only 2 supplements have ever had real impact for me.
ephedra, and you have to be smart when using it. it's not a miracle drug but it helps.
creatine is the other.
"hurrrrr, creatine is for gaining size not losing fat!"
shut up, assface. creatine amplifies your natural gains in the gym. that's why i go to the gym, to see gains. if i see these gains, it keeps me motivated to keep going to the gym and working hard. so part of creatine's fat loss is psychological, it keeps me coming back and working out, which makes me lose weight. whatever helps, and some days, i really could use some extra motivation.
second, creatine helps build muscle size. pound for pound, muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue. so 2 people of the same height, each weighing 180 lbs, one at 10% body fat and one at 20%, will have completely different metabolisms and burn fat at different rates. guess which one burns fat faster?
so creatine CAN help lose fat (while building muscle), but you need to actually get your ass of the couch for it to work.
