Good Fat Burner

Orlando_Virgin

On a big training hit at the minute, got all of my supplements bar a fat burner. My mate recommended Warrior Blaze Reborn, but everyone is out of stock, anyone have any recommendations?

They won't really make that much difference I speak from experience.

Save your money and do some powerlifting.

What are you training for and how are you training? Supplements are exactly as they say - they supplement your training effort. Anything else that puts on either bulk or 'burns fat' is probably not going to do you any good at all.

Find a good S & C coach and train smart.

I'm not training for anything inparticular. My diet is no carb at the moment, high in protein. 80% weights, 20% cardio, 2 muscle groups a day for 6 days, 1 days rest.

Eat a balanced diet containing ALL the nutrients your body needs for health, you won't be doing that on no carb. Carbs are your firelighters to your fat being the logs for a roaring fire, you can't light a huge log with firelighters or twigs. Carbs also help the body hold water, dehydrated people train lower: 1% drop in hydration is associated with a 5% drop in performance in the published literature.

Low sugar fruit and non starchy vegetables provide key antioxidants and other anti inflammatory phytonutrients which help the body recover. You should be sweating out minerals when training which needs to be replaced by beans, lentils, nuts, seeds or wholegrains - don't underestimate how much you need. Calcium is important for muscle contraction, magnesium for muscle relaxation and energy production and so on.

No scientific evidence most fat burners do anything, even the ones that do it's in the order of less than 100 calories per day. You will get far better results from high intensity interval training for cardio and high intensity strength training, both of which need some carbs. I've seen it with many clients, the body just works at a lower intensity, RPE is much higher on very low carb so you don't work to your abilities/ true fitness level.

Professional athletes don't do no carb for good reason, bodybuilders cutting for a show are the notable exception but they will all tell you they are never weaker and sicker than they are on stage.
