All About Fat Loss Products
Losing weight or having that shredded, toned look has certainly become an obsession in society these days and has left a lot of people searching for that ‘miracle pill’ – the weight loss product that will literally strip the fat from their hips, thighs, bum (or wherever feel the need!) and drop your clothes size in days.
There’s a number of reasons people want to lose weight and a number of different slimming supplements designed to help you achieve those goals. From thermogenics and appetite suppressants, to carb blockers and thyroid regulators, each product has its own way of cutting your body fat down, leaving you with a further choice of stacking two or more fat strippers together for the ultimate in weight management.
Of course, a sensible diet and exercise program are always recommended as the best way to help lose weight, do that well and the supplements will do the rest.
Types of fat loss products
Thermogenic Fat Burners
Thermogenic supplements contain powerful blends of active, yet natural ingredients that have been developed over the years to be more effective at helping people lose weight, without the need for Ephedra, a drug that some people find hard to tolerate (side-effects can make you a little jittery).
Thermogenic fat strippers raise your body temperature ever so slightly, which increases your metabolism and causes you to burn more calories, even when not physically active.
Carb Blockers
Products such as BSN’s Cheaters Relief are great carb and fat inhibitors. They work by increasing the storage of nutrients in muscle cells and decreasing the storage in fat cells. So, instead of excess carbs being turned into fat, they are stored as Glycogen and stored in your muscle cells (not fat cells) or burnt up for energy.
This has the unique advantage of enabling you to ‘cheat’ during those tedious, strict diets and prevents you tiring of the healthy option and enjoy a naughty snack once in a while.
If you want a really effective fat loss effort, try stacking a carb blocker like BSN’s Cheaters Relief alongside a thermogenic, for example, such as CNP Pro Lean or SAN Nutrition’s Tight and you’re guaranteed to shift those pounds fast!
The fat loss market is evolving and manufacturers are looking to combine powerful ingredients and product the next generation in weight loss help.
These products were designed to replace the Ephedra based fat strippers by enhancing the effects, without the negative sides. Not only do these supplements help you strip fat and suppress your appetite, there main function is to boost energy and give you more intense workouts, increasing your metabolism and helping you lose weight fast.
Fat Binders
Working much the same as Carb Blockers, these products help bind fat in the digestive tract, therefore greatly assisting in weight loss. The now famous fat blocking ingredient is Chitosan, which is being added to more and more fat strippers and can bind over 7 times its weight in fat!
Thyroid Regulators
These weight loss supplements are thyroid replacements for what is normally produced in the body so allows you to regulate and optimise your thyroid so it performs at a higher level than it could on its own, which combined with a sensible diet and exercise plan, will help you shift weight, FAST!
Products like those below can also help increase calorie expenditure, alter your metabolic rate and promote protein synthesis allowing you to add lean mass to your frame.
Appetite Suppressants
One of the hardest parts of losing weight is attempting to suppress that ravenous appetite that may have got you in trouble in the first place. Not just resisting those sweet treats, but stopping yourself eating every time your brain sends you a hint of a hunger signal. Appetite suppressing products greatly aid in fat loss by simply stopping you feeling hungry so often and allowing you to eat more sensibly and less often.
Of course, products like these are best used when your main goal is losing weight, not during a cutting cycle when you want to keep those hard earned gains and can’t regulate your calorie intake too excessively.
Cortisol Suppressors
Cortisol is a primary stress hormone, released by our bodies when under severe pressure and told to increase our appetites and fat storage. Therefore, products which control the release of this hormone and suppress the fact that it tells our brain’s we’re hungry and persuades our cells to store fat, leads to enhanced weight loss. Of course, products which include this effect also aid weight loss in other ways.
Other Weight Loss Products
It’s not just the advanced fat strippers and thermogenic’s that will aid you in your quest for the six pack. A number of other supplements have been shown to help people lose weight.
Protein Bars – easy to carry and relatively low in calories, protein snack bars can help suppress hunger, provide essential protein and help us resist snacking on things we shouldn’t
