Supplements that make cardio exercise easier, like ALCAR or resveratrol, might be considered "fat loss", but only if you actually do the exercise.
Interesting comment...how do they make exercise easier? ALC I get a mental boost which may help, nothing from Res I've noticed though.
I like 5 HTP for it's appetite suppressing ability and agree with the green tea. I also have started to look leaner after adding astaxanthin to my arsenal.
I used to use metformin regularly which without doubt helped keep me lean...too many sides in the end though.
Similar eXperiences; -
5-HTP is the anti-craver to rule them all IME, - ALCAR is good for mental stamina, which may ultimately channel into more physical activity, for me.
Despite many anecdotal records on the board, I'm now sure I get an
increase in appetite from resveratrol, but I take it in gram dosage anyway because it seems to (n=1) help me recover fast(er) from vigorous physical activity. Plus, in the pretty mirror I look like a Slender Mouse with an Empty Bottle of Wine if I take enough 8-). Interestingly, it wrecked my body first (tendonitis), but no more. Didn't notice anything from astaxanthin, FWIW.
Now, metformin is a lil' tricky. I think it may interfere with several nutrients, like B12. And it's well known to be harsh on the tummy. I started with 250mg for several days, and took 500mg for many months, - took breaks (metformin doesn't agree with a sh!tty diet!), - before moving up to a gram daily (current). And taking with a long-term low'ish-caloric diet I don't experience any sides, AFAIK, from this dose.
