Fat Burner question please??



Recommended Posts

:help:

I'm thinking to use some kind of fat burner to help my weight loss. Do you recommend any? I don't want anything with stimulants or caffeine in it, but basically to burn fat and/or gain some muscle. Thank you,

Elena

The best fat burner around is good old fashioned exercise! It is caffeine free too! Seriously though, I dont know about taking a fat burner pill....I pretty much got banded because I had taken so much of that crap and done so many diets, they obviously were NO miracle for me. I hear that the EGCG in green tea helps metabolise fat and it stimulant free. Maybe some green tea capsules or drinking a couple of cups a day would give you the boost you are looking for.

Elena,

My good friend says that green tea hypes her up :) - so be careful.

Do you have a vitamin/herb supply store close by? Maybe they could recommend something.

Was it Chrom. Piconate (sp?) that was used to burn fat?

Whatever you find, please share the info. :biggrin1:

NO! I dont recommend GNC. Several reasons why.

Do you have anything locally owned? Or try asking your pharmacist, maybe they have an idea.

One thing against the fat burners might be the pills themselves. I cannot take big pills, and need to use liquids, dissolving tabs or crush them up.

Many fat burners are time-release, so you shouldn't crush them.

I know I couldn't get one past my band.

Hey Paul - which ones have YOU tried? (just curious)

Before my band... probably all of them.

Zenadrine, Cortislim, Chromium picconolate (sp), amino acid combos, green tea, Stacker, Ephedra, and more.

The only thing I usually got from them was at most, the jitters, but no weight loss.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
