and the fat/out of shape people that rely on them to lose weight disgust me. People need to learn how to eat healthy and get off their butts and work out!

fat burners aren't really that effective unless you are eating right and exercising anyway. The boost they give to ur metabolism usually lies between MAYBE 5 and 15% (15% being the harder to get, illegal stuff)

They can be a good source of assistance to someone who is actually doing other things - cardio, eating correctly, healthy lifestyle. But simply taking them to lose fat and doing nothing else - Then I agree with you Chris

meself i'd say Swerve tha Fat burners right off !
a healthy balanced diet is needed for a start.
and you can use natural fat burners such as green tea and caffiene.
this can be an effective fat burner.

For sure, I was referring to the average person who thinks that the average fat burner is a magic pill. the new fda aproved fat burner will spawn more of these types.

I wouldnt say they disgust me. They just dont know any better. Dont be so harsh with people, they are just uneducated. And of course I know this first hand by working with them everyday.

i come face to face with it everyday

90% of my customers come in looking for a weight loss product which will do all the work for them.

That's society though, not just weight loss/weight lifting.

People are always looking for a quick fix.

i take them, but it's not for the 'dieting effect' it's mainly for the caffeine and the lasting energy that it gives me. the ones i take have the caffeine equivelent to 3 cups of coffee. i get more caffeine in my latte.

I think think post was made out of frustration because like a few others here I deal with them on a daily basis. One lady came in as such and I tried to educate here on better eating and fitness habits and she looks at me and says, "I'm only looking to shead about 8-10 pounds and I don't need diet and exercise to do it!" I mean seriously! :arghh: However to add to the hilarity, the store I'm currently working for is directly next to a REALLY popular fried chicken place. I mean seriously, I could recruit all kinds of new business haha.

Malley

Yeah that would get a bit frustrating. I agree alot of the public think they can just pop pills and drop weight by eating the fried chicken....its just no realistic.
