New Fat Burning Stack plus New HIT Training for Both Cardio & Weights
GREEN TEA EXTRACT
Widely used in the fitness community for increase in metabolism, the active ingredient EGCG is a naturally occurring antioxidant as well. This author has personally lost over 10 pounds by taking 2 grams of green tea extract twice daily. Additionally, I have used green tea extract as an anti-inflammatory agent.
In a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine.
Take 2 grams of green tea extract twice daily.
7-KETO
This compound is a metabolite of DHEA, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in both men and women. As we age, our levels of DHEA decline significantly, causing a reduction in metabolism. 7-Keto is not a steroid and cannot be converted to testosterone or estrogen. In recent studies, subjects who received 200 mg a day of 7-Keto saw a significant weight loss versus the placebo group over an eight-week period. This author has seen a significant rise in the use of 7-Keto among bodybuilders in the Southern California area.
Take 100 mg of 7-Keto twice daily.
CLA
Conjugated Linoleic Acid has been heavily researched since the late 1980’s as an anti-tumor and antioxidant compound. CLA is actually a trans fat, but it is not deemed harmful because of its molecular structure- a conjugated type. The highest concentrations of CLA are in meat and dairy products, which are usually eliminated when dieting down because of the excess fat content. While there should be more research of CLA done on humans, there is no denying that athletes and others looking to lose fat have benefited greatly from CLA supplementation. CLA is sold in many supplement stores as a fat loss agent, but the best deal is available by clicking on the link below. Take 2 grams of CLA twice a day and once before bedtime.
