Planning Diets Natural Nutrition

Question: What are your thoughts on caffeine pills to assist in the extra boost during a workout? I usually will drink coffee during a workout, not sure if it actually helps or my brain thinks it is helping. Are they good or bad? And which one’s are the more preferred/natural/less harmful ones?

  

I used to use all the fat burning supplements and then just got fed up and went cold turkey. Guess what? I actually look better now! I got really tired of thinking that part of my success was because of a pill. The reason was because if part of my success was based on caffeine then I would need caffeine to be at my best. I didn’t like that idea, so I stopped everything.

  

The science does state that caffeine does help with performance, but I think we all know that. The problem is that just like any aid to performance, when you get used to it, you need more to do more better. Not perfect English but it makes the point.

  

Due to the nature of how these pills work, the more dangerous ones seem to actually be the more effective ones. This is because of the boost to the fight or flight system and the increased heart rate. This translates into more calories burned at the end of the day. It also turns you into a nut job stress case. In a strange twist of fate, the chemicals that cause you to burn these extra calories also cause you to release stress hormones. These stress hormones can also cause you to GAIN WEIGHT! Well doesn’t that just rock the boat a little!

  

I hate to say it but the natural and safe fat burners really don’t do much. They do something, just not much. Eat three smarties and what they do is gone. That’s about how little they help. I’m sure those out there that sell a lot of fat burners will have something to say about the issue, but since I don’t sell them to my clients, then this is my take on the situation.
