I’ve done TSPA and JNR to say with full confidence that if you do it right and stick to the plan, you’ll defo see results. Therefore i don’t NEED fat burners.

but i’m really curious, and i don’t think it’s thaaaat far out to believe that there might be 1 or 2 out there that might actually promote fat-burning. it’s because of that curiosity that i picked up a bottle of alpha-t2.

honestly i don’t know if it’s working or not because i have always been relatively lean, but i DO know those pills haven’t caused me any unpleasant feelings. a friend who hasn’t seen me in months say i look much more ripped than before but then again
a) maybe it’s cos i’ve been on jnr for so long
b) i just had a good workout
c) human error on his part

but like i said, no NEED for fat burners, just curious.

@Larry. You were probably going too low in carbs. Also, you need to carb up for glycogen replenishment to continue getting stronger. You also need to measure you calories to make sure you are in a caloric deficit.

@PolitiJim. I never recommended 7-Keto. You must be thinking of someone else, bud.

@Hashbrowns. They are just caffeine basically. You’re better off buying caffeine pills. See the bottom of this post for the only fat-burner combo that works https://musclehack.com/the-best-bodybuilding-supplements-that-work-to-build-muscle-burn-fat/

Hi Mark. I have done low carb and no carb diets with no results. I work out4 to 5 days of the week. And 1 to 2 hours at a time. I cannot run due to hip injury. But I do modrate heavyweight with high rep to get heart rate up. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Mark,

At one time I recall you recommending 7 Keto but don’t see it in your latest supplement article. Do I recall that correctly or has your opinion changed on 7K?

Try to drink about 0.7 liters of hot water before breakfast in the morning. Preferably with some lemon drops, it kills bacteria in the stomach. And helps to burn fat around the waist. And have it a habit to drink lukewarm water daily. Certainly before the biggest main meals. Same with exercise, drink lukewarm water. Another tip is to take 50 to 100 situps and not eat 2 to 3 hours before bed time. By following these tips, there is no need even to think about counting calories.

Adrian, if you’re a lacto-ovo veg you should be fine. Like Mark says, watch your numbers to make sure you get enough protein. Just try not to be vegan–it’s extremely hard to get enough protein on plant foods alone. I was veg for 22 yrs and vegan for 8 (for various reasons), finally gave it up and feel SO much better and stronger the last 10 yrs it’s unbelievable. Will discuss if you like. Oh, and don’t know your reasons if you’re veg but not vegan, but do try NOT to think about dairy farming practices, egg farming, uses of rennet, gelatin, other animal products, etc., or it will do you in….that’s what happened to me and turned me vegan, causing my strength and overall health to decline and not thrive. Maybe the healthiest diet for each of us is genetically determined by our heredity regardless of all of our good intentions toward the environment, compassion for animals and other factors….I know I wasted a lot of years and while my conscious is clear, my health took a hit during my prime years. Well, no regrets. Cheers!

What’s your stance on most fat burners that are on the market today? Do they actually do any help if I incorporate them with the right fat burning diet and training?

@Mike. The metabolism raising is just the caffeine, though. A cup of coffee would actually work better.
And thanks bud – rock it all year round 🙂

In reply to Adrian. @Adrian. Certainly. Many vegetarians have succeeded with TSPA. So long as you can hit your daily target for protein, you'll succeed. You're probably already hitting this target anyway.

Looking at TSPA, is the diet plan suitable or adaptable for vegetarians ? I haven’t eaten meat for 30 years, and competed at international level in cycling, and am now lifting weights and doing martial arts. And meat will never be an option. Thanks.

Never bought anything from QVC lol but must admit I totally fell for the supplement thing until a year ago. I was taking green tea, acai berry in the hopes of burning belly fat. Not surprisingly, they didn’t work lol
