Fat Loss The Easy Way...Or Not?
There is just no easy way to burn fat? Just like any endeavour you undertake, fat loss takes time...Lots of it! Only with some dedicated hard effort in the gym and good nutrition will you ultimately reach your goals. Sounds like some "guru" talk, doesn't it? To tell you the truth along with your dedication to fitness, there are some fantastic ways to burn fat...One costs a lot but is extremely effective, the other doesn't burn a hole in your pocket but again...Is extremely effective. Which way do you go? Well, let's look at both alternatives, you make your mind up...Or not.
HCA (Hyrdoxy Citric Acid), sounds like it will rip a hole in your guts but is found in products like MuscleTech Hydroxycut and has become one of the most popular fat burning products on the market. Earlier products had the combination of caffeine and ephedrine. When combined, these 3 supplements created a powerful fat burning concoction. With the notoriety of drugs like ephedra being banned in bodybuilding circles, products like MuscleTech Hydroxycut went down the au-natural path. How does HCA work? It blocks the activity of the enzyme "ATP citratelyase", this alters the body's fat and glucose metabolism in two ways:
- pathway for glycogen production becomes easier than continuing with glucose metabolism into fat
- With fat production slowed down, the body begins to store more fat as an energy source. (Source: Anabolic Primer, 1998).
Your other option are the following natural food sources that you can buy at your local supermarket:
- Ginger
- Onion
- chili
So we have the rich man's choice with MuscleTech Hydroxycut, and the "man with the hole in his pocket" choice of ginger, chili and onion. Both are fantastic options, depending on how much money you have to spend. In all instance the natural food choice along with a well balanced diet will help you stay lean and mean all year round and give you the fat burning power you need.
