Fat Burning Pills - Do they work?

... anywho g'night doodsUnderstanding why you're having frequent bowel movements with this pill, means that you have to understand how fat-burners work. Most fat-burning/absorbing pills work by absorbing the fat from food, and then pushing it out during bowel movements. This means that if your diet isn't right, you're going to have increasing bowel movements along with sometimes painful/embarrassing ones.
So for this "week," which was a long time ago, you might have not been eating a lot of food with fat that you ate last week.
Understanding weight changes means understanding what measuring your weight means. When you step on the scale, you are measuring everything... your bones, muscles, insidey parts, clothes, shoes, keys in your pocket, food you just ate, water, and so on.
In order to measure your weight correctly, measure it during the same time of the day, and wear the same pieces of clothes.
Also, 6 weeks and no results? It's going to take a lot longer than that to see results. However, if your starting weight is 155, and it's now 148~151 in 6 weeks, that means you had a slow start. Just keep working on your diet (meaning making it better than drinking energy drinks and that stuff), and work on a exercise program that includes both cardio and weights.
6 weeks and no results, is too long without a positive result. However, there is a result nonetheless, and it isnt the one wanted.
Set up a monitor review cycle of two weeks or something like that (but do review before 6 weeks), do not waite in 6 week intervals to interpret your results.
In 6 weeks, this is more than enough time, in my opinion to see good results--in fat loss.
If you do a review (say 2 weeks for example), and make an adjustment, by the 6th week, you may see a changed result. If you do the same thing you will get the same thing.
I agree: weigh yourself with the same cloths and at the same time. It is normal for the body to gain weight during the day (eating and fluids effect wgt during the day). As time passes, the top end (if one weighs themselves at the end of the day) will lower, and the low end (after a sleep induced fast, and dry), will also lower over time.
In any case, do not fly by the seat of your pants with the efforts you put in yourself.

I may have exaggerated a bit. I have taken before and after pics and I see a huge loss in fat. I did manage to get my bench up 50 more pounds.
However, I think in my before picture...I am bloated with food..not sure though.
It is hard to remember. All I know is that I need to get rid of the fat around my pecs and stomach. that is where it is all at.
I find it hard to have a complete diet planned out like you guys do because of the lack of meat in the house (culture thing and I only eat it when I am out). So I end up eating whatever is made. I have accustomed myself to eating smaller proportions.
The reason why I have so much fat around those areas is probably because since my culture generally promotes a meat-free diet....they tend to overdo on teh oil in vegetables to make it taste better.

Which means, the only fat burner pill is the body and the one steering the ship---the diet.
