If you are overweight and want to lose some fat, then an idea you might come up with is to buy some kind of fat loss pill or other kind of fat loss supplement. The problem with this is that most fat loss supplements are totally worthless without a good fat loss plan before hand. Most of the supplements are outright scams.
Therefore I never suggest buying any kind of supplement, not even protein powder (which is the only one I recommend alongside creatine monohydrate). The reason I don’t recommend any fat loss supplements is because DIET beats EXERCISE beats SUPPLEMENTS.
Read that again…
Diet > Exercise > Supplements
If you don’t have your diet down, and in tune… Your exercise won’t matter, and your supplements will be a BIG WASTE OF MONEY! Seriously, diet beats both fat loss training and fat loss supplements. You have to control your diet first, then there are good ways to exercise and bad ways to exercise. People who waste their time on fat loss supplements almsot NEVER have this part of their plan together first… That’s why they fail.
Supplements should be used to do just that, SUPPLEMENT you current fat loss plan to get the last 3-5% out of your plan. A muscle building plan needs a lot of protein, so buy whey protein… Whey protein doesn’t build muscle without proper stimulation, so just eating protein powders/drinks will make you FAAAAAAAAAT!
Losing fat is simple in theory, eat less than you use for exercise… The more calories you eat that are considered “clean calories” the faster you’ll experience success. The harder you workout (intense exercise) the more fat you’ll lose… Then there are supplements that will supress hunger etc, which might be good in combination with an already working fat loss pkan, but most of the time you don’t need anything besides a whey powder and maybe some multi-vitamins and Omega-3, Omega-6 fishoils… That’s it!! No other magic “stuff” besides following a proven plan.
Don’t waste $65 on a supplement that will do you no good, when you can follow a natural plan that sheds tons more fat… Check out Turbulence Training to learn more about what I’m talking about!
