How to take fat burning supplements safely and effectively
First and foremost this video is for the ones who are just starting out on their fat burning journey. Losing weight can be tough for anybody, especially when you just do not know what to do.
Then you see all these ads for supplements that are supposed to help you. but how do you take them right? When I started I had no idea whatsoever how to diet and exercise. So this video is for beginners and those who are just curious about how to take them.
I mean when I first entered a gym it was 1990 I was fresh outta High School and I wanted to get big. The problem was I did not know how my very first day I tried to bench 100 pounds and yea I barely did it lol. Let’s just say the weights at the gym were very different than the ones at home Very Different.
I mean I really didn’t even have a workout program our routine, so my next step was to get some muscle magazines like Muscle & Fitness and Flex. They helped me for the most part and I was getting stronger and even a tad bigger I thought to myself ok I got that down but how do I get abs like the guys in the magazines.
Ok so I was a nieve 18-year old I heard of steroids but the guys in these books no way would they ever use them lol. Yea that is exactly what I thought it really was. Again I just graduated High School and was just learning about life itself Hell I was still getting used to not going to school.
So I went down to the local health food store, it was 1990 there were not many supplement stores around except for GNC and that was even 20 min away and the cashier wasn’t as cute. So I bought my first bottle of Razor Cuts and I was sooo excited one bottle was going to give me my six-pack abs.
Yea I uh took the pills the way the directions told me to, and I worked out 3 to 4 days a week. And after one month I gained 5 pounds what the hell right. So I go back to the store and said I gained weight rather than lost weight. Then she askes hows your diet? Diet? I asked she said yea what are your eating?
Uh, food? She chuckles and asks are you eating any salads? Fruits and vegetables? What is my carb and protein intake? Whoa, Whoa Whoa sweetheart slowdown what are you talking about?
She then says I have to reduce my calorie intake and regulate my protein and carbs. And I need to have a fat-burning workout and even add this thing called cardio. Wow, now my mind was blown I bought a fresh bottle of Razor Cuts and the new issue of Flex and off I went with my new strategy and another month later I am down 8 pounds but now I had a thing called definition!
And Well…
The rest is history and then I found out a few weeks later she had a boyfriend that lived in Morristown but we still remained friends ahh to be young again lol…
Now, What did we learn…
We learned that many fat burners work and that they are supplemental. Meaning just that they help us burn the fat. We still need a diet and exercise program to help them work. Now we are allowed cheat days but only one or two days a week any more than that well what can I say you might be lean but did you achieve your goal?
Listen I have had cheat days turn into cheat weeks even cheat months but I always got back on track eventually in end we are all only human.
I have been struggling with my weight since I was a kid, hey I am Sicilian/Irish born in the 70s we were always eating. Then in 1984 after crying on how overweight I was. My mom put me in Nurti System and lost the weight but the battle was won but the war not over. My weight went up and down all through High School. I discovered Bodybuilding in 1989 then Kickboxing and Boxing in 1990 and never looked back. And the past 30 years have been up and down but it happens to the best of us. I started this blog for people like me, because I have been there.
