Natural Fatburners

Protein Powder

• Soy Protein: Not usually known as a fat-burner, but does enhance fat loss in female athletes. Soy protein contains peptides that makes your brain keep you resting metabolism rate up. A higher RMR results in more calories burned at a resting rate. 20 g of soy protein is adequate enough to see the benefits in women. Mix half soy protein 10 - 20 g) and half whey (10 - 20 g) on workout days. 

Too much muscle gains that I broke the top on my tumbler!

• Whey Protein: It is noted as the best source of protein out of all other supplemental protein powders. Reduces inflammation (soreness or chronic) and lowers cholesterol levels (blood fats). Whey protein helps you burn fat by suppressing the appetite which leads to a reduction of your caloric intake. It also boots you metabolism and maintains muscle mass while loosing fat. 25 to 30 g is sufficient for women and 35 g to 50 g is sufficient dosage for men. However, this depends on weight and too much is useless. If you are lactose intolerant, then hydrolysate or isolate is a better choice for you. 

 CTD Sports Isolicious is one of my favorite protein powders!

• Casein Protein: Boosts metabolism, muscle growth and provides a high amount of leucine, which initiates muscle protein synthesis. This helps with fat loss because the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest. Because of it breaks down at a slow rate it prevents the body from feeding itself or being anti-catabolic. It contains all the amino acids the body needs and is known as a complete protein. 

Green Tea Extract

• Green tea contains EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) a compound that gives it's fat burning qualities. EGCG prevents the breakdown of noreepinephrine, a neurohormone that boosts metabolic rate and fat-butning. Taking green tea extract is more potent than taking it by drinking tea. Take 500 - 1,000 mg of green tea extract standardized for EGCG 3 times daily before meals.Take before workouts to give you energy and fat burning boost during your session.

Caffeine

• The main way it works is by binding on fat cells that blocks the storage of dietary fat in the cells and enhances its release into circulation. Take 100 - 300 mg of caffeine in capsule form, one in the morning and before workouts. This will encourage fat burn, give a boost of energy and intensify workouts.

CLA

• Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a fatty acid found naturally in beef and dairy Linoleic acid is the most common Omega-6 fatty acid, found in large amounts in corn, safflower and sunflower oil It can also be found in smaller amounts in various other foods. Benefits includes reducing food intake, increasing fat burning, enhancing the breakdown of fat and reducing the production of it. It has also been shown to improve body composition, with a reduction in body fat and sometimes increases in muscle mass. Healthy doses range from 3.2 to 6.4 grams per day.

Arginine

• Arginine is a nitric oxide (NO) booster that helps your training and recovery times. It is readily converted to NO in the body which may actually lead to fat loss. NO enhances lipolysis, the removal of fat from the fat cells. It also enhances growth hormone (GH) levels. GH is important for muscle growth and recovery, but also stimulates lipolysis. Take 3 - 5 g of arginine 30 - 60 min. preworkout and before bed for the best results

Capsaicin 

• It is the chemical in peppers that make them spicy and raises the levels of norepinephrine in which boost your metabolism and encourages fat loss. It also reduces hunger. Order spicy dishes or adding 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to your meals will boost your body's fat burning qualities. You can also buy capsaicin capsules of 40,000 - 80,000 Scovill thermal units per dose. Make sure to take before meals and not after. Otherwise, you might burp up heat.

Carnitine 

• L-carnitine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body and helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes. L-carnitine helps to transport fat, particularly long-chain fatty acids, into the mitochondria of cells. There is where the fat used as fuel to generate adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. L-carnitine does this cellular work both when you exercise and rest, but research confirms that it is most effective during intense exercise. Without this amino acid, most dietary fats can't get into the mitochondria and be burned for fuel. It is a serious medical condition for people with L-carnitine deficiency. It can lead to muscle weakness, stunted growth, an enlarged liver, and a number of other problems. L-carnitine is considered a "conditionally essential" nutrient which means that your body produces it. However, if it doesn't produce enough, it can serious impact on your health.

Raspberry ketones

• Found in red raspberries and has the similar effects like capsaicin without the spiciness. They boost metabolism in which enhances your body's fat burning qualities. Try out 100 - 200 mg 2 times day before meals.
