Has anyone here tried fat burners like Xenadrine, or Lipozene? Are they effective as advertised?
Firstly, let me state that I'm not looking for a "magic pill" that will make me lose weight. I know what it takes. I was at 257#, and after lots of hard work and eating discipline I'm now 195#, but I want to get down to around 155#, my height is 5'8" and I'm 47 yrs old.
This is what I do- Tue,Thur,Sat I do upper body weight resistance training and 30 min on exercise bike. Mon,Wed,Fri,Sat I do the exercise bike for an hour. Everyday I do "crunch twists" for my abs.
I consume around 1500 calories a day.
I went from a 42 waist, now I'm at 35.
But I can't seem to lose my gut and "spare tire", at least not as fast as I would like to! I don't think I'm burning off muscle mass because I take protein supplements.I also limit my carbs to less than 150.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm not looking to be freakishly musclebound, but wouldn't mind being a little "ripped".
