Not much to say. All It does is help the body clean "dirt" from the system cause you are not adding much new "dirt" during the fast. Other than that you increase the amount of energy/stuff your body can take up from food, that is your body wastes less cause its in panic mode. It thinks you are in a starvation situation so it scrabbles to consume all it can from what little you put in. So in certain situations it actually helps you to gain weight if you do not balance your diet to counter this effect. So in short. you have to fast a few days every few days to gain a permanent-ish effect, you need to eat less but have to be extra careful so you do not undernourish yourself . I am on a keto based diet, and I fast working hours(that is eat a small meal coming home and one meal leaving for work, exercise in the gym (45-60min) 20-25min on the treadmill and then lift weights. I can tell you if you keep between 20-50g carbs as a rule 5/7 days and never above 100g keep yourself moving (a 5-8km walk a day minimum) and you will lose fat reserves, get more energy(or at least the feeling of it) and you stymie the need for sugary treats. I actually get a runny tummy nowadays from any excessive/pure non leaf carbs, it doesn't digests properly, and that is a good motivator to keep yourself away from such things!! Sorry went on a bit of a rant and off topic slightly, but I thought I would add it, if not for your interest then for someone else that might read. All I can say is to take time and listen to your body and it will tell you what it wants/needs/dislikes. Might have to trial and error a lot when it comes to food.
I would suggest that the two people that gave answers already, just go over to pubmed.gov and search for the studies, there are hundreds of them now, and look at the actual evidence, instead of just making assumptions and speaking nonsense. Seriously, go look things up before you speak about them, because you look like an idiot right now.
@@alisoncircus Ramadan is not the same at intermittent fasting. In the latter, you get to actually drink water and you don't necessarily eat nothing while the sun is up.
Actually just eating meat only would be sufficient. You will get your metabolism boasted by up to 300 calories a day. You will switch to burning fat. You will stop being hungry within 2 weeks. All of this is proven by those who did switch to carnivore diet, numerous studies and myself. I am hungry for coffee only (modification of bulletproof coffee - coffee with grass fed butter, cacao butter and coconut oil) Be aware your kidneys will do much better job and you would have to consume 5-6 grams of ordinary salt and at least 9 grams of potassium chloride (e-508), otherwise you would get into sodium and potassium deficiency within just few days.
Guess what, even if they do, it won't be enough to make it significant compared to actual changes in your diet. A 50 calories increase in your metabolism like the one in the capsaicin example would lead to a loss of 1 pound every 2.33 months, assuming you are eating at the exact calorie intake to maintain your current weight. That's nothing. You could achieve the same result by removing one tablespoon of sugar from what you add to your coffee in the morning.
@@voivoed you are right in being wrong Removing 1 tablespoon of sugar from diet may actually be sufficient to lower insulin, which may be sufficient to be able to burn fat instead of sugar Burning off sugar is an emergency and actually body wants to get rid of sugar that is the reason why it is burned in first place.
They never like to give any real measurable benefits because they can say "it may improve__________" because as long as SOME people show SOME improvement they can keep making those claims without getting sued, even if its a 1% increase and even if the increase is within the margin of error. I saw some article making typical clickbait claims of "this thing will make you lose weight" and when i clicked on the source link the source was a study said something like "the supplement caused an average 3% reduction in weight and the margin of error was 5%" so the supposed benefit was below the margin of error so it could have theoretically have done zero benefit or even done a tiny bit of harm like a 1% increase in weight.

The BMI scale is truly terrible. It's always told me that I'm overweight even though I'm not. I'm 5'6" and weigh between 155-165, depending on a number of factors.

Was skeptical as I am of most RUclips videos but this was surprisingly informative. Didn’t learn anything new but to those general laymen this is fantastic information. Great video
This is why if you want to lose body fat and keep it off long term your best bet is body re-composition, building muscle mass through resistance training and increased protein consumption while keeping yourself at caloric maintenance, or a slight deficit if you're currently overweight, rather than crash dieting and doing a ton of steady state cardio like jogging.
I need something to slow down my metabolism. Seriously, every single calorie I eat, my body burns off right away. I tried to sit down and relax for an hour after I eat to see if that helps but so far, nothing. I need something to help me gain weight.
Can anyone further explain what he meant when he said that the EGCG in green tea extract is known to degrade neurotransmitters such as dopamine, etc.? I'd love to know more about the degradation process and what it causes. My initial, uneducated reaction was that it sounded negative, and that to have your very important neurotransmitters degrade seems like it would have negative effects, but I'm confused because I'm pretty sure he made it sound like a positive benefit.
As someone with a disease that sends the Sympathetic Nervous System into overdrive, I don’t understand the desire to ingest/do things to freak it out. I’d kill for my heart rate to slow to normal, my limbs to get proper blood flow, my sleep to even out, and the immense pain to die down. I’m not even allowed to watch superhero movies because they can stimulate adrenaline release and worsen symptoms.
Some organs and tissues are very specific about which substrate they use. For example, liver cells will use most nutrients for energy EXCEPT glucose, whereas brain cells are the opposite: they depend almost exclusively on glucose, or ketone bodies under starvation conditions.
Why we have headaches before not eating for long time? Specially at morning after 12-14 hours without eating? I stopped morning headaches by eating normally at nights, and eating something before the 8 hours. After that 8 hs, headaches are coming with no doubt. So no matter if at 4pm I'm still awake, eat something and back to bed, then awakenings are normal. Also started to do squats, abs and some easy home fitness, or jump onto my Doop's (in-line) and practice equilibrium, but slowly & at home, not streets. yeah I'm a novice and don't want to break my head on the streets till I'm well prepared for those rollers lol also use the Doops to do legs and butt, as it's weight is a good resistance, then go to roll some 15 minutes along the house, then another set of legs-abs using the rollers. I don't know if this is fine to mix weight lift + cardio exercise, but it makes me feel better and strong, take off anxiety and eat better. Well, my muscles hurts and in a week I noticed much better tonification but the belly fat is there and I need to eat more calories than before...as muscles need proteins to grow.
What about SLOWING DOWN your metabolism? Sleep deprivation definitely isn't working for me as I've slept an average of 5 hours a night most of my life. I've always been underweight for my height and have wanted to change that for a long time. Is there any hope for skinny guys like me out there?
I'll back the caffeine one. I drink 4 sodas a day and eat basically whenever I want and am only right at average weight. Though I'm an insomniac so I can't really back the sleep one. Even when not on caffeine I still can't sleep. I only get dreams like once a month if even and when I wake up I usually feel worse than when I went to sleep (but that goes away after about 15-30 minutes). Possibly connected to me never really feeling tired. I just sleep when I want to. Have gone more than 24 hours and only stopped when my eyes started to dry out. But hey I stay out a solid 10-18 hours afterwards.
1:54 What you said there made me curious, do people who have had kidney transplants burn more calories then? Since a kidney transplant doesn't involve removing the now-useless kidney and thus leaves the patient with 3 kidneys?
Insulin suppresses the expression of UCP1 in adipose tissue, thus forcing mitochondria in it to burn less fat. UCP1 is important enough that several SNPs of it have been associated with adiposity. Insulin also inhibits hormone-sensitive lipase, thus making fat in adipose tissue less accessible to the body. Lowering blood insulin isn't "really hard to do," although I doubt a supplement could do it.
In New Mexico, chili, green and red are staples. Jalapenos (whole, fresh) with every meal. I knew an old man who had a tortilla covered with chili and a dash of salt as a mid morning snack and drank coffee all day. That man lived into his late 90s on a small ranch in the middle of no where.
I started reading studies more closely when I happened to read one about alcohol and testosterone. Turns out the researchers considered keeping the rats at a .24 BAC 24/7 was moderate consumption. Light consumption was I believe around .12 BAC, so constantly legally drunk still. Heavy consumption was something ridiculous like .45 BAC 24/7, not even sure how those rats lived that long. Not sure how much I'd trust that study.
When you say exercise does not burn many calories can you quantify that? Does that mean small amounts of exercise doesnt burn a lot of calories? Do the calorie counts on exercise equipment massively over estimate how much you are burning? Or are they showing a different value from what people are expecting when they see the numbers?
Muscle Hank! Where you at! He knows. BMR can rise based on an increase in lean body mass. My caloric requirement went from 2800 to 3000+ a day. It's terrible I have to eat so much and I forget :(
The only supplements that truly work in the increasing of your basal metabolic rate are all illegal or nearly illegal. These same ingredients are also highly risky to take, eliciting numerous effects on health. To name a few ephedrine, as well in the same family Clenbuterol act as B-Adrenergic receptor agonists which cause dilation of the bronchioles causing the heart to increase rate in order to compensate for the dilated bronchioles. These ingredients may increase basametobolic rate but can lead to bone mineral density decrease as well as forces cardiac tissues to more forcefully contract which can, in high dosages cause abnormal levels of minerals and other micronutrients that result in improper functioning. In the same breath, when takin in modest dosages essentially have little to no deleterious effects and can possibly assist in an already effective caloric restrictive food plan.
Ok so seriously, how the hell can lack of sleep inhibit the effect of insulin? Do we have any idea what chemical caused by lack of sleep inhibits the effectiveness of insulin? do we make an ineffective isomer of insulin when we are under-rested? I have so many questions
I got chronic illness that messes with my metabolism and energy levels and I also have dysautonomia. It doesn’t surprise me my body doesn’t burn fat, and if I were to diet I would feel extremely sick before my body actually starts burning the fat... sigh... Not to mention when things first started going downhill I barely ate because I didn’t have appetite so I plummeted to being underweight in the shortest time. So my body is holding onto these fat cells for dear life...
sorry if this has already been done but i've heard that other people in other country's really don't like drinking or eating cold things thinking it will hurt you from a "shock" to your system would be interesting to hear about this and if it's true or not
Question: Why is calorie used to measured weight gain/loss instead of mass of the food? Also, how is mass (specifically fat) released from the body after the energy from it has been used? This comes from the mismatch of the saying Burning Energy → Weight Loss
they were producing more grellin because the glucose drip was keeping them from fasting, so their body wasn’t able to use stored body fat as energy to get it through the night. in other words, The constant insulin production from the glucose blocked any chance of fat burning
Ephedra, when combined with aspirin and caffeine was the best fat burner we had. Unfortunately, if not managed properly it can have serious side effects. If it were a pharmaceutical instead of an herbal supplement, ephedra would still be on the market, prescribed by doctors.
How does the claim at 10:36, that sleep deprivation harms insulin's ability to respond to glucose, work? Insulin is a specific protein, and glucose is a specific carbohydrate. How does something as physiologically high-level as a lack of sleep interfere with the chemical interactions between two well-defined molecules?
One metabolism boost that does work is 2,4,dinitrophenol or DNP. DNP forces your mitochondria to burn sugar into heat. This is not a safe supplement though, overdose can lead to hyperthermia and total organ failure. So don't use it.
when i was 12 or 13 and getting a physical for track i was told by a doctor i had a metabolism like a rat on methamphetamine's , i didn't know what methamphetamine's were at the time
I had graves disease for 7 years and developed hashimotos disease and battled both for a few months. When graves disease lost the battle and I was left with a dead shriveled thyroid. They said my metabolism would slow down and I would gain weight easily. However 15 years later now, that has never happened. I still can't gain weight easliy. I always figured they don't know as much about metabolism as I thought. Those pills have to be so bad for people!!
I found by combining multiples of these in combination with a slight fasting diet help me lose almost 70 pounds in a year without me even realizing it but that does not mean it will necessarily work for everyone
This is really interesting! Chocolate has theobromine and not caffeine. However, I understand it works as a stimulant and probably engages the sympathetic nervous system similarly.
Best advice I can give anybody looking to use supplements such as "fat burners" is RTFL. Read the ... friendly label. Also, the ones that actually do something don't do it in a vacuum. If you don't do any work to lose weight or gain muscle, then there's nothing for the supplement to work on. It doesn't make the engine run, but some of them do give a little horsepower boost.
DNP is a metabolism worker and 100% works. It's also very easy to overdose on where you cook yourself to from the inside, and this process is irreversible. This is why it's illegal, but they DO exist.
A weird thought crossed my mind (after hearing obesity called an epidemic, which is a term that usually is used for diseases). How come you never hear of diseases infecting fat tissue? Fat stores all that energy so why do no bacteria try and access it?
Exercise (weight training), amount of calories, and type of calories all impact metabolism. I really see it better/clearer since I started Keto and IF.
I bothered to read the ingredients on all those meta boosters at my local store, and there was one common ingredient among them all. Caffeine in large doses. Like above what you'd get out of drinking a 1 liter energy drink can. Some had twice that. Everything else in them was either just a stimulant, or something to make it feel like it was working. Seriously if anyone in the comments reads this, please stay away from those products if you're already drinking sodas with caffeine, energy drinks, or pre-workouts, or a combo of all the above. You're already getting all you will from the caffeine in your other products, and more than you actually need in a day. Do not underestimate caffeine's ability to make you over dose on it. You will go from feeling an adrenaline like amp(what pre-workout makes you feel) to being on the ground with heart failure.
as a guy with hyperparathyroidism or graves. my metabolism is very high naturally. mess with it even a little... and i could drop dead on the spot. even in now knowing most off shelf boosters are BS, i still shouldn't risk it.
If you wanna lose fat go on a fast. Don’t do diets cause you’re just be hungry due to calorie deficit. Going on a fast makes you burn fat so you won’t be hungry but going on a diet still makes you burn sugar so you start losing muscles and feel fatigued. Either eat or don’t eat at all
What gets me is those people that work at those supplement stores act like they know what they talking about and people fall for it. It's worse when Engineers, Biologist, Chemist and others that should know better still fall for it.
Can you do a review on "Oxigen" water, where they say they fuse two O2 molecules to create a O4 molecule. Do you think it really works or if it pure marketing BS? (Edit: spelling)

Death is also pretty good for shedding the lbs. Maiming can help too.
Also, halve your weight by living on Mars.
Wonder why there's a push for MORE 💊 regulation? This is why.
Today's episode is brought to you by "Skinny Hank"
Was skeptical as I am of most RUclips videos but this was surprisingly informative. Didn’t learn anything new but to those general laymen this is fantastic information. Great video
God I love these SciShow videos!! They are so darn interesting, they keep me curious
This is why if you want to lose body fat and keep it off long term your best bet is body re-composition, building muscle mass through resistance training and increased protein consumption while keeping yourself at caloric maintenance, or a slight deficit if you're currently overweight, rather than crash dieting and doing a ton of steady state cardio like jogging.
I need something to slow down my metabolism. Seriously, every single calorie I eat, my body burns off right away. I tried to sit down and relax for an hour after I eat to see if that helps but so far, nothing. I need something to help me gain weight.
9:55 I was expecting the free product to be Brilliant's daily challenges.
Can anyone further explain what he meant when he said that the EGCG in green tea extract is known to degrade neurotransmitters such as dopamine, etc.? I'd love to know more about the degradation process and what it causes. My initial, uneducated reaction was that it sounded negative, and that to have your very important neurotransmitters degrade seems like it would have negative effects, but I'm confused because I'm pretty sure he made it sound like a positive benefit.

i was seeing crash course got to hank greens wikipedia and finally to this
great discovery though very nice ideas love it
Wow!! Great video! Thanks SciShow!!
educating AND helping me save money. Thanks :)

That’s a great, technically true marketing line.
“Take this supplement and you’ll be a calorie burning machine!”
But that suggests that you weren't one before.
As someone with a disease that sends the Sympathetic Nervous System into overdrive, I don’t understand the desire to ingest/do things to freak it out. I’d kill for my heart rate to slow to normal, my limbs to get proper blood flow, my sleep to even out, and the immense pain to die down. I’m not even allowed to watch superhero movies because they can stimulate adrenaline release and worsen symptoms.
Some organs and tissues are very specific about which substrate they use. For example, liver cells will use most nutrients for energy EXCEPT glucose, whereas brain cells are the opposite: they depend almost exclusively on glucose, or ketone bodies under starvation conditions.
In Soviet Russia, BS is metabolism booster
I need more calories to help me outrun the police.
Wow

Why we have headaches before not eating for long time? Specially at morning after 12-14 hours without eating?
I stopped morning headaches by eating normally at nights, and eating something before the 8 hours. After that 8 hs, headaches are coming with no doubt. So no matter if at 4pm I'm still awake, eat something and back to bed, then awakenings are normal.
Also started to do squats, abs and some easy home fitness, or jump onto my Doop's (in-line) and practice equilibrium, but slowly & at home, not streets. yeah I'm a novice and don't want to break my head on the streets till I'm well prepared for those rollers lol also use the Doops to do legs and butt, as it's weight is a good resistance, then go to roll some 15 minutes along the house, then another set of legs-abs using the rollers. I don't know if this is fine to mix weight lift + cardio exercise, but it makes me feel better and strong, take off anxiety and eat better.
Well, my muscles hurts and in a week I noticed much better tonification but the belly fat is there and I need to eat more calories than before...as muscles need proteins to grow.
however you changed your mic setup for that sponsor section in the end, it sounds better that way.
What about SLOWING DOWN your metabolism?
Sleep deprivation definitely isn't working for me as I've slept an average of 5 hours a night most of my life. I've always been underweight for my height and have wanted to change that for a long time.
Is there any hope for skinny guys like me out there?
I'll back the caffeine one. I drink 4 sodas a day and eat basically whenever I want and am only right at average weight. Though I'm an insomniac so I can't really back the sleep one. Even when not on caffeine I still can't sleep. I only get dreams like once a month if even and when I wake up I usually feel worse than when I went to sleep (but that goes away after about 15-30 minutes). Possibly connected to me never really feeling tired. I just sleep when I want to. Have gone more than 24 hours and only stopped when my eyes started to dry out. But hey I stay out a solid 10-18 hours afterwards.
1:54 What you said there made me curious, do people who have had kidney transplants burn more calories then? Since a kidney transplant doesn't involve removing the now-useless kidney and thus leaves the patient with 3 kidneys?
Anything not approved by the FDA should not be taken unless prescribed by a physician. Good advice. If it sounds too good to be true often it is.
Insulin suppresses the expression of UCP1 in adipose tissue, thus forcing mitochondria in it to burn less fat. UCP1 is important enough that several SNPs of it have been associated with adiposity. Insulin also inhibits hormone-sensitive lipase, thus making fat in adipose tissue less accessible to the body. Lowering blood insulin isn't "really hard to do," although I doubt a supplement could do it.
In New Mexico, chili, green and red are staples. Jalapenos (whole, fresh) with every meal. I knew an old man who had a tortilla covered with chili and a dash of salt as a mid morning snack and drank coffee all day. That man lived into his late 90s on a small ranch in the middle of no where.
I started reading studies more closely when I happened to read one about alcohol and testosterone. Turns out the researchers considered keeping the rats at a .24 BAC 24/7 was moderate consumption. Light consumption was I believe around .12 BAC, so constantly legally drunk still. Heavy consumption was something ridiculous like .45 BAC 24/7, not even sure how those rats lived that long. Not sure how much I'd trust that study.
When you say exercise does not burn many calories can you quantify that? Does that mean small amounts of exercise doesnt burn a lot of calories? Do the calorie counts on exercise equipment massively over estimate how much you are burning? Or are they showing a different value from what people are expecting when they see the numbers?
I found this very informative, thanks!
I disagree completely my wallet loses weight every time I go to the supplement store.
So does mine, but only because it is the only place I can find Herbamare
Muscle Hank! Where you at! He knows.
BMR can rise based on an increase in lean body mass.
My caloric requirement went from 2800 to 3000+ a day. It's terrible I have to eat so much and I forget :(
Serious question: what about phentermine? Do you actually burn more calories on that?
Wait, I had to stop after the first sentence, "nutrition store"? 😂 Am I the only one who is not from America and had no idea such a thing existed?
We don't have them in the UK either. You buy proven stuff from pharmacies and the alternative medicine from 'health food stores'
The only supplements that truly work in the increasing of your basal metabolic rate are all illegal or nearly illegal. These same ingredients are also highly risky to take, eliciting numerous effects on health. To name a few ephedrine, as well in the same family Clenbuterol act as B-Adrenergic receptor agonists which cause dilation of the bronchioles causing the heart to increase rate in order to compensate for the dilated bronchioles. These ingredients may increase basametobolic rate but can lead to bone mineral density decrease as well as forces cardiac tissues to more forcefully contract which can, in high dosages cause abnormal levels of minerals and other micronutrients that result in improper functioning. In the same breath, when takin in modest dosages essentially have little to no deleterious effects and can possibly assist in an already effective caloric restrictive food plan.
Ok so seriously, how the hell can lack of sleep inhibit the effect of insulin?
Do we have any idea what chemical caused by lack of sleep inhibits the effectiveness of insulin? do we make an ineffective isomer of insulin when we are under-rested?
I have so many questions
They work, I lost 50 Pounds the first week. (that's about $61.00 US)
I got chronic illness that messes with my metabolism and energy levels and I also have dysautonomia. It doesn’t surprise me my body doesn’t burn fat, and if I were to diet I would feel extremely sick before my body actually starts burning the fat... sigh...
Not to mention when things first started going downhill I barely ate because I didn’t have appetite so I plummeted to being underweight in the shortest time. So my body is holding onto these fat cells for dear life...
What about eating a laxative after a sugary meal? Can’t digest if u poop it out first
This was such a great and well explored video.
sorry if this has already been done but i've heard that other people in other country's really don't like drinking or eating cold things thinking it will hurt you from a "shock" to your system would be interesting to hear about this and if it's true or not
Question: Why is calorie used to measured weight gain/loss instead of mass of the food? Also, how is mass (specifically fat) released from the body after the energy from it has been used? This comes from the mismatch of the saying Burning Energy → Weight Loss
they were producing more grellin because the glucose drip was keeping them from fasting, so their body wasn’t able to use stored body fat as energy to get it through the night.
in other words, The constant insulin production from the glucose blocked any chance of fat burning
This is an informative and interesting video.
Ephedra, when combined with aspirin and caffeine was the best fat burner we had. Unfortunately, if not managed properly it can have serious side effects. If it were a pharmaceutical instead of an herbal supplement, ephedra would still be on the market, prescribed by doctors.
How does the claim at 10:36, that sleep deprivation harms insulin's ability to respond to glucose, work? Insulin is a specific protein, and glucose is a specific carbohydrate. How does something as physiologically high-level as a lack of sleep interfere with the chemical interactions between two well-defined molecules?
But what if I have a super fast metabolism scishow? How do you slow it down?
One metabolism boost that does work is 2,4,dinitrophenol or DNP. DNP forces your mitochondria to burn sugar into heat. This is not a safe supplement though, overdose can lead to hyperthermia and total organ failure. So don't use it.
*Drinks metabolism booster drink*
*See's title*
*Spits out drink*
I guess SciShow is saying it how it is this time.
Fun fact: Absolutely no part of Red Bull comes from any kind of animal.
So how much minimum hours should we be sleeping in total?
Excellent video thank you so much
when i was 12 or 13 and getting a physical for track i was told by a doctor i had a metabolism like a rat on methamphetamine's , i didn't know what methamphetamine's were at the time
I water a LOT of plants. 🌵🌴🌲🌾No wonder my metabolism is kinda high.
I had graves disease for 7 years and developed hashimotos disease and battled both for a few months. When graves disease lost the battle and I was left with a dead shriveled thyroid. They said my metabolism would slow down and I would gain weight easily. However 15 years later now, that has never happened. I still can't gain weight easliy. I always figured they don't know as much about metabolism as I thought.
Those pills have to be so bad for people!!
I found by combining multiples of these in combination with a slight fasting diet help me lose almost 70 pounds in a year without me even realizing it but that does not mean it will necessarily work for everyone
"Am I anabolic yet?" - James Linker
This is really interesting! Chocolate has theobromine and not caffeine. However, I understand it works as a stimulant and probably engages the sympathetic nervous system similarly.
Best advice I can give anybody looking to use supplements such as "fat burners" is RTFL. Read the ... friendly label. Also, the ones that actually do something don't do it in a vacuum. If you don't do any work to lose weight or gain muscle, then there's nothing for the supplement to work on. It doesn't make the engine run, but some of them do give a little horsepower boost.
thats like one of the few channels where i dont have to speed up the video to 1.5 inorder to listen to a normal person talk, thx :D
I like how the ad at the start of this video was "five thermic foods" by vince sant
DNP is a metabolism worker and 100% works. It's also very easy to overdose on where you cook yourself to from the inside, and this process is irreversible. This is why it's illegal, but they DO exist.
A weird thought crossed my mind (after hearing obesity called an epidemic, which is a term that usually is used for diseases).
How come you never hear of diseases infecting fat tissue? Fat stores all that energy so why do no bacteria try and access it?
Is there any specific reason I can't just ingest a whole bunch of lipase?
Plz do a vid about static strength and armwrestling
Anyone know if IF increases fat burning? I've been doing it for 3 weeks and don't want to realize it's BS
Exercise (weight training), amount of calories, and type of calories all impact metabolism. I really see it better/clearer since I started Keto and IF.
I bothered to read the ingredients on all those meta boosters at my local store, and there was one common ingredient among them all. Caffeine in large doses. Like above what you'd get out of drinking a 1 liter energy drink can. Some had twice that. Everything else in them was either just a stimulant, or something to make it feel like it was working. Seriously if anyone in the comments reads this, please stay away from those products if you're already drinking sodas with caffeine, energy drinks, or pre-workouts, or a combo of all the above. You're already getting all you will from the caffeine in your other products, and more than you actually need in a day. Do not underestimate caffeine's ability to make you over dose on it. You will go from feeling an adrenaline like amp(what pre-workout makes you feel) to being on the ground with heart failure.
is there a such thing as metabolism reducers,if so do they work?
as a guy with hyperparathyroidism or graves. my metabolism is very high naturally. mess with it even a little... and i could drop dead on the spot. even in now knowing most off shelf boosters are BS, i still shouldn't risk it.
If you wanna lose fat go on a fast. Don’t do diets cause you’re just be hungry due to calorie deficit.
Going on a fast makes you burn fat so you won’t be hungry but going on a diet still makes you burn sugar so you start losing muscles and feel fatigued.
Either eat or don’t eat at all
What gets me is those people that work at those supplement stores act like they know what they talking about and people fall for it. It's worse when Engineers, Biologist, Chemist and others that should know better still fall for it.
Can you do a review on "Oxigen" water, where they say they fuse two O2 molecules to create a O4 molecule. Do you think it really works or if it pure marketing BS? (Edit: spelling)
There is no such thing as O4. Well there technically is, but not in water you could drink.
Dude your voice audibly changed when you started doing your Brilliant advertisement. It was... odd.
