Tropical Weight Loss

Most fat burners have time released stimulants (to give you consistent energy in place of food)- this is great while you are taking them, you have more energy, don't need food to function and are more alert through the day.
In short, white rice appears to be neither detrimental nor favorable for weight loss. However, eating diets high in whole grains like brown rice...

I’ve saved hundreds and probably thousands at this stage by focusing on using the fundamental supplements that work and avoid the latest ‘fat burner ripped fuel sliced abs 6000’ or ‘muscular enhancer weight gainer 5million’. After talking with one of my girls in my online program yesterday, this has been burning on my mind for the last 24 hours.

I never questioned where the energy came from (I had trained nearly 7 hours the previous day on about 100kcals) but it gives you an idea of the strength of some of the over the counter fat burners (I bought them in a local health store when I was buying my porridge!). I spent the rest of the week like a zombie; Alas, Isaac Newton was right ‘what goes up, must come down’. Because fat burners send your body into a consistent state of ‘fight or flight’ – your entire recovery and hormonal system are jeopardised. If you have ever used a fat burner and got up to the go the toilet in the middle of the night only to be wide awake as soon as you climb back into your bed; its because your over active ‘fight or flight’ response. When you wake, your body spikes cortisol (which is actually the natural way to wake up) but with the presence of excess stimulants in your system and over workings of your adrenals; this process is massively heightened i.e. its 3am, you wake and your body thinks its ready to start the day. But what causes the rebound? There are two main reasons that generally cause the rebound: 1) ENERGY CRASH AND CRAP FOOD: When you stop taking your fat burner, you come out of a state of fight or flight (which was giving you consistent, albeit ‘fake’ energy) leaving you with an incredible drop or low. What do you tend to reach for when energy is at an all time low? You got it: food. And it’s normally not broccoli, porridge or chicken either; when that ultimate energy low hits us, its sugars, chocolate, biscuits, cakes or other stimulant drinks that we reach for. From a basic calories in, calories out (taking hormonal response out of it, as they have also been affected) leads to = rebound. 2) YOUR APPETITE COMES BACK HARD! Most fat burners (the good ones anyways) normally include a strong ‘appetite suppressant’ – and they do as the name suggest, they suppress your appetite. That’s fine while you are taking them, but think about what happens you come off them? Your appetite has been supressed for 6-8 weeks? I like to think of it like pulling back a rubber band, the harder and longer you pull it back (appetite suppressed), the further it rebounds back. 48 hours after the Atro Phex / 7 hours of training on only an apple situation that I mentioned above, I was utterly ravenous! I must have consumed 10,000 – 12,000 kcals two days later. It also doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that if I was trying to lose body fat, one day on 100 kcals and another on a 12,000 kcals probably isn’t going to support me all that much.
