I've been exercising lifting weights and cardio for 4 years in addition to eating healthy and on a high protein diet and i still have a bit of fat that i can't seem to lose. I am considering taking a fat burner supplement to help out. Does anyone have knowledgable advice to offer? I'm wondering how these work as the guy at the health store said you dont gain back weight if you go off of them, that the supplement helps your body boost its own metabolism, sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

There are no pills that literally burn fat. There are some that cause you to burn more calories by stimulating adrenaline release (stimulants) and others that increase body temperature (thermogenics). Other weight loss pills will bind with food and form an undigestible glob when you take them before you eat. If you are a body builder and trying to get lower body fat you need to make sure you don't lose muscle mass when you lose weight, because that will prevent your body fat percentage from going down. Don't do long aerobic exercise routines and don't go on super low calorie diets. Do more reps and more sets to get more ripped.

To be honest its better to do it naturally with exercises. Most of those pills are full of crap you don't want in your body. Try isolating the muscle group you are having problems with and do what is called a super set. You preform 3 or 4 exercises back to back for one muscle. For example for the triceps try a tricep extension, a basic cable row, diamond push ups and then a tricep kickback. Do 3 set of 15 reps. Start out at a comtorable but challenging weight :) good luck

Why don't you join this clinical trial..someday.
Obesity is an increasingly prevalent human condition in developed societies. Despite major progress in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to obesity, no safe and effective treatment has yet been found. Here, we report an antiobesity therapy based on targeted induction of apoptosis in the vasculature of adipose tissue. We used in vivo phage display to isolate a peptide motif (sequence CKGGRAKDC) that homes to white fat vasculature. We show that the CKGGRAKDC peptide associates with prohibitin, a multifunctional membrane protein, and establish prohibitin as a vascular marker of adipose tissue. Targeting a proapoptotic peptide to prohibitin in the adipose vasculature caused ablation of white fat. Resorption of established white adipose tissue and normalization of metabolism resulted in rapid obesity reversal without detectable adverse effects. Because prohibitin is also expressed in blood vessels of human white fat, this work may lead to the development of targeted drugs for treatment of obese patients.

Always have greens available saute a enormous bag of frozen blended greens in olive oil and garlic add some crimson pepper or turmeric for additional taste and separate into portion sized containers for the fridge
