    Most of these "fat burners" don't work. You could just drink a few double espresso's and get the same result. The problem with these things is they created a dependance on the user because they artificially cause fat loss you can't sustain unless you keep using them.

    I don't mean to be totally obtuse, but what do you mean "they artificially cause fat loss" ? Thanks for the response!

    They use stimulants to increase basal metabolic rate to burn fat.

    My opinion, I use them, they work for me. Just not this one.

    I'm also curious about them, my boyfriend bought some and I have always thought 'fat burning' pills seem too gimmick-y.

    Ripped Freak is not a gimmick; it works. I know from personal experience, but just because it's worked for me, doesn't mean it will work for you. When I started cycling RF, I started heavy training 5 days a week, light cardio 2 days a week, and clean eating 110% of the time. I also did a LOT of research before I started taking the supplement as I am sensitive to caffeine. My last 3 week cycle I lost 17 pounds and 9 inches. I'm on an off cycle right now and the pounds and inches are continually dropping.

    Keeping the weight and inches off is a personal decision, not the supplements decision. You can't take a powerful fat burner like RF and expect to work out once or twice a week and see a difference. If you're not willing to make a lifestyle change, this pill isn't for you. And if you're not willing to stay dedicated to the lifestyle change when you're cycling off of RF then yes, likely you would gain it back.

    You can continuously use RF for up to 8 - 12 weeks straight. After using for 8 - 12 weeks, you will want to take an off cycle of 2 - 4 weeks.

    Research, research, research people! :wink:

    wouldnt it be the clean eating and training hard causing you to lose the inches and weight and not some diet pill? or am i missing something?

    This. If you were training as hard as you say you were, you could have been taking sugar pills and had the same results.

    i like their pre-workout. but the only time i ever take fat burners or thermogenics is when i'm gonna be busting my butt for 12+ hr work days. some of those things pack some giddy-up
  • Clean eating and heavy training didn't always work on their own for me. I was loosing inches (in small amounts), but not pounds. I also don't have a gallbladder so my body doesn't digest fat like others.

    Like I said, it's worked for me. Maybe it won't work for the next person but if you're willing to commit than I think it's worth a shot.

    The biggest problem with fat burners now is that most stimulants that are worth a crap are now illegal in most Western countries. A few fatties OD on the stuff and have heart attacks, and suddenly you can't buy the good stuff anymore.

    I just bought some some this week. Going to give t a try. I only want to lose about 10-15 more lbs. Eating clean and bodybuilding with 30 - 60 minutes of cardio on my off days.

    I agree w chmi1983! Giving R.F a try, I'll let everyone know soon :) I gotta commit to healthy eating lifestyle again though as it's 80% what you out in your mouth & 20% exercise,

    Okay I stopped taking R.F mainly bc I was not eating clean and did not want to waste my money or time using the product. Now, I'm back to using the product. Wow! I took it again today (3rd day) and went to the gym. I did a lot of cardio, & did not want to stop even though I hit 10 miles on the " life fitness" elliptical (which was set on random, level 14-15...then manual, level 16 & 15). I still did a bit more cardio (running) & some strength train. The sweat was dripping off me, I was sweaty & gross, but I enjoyed the workout! R.F does work.

    But your diet has to be decent or just clean, and you have to have good digestion in order for this product to be effective. Before when I took r.f I was horribly lethargic & had headaches, at the same time I was not digesting food properly (due to consuming the wrong foods for my system). The 1 probiotic capsule (for digestion) was not helping. I was just being bad with my diet.

    Right now I'm taking a few renew life 50 billion probiotic capsules. I'm taking a few a day to kickstart my system into functioning as it should, as well as to help clean my body of junk. My digestion is good, though my diet is also better.

    I wanted to share this as I've read reviews on r.f & some people commented that they became tired & lethargic instead of energetic. After my experience, I wondered if those individuals had an unhealthy diet & poor digestion.

    I will continue to take this product until I reach my goal.

    Good luck to everyone in achieving your health goals!


    Btw, some of you may think I spent a heck of a long time doing cardio, however my body is use to a lot of it. Ive been involved in organized sports since I was a kid, & later during my undergrad was on the university's cross country running team.

    Paying extra for just a strong dose of caffeine and GC. No need to and eventually you'll build a tolerance to it.

    Having looked at the ingredients it is effectively a multi vitamin, caffeine pill and a cup of geeen tea and some chilli blended together.

    It will raise the metabolism but as said above you will get used to it and then it will lessen the effects.

    It is a very expensive way of having a redbull and cup of green tea each day.

    Anyone who thinks this is the reason they lost weight is deluding themselves.

    Its probably better used as a caffeine shot pre workout than anything else but again a caffeine pill would do the same job for a hundrendth of the price

    Eat less. Do more. Lose fat. No cost method that works without side-effect.
