It can certainly help.  Replacing some carbohydrates and fats with lean protein increases metabolic rates because the human body burns more calories breaking down protein than other types of food.  Most people consume 12 to 15 percent of their total energy intake from protein.  If protein calories are increased research has shown a metabolism boost.  When people eat more protein, they tend to back off from some very refined carbohydrates. 

Include protein for Breakfast for more Energy

If you breakfast consists of yogurt, cereal, or simply coffee, you may need a protein boost to avoid energy slumps, cravings, and overeating later in the day.

Intek’s Thermogenic Evolution??  More like Intek’s Where the F#*% Did the Fat Go!!!  I’ve used alot of fat burners in my time and this one ranks with the elite.  Having gained a solid 15lbs for my strongman competition I figured it was time to get back down to a leaner, healthier bodyweight of 220lbs. I’m sure you can do the math.  Gaining 15lbs was fun and quite easy; I just ate more.  Dropping 15lbs is another story.  Cardio sucks but its a necessary evil and being hungry all the time gets annoying.  Intek’s Thermogenic Evolution is the answer to your dieting woes.

I was sent a bottle to try and with like most supplements I was skeptical, until I took my first dose.  Holy gratuitous amounts of energy, Batman!! The compound blend Intek uses is specifically formulated to boost energy levels, kill appetite, and even enhance mood. I was zipping through my day and when it was time for my work out I conquered that gym like Conan the Conquerer.  And talk about appetite suppression!  At 235lbs I am hungry all the time.  It takes alot of food for me to maintain that bodyweight.  When I’m on Thermogenic Revolution the hunger is crushed.  It’s almost like I have to remind myself to eat.  It literally took me three weeks to drop that 15lbs.  No joke.  This is not a fat burner for the faint of heart.  This is, however, a fat burner for anyone that wants to drop bodyfat fast.

Test Revolution is another formula loaded with science based ingredients from MSI.  Check out the list of active ingredients below. 

Divanil is an extract from Urtica dioica (Stinging Nettle) that’s standardized to 95% 3,4-Divanillyltetrahydrofuran. Research has shown it can bind tightly to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), giving it the potential to increase bioavailable (free) testosterone.

Icariin is a “testosterone mimetic”.  Research on Icariin has shown it to support circulating testosterone.  Several animal-based studies have found icariin is a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, similar in function to Viagra.

FenoTest also has Testosterone-like properties on its own. By binding to the Testosterone receptor sites in the body it stimulates anabolic and androgenic activity. This has been verified by studies where FenoTest has led to anabolic and androgenic activity similar to Testosterone.

6-alpha-Bromodione is a fast acting competitive inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme. It works by binding to the aromatase enzyme to prevent it from aromatizing androgens. This is not a permanent binding and later acts to normalize aromatase (and thus estrogen levels) as hormone production returns to normal. It specifically targets aromatase and does not act as a central anti-androgen like some other post cycle products can. This means that your libido and mood will not be negatively affected.

White button mushrooms suppress aromatase activity and estrogen biosynthesis.  White button mushroom helps keep your testosterone from being converted to estrogen via aromatase enzymes.

Fadogia Agrestis won’t provide an unnatural boost in testosterone levels that competes with your own testosterone production, instead, it actually elevates your testosterone level naturally by first elevating your Luteinizing Hormone (LH).  LH in the male body, is the hormone which signals the release of Testosterone and once LH levels are elevated, Testosterone levels soon increase as well.

This formula is a truly science based blend of ingredients shown to increase testosterone naturally translating into improved athletic performance and improved body composition.  What makes this formula unique is the multi pathway approach that this product uses.  This product is appropriate for muscle building and fat loss as well as post cycle recovery.

Working out and dieting can help create a calorie deficit (taking in fewer calories than burned) which is necessary for weight loss.  The ideal situation is one in which you lose body fat and maintain muscle tone.  The trick is to get your body to use fat as a fuel source.  This is where CLA and L-Carnitine can help.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA has been shown to inhibit the activity of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme involved in the uptake of fat into fat cells.  This can reduce fat uptake into cells preventing accumulation of body fat.  CLA also promotes the body’s use of fat as fuel, helping to breakdown fatty acids allowing them to get into the blood stream to be used as fuel.   Several studies have shown that CLA can positively affect body composition and has a beneficial effect on lean muscle mass. 

Carnitine is a nutrient responsible for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the energy-producing centers of the cells (known as the mitochondria). In other words, carnitine helps the body convert fatty acids into energy, which is used primarily for muscular activities throughout the body. 

Intek CLA Evolution combines both of these ingredients in the doses researched to provide results.  Try Intek CLA Evolution for a non stimulant product to help your body burn more fat. 

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are considered “good” fats.  Your body cannot make Essential Fatty Acids, and therefore they need to come from your diet or from a supplement.  Since most of us do not consume a diet high in these fats it may become necessary to take a dietary supplement.  EFAs contribute to your health in too many ways to list here.  Research with EFAs as supplements has been performed in relation to their potential benefits to your heart, skin, brain, eyes, joints and more.

The ideal intake ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids is between 1:1 and 4:1.  This means for every gram of Omega-6 you need up to one gram of Omega-3.  The typical American diet often leads to a ratio between 10:1 and 25:1, a proportion which may lead to health related issues.  Changing your diet to improve your ratio is an important factor in experiencing the full health benefits of EFAs – that’s why so many people take an Omega-3 supplement every day.  

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are scientific terms for two different classifications of EFAs. These names are derived from the chemical composition of the fatty acid molecules. Omega-3 fatty acids include ALA, EPA DHA.  Omega-6 fatty acids include GLA and LA.

The most popular dietary supplements for EFAs are Fish Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, and Borage Oil.

The reason fish oil is so popular as a supplement, is that not all of us convert ALA into EPA and DHA.  DHA is important for health and, even if the body converts the ALA to EPA, it still has to make DHA.  Since we are unaware of who is able to make the conversion, make sure to take fish oil to assure to assure you are getting adequate EPA and DHA.

Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) are responsible for many of the beneficial effects of fish oils.  Research has shown that fish oils containing EPA and DHA may have therapeutic benefits throughout your body, especially for the health of your heart, brain and joints.

Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) (An Omega-3 Fatty Acid) is found primarily in Flax seed oil. ALA helps support heart health, including healthy cholesterol already within the normal range, and may also provide immunity benefits.  In some of us, the body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) (An Omega-6 Fatty Acid) is found in borage, black currant and evening primrose oils.  GLA helps the body’s inflammation response and supports healthy circulation.  It supports mood in pre-menopausal women as well.

Linoleic Acid (LA) (An Omega-6 Fatty Acid) is found in processed foods, margarine, and vegetable oils.  LA helps improve skin conditions.  It may also be partially converted to GLA in the body.

Killer Bee’s is a fat burner that will remind users of some of the original products that contained ephedra.  The energy from this product is intense making it a great pre-workout addition.  It also provides a good thermogenic effect as well as solid appetite control.  If you haven’t used a fat burner before this is probably not the product to start with as this formula was really designed for people who have used this type of product before. 

Killer Bee’s combines powerful fat burners with nootropics which improve mood, mental clarity and reduce appetite.  The idea is that the better you feel the easier it will be to stick to your diet and workout regimen.

Killer Bee’s blend of ingredients promotes lipid mobilization.  On the fat cell’s surface are receptors that signal the cell to hold stored fat, the natural alpha-2 antagonists in Killer Bee’s can switch off these receptors.  This frees fatty acids so they can then move out of the cells and into the bloodstream.  The extent to which exercise or calorie reduction will burn fat is totally dependant upon the rate of lipolysis.  If you want to increase your rate of fat burning you need to increase the rate of lipolysis. 

User feedback has made Rocket Fuel the go to option for healthy weight loss.  Rocket Fuel is designed to attack weight through an increase in metabolism, reduced appetite and an increase in energy levels.  Rocket Fuel uses a liquid delivery system designed for pharmaceutical use.  Pharmaceutical grade ingredients and delivery system ensure greater potency and efficacy for this product.  This product is a potent energizer so dosing should start low and can be increased as tolerance is assessed.

Rocket Fuel uses a few unique ingredients which set it apart from some of the other products in the fat burning category.  A standardized extract of cayenne is used for its thermogenic properties.  As your body heats up you expend more calories.  A unique blend of green, black and white tea ads fuel to the fire by allowing the body to break down fatty acids more efficiently promoting fat as a fuel source.  The ingredient Phenyl ethylamine reduces appetite and elevates mood helping to avoid the ups and downs associated with calorie restriction.  L-dopa from the plant Mucuna Puriens increases the level of growth hormone that is produced which will have a positive impact on body composition.  Rocket Fuel also employs a new form of Tyrosine which will naturally increase the levels of the fat burning hormones T3 and T4.

The Science of AdrenaLean

AdrenaLean was originally designed as a soft-gel stimulant. However, after several sample runs, the census was good but only good like everyone else. So BioRhythm then turned toward the science behind the revolutionary Kre-Alkalyn.

AdrenaLean is the first and only pH correct stimulant fat burner. It is actually taken a step or two further with a sodium correct isotonic preparation. Isotonic is defined as:

“A solution that has the same salt concentration as the normal cells of the body and the blood. An isotonic beverage may be drunk to replace the fluid and minerals which the body uses during physical activity.”

Research from McGill University in Canada found that olive oil increased resting metabolic rate as well as the energy cost of digesting a meal and post meal energy consumption.  Long term consumption of olive oil may decrease blood vessel inflammation, promote blood vessel health, and prevent blood platelets from clumping together.  Olive oil can also lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

One of our favorite products is Olio which contains olive oil, fish oil, flax oil and CLA.  Olio is great for weight management as well as general health.

1,3-dimethylamylamine is a derivative of geranium oil which resembles the body’s own chemical messenger, epinephrine (adrenaline). Similar to adrenaline, 1,3-dimethylamylamine exhibits a powerful CNS stimulating ability, for increased energy, mental clarity, and physical performance.  This is especially valuable to athletes during calorie restriction or when a high level of focus is needed.  1,3-dimethylamylamine works through a similar pathway as ephedrine, causing an increase in cAMP (the chemical messenger that triggers fat release and provides potent appetite suppression and thermogenic action).
