I am trying lose fat at the moment and I have decided to use a fat loss supplement. In the past the only one I have tried has been biotest hot rox which worked very well for me but I am looking to try something else. I have been looking at nutrex Lipo 6 or adipose. The goal is to drop 30 pounds by july.
Black coffee.
The whole field is a homeopathic scam, but the mind is a powerful thing. If you’ve used something in the past that has worked at all, I’d stick with it. It’s your money to waste, but there’s no data to support that any of these scam preparations work. Best you might get is anecdotes about individual “success” stories.
Eat better. Exercise. I’ve lost almost 30 lbs since January. Eat more protein, less carbs, more veggies and fruit. Eat less fat and sugar.
There isn’t any magic brother. Crash diets and additives won’t keep it off. You’ve got to change your life.
Good luck. PM me if you’d like and I can give you some tips that have really helped me alot.
A former coworker was happy to announce his new work out/diet plan, which included a thermogenic product to help “kickstart” the weight loss. He was 50lbs overweight at the start, had some noticeable progress early on, and then died of heart failure in his sleep at the tender age of 23.
There are safer ways to lose the weight. It just takes time, a sensible diet, a defined exercise plan and above all the discipline to see it through.

Highly unlikely that any thermogenic supplement is responsible for that. Far more likely that the “heart failure” (whatever that is) was a result of sleep apnea, an underlying congenital lesion, or some combination of the two.
I’ve lost almost 30 pounds since January 2015. Low carb, almost no sugar, low fat, high lean protein diet coupled with regular exercise. I’m down to the last 5 pounds and it’s now a slow process. I’ve tried some fat burners and have had little no success. I’m about to quit the pills and save my liver/kidneys and keep doing what I’ve been doing.
As for the person who died, I’m not sure you can place all the blame on the pills, but they could have contributed to it for sure. Rapid weight loss can tax the body. Especially if you’re driving yourself HARD with exercise, starving yourself and popping pills. Not a good combo. There is a very real reason why all those rapid weight loss programs have some form of medical monitoring in addition to nutritionist and physical trainer support.
My wife had plateaued for years with diet, exercise and a slew of other products, then about 6 months ago tried advocare products and lost the 30lbs she was looking to lose within a couple months. It’s one of those “pyramid scheme” companies where they try to get you and your brother to sell it, which I hate, but the product has worked for her and others we know. You have to keep up with the diet, no processed foods, cheese, refined sugars, etc,etc as its not some miracle product but I know several people who use their product regularly and it does work.
The diet sucks though. Beer and pizza is not on it…
You are right, I’m sure. This was 15 years ago, I barely knew the guy, but I do remember a command sweep that banned/confiscated any such products. Guess it was easier for the Navy to give us a boogie man to fear than to attempt to clarify the situation. I still stand by my belief that losing excess weight is more a matter of sensible diet and training than relying on questionable products.

There were a few high profile deaths of people who happened to have been using certain thermogenics that caused a shit storm. The most potent version can still be acquired in most any pharmacy today. Effectiveness is debatable. I certainly will use some now and again but it’s not doing much for me. It’s not making me eat less/better or work more. People still need to be an active participant in their own weight loss.
Absolutely.
If we’re talking actual peer-reviewed science, effectiveness isn’t even remotely debateable.
I tried it twice, made me feel like shit. I’m trying to lose some weight as well, but only about 5-10 pounds. It’s a slow and frustrating process but that is still the only actual effective way to do it. I have heard great things about Advocare, but I suspect it’s nothing more than a diet. People just follow it better when they pay. Also, 30 pounds in a month and a half will be pretty unrealistic, no matter what.

If a $1/day pill only results in better diet compliance it sounds worth it.
Not sure how frustrating 5-10 pounds can really be, unless you’re doing it a really shitty way. Having to lose 5-10 pounds 5-10 times… That’s the challenge.

As I said I my first post in this thread, the mind is a powerful thing. If you can buy, bribe, or otherwise enlist its compliance with a dollar-a-day homeopathic nostrum…
The ephedrine-caffeine stack is the best combo.
Ephedrine just got really expensive though
You can get it otc at the local pharmacy as an asthma aid.
What’s your TDEE? How many cals are you ingesting per day? What macros are you following? What exercise program? How long? If you can’t answer those Qs, adding a supplement (most of which are either not effective or minimally effective) makes no sense at this juncture.
You should have everything on point (diet and exercise) and be at an absolute plateau at 6% BF trying to get to 5% BF before thinking about that.
I tell you what. I went from 211 to 185 over the last few months and have another 5# or so to go. Those last 5# are a bitch. It’s like squeezing blood from a turnip. Ideally I’d like to be around 180 and below 10% BF, but I’d settle for 15% BF or better. Pills don’t really work for me. High lean protein, low fat, low carb diet and steady exercise. I do drink lots of coffee though.
Cut your calorie intake to burn fat, period. Up the protein, veggies, and fruit. Drink a ton of water and eat 5-6 times a day. Cut out the junk (beer, fried chicken wings, dressings, sugar). Pre cook and measure/weigh your food. Once you get where you want to be it’s pretty easy to maintain.
I want from 205lb to 175lb and from a 36 inch waist to 33/32 waist.
I could agree with this. 6% body fat is pretty ripped. Getting to 5% would prob. need some help. 5% is professional bodybuilding level. I am around 9-10% and that means six-pack, definition, etc. My goal is 6-8%. No ****ing way I’ll take anything to get there. I do not mess with anything that is a stimulant. No caffeine, no anything. I am healthy and very active. No heart issues. But, I see no need to increase my risk of death, however small that increase in risk may be. I have no hard data but I would be willing to bet that the population that takes stimulants for weight loss/working out has a higher incidence of death than those that do not take it. We all know there are a gazillion factors at work in a person and pinpointing all the contributing factors to death would be impossible, but sometimes common sense has to rule the day.
