Anyone who uses fat burners is a fool! I'm sorry. All the prescription ones have side effects and are banned in some countries. All the health food type lines like Ma Huang and Ephedra etc are all downright dangerous, even for a normal person let alone one with high blood pressure. Stay well away from them. Diet and exercise are the only thing that works. Yo yo dieting is also dangerous. If you must lose weight quick maybe you can go on a low carb diet - you know - one or two liquid protein meals a day and very low carbs. But they may give you an almighty headache and you need to drink gallons of water with them.
