    Default thermogenics, hydroxcut and the likes...

    Have any of you had any experience with any of the brand name weight loss products... hydroxycut, sans tight, T2 etc.
    There are advertisments galore in alot of fitness mags I have been picking up and was wondering if they are as effective as they are made out to be.
    Obviously you need to have a good diet/workout routine but I was just curious.

    I haven't taken any of those supplements in a while since most of them are now ephedra ( I think that's how you spell it?) free. Ripped Fuel extereme always worked wonders for me but since it's ephedra free its not the same. Now I just drink some yerba mate once in the morning and in the afternoon and it's pretty much the same affect as those supplements that have gurana or caffenine as a ingredient.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Hydrocut didn't do diddly for me. The others I've tried, ripped fuel included, made me feel sick, messed with my head, made my skin bad, and ended up just being a waste of money and added troubles. So, due to my past experiences, I stay way away from any sort of diet pill supplements. Somehow I've managed to train myself to eat well and excercize 3-4 times a week. Especially after being prone to eating disorders in the past, now I just leave my body alone and keep life simple on the food and excercize end. I do take a multi vitamin, but that's it.

    I agree,Ripped Fuel worked a lot better when it did have ephedra.It sucks that they banned it just because some people decided to abuse it.

    ya we had our ephedra cut from the shelves here too in Canada - but you can still buy ephedra just in a lower dosage - the previous was a 25mg pill now you can only get 8 mg pills - which actually I find BETTER than the 25 as you can space them out throughout your day without the aggravating side effects of shaking and edginess that came with such a dose.

    Before a work out - make your own version of these high priced manufactured diet or energy pills by making your own "stack"

    One cup of coffee, 2 aspirin (not tylenol but aspirin) and an ephedra.

    These are the main components (other than all the other gear threy throw into these mixed collages- ie green tea yada yada) that are going to give you the boost the drive and the oomph to have a harder workout and create thermogenesis which burns fat.

    I didnt like the ripped fuel and its huge whack of caffeine - just too much man too much.

    But they do reccoment 2 days on 1 day off when using the aforementioned 'stack'. Then on that one day off we would use the ripped fuel - I just choose not to on that day off and try to go on my own steam.

    Taking this stack and not 'working out' is useless, the whole point is to couple it WITH a workout regime for optimum results - so many people just pop the pills and think magic is going to happen. Its not. But you CAN help out your program - if you are so inclined.

    Just like the misconception about steroids - people think you take them and poof you get muscles - that couldnt be further from the truth - you STILL have to work out - you just get increased results -

    Point is you still need to work out. Period.

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.
