When it comes to shedding body fat, a clean diet and intense cardio are the main tools for the task. But to get the most from your efforts, the right supplements can go a long way to giving you an edge. Here, we present a group of fat-burningsupplements that will help you getthe fat loss you seek while feelingenergized without the unwanted, uncomfortable sensations—jitters, nausea, and hunger pangs—that often come as a result of hard dieting.
To get the most from your program, consider supplementing with the following:
GREEN COFFEE HELPS PREVENT FAT STORAGE The extract from green coffee (unroasted coffee beans) has exploded in the marketplace in recent years as one of the most effective fat burners. New research shows that greencoffee’s success may be due in part toits ability to blunt the impact of glucose,helping to keep blood sugar in check so you don’t store calories as fat before you can burn them off as energy. In addition, green coffee helps pull fat from storage so you can burn it as energy. A recent study showed that those who supplemented green coffee extract for 60 days lost more than double compared with those taking a placebo (10.95 versus 5.4 pounds) while following a low-calorie diet.
RASPBERRY KEYTONES BOOST METABOLIC RATE Cutting calories helps you burn body fat, but boosting the number of calories you burn also helps accomplish this goal. Raspberry ketones naturally boost your capacity to burn body fat by raising your metabolic rate. Raspberry ketones work in a way similar to synephrine. In addition, raspberry ketones reduce your appetite and encourage your body to release stored body fat to supply energy. This relatively new supplement has become quite popular, and research backs up its ability to aid fat loss.
MYRISTICA, ECKLONIA AND SALVIA COMBINE TO BURN FAT WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS These newer supplements might not be well-known at the moment, but that will change soon, as they can deliver serious results:
Myristica fragrans comes from a rare nutmeg seed that contributes to a feeling of clean energy and mental focus.
Ecklonia cava, a premium brown algae, contains potent polyphenols, chemicals that provide health benefits, assisting those following a restricted-calorie intake.
Salvia officinalis is particularly effective when paired with myristica and ecklonia, helping to further enhance focus and heighten senses.
CAFFEINE AND YOHIMBINE PULL FAT FROM STORAGE SO YOU CAN USE IT TO FUEL WORKOUTS Taking supplemental caffeine gives you an immediate surge of energy that makes you feel better while you cut calorie intake. It also encourages your body to move stored fat out of cells so you can use it to fuel activity. Caffeine improves your workouts, helping to make you stronger and blunt the inevitable soreness from intense training sessions. Yohimbine works similarly, causingyour body to release more stored fat into your bloodstream that will then be burned as energy. In addition, Yohimbine has been shown to have aphrodesiac properties.
