can you recommend something that allows one to burn fat and gain muscle?
if in doubt, gain muscle has precedence over losing fat.

No supplement is going to do that for you without a proper calculated diet.
Dark_Ansem said:proper=high on protein and low on carbs/fat?
I already take high protein, but I tend to keep low on fat if I can, medium carbs. and yes, I train 3 days per week. except this week and the next one, as gym will be closed.
fat requirements?Nothing wrong with carbs but definitely get your fat requirements.
fat requirements?
I take 2g of fish oil at breakfast
Start at 0.5g fat/lb BW

it's not difficult to lose weight if there is a lot of excess. matter is when one is somewhat near the goal where everything slows down.Best advice on here is the advice of a caloric diet,proper training,cardio and the right foods...supps wont do it for u,so pay attention before u start blowing away your hard earned money...Certain supps MAY assist in the aiding of fat loss,as long as your diet is spot on. So do proper investigating of the supp of intetest and its benefits.
At one point in my life i stopped training for yrs and well got very over weight...i lost about 70 lbs in just about 8-9 months and didnt use one supp,only whey protein..Food and cardio and weigt training..Though i had expierince as i always had trained and dieted in general,so i knew what was needed to lose weight.But ,an hour of cardio atleast 4-5 days a week,weight lifting ,low carbs,pleny of greens and protein and some good fats...and u can lose all that u want.Like i said i didnt use a single supplement unless u count a multi,fish oil,flax oil and whey as a supp.
Best of Luck

but gaining muscle is downright impossible for me!
This may be the problem, not enough fat in the diet to go along with the protein. just go higher on the fat, lower on the carbs, and stay high on the protein for a month or more and see if it helps any.

Trans fat is the enemy. We need the rest.

Yes being a newbie to weight training and proper eating around the clock WILL elicit a new stimulus which will allow you to accrue muscle and drop fat. As you get more advanced HORMONE manipulation will be the key here....
Invalid Link Removed would easily help but maybe you arent exhausting all avenues yet (not that AL is hardcore but hormones are hormones...)

I fear they're outlawed here.Try orbitnutrition -- i think he ships worldwide

link please.A nutrient parititioner like na-rala to offset fat gain by shuttling nutrients to their appropriate locations and tt33 to increase your metabolic rate as well as increase protein synthesis will be most valuable to you IMO.

I am talking about +20% cal of your maintenance calories on workout days -20% on your rest days. If you lift 3x a week that is. You need to carb cycle and take low carb on off days. But you need to be able to count calories, macros, plug them in and use precise numbers until you see what fits. You still need a caloric deficit each week but a small one, with enough cals / carbs to pust on some muscle mass on your training days without the fat.
This is very tough to do, you need to know your body inside and out.

Yeah, that's pretty hard to do, man. If you are looking to gain muscle, then you should look into our products of IGF-2 and Drive. Both of them have some great reviews.
