fat burners

**LILJOE** · 09-04-2002, 06:19 AM

i took stacker 2 for a while but that made me really really dizzy and i had a loss of sleep.. i was wondering what other fat burners would be recommended

If you look at the thermogenic lables you'll find very little difference in ingredients. The primary ingredients in them all are ephedrine (herbal or ehedra), caffine (guarana, or other) and aspirin (usually willow bark). If you have problems, but want the benefits a thermogenic then:

a. find one that has a serving sixe of 4 caps, and take half dose.
b. never take it after 1:00 in the afternoon.

Then you have more control over how your body will react to the stack.

Read the other posts on thermogenics for other advice. There have been dozens of good posts and experiences

I have a friend who told me that she had gotten great results from using Stacker 2.

All of my brothers and sisters have told me that they got great results from Metabolift by Twinlab.

Basically, as Dumbells101 pointed out, pretty much all of the thermogenic supplements are the same and they are pretty good. I've gotten little or no results using either Metabolift or Hydroxycut (similiar product with similiar ingrediants by MuscleTech). But I got outstanding results from using the original ECA stack. However, that was before the FDA banned ephedrine from the market.

As for as your question is concerned, Stacker 2 may be a good product that will work good for you.

I personally like xenadrine and betalean HP, they both have worked really well for me. I have taken hydroxycut before in the past but didn't really like it...it didn't really like me either...

peace

It sounds like you need to do two things:

Reduce the dosage. I take as much as I can without feeling overly jittery. When I feel shaky or dizzy I take less next time and stick with that dosage.
Take it earlier in the day. Your first dose should be first thing in the morning and the second should be no later than 10 hours before you go to bed.

**LILJOE** · 09-10-2002, 02:13 PM

make sure your drinking your water while your taking any type of thermogenics...I can tell about 3 sets into any workout when I've used ECA before hand if I've had enough water that day or not, if I havent had enough water, I cramp up hardcore.

**EXCESS** · 09-10-2002, 08:38 PM

I used to cramp up during sets (lockjaw) when I was taking Xenadrine. At the advice of AR members I increased my potassium intake. I haven't cramped up since.

i have heard good things about clenbutrx but never tried it myself. my personal fav. is Charge! by Labrada Nutrition. Better than Xenadrine and Hydroxycut

**Buddha_Red** · 09-12-2002, 08:11 AM

my favorite of all time is Dymetadrine extreme by AST labs

ripped fuel
hydroxycut
xenidrine

ive used each of these and they are all great. Just seems like its just what the person likes, not much of a difference (except in price)

I am having good results with Zenotrope by ISS combined with Ultimate Burners by Ultimate Nutrition. Both are cheap but seem to work well in comb.

**overactive-girl** · 09-12-2002, 08:52 AM

My personal favorite is ThermiCore CRT made by Met-Rx (Anabolic Drive series). The CRT stands for "controlled Release Technology" and it is an 8 hour formula, so you never get jittery or crash from it. It's really smooth and the serving size is 3 caplets, so you can play with the dose a little bit.
I have 2 words for you: "Love It"
