Do Fat-Burners Work?

Yes, they do…as long as you have reasonable expectations of what a fat burner "working" means.

Some people believe if they're using a fat burner, they should be able to melt huge amounts of fat off each week. Not gonna happen! But here are some ways you can help a fat burner do its work.

Set reasonable expectations: While your rate of fat loss can be enhanced with supplements, you won't be dropping 10 pounds in a week simply because you're using a thermogenic supplement. Sorry!

Remember this number: A safe rate of fat loss is 1-3 pounds per week, for average, healthy individuals. You can push this rate up to 4 pounds per week on rare occasions, but it's not sustainable. Eventually, your body will hit a plateau and fat loss will slow.

If you're dropping weight too quickly, on a fat burner or not, you could be losing lots of lean muscle mass. Unless you want to look like a shapeless coat hanger—and feel as healthy and athletic as one—you should rethink your fat-loss plan.
