Fat Burners
Fat burners have been the victim of bad press for many years due to the vast amount of supplements released that don't even raise an eyebrow let alone burn bodyfat. Placebo products, low grade stimulants or just plain ole ingredients that don't work are what's putting fat burners down.
Over the years there's been a lot of big developments and changes in the fat burning industry. At Factorysupplements.co.uk we've taken the liberty of only keeping in stock the verybest fat burners. Fat burners that we know will get the job done, effective for both men and women
Getting to know what's best for you?
Firstly before even dipping into the world of fat burners it may be of use for you to know there are several different variants of Fat burners.
- Thermogenic fat burners* are designed to increase your bodies core temperature, through a a process called Thermogenesis (hence the name) these are the most effective of fat burners since they also suppress appetite and give you a boost in energy. Allowing you to control your cravings whilst still giving you enough boost to perform your daily activities.

*Thermogenic fat burners are made using stimulants, if you suffer with any heart abnormalities, thyroid issues or anything of the sort you should contact your doctor or physician before taking any stimulant based products.
- Lipotropic Fat Burners help with the breakdown of all the fats you consume. With an improved digestion of fats, your body can process them more efficiently. These are mild in nature, but serve their purpose. PNI CLA is the most popular of our lipotropic fat burners, 3g daily is the recommended dose, which is 3 capsules split evenly throughout the day.
- Carbohydrate Blockers contain ingredients designed to prevent the intestines from digesting sugars, they will help regulate blood sugar levels and help control sugar cravings. These are ideal for those whose main dietary fall will be giving into sweet foods. Minerals such as Chromium have a proven track record of helping to alleviate sugar cravings, and is found in many fat burning formulas for that reason. USN Xedra Cut Stimulant Free is one of those such products, with generous helpings of Green tea, L-carnitine and phaeolous Vulgaris to further enhance the fat burning process.
- Appetite Suppressors do what they say. They do so by supplying your body with essential fatty acids and oils. This leads to a decreased feeling of hunger and as such helps you control eating habits. USN Appetite block was a great seller but has now sadly been discontinued
- Diuretics are not strictly fat burners. The property of diuretics is to rid the body of fluid, in doing so they provide an anti oxidant type effect. Diuretics will strip water weight from the body, in which at any point we could be storing 15lb+ and be none the wiser. MHP Xpel is our best seller, also having key points such as large amounts of potassium to prevent cramping up. A great pre-contest supplement.
Using Protein Powders as Meal Replacements
Using a protein powder as a meal replacement is something that should only really be done while dieting. But since this is a dieting article there isn't anything wrong with getting it in here. After all, protein powders are low calorie sources of good nutrition.
Even so practically everything you drink will only be going to recovery, yet they're filling and tasty. Ideal for getting that beach body. We don't support using a protein powder as a permanent replacement for a well balanced diet but we do for the short period of cutting. We recommend still getting in a well balanced breakfast, using the protein powder to replace lunch and still getting in a good meal for dinner.
So which ones are best for this?
1 - PHD Diet Whey Quite possibly the most delicious protein shake currently available. Made directly for those looking for fat loss, with added CLA and Green Tea to help you process fats better and get rid of bodily toxins.
2 - Reflex Peptide Fusion Chosen for it's filling effects. Reflex Peptide Fusion is a blend of several proteins, the Casein that is used in this product gives it a thicker texture than most other shakes. This makes it very filling whilst still being low in calories. A tasty treat, ideal for the job.
3 - BSN Syntha 6
OH WOW is all we can say to the taste of this. Long famous for it's absolutely incredible flavour, the best selling protein drink in the states in fact. Bsn Syntha 6 has been chosen because not only does it have an incredible taste, it has a great blend of protein and carbohydrates, just enough to fill you, not bloat you.
Protein Bars
Protein Bars are an ideal snack source for those looking to up the muscle, lose the fat and still enjoy it. The main advantage to protein bars is the majority of them are made with a type of carbohydrates call sugar alcohols. These are carbohydrates that can not be digested, and don't worry about the name, you won't get drunk eating them.
This means virtually every protein bar is low in sugary carbohydrates. The best ones we recommend for dieting are Promax Meal Diet Bars. These bars have extra CLA and Green Tea in the bars, this doesn't affect the flavour at all but helps your body digest fats and transport them around your body much easier, making weight loss more efficient.
Handy for on the go or at work, just pop a few of them in your bag. Don't become addicted though, those promax meal bars are tasty stuff.
Anti Oxidants
Anti oxidants are a very side line product when it comes to weightloss but they can still serve their purpose. Products like Acai Berry were and still are very popular amongst those looking for fat loss, they even featured on Oprah. Superfoods like Spirulina can ensure that you're getting in all the vitamins and minerals you need whilst easing back on the food you eat, and making sure that you have a healthy digestive track. Dandelion Root is a good natural Diuretic, helping you get rid of excess weight and water retention which will bring down the pounds and give a drier look, very popular amongst Boxers.
