I have gained alot of weight around waist , what is a good pill to take to give me energy and help burn fat?

Answer 1

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.

The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you exercise them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.

If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

Hope this is helpful to someone.

Do NOT take a pill to quicly cut fat from your mid section. It took you a while to put it on, it will take you a while to pull it off - safely. You may not want to hear it but the best way to lose that belly fat is watching your diet and exercise exercise exercise. Go to a trainer if you can afford it, if not, run wind sprints for 30 minutes, 4 times a week ( jog at a normal pace and then punch it hard as you can for about 50 yards ). then do weight and resistance training at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. trust me, it will take a while but you will see results and you wont have to worry about the side effects of a pill that you shouldn't have taken n the first place - remember phen-phen?

Do not take pills. Herbal pills and products from health food stores are usually not federally regulated, they are considered supplements and have absolutely no regulations. There could be anything in those pills. Also the claims of weight loss have not been verified. DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMERCIALS. Anna Nicole is crazy.
What works for one person will not necessarily work for you.
Go to your doctor or nutritionist. They can help you diagnose why you gained weight (you may have a health issue you are unaware of) and help you lose it.

aIf you want energy and burn fat; don't look to a pill for your salvation; there's only one solution, watch what you eat, eat more healthy, eat less fat & sugar, aerobic exercise !!!! at least 30 minutes and lite weight lifting 3 times a week. If you have a sedentary lifestyle; turn off the TV, Computer and DVD players and find activities where your constantly moving.

Answer 5

You lose weight only when your input calories are less than calories burnt. 1. So eat food that is low in calories. 2. Make your life style more active. Do some exercises regularly. 3. Your metabolism is how you burn fat. 4. Substitute a portion of your daily diet with fruits and vegetables.

Answer 6

check out the current food pyramid instead.

it's got examples of a well balanced diet that will not only get rid of that rim around you but increase your energy you'll feel like a kid again.

just takes a bit of time.

get that exercise in too and drink that water/fluids.

cut down on perservatives, fast food, snacks loaded with chemicals.. this is why you feel like burnt paper.

get some living food into you.. fresh fruits, veggies.. soy milk (silk is a good tasting milk of soy) lessen that cholesterol (that makes you feel like you're carring 20 tons of weights around you and makes you feel stuffy, soffocated)

sweat!

that should help.. you should feel something in two weeks if you stick with this instead of pumping chemicals in order to remove what the chemicals did to you in the first place.

and you'll live longer and not damage your heart with questionable cheaters in pill form or fads that not only won't work well but make you double the poundage when you get tired of the gimmick and you're starving to death.

try that.. and you won't starve... after a brief moment of feeling empty.. you should get back up in gear again and feel like taking over the world.

if you do the well balanced diet idea that is very easily followed through the food pyramid example.

If your doctor did not give you the pill---NO!

Green tea extract...its is the main ingrediant for ALL diet pills, even the ones on commercials you've seen for slimquick, NV and others. Go to walmart in the vitamins aisle and look for mega T green tea extract. it really works, and if you want to speed it up take a flax oil supplement which can be found in walmart too :) and look into the glycemic index diet, theres a book called the GI diet by rick gallop, check it out and read it. It is a way of changing your eating habits so you don't even necissarily think of as a diet but as a healthier way of eating, such as wheat bread over white, brown rice (or basmati) over white, and canola or olive oil over vegitable oil or lard. and excersize, keeps you healthy and fit!

Answer 9

i don't of a pill but i do know that going to the gym works. taking pills aren't healthy for you anyhow, you will gain the weight back and you will gain about twice as much as you lost. just stay in the gym you will grow to love it...i know i did i got addicted lol

Answer 10

There are none. If diet pills worked, everyone would be skinny.
