Everyone wants to take fat burners and muscle builders, but no one wants brain-boosting supplements. People understand a fat burner (FB) as a substance that, when ingested, is supposed to selectively target fat deposits, dissolving them. Unfortunately, even if such products exist, a) you won't find them "overtly" available; b) there will be many questions about the safety of this "banned" substance.
Modern marketing often confuses concepts. Fat burners would be more accurately called "thermogenics." Because there is nothing "approved" that burns fat in the sense that naive dietary supplement buyers imagine.
It's generally accepted that thermogenics stimulate the central nervous system, increase body temperature, which boosts metabolism, and so on. Now imagine what would happen to a man if he was aroused, his body temperature elevated, and then not given any sex? Nothing, he'd run around with swollen balls and that's it.
Alcohol increases heart rate, a sauna increases body temperature, so does that mean going to the sauna with a beer will burn all your fat?
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 studies aimed to compare the effectiveness of fat burners and thermogenics with diet and exercise for weight loss (PMID: 33427571). Several supplements containing ephedra, caffeine, L-carnitine, guarana, and the like were examined.
As a result, all these supplements were found to be ineffective, compared to regular diet and physical activity. Moreover, even combining supplements with diet and physical activity provided no additional benefits.
Conclusions:
We need to discuss what makes sense, not theories about how a "thermogenic" product raises body temperature, which will make your body burn 0.0003 kcal/hour more;
Modern fat burners are a misrepresentation and a game played on your naivety by the manufacturers of "magic pills";
A calorie deficit is the best fat burner!
Weight loss to all!
