Here are a few things to remember when taking fat burners (aka energy pills):
- Before starting to take any fat burners it is important to assess your individual tolerance by starting with a half of the suggested dose. This will allow you to learn how strong the product is and whether you have any immediate, adverse side effects (headaches, jitters, nausea, etc).
- Because fat burners greatly speed up your metabolism you have to ensure you drink a lot of water while taking them, otherwise you will most likely experience severe dehydration, and associated discomfort (headaches, jitters, nausea, etc)
- To slowly build up resistance (or get used to) to some possible side effects is it necessary to be consistent, take as directed and don't skip days, and doses
- Make sure you don't take too many doses in a too short of a time ... usually doses supposed to be 6 hours apart unless stated otherwise on product label
- Remember: fat burners are not some magic pills that will make you loose fat on their own. Eat a healthy diet and perform cardio every day for a minimum of 15-20 minutes to achieve results. The fat burning pills are mostly meant to give you that extra "pick-me-up" energy when you're feeling tired ("lazy"), the rest is up to you.
- To achieve good weight/fat loss results you have to know that the following items are the most important and mainly responsible for your success:
- 70% your diet - you are what you eat
- 20% you physical activity - the more you move the more you burn
- 10% motivation - this includes fat burners, coffee, and whatever else that gets your butt to the gym! :-)
