Most of us would like to believe that there is a toned, beautiful looking body underneath the winter fat our bodies have stubbornly decided to store against our will. Well there is, and theres a way to get to that perfect figure faster than our bodies would usually let us, supplements.
But even if you are able to drop the fat without supplements there is usually that stubborn fat that just wont fall off not matter how much cardio you do and how much you keep your calorie intake on the verge of starving. For men this is fat is usually found around the lower thorax/abdomen area, and for women is the lower extremities, legs and hips. But again this is where supplements come and work their wonder.
First of all men and women are both very different, they both have different hormones and different bodies. Therefore they both need different fat burners. Women generally face more physiological and hormonal barriers when it comes to fat loss and need to find scientifically developed fat burners. For women six arears need to be taken into account when looking to lose fat, stress, energy, hormones, appetite, water balance and metabolism.
Men are a little bit easier as their bodies can generally take strob=nger products because they are not as sensitive to stimulants. This is why men got for cafinated stimulants. But men can generally be more successful with fat loss as they have a faster metabolism and slimmer body types. But men have it taogher with lower abdominal fat loss, this is where an ingredient called Yohimbine works wonders.
1. Thermogenics
Found to be the most popular and usually most effective fat burner, thermogenics litteraly burn fat, thermo meaning fire.
The first way thermogenics burn fat is by raising your body temperature so that you burn more calories, the main ingredient in this process is caffeine.
The second way they work to kick the fat is by having the ability to make stubborn adipose tissue/cells (fat) to open and be let go into the blood stream to be used as an energy source. Yohimbine is the key ingredient for this process.
2. Stimulant free fat burners
Many people are unable to take alot of fat burners because they are sensitive to the stimulants. They often get the jitters, agitated and red faced, so they alternative is a stimulant free fat burner.
The stimulants that can agrivate sensitivities are usually Caffeien and Ephedra. These generally create and increased awareness and alertness similar to many caffinated drinks. But Ephedra is illegal in most places.
3. Carbohydrate blockers
Carbohydrate blockers simply block carbs from being fully digested and not re-absorbed. This means there will be less body fat being stored because carbs are not being absorbed. It does this by preventing certain enzymes responsible for carbohydrate digestion from working.
4. Fat blockers
Working in a similar way to carbohydrate blockers in the way that fats are not being fully digested, therefore not absorbed and stored as fat. But there is also a key ingredient in fat blockers which is known to be a fat absorber. Chitosan is said to be able to take fat from the digestive system and release it from the colon so that weight can be lost without reducing calorie intake. But the down side with a fat blocker is that with fat being expelled from the body, essential minerals found in food can also be lost.
5. Appetite suppresants
This fat loss supplement does exaxtly as the name suggests, it suppresses your appetite causing you to eat less. The commonly known appetite suppressant is Meridia, but this product is also known for its many side effects.
ALthough no published evidence shown that it works as an appetite suppresant, Hoodia Gordonii is well known and if taken orally can not harm you as an appetite suppressant.
6.Thyroid Regulators
Thyroid regulators works closly with the thyroid gland, which holds the role of controling how quickly the body burns energy, make protien and the bodys sensitivity to hormones. The hormones that this thyroid gland produces regulates the bodys motabolism. Therefore if it is not working right and secreating enough hormones your metabolism slows down which results in the storage of body fat.
So taking a thyroid regulator helps keep your thyroid gland in order and running at the rate it should be.
7. Cortisol blockers
Released from your adrenal glands, cortisol is a hormone which plays a big role in responding to stress. It works to increase blood pressure, suppress immune system and increase blood sugar levels.
When your body is under stress, there is an increase in corticol in our body cells which tells our bodies that were hungry, and simultaneously telling our fat cells to store as much fat as possible. By taking a cortisol blocker you can prevent these results fom occuring
Remember that these fat burners stimulate your central nervouse system, so after constant use your body addapts to such products and they will stop working. Apart from the detrental side effects of long term use of these fat burners such as your adrenal and thyroid glands crashing, they could acutually be counter-productive. But in saying this they are not a quick fix, you will also need to follow a strick training program and keep a good diet.
Let your body get a feel for the product you choose by starting with the minimal dose recommended, and whether your body responds or not will be a signal of whether you can up the dose slowly but making sure your NEVER go over the recommended maximum dose.
