Best Fat Burning Sports Supplements
Scientific algorithm for weight loss
The best method for weight loss is still following a proper diet and regular exercise. However, a number of nutritional approaches have now been developed that their authors claim can help with weight loss. Some of these approaches involve exercise in addition to diet, while others do without it.
The following is a brief overview of the main types of supplements designed to help you burn fat. This classification is published in the international peer-reviewed scientific journal of the Sport Nutrition Society. Note: Weight loss supplements have been added to the list.
Before engaging in radical weight loss, especially with the help of various drugs, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
The best drugs
Sibutramine (aka Reduxin, Goldline, Lindaxa and Meridia) is one of the most popular appetite suppressants, but cannot be purchased without a prescription. There are also a number of serious side effects.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) - An antidepressant, serotonin reuptake inhibitor, available at the pharmacy by prescription.
Metformin (Glucophage, Siofor) is a relatively safe drug with a complex mechanism of action. The effect has been confirmed by numerous studies.
Orlistat (Xenical, Xenalten, Orsotene, Listata) - reduces the absorption of fat, but in the absence of a diet causes digestive upset and is little effective.
Acarbose (Glycobase) - reduces absorption of carbohydrates. Can also cause digestive upset if diet is not followed.
Complex Fat Burners
Professional athletes most often resort to using anabolic agents, growth hormone, clenbuterol, ephedrine, and peptides.
