I have never tried fat burning supplements because I know there are be many side effects however, I am interested in hearing if anyone has had success with fat burners with little side affects. I am worried about anxiety and jitters.

    The only truly effective fat burners are illegal.

    And to add to that, it's because they are exceedingly dangerous - even while hospitalized under a doctor's care, people were dying from them.

    Supplements are great for losing weight in the wallet area. A cup of coffee is as effective as most of the things you'll find being sold.

    I've tried a few. The only thing they burn is money.

    have no idea re their efficacy, but, you can just buy some acetyl-L carnitine in bulk and use that. That's the basic ingredient in them anyway plus caffeine.

    my coach had me on oxyshred. I can't say whether it worked or not because a) I was doing 5000000000000000000000000000 hours of cardio on top of my weights and b) I was eating at a deficit

    soooooooooo - I lost weight. and fast. Can't say whether the oxyshred (PLUS extra scoop of acetyl L carnitine and L Tyrosine) actually did anything though considering the above. Tastes good but :) And also helped me get up and walk at 5am when all I wanted to do was sleep for the rest of my life LOL

    If it's effective, it's not legal. If it's legal, it's not effective. And if it's effective, it has significant side effects.

    Anything you can legally buy over the counter or via supplement stores is useless garbage hyped up by false advertising and often borderline fraudulent claims. The things which actually work are scheduled controlled substances and it's a felony to buy/possess them.

    Denmark has a study running 20 plus years now on ephedrine and weight loss.

    Not one single person has died from it. It's media BS hyped up and they always have to blame someone or something in America. Even if it's not true.

    Supplements don't burn fat unfortunately. Companies upsell these products but the only way to burn fat is through diet and exercise.

    If there was a magic pill to make you burn fat, no one would be over weight...

    Except the poor who can't afford the magic pill and the people who don't care enough to research it.

    I went through a "fat pill" stage years ago. The last EFFECTIVE one was ephedra + caffine + plus a few others.... basically it was speed. You weren't hungry and you didn't even want to sit down so you were constantly moving. Yeah, it worked, but it was obviously dangerous and stupid, which is why those old formulas are illegal now. The last time I took one (starting back after a lay off) I got light headed, began vomiting, racing heart rate, thought I was going to pass out. Last one I ever took and that about the time they were banned.

    Please don't go down that road.

    Obesity is such a big (no pun intended) problem for so many nations that I would imagine that governments or health insurance companies would be keen to provide the magic pills for free. Unless they were massively expensive it would work out cheaper.

    My name is Ron Robinson. Friend of mine told me in June about a fat burning weight-loss coffee. I've been on it since June 4 I have lost 9 pounds and 11 inches. You can get information about it at: www.seethecoffeediet.info

    ECA stacks are fine, but they require mindful dosage, like anything else that actually works. It's this same fear mongering that's led to problems with the DMAA supply. Some idiots in the military OD on the stuff and have heart attacks, and suddenly a witch hunt starts. If we banned everything everytime someone overdosed on it, there'd be nothing available ever, including water.

    Yes, I am totally sure that at burning supplements had something to do with this.

    They are not fat burners but cash burners .I would rather suggest green tea , coffee and drinking warm water with lemon and a tsp of cinnamon in the morning . Cinnamon powder may have some side effects on some people .Check them before having it.

    Do what I did. Discount Starbucks cards and walking to Starbucks. Get some good headphones and blast Metallica. After a few sips you'll walk like 5 miles happily. Fat burning coffee

    The best fat burner is nutrition. Dropped 50 lbs in the last 5 months without one single type of supplement, crazy workouts or insane diet. It all comes down to the food.

    ECA has been extensively researched and can be safe to use.
