Fat Burners: What are they?

A fat burner is exactly as it is presented. A substance, or combination of substances, normally in supplement form, that assist with the burning of fat. Specifically: “The term ‘fat burner’ is used to describe nutrition supplements that claim to acutely increase fat metabolism or energy expenditure, impair fat absorption, increase weight loss, increase fat oxidation during exercise, or somehow cause long-term adaptations that promote fat metabolism.” 

Good grief, what a mouthful. Of course the clinical explanation doesn’t do the real world situation any justice, aside from the supposed “claims.” The hard truth is that 90% of so-called “fat burners” are frauds and fakes; supplements sold to you with the promise of achieving something that can’t be achieved. This is why Swole Alternative Medicine takes a different approach. 

Each Body Differs

There is no “cure-all.” A one size fits all solution is not possible when it comes to burning fat. It’s not a toothbrush, it’s a serious metabolic process that has evolved specifically to keep you alive in harsh conditions when calories become scarce. It’s possible this very article could be the reason you freeze to death if we re-enter the ice age, but that’s not predicted to happen for some time now, so you should be safe. 

So, what sorts of tips are there for burning fat? And why is the approach from Swole so unique? Well anyone and their offspring can tell you that eating fiber, cutting trans fats, and holding off the liquor for a few weeks can improve your weight situation. Those tips are old hat cure-alls that will bounce off the brain like your mother telling you to sit up straight. They’re too obvious, too simple, and too ineffective for what you may be looking to lose.
