thermogenics + Carbohydrate blockers + Fat blockers + Thyroid stimulants + Cortisol blockers + L-carnitine

At first glance, this combination looks simply monstrous, but having penetrated into the intricacies of the interaction, you can easily understand that this is a fairly safe combination that guarantees maximum effectiveness. To take all these types together, you will need only 2-3 supplements, which combine several fat burners. Let's give an example of a complex with the highest quality and highly effective additives, which include this entire list:

• L-carnitine (any brand and form)
• Thermofuse by Muscle Warfare
• Cheaters Relief from BSN - apparently discontinued

Another highly effective, highly compatible and safe fat burning complex:

• L-carnitine (any brand and form)
• Animal Cuts from Universal Nutrition
• Cheaters Relief by BSN

Security and Compatibility[edit | edit code]

Most modern thermogenics combine: stimulants, thyroid stimulants, diuretics and other components precisely because these components have a synergistic effect and are completely compatible. For example, the combination of L-carnitine and a thermogeneric makes the use of the latter safer, since carnitine protects the heart and blood vessels from overload and reduces the catabolism of muscle tissue. You can safely add blockers of fats and carbohydrates to this; they are not digested at all, so they will not interact in any way with other types. Omega-3 fatty acids also have a protective effect on the heart and blood vessels, and are very effective when taken together with thermogenerics, carnitine and nutrient blockers. Cortisol blockers do not directly affect the metabolism and pharmacodynamics of other fat burners, but interact only with cortisol, therefore they are also perfectly compatible, and they also inhibit muscle destruction, especially under the influence of thermogenerics.

Conclusion:

Almost all types of fat burners are highly compatible, as they have different points of application in the body. The latter fact allows you to maximize the effectiveness of the cycle, reduce the frequency of side effects and protect the muscles from destruction.

Warning:

Do not combine fat burners of the same type, this can be harmful to health and will not be justified from the point of view of effectiveness. All combinations must be agreed upon with a specialist.

Additional sports nutrition[edit | edit code]

During cycles to lose weight and create relief, you have to adhere to a strict diet. In this regard, the body does not receive many necessary substances, as a result of which, after weight loss, muscle mass sharply decreases, the properties of the skin deteriorate, and a number of diseases can even occur. Fortunately, all this can be avoided if you choose the right sports nutrition for the duration of your cycle.

As you know, in conditions of hunger, the body begins to actively destroy muscles in order to obtain amino acids for the synthesis of important proteins. To prevent this from happening, you must take sources of amino acids: proteins, BCAA or amino acid complexes. It is better to use slow proteins, they are gradually absorbed, do not cause an insulin peak and therefore will not interfere with fat burning, but will provide nutrition to the muscles and prevent catabolism. If you want to radically reduce the caloric content of your diet, then BCAA or amino acid complexes are suitable for you; they contain a small amount of calories and inhibit catabolic reactions well, at the same time they do not reduce the effectiveness of fat burners and do not slow down the process of losing weight.

A strict diet leads to a reduction in the intake of important microelements and vitamins into the body, which necessitates the mandatory intake of vitamin-mineral complexes. Otherwise, hypovitaminosis may occur, skin elasticity will decrease, metabolic disorders will occur, and so on. Vitamins are necessary even for the breakdown of fat, so their deficiency will reduce the effectiveness of the training.

If you want to increase definition and venous definition, you can include arginine-based supplements in the complex. This is a precursor to NO, which improves muscle nutrition, enhances pumping, improves relief and dilates veins. In addition, the use of sports nutrition with creatine is allowed. Creatine increases strength and allows you to train more intensely, accelerating the fat burning process. Again, given that creatine has an accumulative effect and when taking it it is strongly recommended not to take caffeine-containing drinks and creatine retains water, then when taking fat burners with caffeine, it will be money down the drain. I advise you to take a closer look at beta-alanine in this case.

Recommendations from professionals

The most powerful fat burner is powerless if you just lie on the couch, washing down chips with beer. It is foolish to rely only on its miraculous action. Without diet and exercise it is impossible to build a beautiful body.

If in the initial stages you find it difficult to plow in the gym, start with intense morning exercises, jogging or swimming. After a week or two, increase the load.

Always adhere to the following rules:

• Do not take medications after 18.00.
• Long courses (more than a month) lead to addiction.
• Take a break of 7 days, then continue the course. Some bodybuilders recommend taking a break a week after 14 days of use, then taking fat burners again.
• Monitor the amount of clean water you drink. At least 1.5-2 liters per day, everything will depend on your weight. The larger it is, the more liquid is needed.
• Do not exceed the dosage under any circumstances. This will not make your body more beautiful, but will only ruin your health.
• In case of severe side effects, reduce the dosage or replace the drug.

Always buy fat burners from trusted sellers, do not be tempted by too cheap products. Counterfeits can be dangerous; at best, they turn out to be harmless dummies with a minimum of caffeine.

So, once again, the secret to success is physical activity + diet + fat burners.
