These supplements will give you the edge you need to torch fat and look your best.

When it comes to shedding body fat, a clean diet and intense cardio are the main tools for the task. But to get the most from your efforts, the right supplements can go a long way to giving you an edge. Here, we present a group of fat-burning supplements that will help you get the fat loss you seek while feeling energized without the unwanted, uncomfortable sensations—jitters, nausea, and hunger pangs—that often come as a result of hard dieting.

To get the most from your program, consider supplementing with the following:

GREEN COFFEE HELPS PREVENT FAT STORAGE

The extract from green coffee (unroasted coffee beans) has exploded in the marketplace in recent years as one of the most effective fat burners. New research shows that green coffee’s success may be due in part to its ability to blunt the impact of glucose, helping to keep blood sugar in check so you don’t store calories as fat before you can burn them off as energy. In addition, green coffee helps pull fat from storage so you can burn it as energy.

RASPBERRY KETONES HELP BOOST METABOLIC RATE

Cutting calories helps you burn body fat, but boosting the number of calories you burn also helps accomplish this goal. Raspberry ketones naturally boost your capacity to burn body fat by raising your metabolic rate. Raspberry ketones work in a way similar to synephrine. In addition, raspberry ketones reduce your appetite and encourage your body to release stored body fat to supply energy.

CAFFEINE AND YOHIMBINE PULL FAT FROM STORAGE SO YOU CAN USE IT TO FUEL YOUR WORKOUTS

Taking supplemental caffeine gives you an immediate surge of energy that makes you feel better while you cut calorie intake. It also encourages your body to move stored fat out of cells so you can use it to fuel activity. Caffeine improves your workouts, helping to make you stronger and blunt the inevitable soreness from intense training sessions.

GET IT TOGETHER

Each of these supplements on its own has been proven to help fat loss, yet Hydroxycut SX-7 from MuscleTech, available exclusively at GNC, combines all of these ingredients. The product’s unique combination not only helps pull stored fat into your bloodstream while boosting metabolic rate, but it also helps you feel better while you’re dieting. Follow dosing recommendations on the label to assess your tolerance.

5 reasons why you don't have a six-pack

01:11

MF highlights the 5 most common mistakes preventing people from seeing their abs

Mistake one: Ignoring the importance of compound exercises

If you only concentrate your abs workout on performing isolation exercises you’re missing a trick. Compound movements such as squats, deadlifts and overhead presses will engage your entire core, strengthening your abs from all angles. Don’t leave them out of your training program.

Mistake two: Having an entire workout just for your abs

Don’t make the mistake of feeling as though you need to waste an entire session at the gym just on your abs. 15 minutes is all you need. If you are already taking the above advice and doing compound exercises in your workout then you only really need one or two different abs exercises for maybe 2-3 sets at the end of each workout.

Mistake three: Thinking that crunches are the be-all and end-all of abs exercises

This is a common mistake. A lot of people seeking out a six-pack tend to think that they can just crunch one out. No other exercises, just crunches. Not true. There are a plethora of exercises that are actually just as effective, if not more effective than the overused crunch. The dumbbell led abs moves outlined above target more of the muscles in that area than the crunch so change it up and inject some life into your six-pack workout.

Mistake four: Forgetting about your lower back

Often when people train their core they only think of it as the front and the side, but the core has a back too. The lower back muscles often suffer from neglect, a cardinal sin amongst many a six-pack seeker. If you want your core to be strong, treat your lower back just as you would your abs. It might not get you as much female attention but it’s important to train it hard for muscle balance and core strength.

Mistake five: Trying to out-crunch your diet

No, doing 100 crunches a day will not burn off that kebab so stop wasting your time. The secret to visible abs isn’t how many crunches you can do but how low your body fat percentage is. You won’t burn off that excess fat by doing endless crunches, you can train your abs all you want but no one will ever see them if you don’t have your diet in check. Amalgamating cardio workouts, abs exercises and a strict diet is the golden triangle to six-pack

Get freakin’ huge with (more) of the right food and supps at the right times to drastically accelerate muscle growth.
