Weight Control Supplements
On the market today are a number of supplements that are advertised to help keep your weight (body fat) under control.
The first group of products are ephedra based. As I’m sure you’ve heard, ephedra works as a metabolic elevator and an appettite supressent. Amazingy, it actually works (to a degree), but also comes with very unsafe side-effects such as heart palpitations and headaches. The bottom line in, ephedra based pills may “assist” in weight loss, but you can’t lose weight with them alone. Furthermore, the serious health risks associated with ephedrine, to me, do not make it a viable choice.
Well what about ephedra-free fat burners? I’ve done a lot of research, and for the most part, the benefits, if any, are very minimal, yet you’re going to spend $50+ for a months supply. Again, not worth it.
Plus, introducing extreme amounts of caffein, aspirine, etc (as are in these supplements) is hard on your body and liver.
