In reply to Kat Anderson-Shwydky. You're right Kat. I always put them in the same category as they both have the higher heart rate effect.

Great article Kristine, but I do want to clarify one thing. Ephedrine is not caffeine, it is a herb that also increases your heart rate, but is different from caffeine.

In reply to Randy. Yes, coconut oil is great stuff! Too often people get scared of it as its saturated fat, but its completely different from animal fat and is so healthy, and yes, it can help boost your metabolism.

I have also read and article in “Inside Fitness Canada” magazine that Coconut Oil has ‘thermogenic’ properties. I have made the switch from regular name brand ‘cooking’ oil to either a better quality Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. I find that everything cooked in the Coconut Oil seems to taste better. It is an excellent oil for cooking specifically Chicken, Salmon and also Eggs. Coconut Oil seems to be a staple in the Paleo type meal plans…

In reply to Logos712. Mike, you're so right! Abs ARE made in the kitchen, and far too often, people rely on pills alone.

Years ago I tried several different “fat burners”, never again. Most people that use them don’t really need them. I not only got the jittery feelings, but, nausea. Even mood/personality swings; quick temper. They can even cause/contribute to high blood pressure. There’re safer, more natural products out there, like the ones listed above. As the saying goes,”Abs are made in the kitchen”. So many susbstitute pills for proper diet.
