A member asked:
Which fat burners are effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The hype : Unfortunately as a doctor I am not aware of any "legitimate" or "fda approved" fat burners. Some of these are essentially medications that increase a persons' metabolic rate but at the price of being addictive and require a doctors prescription (such as amphetamines). The safer option is work with a bariatrician (medical weight loss specialist), join a gym and go slow.
