We get asked about fat burners every day at the Springvale counter. Here are five things people believe, and what is closer to the truth.
Myth 1: a burner melts fat by itself
It does not. You lose fat by eating a little less than you use. A burner can help with energy and appetite while you do that.
Myth 2: more scoops, faster results
More scoops only means more caffeine. Food Standards Australia New Zealand has assessed up to 400 mg a day as the level not linked to adverse effects for healthy adults who are not pregnant. Stay inside the label.
Myth 3: protein is only for bulking
Protein is the most useful supplement on a cut. It helps you keep muscle and keeps you full. See lean protein and whey isolate.
Myth 4: stim free means it does nothing
Stim free products are simply caffeine free. They suit night training and people who are sensitive to caffeine. See OxyShred Non-Stim.
Myth 5: you need a different product every month
Consistency with food, steps and sleep beats product hopping.
Options to compare
Not for under 18s, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or take medication, check with your doctor first.
