Diet pills and diet to rev up metabolism

Actually, it would be against MFP rules to give you such advice.

But hey, if you think making yourself sick will make you feel better, have fun.

How does one rev a metabolism? Is that revving a car?

NO


eat right
work hard
rinse
repeat

This.

You shouldve started months ago ifyou have 'so much' to lose thatd you waste money of scams and risk your health

My opinion is that diet pills and "metabolism revving diets" are a waste of time and money.

Here is a good article from the Mayo Clinic on metabolism.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/metabolism/ART-20046508

Summary: You really can't speed up your metabolism, but moving more is the thing you have the most control over to help you burn calories.

Edited to fix the summary - I had written it a bit oddly.

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

Studies?

"I know it's bad, and you know it's bad, but I'm asking you to ignore what we both know to be true, look past any moral issues you might have with telling me how to do something that could potentially hurt me, and then tell me how to potentially hurt me."

:laugh:

Triple espresso and a balls to the walls workout, works for me.:bigsmile:

Here's how you rev up your metabolism. Put some sweat on the floor and eat less. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS.

Look, you don't want to be told you "can't" lose weight quickly. And there's no reason you can't. But it's going to take hard work and dedication, not a magic pill!

For one, the only ingredient in diet pills that anyone can vouch for is caffeine. I don't know what your caffeine intake is usually like, but I think you could see weight loss benefits from it. Have 2-3 cups of coffee a day and drink tons of green tea. Even better if you have it with a little lemon and maybe some spice, or add spice to your coffee - cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, whatever. Spices on or in any of your food will boost your metabolism. Stop drinking caffeine if it makes you uncomfortable/dizzy/etc.

That being said, since you're drinking all this caffeine, you're going to want to also drink 10 cups of water each day.

Everything else about weight loss is the obvious! Eat fewer calories but more nutrient-dense food. Take a vitamin every day. Then sweat your butt off. Do it every day. Stretch so you don't hurt yourself. 4 months is enough time to see good results the healthy way. Trust us, and don't do anything desperate or dangerous!

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:

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.
