The Cheap Fat Burner Stack If you're on a budget – and who isn't in this economy? – then buying a pre-made supplement stack may be outside of your wallet size. These three fat burners are not only effective, but cheap. In fact, the first two ingredients are so effective that they are found in almost every fat burner on the market.
Supplement
Dose
Green Tea Extract
500-1000 mg 3 x daily before meals
Caffeine
100-300 mg in the morning; 1 hour before workouts
Capsaicin
40,000 – 80,000 Scoville thermal units three times a day
The Build-Muscle, Drop-Fat Stack This stack helps you maximize muscle growth and fat loss by boosting fat loss while simultaneously increasing testosterone and its functions in the muscle. For example, carnitine not only shuttles fat into the area of cells where it is burned, it increases the amount of testosterone receptors in muscle cells. Yohimbine not only burns fat but it boosts testosterone levels, as does forskolin.
Supplement
Dose
Carnitine
1-3 g with breakfast; pre workout meals; post workout meals; nighttime meals
Yohimbine
2-10 mg three times a day; one dose 30 min. before workouts
Forskolin
20-50 mg of forskolin 2-3 times daily before meals
A Feel for Fat Burning Stack This stack will not only melt the fat off, it will help you feel less hungry, feel less moody, and feel full of energy while dieting for the next 30 days.
Supplement
Dose
Beta-phenylethylamine
100-500 mg 1-2 times daily
Synephrine
200-600 mg of citrus aurantium standardized for 5-20 mg of synephrine, 2-3 times per day before meals
Caffeine
100-300 mg in the morning; 1 hour before workouts
Aminos That Burn Fat Stack These three aminos don't just build muscle, they burn fat too. For example, arginine boosts nitric oxide (NO) levels, which increases the release of fat from fat cells. Glutamine has been found to boost metabolic rate and the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), particularly leucine, have been found to enhance fat loss.
Supplement
Dose
Arginine
3-5 grams of 30-60 minutes before breakfast; 30-60 minutes before workouts; 30-60 minutes before bed.
Glutamine
5-10 with breakfast; with pre and postworkout meals; before bed
BCAAs
5-10 with breakfast; with pre and postworkout meals; before bed
Minerals That Munch Fat Stack Most guys only think of minerals as something in their multivitamin/mineral supplement that they know they should take for health purposes. Yet several minerals are critical for helping you get and stay lean. For example, getting adequate calcium keeps a hormone that aids fat gain at bay. Selenium keeps thyroid hormone production up and zinc keeps metabolic rate high. Getting ample amounts of these three will do the trick.
Supplement
Dose
Calcium
500-600 mg twice per day with meals
Selenium
200-400 mcg per day with meals
ZMA
Provides 30 mg zinc – take on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before bed
Fats That Fry Fat Stack Twenty years ago, every nutritionist and doctor were stressing the importance of a low-fat diet void of all kinds of fat, even the healthy ones. So it may seem paradoxical to suggest that taking fats can help you drop fat. Yet these three – fish oil, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) will do just that.
