My trainer recommended me to have fat burning pills.....he said that it is a supplement..u have to do the workout And the diet....Am fine with that..
But I Wanna know whether there are side effects for the pills(every shortcut have some issues know!) And is the side effect a long term one?
P's: I didn't start taking

Your training is getting a cut of the money from the pills. You don't need them.0

What's in the pills? What did your trainer charge you for the pills? Have you tried Googling the brand name or ingredients for the pills? Have you talked with your trainer about what's in the pills and what evidence there is to support the efficacy of the pills?
PS : At this time, there are no pills beyond a few prescription medications which are actually proven to help with fat loss.0 -

All extremely valid questions and points that need to be answered. One more point to add would be to talk to your Doctor about the supplement and any interaction it might cause with medications you might be on or side effects for any of your health conditions.0 -
Just avoid them. There is no such thing as a "fat burning pill"0

More than likely he gave you what is essentially a caffeine pill. Find a new trainer, he's selling you something he gets a cut of from the company that makes it. Really wouldn't take a pill from a trainer.0

Either a caffeine pill or the kind that keeps your body from processing fat, which is bad because dietary fat doesn't mean body fat. I wouldn't take them. (Don't get me wrong, I've jumped down that rabbit hole, I just won't do it again)0

If not violating a state law, your "trainer" is violating the ethical standards of every professional fitness organization. If you spend one more $$ or one more minute with him, you are a fool.0

Cardio/hitt burns fat..the pills do very little if anything, you have to have low body fat to see if the pills have any effect.. oxymoron huh..so get out there and burn some fat thru cardio...avoid the supplement trap.0

Google the name of the pills, and find out the main ingredient and possible side effects. Most fat burners use caffeine or green tea extract as a base ingredient. But no you don't need the pills to see results, I would just stick to HITT cardio and make sure you are eating at a caloric deficit. Maybe tell your trainer you would rather not take them.0

lots of these pills have issues relating to thyroids etc... because they are meant to unbalance your bodys natural heat production/cooling - making your body hotters makes you burn calories (apparently) but overheating etc is a side affect (not saying this is fact just things i have read)0

Cheese cake factory > Diet pills
Calorie deficit > Diet pills0 -

If it's the second kind, better start wearing a diaper now. If it's the first kind, coffee is a lot cheaper and generally doesn't have a bunch of noxious fillers in it either.
Your 'trainer' is just a pusher. Run away as fast as you can to find a good person with real knowledge who will help you instead of hurt you.0 -
I would definitely not take them ><0

Hire a new trainer ASAP. Tell the old one that you are leaving for the simple reason he/she suggested you take fat burning pills which is nothing more than being a shill.0
