Diet pills and diet to rev up metabolism

Rayman79

That's right. There's no substitute for hard work. If you take a short cut now and starve yourself or do something equally stupid, you will regret it (and probably stack all the weight back on after you graduate).

Just eat at a moderate caloric deficit and get some regular exercise (a mix of resistance training and cardio will be ideal). Train hard and eat clen... I mean clean :laugh:

Look into coconut oil and MCT oil. They have great potential to help people burn fat.

Studies?

Shamelessly, stolen links form Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-chain_triglyceride

Sigh. From your first link:

Body weight (BW) decreased (P<0.05) by 1.03+/-0.25 kg with MCT consumption compared to 0.62+/-0.29 kg with LCT consumption.

Read that carefully. It says right there that there were subjects who lost *less* with MCT than with LCT.

And the links get worse from there...

1. No, nothing works. When things work, they get abused, then they get banned. The most useful supplement is probably caffeine because it's an appetite suppressant (and a mild fat burner in the short term).
2. Even if they did exist/work, this attitude is going to make it impossible to have any sustainable weight loss. You need to understand that it's difficult, put in the time, and then want to stick to it _because_ it was so hard.
3. 4 months is a long time. If you can adhere to the 2lb/week deficit that MFP calculates, that's 35lbs lost.
4. Exercise (lift weights!). It'll keep you motivated to eat clean, it'll make you look great, and it'll help burn those extra calories.

There is no magic pill sorry. Just eat healthy and get that exercise in. You can do it.
