I took meth burner and wow i lost my weight and my mind

[curtissiebold]

I'm so glad people are speaking the truth about this. I almost got tempted to buying fat burners at one point but I saw similar videos like this one.

[marcmcphee]

Fat burners are the K&N sticker on a car hahahaha. Justin nailed it. Great stuff 💪

[ShezanSaleemakaJOG]

I remember the first time I took Hydroxicut in 2009, I had a bad reaction. Had rashes all over my chest. Mad jitters. That was the first and last time I ever used fat burner.

Would you say the effects are equivalent to pre-workout energy supplements?

[dhubbard]

I did the old school ECA stack in law school - then forced myself to eat rabbit food. The old school ECA worked - then it didn't plus back then we were buying pharma grade ephedra - which later became illegal. I personally "cycled" any stipulate while being mindful to ensure that I was eating healthy and not over doing it. Furthermore, I ensured I maintained my vitamin routine. People that simply ingest whatever comes off the shelf without doing their homework, well their dumb. Case in point. Chitoson is commonly put into various fat burners - does it have a value(?) Sure, but Chitoson is derived from crustaceans (viz., shellfish). Many people have a shellfish allergy. I don't, but many do... Do some homework before popping any pill. There are many horror stories out there from people that don't. Jus' saying.

I took fat burners in the past and they worked amazingly. Yeah I’m taking them again because depression caused me to gain weight back but as long as I take them, workout hard, eat right, and stay in a caloric deficit I’m seeing results quickly

[ronnie_]

Agreed. I was taking the ECA stack and Fat Burners (Not at the same time) 😁 And always felt the fat loss came from the extra energy they gave me to run, bike and swim farther not necessarily from the stack or burners themselves. Good to hear this.

Best one I tried is Shredded AF from steel supplements it’s worth the 60 bucks. I run everyday and have hit a plateau in my weight loss and need something to suppress my appetite and the caffeine so I’m gonna get some for that reason to lose 15 lbs more I’ve lost 37 so far and all I’ve done is intermittent fasting 16/8 run/walk the treadmill for 25 min and just healthy food choices. Good luck to everyone out there.

I'm looking at a ryse fat burner pill, ik ryse is a reliable brand. Would it be a good supplement

[mywnpnn]

Amazing content. We need more honest stuff like this!

[mytownyourtown]

I find supplements to help most from their placebo effect. I know if I invest in a fat burner, protein, BCAAs, vitamin, preworkout, pump matrix, creatine or whatever it may be it keeps me driven to stick with my better eating choices and the gym. I know if I make a preworkout drink, interaworkout drink and post workout protein then I will no long let myself skip out on the gym and having these mentally drives me to workout longer or harder regardless of their actual impact. If Im on a fat burner cycle then Im consciously noting that when I choose my food/portions and therefore make better choices. I think the fat burners and supplements help to some degree and sometimes perhaps a negligible degree, but the mental aspect is where they shine....at least for me because I'm money/time conscious and those aspects keep me on my toes and engaged with the goal.

I took black stone labs Arson fat burner. It works amazing but I had to deal with multiple side effects. Kills your appetite. But I got increased anxiety, chills, massive jitters. Flushing probably due to BP increase

[lifewithphoenix]

What about the non-caffeine natural fat burner like the ones from musclepharm?

[Tonixxy]

I buy it not for "fat burning" but appetite suppression. When craving hits, i pop a pill and no longer want that candy.

[nashalad]

what are you guys thoughts on supplements with meal plan

[johnnytrejo]

The best ones that worked back in the day was Twinlabs Ripped Fuel the Original w/ Ephedrine and Xanedrine RFA-1 the original before they banned Ephedrine and Ultimate Orange. They worked with the proper diet and training.

[CraftwithGeeta]

I use fat burners from time to time & it works very well when i need faster results. Like they said, you should have a plan to come off of it otherwise they will just make you feel normal. I take it for a while (mostly 2-3 months max) and then start reducing the amount slowly and then cut it off. It works well but have a short term plan for it!

I'm 46, been a natural lifter and gym junkie since my early 30s. Have never taken fat burners until recently. My main supps over the years has been whey, creatine, citrulline, and zma. Sometimes a preworkout or glutamine when my nervous system or mental focus is taxed. Everything else I get from food, ocean, sunshine. Not sure if this is a thermogenic supplement but research tells me it does not actually burn fat, instead it helps to prevent fat from being stored too quickly and to use stored fat as energy. So after years of avoiding it I finally decided to give it a go. In a month I went from looking over 20% bodyfat to below 15%. No change in diet or exercise. I count calories and have always been mindful of what Im eating, but for the past few years my body has still looked good except for that last bit of stubborn fat around the midsection. That incomplete look which frustrated me. I still count calories and i also try to keep my eating window to 8 hours everyday so my body is not constantly digesting food. But since taking l cartinine it feels like my body is able to get the blood flowing in that area and target stored fat. Maybe its placebo but i can literally see my belly fat coming off little by little every day.

Thankyou now I'm 100% taking them😂 I need to lose this appetite
