green tea

[doyoudo911]

my female friend has been trying to drop a couple pounds, she knows how to diet and train (as she says) she is 5'5" she dosent know her weight (UMMM WTF?) lol anyways shes pretty thin she just has a lil belly (she says)

she just wants to know if hydroxycut and/or hydroxycut green tea will help her out.

problem: she has anemia and an iron blood count of 8.

with this problem will the hydroxycuts have any effect on her?

First question...is she being treated for her anaemia?

Answer to your question...anaemia can cause issues with heart palpitations (due to poor oxygen availability) so adding a stimulant (like hydroxycut) to the mix is probably not a good idea.

There are stimulant-free fat burners on the market, maybe she could try one of those?

any recommended products?

any recommended products?

Loads mate, anything that doesn't contain stimulants should be fine. Although from the sounds of things she may have issues with high cortisol levels (hence the 'belly').

A combo of an anti-cortisol, green tea extract and 'smart fats' (Fish oil/CLA/Sesamin) would be a pretty effective fat-loss stack so long as her diet and training is spot-on.

Rosie did a review of her thoughts on using an anti-cortisol for leaning out, she might want to take a look at it to get a woman's perspective:

Rosie's Review of Designer Supplements' Lean Xtreme

My personal choice for 'all-one' stimulant-free products would be:

Slim Xtreme - Anabolic Xtreme
Lipotrophin PM - Applied Neutrceuticals
REDuction PM - Controlled labs
SuperCuts III - Universal

Or you can split it up...

Anti-cortisol:

Reduce XT - Serious Nutrition Solutions
Lean Xtreme - Designer Supplements

Green Tea:

Green Tea - Universal
Lean Green - Primaforce
Green Tea Extract - NOW foods

'Smart' fats - You don't by any means have to use all of these, but she could look up a few logs and pick one that interests her.

[Fish Oil: Any brand will do, but particularly respected brands are...

Omega Essentials - Applied Neutrceuticals
Vaporise - MAN sports

Sesamin: This is a sesame seed lignin, it helps with mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation.

SesaThin - Avant Labs (original and the best)
Sesamin - SciVation
Sesaglow - Controlled Labs

These are just some of the ones I've used in the past and enjoyed, if she has anymore questions then maybe creating an account for her would be best.

Edit: I don't recommend any Thyroid-enhancing products or products that act on the Thyroid gland (e.g. gugglesterones), these compounds seem to bind to the androgen receptor, down-regulating its action (really bad for muscle building!) and aren't great for fat-burning.

In other words stay away from these types of products.

Hi- I'm the "friend" what are the mostttt effective non-stimulant fat burners/cortisol blockers for women?

Is Lipotrophin-PM good?

Hydroxycut seems to affect the live, or at least thats what the fda are reporting, if she has anemia, then perhaps, echinacia mega dosed because of its epo like effects, or mollases, and a non stim probably like uk said lean xtreme or a powerful green tea thermogenic, im guessing her blood pressure will be low, so lean xtreme wich contains forskholi wouldnt be a good idea, as it can effect blood pressure, lowering it or raising it.
Green tea, and a healthy diet with plenty of greens.

non-stim fat burner? DCP all the way

Agreed

[emm290]

I just signed up for this forum & i'm kind of confused about it, I've never used fat burners or supplements but two years ago I dropped about 20 pounds and most of it came back. I'm very severely anemic but not on any medication for it right now. Does the DCP have cortisol blockers in it?

[emm290]

& I just went on the website and there are sooo many. Is the Lean Xtreme one good?

[Dyou]

Lean Xtreme is verry popular, and is the only cort i have experience with. I would recommend it

[Dyou]

also, if its just belly fat look into something like napalm. i know that it probably just sqeezes the water out of your skin but it does shrink your midsection while your on it and that could be the motivation you need to keep going

Agreed ^^^ Also, Reduce XT by SNS is excellent as a general anticortisol.

First things first, welcome it's nice to have you here.

Secondly, DCP does not contain an anti-cortisol.

It's a very effective thermogenic compound with no stimulants and would stack well with another anti-cortisol such as Reduce XT, Lean Xtreme or a transdermal anti-cortisol such as Suppress C by Competitive Edge Labs.

If you gained back all that weight back perhaps your diet wasn't quite on point? or was it to do with personal sickness?

Hope this helps, feel free to ask questions.

It does help, thank you :] do you think Lean Xtreme or Lipotrophin PM would be a better choice, just in general?

It does help, thank you :] do you think Lean Xtreme or Lipotrophin PM would be a better choice, just in general?

I personally think Lipotrophin PM is the better product of the two, simply because it has a number of different different ingredients all with different roles in fat-burning:

Green Tea - Thermogenic compound, boosting your metabolism (through the thyroid hormone T4)
Mucuna Pruriens - Increase secretion of growth hormone (potent fat burner), helps control blood glucose, supports healthy hormone balance and acts as an aphrodisiac
Bacopa Monniera - Potent Antioxidant and nootropic
Banaba Extract (Corosolic Acid) - Powerful nutrient partitioner, helps control blood glucose by increasing muscle tissue and reducing fat tissue uptake.

The two would stack together well though if you decided to purchase both, keeping cortisol at bay.

There's a great FAQ on Lipotrophin PM in the Applied Nutraceuticals Forum:

I guess Hydroxycut is off the list of contenders.
