possibly a reaction to GABA, pre dinner is a good time as well

I'm using ripped fuel 5x. it doesn't upset my stomach, or make me jittery, but I get a6-8 hour energy boost from it still. 1 or 2 tabs a day and I'm fine all day, work outs are more focused as well.

I have pretty aggressive gastrointestinel issues that I have to be cognizant of regarding taking new supps. And in addition to losing weight, I'd really like to take a fat burner to boost my energy level during my workouts. Since I've been eating more clean, my energy level has been dragginh and its impacting my workouts. But my concern with a FB is taking something that will cause, well...diarrhea.

Is there a fat burner anyone's taken that they feel avoided that issue for them? Or on the flip side, is there a supp anyone took that made them do just that?

Sorry for the grossness of the question - but I don't want to end up taking something that will cause me to be locked in the BR.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hey guys,

I'm new here but I felt like I should join the community sooner or later!

I'm in need of some adivce.

I'm currently on the GBC workout program. Supplements I'm taking are:

Swanson Vitamins HCL
Swanson Vitamins Malic Acid
Swanson Vitamins Multi Vitamins
Swanson Vitamins Alpha Liopic Acid
All the Whey WPI

I'm indecisive between SlimXtreme and Animal Cuts for assisting with some stubborn fat loss and expose the lean muscle I've been killing myself for for the past two months.

I plan on stacking that with the above items as well as CL White Flood and REDuction PM.

Could you guys help me decide between SlimX or AC. Also if it's not much of a hassle, when and how much I should take of either, White Flood, and RED PM.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Needs some help finding a fat burner that will fit my needs.

This is what i have tried
Slim Xtreme: A little too extreme for me, had hard time breathing.

Lipo6: Works only for 1 week then my body adjusts to it and have to take too much of it to feel anything.

Im looking for something that will not affect my sleep too much, most importantly my mind and my breathing. Looking for something that will give me energy aswell.

While taking a break from fat burners all i consume is caffiene pills which gives me no energy since my body probably has adapted to it.

Anything else left?

I trust your advice, but don't know if I want to take it again. I'm currently stacking White Flood, Green Mag, and Purple Wrath and thought it would be good to add in REDuction. It DOES work for shedding off some unwanted fat, but the headache I got for not getting enough sleep from the REDuction wasn't doing it for me.

I might give it another go next spring when I want to lean up a bit for summer. In other news, I'm loving the other CL products especially the Green Mag.

good stack, but if you are taking white flood go for a product like REDuction A/PM since there is only 1 dose of stims in it as opposed to other fat burners which are typically 2-3

I have taken BSN Atrophex but didn't really notice anything. I've been seeing a lot of ads for Lipo 6x. Can anyone give me any advice on whether Lipo 6x is a good one to get on? Any advice on which would be a good one to get on?

Get Hyperdrive 3.0 (formerly called Venom) from ALRI!

Best one out there....most of these yahoo's on here are product reps. Arthur (owner of ALRI) is a stand up guy and takes his own advice. Do some research on the company and you'll see what I'm talking about!

Here is my experience with Lipo 6X Black (I'm a sucker for new products):

Appetite suppression-10+ (off the charts!):
Only for the first week, however. This one is a bit bizarre. I still felt hungry, but was satisfied with less food. As soon as I started eating, I instantly felt full. Consequently, I ate much less food. This effect, however, wore off after the first week.

Energy- 8.5:
Again, only for the first week. About 20 minutes after a dose, I began to feel a bit jittery. It was very subtle, just enough to know that the supplement was eliciting a physiologic response, and not at all distracting. My resting HR never increased (a solid 72), so I was pleased that this supplement did not cause my heart to race (like Hydroxycut). However, when taken before a workout, the energy was crazy. During a cardio session, my HR was 145, and I was just barely noticeably winded. Lipo 6X Black is actually the best pre-workout supplement I've ever taken (excluding White Flood, of course) Sadly, this effect also ended after 1 week.

Fat Burning-2:
I noticed no thermogenic response, and I'm convinced that this supplement is totally ineffective at burning fat.

Overall Impressions:
I took Lipo 6X Black as instructed, the full 6 pills per day dose from the very beginning. My workout is solid, and my diet is decent. I lost 3.5 pounds the first week, then not a single pound in the subsequent 3 weeks. The first week fat loss was principally due to my lack of hunger. My recommendation: save your money.

I tried Dialene 4x and had good results. I had to stop because I got headaches. Could be my fault since I didn't really take any time off between switching to different fat burners. It really did the trick for me and I lost about 8 pounds on it for taking almost 3/4 of the pills. I really liked it effects but am not sure if it caused my headaches in the gym or if it was me. I will hit the gym again soon and I will no soon enough.

Meta Slim

It's not a very advertised product and it's rather cheap - It does the job, does not keep me up.. strong on the stomach though especially in the morning!

As for an energy boost.. um, I haven't noticed much of an energy boost.. but then again I'm a guy who is used to drinking almost 10 cups of coffee per day.. my nerves laugh at stimulants.

[adreeves07]

Just started taking REDuction AM/PM...Man, I sleep better, have more energy throughout the day and my weight lost just took off. I started taking it 2 weeks ago, I added a mile jog plus the supps, I've lost 8 pounds in two weeks.

Fireball liqui-fusion is a real booster! I just started taking it 2 days ago and man does it wake you up to say the least!! I take 3 pills in the morning like suggested and that seems to be too much! YOU HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING WHEN TAKING THIS OR YOUR GONNA BE SICK! Good stuff but follow the directions for sure!!!
If your starting this product, My personal suggestion is NOT to take 3 pills the first time out, reason being that "with food. Big Breakfast" it kicks in quick, it made me feel very uneasy for the first 2 hrs. then it died down. died down meaning I still felt alert but not jumpy alert. I would suggest that you start of with 1 pill twice a day and see how your PERSONAL BODY REACTION IS AND JUDGE FROM THERE! as for me. 2 pills a day 4 to 6 hrs. apart works good. Also remember to DRINK LOTS OF WATER and EAT QUALITY FOODS!! nothing with caffine or any other boosters.

Tomorrow I'm going to monitor my HR and see how much of a jump I have after taking 1 pill like I suggested.

[MariaCL]

which would you suggest to be the strongest fat burner, mitotropin, slim xtreme, or Reduction? i seem to have a high tolerance to stims (even when i cycle off of them). thanks!

Haven't used Reduction, but I do have experience with the other two. SX and mito are very different, with mito being more of a pure fat burner and SX a pure stimulant. I desensitized to SX fairly quickly so Mito would be my recommendation.

The first few times i used it i got a headache as well, but after the first few times i never got the headaches again... could have been completely unrelated is my only guess.

Been using it for 3 weeks now! great energy. slimming down.

I think you will enjoy REDuction, its not solely a stim product and the PM doesnt even have stims in it, so you will notice some good results

[maris09]

8 days into Mitotropin...not feeling much of anything except increased sweating during workouts. My stomach has also been pretty upset while on it (with a clean diet) so I may be stopping it soon even though I've dropped a few lbs.

Compared with Reduction and Mitotropin, Cuts seems to be the only stim to make me "feel" anything although I dropped weight with them all.

Please pick product and include the brand. Give your reasons. The best answers will be displayed on the main Bodybuilding.com site for millions of people to see!

(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take fat burners, if you should take fat burners, or why some fat burners are NOT good. Just list your absolute favorite fat burning product and give your detailed reason.)

With out a doubt the best on the market is Nutrex Lipo 6x! You can not dispute the results from the masses. I have tried almost every thermogenic fat burner out there. All fail in comparison to Nutrex Lipo 6x. The best advantages to me is there is not extreme highs and lows. You never get too amped, it is just a smooth burn all day long. I recommend this product to everyone that asks!!

Muscle & fitness magazine had column about creatine and they say that clincal studies shows that creatine made metabolism faster and it helped with losing fat.

REDuction is pretty low on the stim side, but accomplishes the goal without making you feel like your high

Has anyone tried GAT's jetFUEL? I'm getting desperate to lose these last 15 pounds. I've tried:

Lipo 6 (4/10)
Lipo 6X (2/10)
Lipo 6 Black (3/10)
Hydroxycut (3/10)
REDuction (7/10)
Ripped Fuel (1/10)
Ripped Fuel with ephedra (7/10)

I have not tried that. However, I have tried Dialene 4x (got headaches, may or not be related to Dialene) and I also tried Animal Cuts. Both worked well!! I would recommend both of those. Cuts is nice because you can remove the stims if you don't want to take them (I believe the red pill). Just my two cents.

glad you liked REDuction the best and that it compares to a product with ephedra in it is amazing

Gotta love the product rep answers to everything "buy my product it really works!"

not sure if you are talking to me (but since my post is above yours, I will assume so), but I never once said that at all.

I agree, I have had it with these reps from companies with endless plugs in every other posts. I have used controlled labs in the past but I think I am going to ban from using their stuff if this keeps up.

[95zj]

I'm planning on stacking REDuction AM/PM with Species Nutrition Lipolyze. Anyone have any experience with the latter, or a similar stack?
