If you take fat burners, after you stop does your body become any less efficient at burning fat?

Don't answer this unless you know or can cite something.

No, your body does not become less efficient, it simply goes back to the way it was before you took them. Which is why fat burners and diet pills are not a good way to lose weight unless you want to be on them forever. They speed up your metabolism while you are on them, and also suppress your appetite. But when you stop them, your metabolism returns to normal, and your appetite returns to normal. So once you stop taking them, and your metabolism slows down and you start eating more again, you start gaining weight again. Which is why it would "seem" as if your body is less efficient at burning fat.
So if you really want to lose weight and keep it off, you should do it in a healthy way. Dont diet. Diets are temporary and most people dont stick with them. Plus when you are done dieting, you go back to eating the same old foods and gain the weight back. And trying to starve yourself on a diet is not healthy. You have to permanently change your diet. Not less food, just healthier food choices. Drink lots of water, end excercise. This will raise your metabolism naturally, and keep it raised.

well i do know alot about those thigns knowing that half my friends have eating disorders and abuse them. if you take a good amount then you can become tolerant. and with you being tolerant you need to take more. then you become dependant and need them to function... i.e. burn fat. if you stop taking them you probably most definitly will gain weight. your body is lets say fair at burning fat. then you take fat burners and they make you a super fat burning machien. then you stop and your body is so used to relying on the pills that it doesn't work as hard to brun fat. so yes there can be a dependency and your body probably will become less efficient from relying on the fat burner. but if you take the right amount and dont ABUSE them ... you'll be fine. ask your doctor.

No. In fact, some fat burning products recommend that once you reach your goal, you use them every four or six months, for a few weeks, just to maintain your weight loss since your metabolism decreases by 5% each decade as you age.

I would say no, but it would go back to how it burned fat before you started taken the stuff.. I know I have a throid problem so I take stuff to make my metabolizem faster but when I stop it goes back to how slow it was before.. If you are uncertain you can always ask your doctor or research it online.
