Weight Loss Products—
Healthy Eating Habits Combined with Great Workout
Routines are Your Best Bets
Is there a silver
bullet to weight loss? No way! Eating right and
exercise are the most important factors in a healthy
lifestyle. So where do weight loss products
fit in?
Sport nutritionists say that diet plans with the
right composition of complex carbohydrates, protein
and fat, plus regular workouts are the keys to
results. They're right. But what about weight loss
supplements? Can they help too?
Before you lay your money down for a bottle
of magical weight loss pills, here's an alternative
program that I've purchased AND used with great
results.
If you are looking for an alternative to supplements, champion
bodybuilder and fitness trainer Tom Venuto offers
"Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" (BFFM)—a
337 page fat burning success manual.
It contains contains
all the nutritional information, diet plans, and
training schedules you need to help
you shed body fat without muscle loss
and without using drugs or unnecessary weight
loss products.
Whatever your goals, when you finally decide to
stop making the same mistakes that have been holding
you back and you diligently begin applying the
techniques in
"Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle",
Venuto says you can literally choose any body you
want:
- The body of a competitive bodybuilder or fitness
model
- A lean and ripped body with "six pack abs," and
nice muscle definition,
- A fit and lean body with nice shape, and enough
definition so you can see your abs and look good in
a bathing suit.
- Just look better than you do now.
Weight loss products
without ephedrine
Today, the sport
nutrition industry is decidedly anti-ephedrine. Ephedrine-free weight
loss products are being aggressively marketing by
all supplement manufacturers.
Until recently, products marketed with the ECA stack (Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin) have been
the most popular and successful supplement in diet
plans to help you lose weight fast. Ephedrine, from
the plant compound Ephedra (or ma-huang), has been
linked to extreme reactions such as high blood
pressure, heart attack, and stroke. In the US and
Canada these type of products have been pulled from
shelves.
Supplement companies have now developed new lines
of weight loss products without ephedrine. A couple
of popular brands include
Xenadrine EFX and
Hydroxycut (without
Ephedirine).
These products contain other thermogenic, or fat
burning ingredients such as willow bark, synepherine
(Bitter Orange), guarana, and yerba mate. These
products may also rely on stimulants such as
caffeine.

In combination with exercise and
healthy diet plans, there are a few herbal
supplements that promote fat burning so that you can
lose weight fast.
The following herbal supplements can be found in
individual or compound formulations:
- GLA (evening primrose oil, borage oil):
essential fatty acids that promote fat burning
- dandylion root and milk thistle:
decrease fat storage rate in liver cells and
promote fat burning
