The 100-Calorie Secret - Never Diet Again!

There are various supplements that are currently sold on today's
market that aim to help you burn fat and excess calories by
"speeding up your metabolism". These weight loss products are
commonly known as fat burners. In addition to claim of "speeding up
your metabolism," so called, fat burners may also include ingredients
which are designed to increase your energy levels and/or
suppress your appetite.

Fat burners commonly contain a stimulants which are believed to speed up the metabolic processes of the body. Caffeine, green tea are common stimulants. Other common stimulants found in fat burners include; guarana, chocamine, synephrine, yerba mate, and chromium polynicotinate.

All of this sounds too good to be true. Well it's all not true. There is no proof that metabolism can be altered  with any OTC product or even by a prescription drug enough to see the results on a scale. Giving a chemical to a rat and observing that it might increase their metabolism a tiny bit has no relevance for humans. Even the strongest stimulants like the prescription amphetamines  do not actually speed up anything. Don't confused anxiety and jitteryness with increasing  metabolism.

Best advice, look at the recent hydroxycut recall: people died, needed  liver transplants, ended up with destroyed livers and  jaundice and then decide for yourself. Remember all fat burners are classified as food supplements and thus are not examined closely by the FDA until consumers  start seeing problems. Remember the PPA recall a few years ago?
