I won a competition run by my local health food store (Health 2000 for those of you in NZ).

What I won was a bottle of Ripped Freak Hybrid Fat Burner Tablets (http://www.rippedfreak.com/index.cfm?pagepath=RIPPED_FREAK&id=19882).

I have absolutely NO experience with supplements and have no idea whether or not I should try them. They sound attractive with the fat burning and all, but are they worth the experiment?
I'm only 1.55m (5ft1") and 58kg (128lb) - these tablets are meant for bigger people then me, right?? So if I take them could there be negative side effects because my body cannot handle the dose?

They are made up of a lot of stuff that I have never heard of and do not know the effects these ingredients have on the body (http://www.rippedfreak.com/index.cfm?pagepath=RIPPED_FREAK/RF_Supplement_Facts&id=19883).

I have no idea. Would love your advise if you have taken them, or anything else like them before!!! :happy:

    All I'd say is you are doing well without them. I wouldn't use them personally. Energy in to Energy out - thats all weight loss is about.

    fat burners are only thermogenic foods.
    Thermogenic foods are food that provide the ability to higher body's temperature (thermogenesis), thus making bigger energy releasing (caloric expenditure) for a given task - even when you rest.
    In the end you'd higher your metabolism (more calories burn)
    Thermogenic supplements or "fat burners" are just a mix of nice thermogenic food :
    - theine
    - cafeine
    - spices,
    -etc...

    In fact save your money, don't buy em

    But since you won them.. Either try them or sell them (my vote's w the later one - just think how much money you can make off those supplement-sculling addicts!)
