Fat loss…possibly the greatest challenge when it comes to the health industry. One will let their body become slowly out of shape over months, maybe even years, and then wishes to get back to where they were in weeks or months. Is it possible? Certainly…with the right diet, training, and most of all dedication. Is it easy? Not at all…it is only for the most dedicated and determined.
As you slowly but surely gain fat your body’s natural hormone levels adjust accordingly to the new weight gain. Most of the time, they actually shift in a way to make you start gaining weight even faster. These hormone pathways are very intrinsic and not easily altered. What really sucks is as you are gaining weight you will find that your body can quickly adapt to putting on fat and it will suddenly be easier and easier for you to gain fat. Unfortunately it does not work the same way when you are trying to lose fat.
When you start to lose the fat you are fighting against an evil force in your body that is dead set on keeping you overweight. It is a little phenomenon called remaining in homeostasis. Your body thinks all the fat you have been gaining is “normal” and it is going to fight you to stay overweight.
This is why you must have such strict diet, training, and dedication when you really want to lose fat. There is no quick fix. But if you do it right you will be ever so grateful. One who gets their bodyweight back to where they want it naturally though diet, training, and safe supplementation gains the ability of bringing their body’s homeostasis to a state that considers their new lesser weight as “normal”. You still must be dedicated in your diet and training, but you will not have to make it your second job once you get to your ideal weight and stay there for an extended period of time.
So moral of the story? Use proper diet, training, and supplementation to get to your ideal weight. Remain at your ideal weight and continue being extremely dedicated while your body can start accepting this new lesser weight as normal. This will prevent that evil fat rebound we hear of so often.
So let’s talk supplementation…
Fat burners fall into one of the largest categories in the dietary supplement industry. Walk into any supplement store or browse any supplement website and you will see fat burner after fat burner, all claiming to be better than the next.
The most important thing users need to ask themselves before purchasing a fat burner is what do they want out of the product, and what do they NOT want from the product? Of course everyone says the same thing… “I want to lose weight fast!” But users need to also look deep into what they do NOT want from a fat burner.
The majority of fat burners fall into one of two categories:
1) Stimulant based fat burners
2) Non-stimulant fat burners
Stimulant based fat burners generally revolve around the same ingredients and the same side effects. They usually are formulated around caffeine and 1,3-dimethylamylamine so it gets the users heart rate up giving them jitters and an unpleasant crash hours later. Other side effects associated include anxiety, increased blood pressure, headaches, and trouble sleeping. People who do not want to experience these side effects tend to choose a non-stimulant fat burner.
Stimulant fat burners tend to offer the greatest effects in overall fat loss. After all, stimulants drive the fat burning pathways in the body.
Non-stimulant fat burners tend to not give very extreme results, especially in comparison to stimulant fat burners. They never contain stimulants and often are centered around green tea or glucose regulating herbs. The strongest classes of non-stimulant based fat burners are those that contain thyroid amplifiers like T2 or natural products that increase thyroid output.
So is there any way to get the best of both worlds?
Enter Alpha-T2
This product has found its own category in a rather washed out market of fat burners. Alpha-T2 uses new innovative stimulants that are designed for one purpose in mind: Give users the fat loss benefits of powerful stimulants without the side effects associated with stimulant based fat burners. After all…side effects don’t make you lose weight.
So how do they do it?
First, there is no caffeine or 1,3-dimethylamylamine in Alpha-T2. Second, it uses new innovative ingredients that closely target the fat burning pathways and do not target the pathways associated with the side effects of stimulants. And third, it includes pure T2, a powerful non-stimulant fat burner ingredient.
Alpha-T2 uses three ingredients that work together to give optimal results:
Rauwolscine HCl – This is a new fat loss ingredient that has shown to be a clean stimulant that up-regulates powerful fat loss pathways (the adrenergic pathways in particular) without heavy effect on receptors that would yield strong side effects. Studies even show this ingredient as the ability to lower blood pressure – a very different effect than most stimulants.
These alpha adrenoceptors are prevalent in certain fatty areas of the body like the midsection, chest, and lower back. When they are “on” they are activating fat storing mechanisms. Rauwolscine HCl has the ability to turn off these alpha adrenoceptors and directly target fat loss in the midsection. Anecdotally products containing Rauwolscine HCl like Alpha-T2 have shown to be very effective at targeting the love handles and stomach.
Higenamine – This ingredient is known as a beta-agonist. Other beta-agonists you may be familiar with include ephedrine and clenbuterol. Crazy right? We all know these as having tons of side effects. Jitters, crash, anxiety, etc. But higenamine has not shown to cause any of this and in fact has also shown to lower blood pressure like Rauwolscine in studies. A beta-agonist that can lower blood pressure is impressive to say the least.
Beta-agonists are the most sought after fat burners for a number of reasons. They are certainly the strongest fat burners, but they offer a unique effect to counter what many fear when losing weight. When dropping weight many bodybuilders fear they will lose muscle mass in the process. Beta-agonists have shown to have strong muscle preservation properties, and be mildly anabolic/anti-catabolic in skeletal muscle. This makes beta-agonists extremely popular to those also wanting to maintain or gain muscle mass when losing weight.
T2 – The T2 ingredients are becoming very popular in fat loss products. They have shown to increase metabolism and thermogenesis. It makes sense this ingredient is in the formula as the T2 ingredients are very popular non-stimulant ingredients.
In terms of effectiveness, users of Alpha-T2 are reporting equal or greater effectiveness compared to common stimulant based fat burners. A strong thermogenic effect coupled with a clean energy feeling is the most common way this product is described. This shows a great step in fat burner ingredient innovation for the supplement industry.
In summary, this product is a fit for essentially every crowd, as long as the hardcore guys can get their heads around the fact that side effects do not equal fat loss. Other essential fat loss ingredients can be added to Alpha-T2 if someone is looking for combinations. PES has recommended that green tea extract can be used in conjunction with Alpha-T2 if you want to add more stim-free effects and caffeine or caffeinated products can be used with Alpha-T2 if you truly enjoy classic stimulants.
