    Useless. That's just not how the body works.
    Most "fat burners" include caffeine or some herbal stimulant that makes you feel either warmer or more energetic so you think it's doing something, but it's not.

    The only real fat burner is a calorie deficit, either from eating less or exercising more. Don't waste your money.

    I know you really want a short cut :smile: but if the short cuts worked, every one on the street would look like a celebrity.

    Thanks girl! ❤️

    Good for those who make them,

    Bad for your finances.

    Objectively irrelevant for their stated purpose.

    The prescription fat burners with appetite curbers... Those work for sure!

    The ones off the shelf typically do not help much if at all

    Pros:

    They make money for the schiesters selling them.

    Cons:

    They don't work.
    You're paying for something that doesn't work.
    You might as well set your cash on fire.

    On balance, I say don't take them.

    Back in the day when I had no clue as to what I was doing, I tried shelf bought “fat burners” and they did help to surpress my appetite, because the main ingredients are usually caffeine and caffeine does suppress my appetite, I could’ve just drank espresso and save some $$$$

    I used to take instant knockout , it worked for me to some extent but on the downside I was started getting insomnia because my heartbeat was constantly elevated. I stopped it since than .
