Do fat burning supplements work?

Like I mean the type of powder stuff which enhances and speeds up weight loss? I'm currently changing my diet for good and doing the insanity work out. Currently two weeks in and haven't really noticed any significant weight loss. Would buying some type of supplement to help with fat loss actually work? It's more so fat than weight btw.

    Fat burners are all scams. All. There's not one that burns fat.

    Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.

    Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.

    Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.

    An average person must walk about five miles every day of the week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking five miles a day or doing that amount of exercise is for you, focus your fat loss program on diet.

    Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness. And avoid dietary supplements without a physician's recommendation with the exception of a multivitamin/mineral pill.

    If there was product that burned fat or made fat burning easier, you wouldn't have to ask. You would know about it and so would everyone else in the modern world.

    Good luck and good health!!

    I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

    The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

    Typically the results will not be significant. While SOME of these supplements actually increase your metabolic rate the average increase is not enough to burn any appreciable levels of fat. You need long-duration cardio to stimulate maximum fat burning.
