Thermo Fire Review

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Introduction

I did a sponsored log for Prolab Thermo Fire (Thanks to Vanessa/Dvsness). This is Prolab’s Fat Burner, which you can buy here.

My full log can be found here.

Impressions on Thermo Fire

Thermo fire is helping me lose weight beyond what I normally lose at the same activity level. This may be mostly due to the appetite suppression effect. It is a MILD appetite suppression - I don’t get ravenous, but I’m still hungry enough to want a moderate amount of food (hungry if under 1650 calories that day). Prior to this log, a similar deficit was making me quite ravenous by the cheat day (1 per week).

I lost 2 lbs in 5 weeks (with 5 days off due to illness), and my strength is not down, so it seems to be predominantly fat (biceps are measuring bigger too). This was diet + Thermo Fire, and pretty much no cardio (20 minutes total for the 5 weeks).

I was impressed 2 weeks in, and ordered another bottle. I hope to lose another 2 lbs in the next month.

As for sides, it seems to raise body temperature slightly. I did not feel any crash from it wearing off, and in fact I work out in the evening AFTER it has worn off.

I definitely recommend Thermo Fire to others. It offers a good boost to dieting, good appetite suppression, and (for myself) no negative sides.

Before/After Comparison
This log started December 20th. I did not take any pictures at the start of the log, as I had stayed the same as on November 20th. So, here is an abdominal comparison from November 20th to January 19th, with most of the change occurring since December 20th.

Prolab Thermo Fire

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I started testing Prolab Thermo Fire on December 20th. My log for it is here.

Minimum daily value:   1663 kcal
Maximum daily value: 1887 kcal
Average daily value: 1803 kcal
Average deficit ~ 300 calories per day.
Average Distribution: F:22% C:47% P:31%
Measurements Dec 29 (compared with Dec 21)

Height 5′4
Weight 128 lbs (same)

shoulders 37.38 (not retaken)
chest 32.75 (-0.25)
left bicep [relaxed] 10 5/8 (+5/16)
left bicep [flexed] 11 (same)
waist [on exhale] 27 3/8 (-1/8)
Abdomen [on exhale] 33 (- 0.25)
Abdomen [held in] 31 (-5/16)

These ARE really good changes for me. I ordered another bottle so this will be a 2 month log. Got sick around the first of the January, so I had to take several days off. Back on the Thermo Fire now. I am very optimistic about it after those measurements.
