Written by | published on

There are two types of alleged fat burners: Type I are the stimulants with proven beneficial effects on you resting metabolic rate and beneficial "side effects" on energy levels and (reduced) appetite. Type II are non-stimulant "fat burners". Two of those have been tested in a recent study ... learn what the study says. Amanda J. Salacinski, Steven M. Howell, Danielle L. Hill, & Steven M. Mauk, researchers from the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education  at the Nothern Illinois University didn't miss that weight loss supplements are becoming increasingly popular - even in people with with chronic diseases (usually as a consequence of obesity). Even in healthy individuals, the list of side effects that have been reported for the various fat burners is long (Salacinski et al. highlight G.I. distress, and liver inflammation, which may accompany weight loss resulting from chronic supplementa-tion, in particular)... and while it is long, very lon...

Is it true that you can lose fat without dieting or additional exercise if you supplement with raspberry ketones? You will probably have read one or several abusive articles on "Dr. Oz' Wonder Supplement". Now, the results of a recent honor thesis the original claim that raspberry ketones provide a safe alternative to stimulant-based drugs and could have potential benefits in the treatment of obesity. The corresponding study involved 12 healthy athletic men aged 20 to 22 years old. Young men whose activity levels ranged from moderately active (participated in physical activity equivalent to walking 1.5 to 3 miles per day along with typical day-to-day physical activity) to vigorously active (participated in jogging, running, circuit training, competitive sports and heavy labor or housework).

No this is not Liza Oz after taking Mehmet's beloved RK supplements ;-) The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition is one of the few "major" scientific journals, where scientists can actually publish those studies, "healthy freaks" (no, not "health freaks", but people who are still healthy and thus freaks ;-) like us are interested in. Studies such as the one Hector L Lopez and his colleagues conducted; studies that investigate the effects and effectiveness of dietary supplements such as Prograde Metabolism (TM), a proprietary blend "fat burner" containing your usual blend of B-vitamins, chromium, caffeine, citrus aurantium, ginger, garlic, capsaicin, l-theanine and piper nigrum... ah, and of course as the #1 ingredient on the label Raspberry-K (TM). Too much blubber? "Grab the rasp and berry it off!" Ah, well... Hold on, another of those "proprietary blend studies"? Can we even trust the data...

Image 1: If I had the choice to have a tasty cup of coffee with the beautiful young lady or a couple of overpriced  raspberry ketone caps with Dr. Oz, I would not even need scientific studies to make my choice ;-) I am a huge fan of innovation, but when the name of the innovation begins with “raspberry” and ends on “ketones”, is pimped by TV doctors and sold on the 24h shopping channels, I can do well without it and better drink another cup of coffee and eat a couple of lycopene-laden tomatoes, whenever I feel the need to prevent hepatic steatosis on an obesogenic diet. I know this may not be as hip as investing 30-50 bucks in an underdosed “scientifically proven” (by exactly two dubious rodent trials, i.e. Miromoto. 2005, Wang. 2012) raspberry ketone supplement, but, on the other hand, it is also half as stupid and probably at least as efficient (Bahcecioglu. 2010; Vitaglione. 2010; Birerdinc. 2011; Molloy. 2011). And what's more, picking cafeine over raspberry ketones would...
