Fat is it friend or foe? Well if you ask most, including health care professionals, they’ll say foe. It’s time for people to wake up! The current ways of eating aren’t working. Just a few years ago, for the first time in history the top six books on the New York Times Best Seller list, were about the same subject: diets low in carbs, moderate to high protein, high in fibrous carbs (vegetable), and moderate fat. Why is this topic so popular? They work!

One of the biggest reasons protein diets work is the consumption of fat. That is, fat minus the abundance of carbs. Fat has many functions outside of being used as an energy source, and certain fatty acids are essential. Without eating them you’d literally get sick and die.

But how does fat help our diet? Well, fat satiates the appetite, and helps to stop the cravings for sugar. And probably most importantly, fat when combined with a low sugar intake actually aids in burning fat as fuel. That’s right, fat helps burn fat. When fat is restricted, our bodies have a defense mechanism built in through evolution for survival. Our bodies will actually stop using fat as fuel in an effort to preserve our stores for future use.

Bodybuilders have known this for years through trial and error, while dieting for shows, they would reach a certain body fat percentage and suddenly plateau for no apparent reason. We found that by adding fat to the diet like olive oil, or coconut oil, would jump-start the body to burn body fat. It’s not the amount of food you consume that is the problem. It’s the types of food you’re consuming.

Sounds bizarre doesn’t it.

In our never ending quest for a healthier, leaner, stronger body, taking supplements is a must.? While sifting through many supplement sites the other day I came across Vitacost.com.? They offer many different quality brands of supplements at great prices.? I made a purchase about 3 weeks ago and must say, I’m impressed.? I am definitely putting them on my list of favorite supplement sites.

A few years back when the FDA in all its ignorance banned ephedrine and all like products, many thousands of people including myself went into a state of depression.? The ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin stack was and still is by far the most effective fat burner ever.??

With ephedrine being pulled off the shelves manufacturers started puking product after product trying to claim their share of the fat burner market.? These products came with ads claiming all the benefits of ephedrine along with practically being able to cure cancer.? It was pretty disgusting actually.? And of course, literally all new fat burners fell on their face with only a few having a slight benefit.

Enter Hotrox Extreme.? This is the product I’ve been using for about 4 months and am very impressed.? If your looking for a fat burner that actually works?? And who’s not?? Extreme Hotrox is it.??
