    There are a couple of supplements that boost your metabolism.

    They're all illegal.

    Turns otut that actully boosting your metabolism any significant degree is inherently dangerous. The term "burning calories" is literally true; heat is produced as a result of burning calories. If you increase your metabolism, your body gets warm. Hot, even. That's why you sweat your butt off when you run.

    Increasing your metabolism not only makes you hot, but it increases oxygen consumption. That's why you pant when you run.

    Now imagine sweating your butt off and panting - the direct results of increasing your metabolism any significant amount - while you're laying in bed.

    That's what "boosting your metabolism" actually looks like. And there's a drug that does it. It's illegal, but bodybuilders obtain and use it anyway. They sometimes die of hyperthermia as a result. But when they're on it, they're drenched in sweat and panting while lying on the floor.

    So ask yourself: do you really want to boost your metabolism?

    OP:
    Did you ever buy the supplements since starting this thread a year and a half ago?
    This bears repeating.

    False. There is nothing better than sliced bread in comparison to said bread.
