Best Fat Burners for Women

[LPBahamas]

There are so many on the market.... which ones are the best? Mitotropin and Cytolean.. has any body used these and how do you rate them?

I am at 16.7% body fat, 128 pounds, 5'5.... aiming for 8 to 9% body fat. Increased cardio and changed program a bit to get body to react better... but if there are any supplements that there that are recommended I would greatly appreciate the feedback!

Why would you want to be 8-9% BF?? That is really unhealthy/unsafe. 10-12% is the "essential fat" range for women (the lowest you should go). And really unless you are training for a competition, I wouldn't go that low. Most women ideally want to stay in the 14-20% zone for the "athlete" range.

I am competing in June... trainers have reccomended fat burners....

[imperfectly_lou]

The majority of fat burners are pretty rubbish. Ingredients well proven to assist in fat loss as yohimbine and ephedrine so i wouldn't waste my time with anything that doesn't contain at least one of those ingredients.

If truly want something that burns fat an ECA stack is your best option. However fat burners while I do not believe actually burn fat themselves can still help you lose weight. They help with controlling appetite, they will help keep your energy levels up while dieting down and that extra energy can help during workouts. Also they help shed some water weight. The will boost your metabolism slightly but I think there true benefits are in the other things I mentioned.

I've had the best results with Lipo 6. The original formula not the her's version.

Thanks ... Lipo 6 is actually what my trainers reccomended... more for the energy as my dieting gets more strict... Thanks for the feedback... I will definately stock up when I am in the states next week.

Hot Rox Extreme is a VERY powerful fat burner...it will ramp up your metabolism. Do not overdose on this one, as it kept me awake for a full night when taken around 7pm.

Creadyl stacked with NO Beta is another great energy-enhancement supplement. When taking this supplement, I don't need another fat burner for my contest prep.

I personally prefer the E/C stack. Don't you think it's a bit early though if you aren't competing until June?

First competition .... will be dieting 12-weeks out... but I live in the Bahamas so while I am in the states this week need to buy what I need. Thanks for the recommendations.

Can I come visit you in the Bahamas? It's been snowing here since Sept. Love the snow, but wouldn't turn down a week a warm weather either...lol!
GL on your competition in June!

Been there once... and I lived in Colorado for a few years... left the Bahamas to go to school there when I was 10.... so know all about that cold!

What I'm using to lean down for the 2010 USA's is Cellucor's T7 and D4 Thermalshock it's heavy on the stims but it's working great for me. This week I lost 3 pounds... it's been steady like that for a while. I take these for a month then switch out to a non stimulant fat burner for a week before repeating it.

Hey ladies! I'm new around here and new to supplements. I'm looking for a body fat burner as well, but am also wondering about other supplements. As a beginner, what should I start with? I have protein powder and will start taking CLA, fish oil and a fat burner (probably Lipo 6) but am I missing anything else? I'm not looking to get to competition level, but definitely want to be nice and lean with muscle definition.

Right now I'm 5'11, 210lbs, and soft.

Also, how do I start a new thread so I'm not piggy-backing on someone else's?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Can't really give you recs on fat burners or supplements BUT... to start a new thread... on the main forum area there's a big blue button that says "New Thread" click on that and scroll down a bit... there'll be a blank box for you to post your questions, etc. :-)

Good luck from a fellow NOOB

When dieting down I do 4 weeks on Oxyelite, than 4 weeks on Phenyl Core. It seems to really work great for me and I get down to 6% when I compete.

[MissKris24]

I just started using Oxyelite Pro and I love it. Been taking it for about 10 days and so far I do just fine with only one in the morning before breakfast. I'm really stoked on my progress in the last two weeks, and although I'd definitely chalk it up more the hard work and a calorie deficit I'd have to say I think its worth the buy (especially since the cost per serving is low), placebo effect or not.

[ErinB1218]

OxyElite Pro. Miracle in a bottle. I dig the stuff because it helps to kill my appetite.

[bhellsbell]

Oxyelite for sure, it's one of my favorites. Helped me jumpstart my original weight loss, I use it when I get down to the last bit of bf I want to lose; really helps with energy and appetite, but a good diet is going to do much more than just a fatburner alone will

Oh, you do not. You mean to tell us you're leaner than this on stage?

[Pinkmuffins]

Is a fat burner something you can take long term or is it just a temporary supplement for additional fat loss in regards to contest prep? I was taking thermal shock and then stopped simply because I felt that since I wasn't prepping for a contest, just trying to be as lean as possible, that it wasn't necceasary in my supplementation.. Thoughts?

[rmcribeth04]

Same here, I have like using Lipo 6.

[clorourke]

Hey y'all-

Ive tried
Hydroxycut HC
Lipo 6x
Lipo 6 black
SAN Tight Xtreme

I'd have to say that ironically lipo 6 black did nothing for me. Hydroxycut results were minimal, but had headaches! SAN was probably the best so far, but keep in mind that you can really feel the thermogenic effects from the moment you swallow the pill haha.

I lost a good amount of weight fast, and now I have some extra skin. Also I'm not getting the butt muscle mass that I'd hope for yet. I'm working out a lot, but do any of you have suggestions??

Hope my supp advice helped
Xx

[clorourke]

Does it work? Haven't ever considered it

[danibug23]

i have been taking oxyelite and i love it. gives me energy i need and def helps the hunger through out the day i would recommend it so far i lost 8 pounds

[ozziefitchick]

for the people that have used OEP that took one in the morning, did you then take a preworkout supp in the arvo? or just more OEP or neither.

edit: need to mention I workout after work so thats really the only reason Id want to take it again in the arvo's. I dont workout in the mornings.

I've been doing weight training for over 3 months now- before I was working out at home-Insanity, p90x and more. My body fat isn't going down no matter what I do, I'm at a stage where my body is just not changing. I workout 2 hrs at day 5-6 days at week, I don't eat out or junk food, i take CLA for FB and nothing. I do have a few glasses if wine every now and then.
Any recommendations? I've tried some FB before but they make my hair fall out.
Help please

You don't say anything about your calories. Eating below maintenance is what leads to fat loss. What is your maintenance calorie level, how many cals have you been eating and are you weighing, measuring and tracking what you're eating?

[jeannemadrigal2]

Really nice thread ...! i really like it and also got useful info thanks .

[Gabriela09]

Hii,

I know this is not part of the topic but does anyone know if bcaa is essential and does it actually work?
