Fat Burner Myths

A surprisingly high number of books by physicians and nutritional consultants teach that foods in combinations, or special supplements, can "turn up your fat burners". Publications by the Mayo Clinic, US Government, and other reliable sources all say this is TOTAL NONSENSE.

If one could ignore calories and eat "fat burner" foods to lose weight, the combinations would have to work the same as weight loss drugs, which pose significant health risks.

Here are real ways to "cheat" on weight loss, with drugs / herbs, surgery.

a) Ingest fewer calories

b) Burn more calories (exercise is safest way)

c) discard body mass by artificial means

All of these cheats are risky, most are temporary, most can cause damage to the body even up to death. Dehydration can kill quickly.

A safer way is to stuff the stomach with low calorie vegetables, plus a few almonds, which will satisfy hunger and leave no room for steak or pie.

"Reality is
not what you think it is
nor what you want it to be
Reality IS"
