What is the best fat burning pill to take?

[Anonymous]

my body metabolism is low, so I'm thinking about taking some pill to increase my body fat burning. but I don't have much information about these kinds of pills...please share me your information or specifically if you have tried some and got positive result!

I'm no expert on 'pills' but certainly some people take things that :

- dehydrate them, which makes the scale say you're lighter but do nothing positive

- suppress appetite

- support metabolism.

Taking a drug to magically crank up your metabolism is not that safe. The amount you need to get a benefit tends to be high and it could be dangerous. What is more likely to be reasonable and useful is a drug that _supports_ metabolism while dieting. Many people who are overweight experience relatively high metabolic slowdown when under caloric deficit. I'd suggest reading the forums at bodyrecomposition.com where they discuss that sort of thing. You really should do your research before taking anything like that.

You can increase your metabolism by exercising.

It's easy to sit back and say that just because you aren't a twig skinny ectomorph, then you must have a bad metabolism. Wrong! That's just an excuse one makes when they are unwilling to fix their lazy habits.

When you exercise, you force your body to burn calories. Why? Because your muscles need fuel to function. That's the basis of what your metabolism is all about. If you sit on your ass all day your metabolism will be whack, make no mistake about it.

There's actually no "cure-all" pill that will increase your metabolism without tons of unwanted unhealthy side effects. BUT if you're looking to increase your metabolism, it's pretty simple. Instead of eating 3 large meals a day, eat 5 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up throughout the day, until pretty soon it's naturally faster :) good luck!

There is no best fat burning pill to take. They're all not that great for you to begin with. How about stop being lazy and go work out instead? I know, I know. It's harder than just popping a pill, but what do you think is gonna happen when you stop taking the pills? Life's so hard that you have to work out. It sucks. Poor thing.

Stay away from pills -- all kinds of effects from mental to physical. For years, it has been known that a lot of seizure medicines will result in weight loss but the FDA has not approved any of them for weight loss yet. Exercise and a decent diet will do the trick.

There are basically 3 types of fat burning/weight loss pills:

Metabolism boosters

Appetite Suppressants

Water loss pills

They all work to some degree but come with horrible side effects and many of which are addicting. The only real safe way of doing it is healthy nutrition and exercise.

Rather than wasting your money on expensive diet pills that are unhealthy and won't work you should visit a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Get a healthy lifestyle plan that you can stick with. You need to focus on eating healthy meals and exercising regularly.

I found a great one called diet and exercise, 100% success rate.

Your metabolism isn't slow, you're just lazy.

actually I do exercise, but I feel other people would burn more with the same tense of exercising than me!

[TheRealAttila]

True metabolic disorders are ridiculously rare, like nigh-impossible odds. If you feel you're not getting the results you should be from exercise alone, then it's your diet. It's one or the other, you're either eating too much or not exercising enough (or both possibly both). But pills aren't going to fix any of that. Even if they did work it'd only be a temporary solution.

I'm curious what her definition of exercise is. Comparing one self to others when it comes to excercise is a bit counter productive since everyone is different.

Pills don't work because as soon as you lose the weight you will gain it right back. Trust me, been there done that. And it's harder to lose the weight the second time around. The best thing you can do is make lifestyle changes. Walk an hour a day. Don't go back for seconds. Drink GREEN TEA, it helps boost metabolism.

[candlewax]

Fun fact. You have to burn 3500 calories in order to get rid of ONE pound of fat. In turn, this is why it's so much harder to get rid of than gain.

They don't work. You'll rebound and end up heavier than you are now. Read "Fit for Life" if you want to really lose weight.

How about you run? or swim? or bike?

Don't be lazy.
