Fat burners are a joke

Like everybody else on this planer with a computer and Internet access, I receive a massive amount of email spam on a daily basis. Even the best spam filters often fail since spammers find ways to defeat them. At any rate, much of the email spam I receive is advertising some penis enlargement pills, longer sex pill, or weight loss miracle pills. This post is about the latter.

There are a million fat burners in the market today and many more will certainly be introduced in the years to come. Obesity is a serious problem for much of the Western world and it is not going away any time soon. In other words, there is a large market for these miracle, weight loss products that promise consumers to melt the fat away with no effort on their part.

I call bs on all those claims. The average consumer must be really stupid to think that by consuming a few fat burner pills which are essentially a high dose of caffeine will magically melt all the fat stored in his/her body while adding lean in its place. Seriously people, how naive are you to believe such claims.

And I would not have had a problem if there existed properly conducted clinical studies that proved these claims to be true. In all cases of fat burners that I have come across, only laboratory data exist as proof. By we all know that laboratory data can be easily faked especially when a private industry stands to make a lot of money from a product.

In conclusion, I will once more repeat myself even though I am starting to sound boring to my regular readers. If you want to lose weight and gain muscle, then stop eating fast food and start working out. It is really that simple.
