Does Anyone Have Any Personal Experience Using A Fat Burner/lean Muscle Builder?
I have recently started the Atkins diet. It has worked wonders. I’m 5′ 10″ and my starting weight was 210. In the last month I have lost 20 lbs. I would like to lose 30-40 more. My concern is that I may be losing the weight a little fast and I’m worried about my skin sagging and not toning up. I go to the gym and focus mostly on cardio. I go 4-5 times a week for 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I try to do weight training exercises 2-3 times a week.
Most of my weight is in my tummy area and by the time I’m done losing most of my weight I don’t want any loose areas.
I’ve heard that whey protien works but am unsure about which product to use. I definitly don’t want to gain any of the weight back by taking a supplement.
Can anyone suggest a fat burner or a lean muscle builder supplement I can take along with my diet and exercise program to help eliminate “sagging” and help tone the right areas? especially my tummy…..
Is there anything specially made for women?
Whey protein shakes are great if you’re trying to drop body fat (remember bodyfat % is more important than pure weight alonge). The whey protein will help you keep/build the lean muscle and as long as you use whey protein (i.e. not ready-made shakes filled with sugar) then it’s a great addition to your ‘real’ food that you should be eating as well (i.e. chicken, fish, other lean proteins, nuts, etc.). You can use any high quality whey (Optimum Nutrition is a good kind to try – lots of flavors to choose from as well).
Try any thermogenic fat burner. These improve your energy and help your body metabolize (i.e. burn) fat when your body temperature rises. The ones I recommend trying are Hydroxycut Hardcore and Ripped Fuel. Take one dose prior to your workout as it will help provide you energy as you are eating lean as well. Read the instructions and don’t exceed the recommended dosage. (one note: i’ve found that with Ripped Fuel 5x i need to eat a little something (like piece of fruit) after taking it or my stomach feels a little weird).
