Losing Fat:

There are several programs to lose fat. The most popular products currently are ECA stacks (Ephedra, Caffeine, Aspirin) which are controversial over reported side effects. While the data shows ECA stacks are safe, they do induce a stress response in the body (fight or flight syndrome) which long term may not be healthy. Also, Ephedra may soon be banned. Many companies are coming out with new, Ephedra-Free Formulas.

Besides the obvious, healthy diet and exercise, doing cardio first thing in the morning before eating is a great way to accelerate fat loss. Also, doing high intensity interval type training for your cardio workout will also enhance fat burning.

The cutting edge of safe, healthy fat burning products include:
1.) Acetyl-L-Carnitine: 2,000-5,000 mg per day (take on empty stomach).
2.) Alpha Lipoic Acid: 400mg-600mg per day with meals.
3.) EFA's: Flax Oil, and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) are fats that actually burn fat!
4.) Green Tea Extract: 500 mg- 2,500 mg per day ECGC

In addition, using extra protein such as Whey Protein to replace meals and carb/sugar calories, Stevia for sugar, Guggel (thyroid effect), and Chocamine(theobromine) will also augment the fat loss process.

Whey protein and stevia are also good to use in the fat burning ice cream recipe we have here at KiloHealth.
