Fat burners and their side effects

As the name suggests that fat burners mean burning of fat. These are nutritional supplements that can increase your metabolism, reduce fat absorption, and help your body burn more fat for fuel. There are varieties of fat burners available in the market. Some of them are very harsh for your health, but some are safe and effective, if used under proper guidance. We all want to lose weight in one day. Yes you heard it right in one day.

 

I am not saying wrong every day so many people contact me online, and they always want to transform their bodies in a very short period of time. They have gained their weight in 5 years constantly but they want to lose it in 5 days, and they are always asking for short cut supplements like fat burners. A good fat burner must include caffeine, green tea-extract, yohimbine, Chromium Picolinate, Garcinia Cambogia etc.

Types of Fat Burners:

1. Fat Blockers-

These kinds of Fat Burners Prevent the absorption and digestion of fats that we consume means these Fat blockers supplements can block saturated fats from being absorbed in the digestive system. But most of the time they can block important nutrients as well.

They work as enzymatic inhibition means as we know Enzymes are special proteins that help metabolize nutrients. Researchers have discovered they may help begin the weight loss process and work well for short-term periods.

Example-

There’s only one FDA approved fat blocker called “Orlistat” (Alli or Xenical). Alli (orlistat) belongs to a class of drugs called lipase inhibitors. It is Over-the-counter the medication. It blocks the intestines from absorbing about 25% of the fat that we eat.

Opinion the Truth-

Not so many people use these fat blockers. I strongly advise don’t use these kind supplements without consult with your physician & I have not seen many results of these fat blockers.

Side effects-

They can block important nutrients as well. The common side effects are increased bowel movements, gassiness, oily rectal leakage, abdominal pain, and headaches, etc.

2. Carbs Blockers-

Carbs blockers Supplements work in the same way as fat blockers. Carb blockers, also known as starch blockers, can help block the enzymes needed to digest certain carbs.

These supplements work by inhibiting the enzymes that normally digest carbohydrates. This allows the carbs to pass through your system without contributing to your total caloric intake.

Example-

Slim X Genie KETO, White Kidney Bean Extract, Salacia reticulate, White kidney beans Extract has been clinically proven to intercept starches and block carbs from being absorbed and turned into fat. Some starch blockers need a prescription.

They are called acarbose (Precose), and miglitol (Glyset). These are used as treatments for blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.

Opinion the Truth-

There is not much true data available about these carbs blockers’ supplements and their results. I never advise any of my clients to go for these carbs blockers. As when I set their diet & Workout Right and they follow it properly, they lose weight easily without harming themselves.

Side effects-

Always remember more effective carb blockers are, the more harsh side-effects they have. Remember these kind supplements can block the important nutrient as well.

White kidney bean extracts have been shown to be safe in short-term studies – the most common side effects being mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas and bloating, which tend to occur early on. Phase 2 is FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).

3. Stimulant Free Fat Burners-

There are so many of us go to the gym at night or evening or sensitive to caffeine in other words. So stimulant-free fat burner is a good choice for them as can sleep after evening workout when using these stimulant-free fat burners. Stimulant-free supplements do not affect your adrenaline.

Fucoxanthin is the main ingredient you can find in these stimulant fat burners. Studies suggest that the compound can be stored in fat cells and induce fat loss while inhibiting the differentiation and proliferation of fat cells, essentially allowing for reduced fat mass. It also may reduce triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

Example-

You can google Stimulant free fat burner then you can have so many choices available but L-carnitine, Green Tea extract, CLA – Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Forskolin, etc.

There is so many stimulant-free fat burners you can find singe ingredient or combine but TL Fat Burner Stimulant-Free Version & Hydroxycut LeanX could be your best choice if you want to try.

As a study shows there are not any data related side effects of these kind supplements unless you are allergic of one these ingredients. Still You must talk to your personal trainer before using any of these supplements.

4. Cortisol Blockers-

Cortisol is a naturally produced stress hormone. Cortisol inhibits insulin effectiveness which makes your blood sugar (glucose) levels rise. Cortisol blockers help decrease your cortisol level.

Cortisol helps our body to gain weight and also gain fat particularly around your midsection. So there is a variety of medicine and herbal supplements available in the market to help to reduce the cortisol level in the body.

Example-

Asian herb ashwagandha and fish oil, then combine them together, they really help to reduce the cortisol level. Medications to control excessive production of cortisol at the adrenal gland include ketoconazole, mitotane (Lysodren), and metyrapone (Metopirone). … Mifepristone does not decrease cortisol production, but it blocks the effect of cortisol on your tissues.

Opinion the Truth-

According my opinion they are good supplements and if you think stress is the main cause of your weight/fat gain, then you must try it. As I strongly advise you to get your omega 3 from your diet, never rely on supplements for long, and always use any herbal supplements with proper guidance. Must consult with your doctor before using any of the above medicine.

Summary Although ashwagandha is safe for most people, certain individuals shouldn’t use it unless authorized by their doctor. The standardized root extract is commonly taken in 450–500 mg capsules once or twice per day.

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3. Some time our thyroid is not working properly some people can get Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and Hypothyroidism.
