Fast Facts on "Fat Burners"
Fast Facts on "Fat Burners"
Fat burners encourage the body to use stored fat for energy, decrease the rate at which excess calories are turned into body fat, or enhance metabolismWhile there isn't a standard definition for the phrase "fat burner," diet experts generally agree these are substances that
- encourage the body to use stored fat for energy,
- decrease the rate at which excess calories are turned into body fat, or
- enhance metabolism-the rate at which the body burns calories.
Products or foods that suppress appetite or promote a feeling of fullness, such as fiber, are not true fat burners, though they may be labeled that way, and still may be useful aids to weight loss.
Tried and true
Several dietary supplements and natural substances have been studied for their fat-burning effects, including:
Green tea. Research has shown green tea supplements can promote modest weight loss-a few pounds in short-term studies of up to 12 weeks, when compared to placebo-and may help prevent weight regain. Catechins, one component of green tea, appear to have a variety of fat-burning effects, including increasing metabolism and the use of fat for fuel, and decreasing the rate at which body fat is created and stored. Green tea has a good track record of safe use.
Capsaicin. Capsaicin is the spicy-hot component of red chili peppers, and one randomized trial found that people lost twice the weight taking capsaicin compared with a placebo, over a 12-week period. The total effect was small, however: the capsaicin group lost about 2 pounds compared to a 1-pound loss in the placebo group. Capsaicin appears to increase metabolism, and supplements of up to 6 grams of capsaicin per day are considered safe and are well tolerated by most people.
L-carnitine. Our bodies make and use L-carnitine to transport fat within cells, so that the fat can be burned for energy. Studies support that L-carnitine supplements improve fat burning in the body, but clinical trials have yet to show a weight-loss benefit in obese people. L-carnitine may be useful for improving athletic performance, however, and up to 3 grams per day is considered safe.
New kids on the block
Raspberry ketones. When given to mice on a high-fat, high-calorie diet, raspberry ketones protected against excess weight gain and fat accumulation in the liver. Mice aren't people, however, so keep an eye out for future research, which should clarify what kind of effects raspberry ketones may have for weight-loss in people.
Bitter orange (Citrus aurantium). This product became more popular after the 2004 FDA ban on ephedra supplements. Bitter orange has effects similar to ephedra, including increasing metabolism, blood pressure, and heart rate, which can translate into weight loss. While bitter orange appears to be safe for short-term use-weeks, not months-in healthy adults, it also may have similar adverse effects as ephedra, so use it with caution if you have underlying health issues, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
Thermogenics. Thermogenics refers to a broad category of substances that cause the body to produce heat through increased metabolism. Examples include fucoxanthin, a supplement derived from brown seaweed, and 7-KETO DHEA, a manufactured hormone that is related to, though not the same as, the naturally occurring human hormone DHEA. Even caffeine and green tea are considered to have some thermogenic action in the body. As with many fat-burning supplements, thermogenics can be safe for short-term use in healthy adults. However, if you have underlying health issues, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, you may need to steer clear of thermogenic weight-loss products.
Other ways to fight the fat
Fat burners may be worth a try, but if you have a pre-existing medical issue, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney or liver disease, high blood pressure, or heart disease, check with your doctor before trying these products. And regardless of whether or not you add a fat burner to your weight management plan, there are many other steps you can take to kick start your metabolism and nudge the number on the scale in the desired direction.
Water. You may have heard it before, but it bears repeating: staying well hydrated can help with fat loss. Aim for 64 ounces of water per day and you'll likely feel better and may be less tempted to snack mindlessly. Other noncaloric options such as hot or iced tea or sparkling water count too.
Fiber. Fiber-from food and supplements-may be helpful to weight-loss efforts. Fiber will fill you up and has other health benefits too, such as lowering cholesterol. Focus on fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains and raw vegetables and fruit, and slowly add a fiber supplement, such as psyllium or inulin-a type of fiber which comes from chicory root-if desired. Don't forget the water, which your body needs to process the extra roughage.
Effective exercise. High-intensity interval training can burn lots of calories quickly. This kind of exercise involves going all out-so you're breathing hard enough that talking is difficult-for a short time, such as 30 to 60 seconds, followed by a minute or two of lower-intensity activity to recover. The cycle is repeated up to 10 times for a 20-minute workout. Alternate these workouts with regular physical activity throughout the week, and as your fitness improves, you can increase the high-intensity portion of the workout, and decrease the active rest period. If you aren't exercising regularly already, talk to your doctor before starting a high-intensity interval training workout plan.

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
This is a great product. It is not full of ingredients that you never heard of. It has only quality, research proven ingredients. Also for those of you that compete in organizations that have very strict rules of supplements you can and cannot use. You will not run into any problems with this product because everything is all natural.
RIPPED gives you a high dose of Rasberry Ketones unlike a lot of other products which have been proven to aid in fat loss.
L-Carnitine-l-tartrate which turns fat into energy
Dandelion root extract helps pull subcataneous water from the body to help you see results faster.
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that has an abundance of benefits..fights cancer, burns fat, etc.
I also like the fact that it is not full of just caffeine which can burn out your adrenal glands.
Yohimbe and cayenne pepper are proven to increase thermogenisis.
Overall great product with proven indredients.- Gender:

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
I use this product as a daily energy and metabolism boost. Ripped has many great ingredients within that boost metabolism and have other great health qualities. Caffeine, Cayanne Pepper, Green Coffee, Yohimbe Bark all of these ingredients are great energy and metabolism boosters. The other compounds such as the Raspberry Ketones and Dandelion Root are great compounds for shredding fat and also have other health benefits. Just look up dandelion root and there will be several sites with lists of great health benefits. Dr. "Oz" has some articles about both of the compounds if you're interested. This is a great supplement and combination of ingredients to help melt fat away. I just received the product about a week ago so I haven't experience the full benefits, but I do notices great energy during the day and during my workouts. The only con in regards to this supplement is it's price, although you don't have to take a pill every day as recommended if you chose. You could take the supplement when you need some energy or before a workout. If you do this then it takes around 30-45 minutes to begin working on an empty stomach. Only take this on an empty stomach as it will be less effective if you take with food. Great supplement, a bit expensive, but a great supplement with great fat burning ingredients.

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
Very well made product. It has perfect ingredients to make a great fat burner. The best part about this product is that it works everytime, and is never too intense or not intense enough. I feel that this is a very safe product in comparison to the many i have tried. This is a very safe choice and a deal as well.
I would like to thank MuscleTech for giving me the free sample to give this an honest opinion of the product.- Gender:

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
I tried this as a pre-workout. Was fairly impressed with the increased energy level. Was like having a energy drink on a empty stomach. No jitters or crash which was nice. Noticed a lot more sweat which makes sense due to ingredients. Would be a good item to use as a leaner/cutter.

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
Before I start, this review is based on a single serving, so here is my first reaction on the product. On that note, I will be reviewing the energy portion of this product and also appetite suppression.
Energy(8/10)- Pretty good jitter free energy in this department. Took one cap on an empty stomach and felt it kick in within 20 minutes. It provided me the necessary energy to get me through my morning at work, which is pretty good for a thermogenic. I am no stranger to thermogenics and this one was pretty good. I love the fact that it is 1 cap per serving and 2 if you're a stim junkie. It contains about 200mg of caffeine per serving, which is a decent amount.
Appetite suppression(9/10)- Like I stated earlier, I took this on an empty stomach and noticed that I was not that hungry after taking it. I still was able to eat, just not as much as I normally would. This a plus for someone looking to cut their meals down a bit.
In conclusion, Im impressed off the get go. I can definitely see results after finishing this bottle, but I wanted to put up this review to show how it affected me.- Gender:

Comments about EPIQ Ripped:
I was selected to try this product out and the name of this product says it all. It is EPIQ and it will get you RIPPED. I like stims so this was right up my alley. I was able to take 2 pills daily and it realy gave me great energy throughout the day.I was able to unwind before bed so it didnt keep me stimmed out all night like some products do. Great thermogenics as long as you stay hydrated. I also like the fact that this is a "clean" product and the profile is awesome.
