FAT BURNERS!!!!!!

Now this has been a touchy subject with alot of people I know in the Health & Wellness field.
The usage of fat burners to help aide in the loss of body fat, I know alot of people who do use them which brands I'm not going to get into that, but their are a ton of people who swear by them as a needed and vital tool in dropping unwanted weight in conjunction with a healthy diet and training. Then we have the other side of the coin who say that the usage of fat burners is extremely dangerous and causes heart complications and a slew (yes I said slew! lol) of other neurological issues affecting brain function and possibly damaging normal thyroid production.

I would love to hear your opinions on this topic my bodyproud brothers and sisters, do you think fat burners are an unneeded tool and one can drop fat effectively without there use or are they a vital tool in dropping fat?

We all know as we age our metabolism slows down @ 3% per decade, which of course varies from individuals. If used safely with education and guidance if needed they can be a tool to assis a competitor in their goals. :-); ▶ Reply to This
