What Ingredients are in the Best Fat Burner?

Guarana

Guarana is a wild shrub that grows in Brazil. It has been used there for centuries as a "health tonic." Guarana is also a natural source of caffeine (typically standardized at 22%).

Guarana is beneficial in losing weight because it stimulates the nervous system along with enabling your body to release fat into the blood stream to be used as energy (called lipolysis). It also has added benefits of being an anti-oxidant and diuretic.

• The best fat burner has at least 800mg of guarana per daily serving.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea has been shown in clinical studies to increase the metabolic rate. Along with increasing your metabolism (More Energy!) green tea is also a powerful anti- oxidant.

Also, green tea extract is very beneficial because it is a glucose regulator. It regulates glucose by restricting the digestive enzyme amylase that turns starches into glucose. By slowing down the rate of glucose entering your blood stream, it keeps your insulin levels from going crazy.

• The best fat burner will have at least 450mg of green tea extract per daily serving.

Chromium Picolinate

Chromium is a mineral found in trace amounts in our diets. In fact, scientist believe that the Western diet is 90% deficient in chromium.

Chromium is important because it is an insulin regulator. It enables your body to properly use insulin to regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood stream. This is very helpful because out of control insulin can have adverse affects such as:

• Fatigue (especially after meals)
• Irritable mood
• And, problems focusing throughout the day

Is chromium the "magic" solution to weight loss?

No, but it is part of the solution. It's ability to stabilize your insulin levels and eliminate sugar ("cookie monster") cravings can be a powerful allie in winning the weight loss war.

• The best fat burner will contain 200 mcg of chromium picolinate per daily serving.
