Hi all,
I've just been asked about fat burners, so I thought I'd re-post this previous article:
Healthy regards,

Amino Acid - L-Serine
L-Serine is required for fat metabolism and tissue growth. L-Serine's relationship with tissue growth means that it's a common inclusion in skin moisturisers. Likewise, as L-Serine's required for fat metabolism, it's an ingredient in some "fat loss" supplements, although, more commonly sold in supplements advertising improved brain function, due to L-Serine helping to form components of Phospholipids in cell membranes and being a constituent of brain proteins. As mentioned many times, the supplement industry (& cosmetic industry come to that) are big business and a "healthy" lifestyle will always outweigh the benefits of individual products, unless of course there's an identified deficiency.

Diet
For many of you diet will mean losing weight, toning up and burning fat, rather than just your maintenance daily eating habits. There are many different diets out there - Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, Zone Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet, Ketogenic Diet etc. - all of which have the simple aim of you consuming less calories (food energy), therefore, causing a negative energy balance & you losing weight.
Different diets present different problems, some more so than others, which we'll discuss within each subject matter. The fundamental flaw of most peoples diet plans (or rather, lack of plan) is both EFFICIENCY and SUSTAINABILITY. For example, if you did not alter your activity levels, but cut out a couple of meals a day (say 600 calories less a day), initially you'll lose weight through causing a negative energy balance, but before long this will become your maintenance calories (level energy balance), as your metabolism (body's processes) will slow. The reason, not having to work as hard to break down food as regularly and correcting its self to your new calorie intake - your body's very clever! Subsequently, if you were to resume what you considered normal eating, you're likely to put on more weight than you started with. Not quite what you wanted to read - there being no quick fix, but, if thought out properly, there's no reason you cannot achieve realistic diet & physique goals. Below are helpful pages and popular diet subjects.
