Fat burners...do they work? - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

I have been thinking about taking a fat burner to kick up my fat loss. I already adhere to a strict workout and diet program, and I have seen results, but I figured if these fat burners work, why not give them a try.

Has anyone had any success with fat burners?

yes they work

Stim based:
thermorexin
EC (pure ephedrine and caffeine- no ephedra- no guaifenesin)

thermogens
EGCG (from green tea-when combined with caffeine)
Sesamin (sesapure)
Fish oil (epa/dha)

MAcro, are you in the states? I thought ephedrine was banned? I'm in Canada and can get it but only in 8mg tabs without caffeine. Its sold as a nasal decongestant.

I don't understand why they banned ephedrine. Less people died using it than taking aspirin or tylenol. The people that did die from it (particularly the football player) were extreme circumstances. Working out the way they push them in the sweltering heat is what did it.

The ban has been lifted in the States as Long asthere is not more then 10Mg per dosage. It could not be proven that there was any danger if taken 10mg or less.

that is the best and purest kind. I actually buy my ephedrine from canada. Its easy to get ephedrine here but harder to get pure ephedrine (this is severely limited because of its use to make methamphetamines) its usually adulterated with guaifenesin.
