TOP 6 SUPPLEMENTS TO GET LEAN!
BY FITNESS GODFATHER.
Before I start this list I would like to mention supplements will only help you lose weight or get in shape by adding them into a good nutritional plan along with exercise.
Here is the list:
No. 1 – WHEY PROTEIN.
Protein is essential for losing fat in my opinion as too much consumption of bad carbs and fats even good carbs and fats can hinder your progress. Whey protein is ideal after a workout because it digests quicker than other protein sources and can be a welcome change from eating another meal when you are in a rush. Whey isolate is the best protein in my opinion as it is higher quality and usually these products have less filler ingredients.
Godfather tip - Take whey protein isolate with a 20-30 grams of simple carbs after lifting weights or just whey protein after cardio and try mixing one scoop of whey into oatmeal for breakfast.
No. 2 – ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS.
Believe it or not consuming the right amount of healthy fats can aid weight loss especially if combined with a lower intake of bad fats.
Godfather tip - have 1 omega 3-6-9 gels or tablets or liquid three times daily during meals to keep your hormones balanced.
No. 3 – GREEN TEA.
Out of all the expensive fat burners you can buy on the market with worthless ingredients and ridiculous claims the funny fact is most of them have green tea extract as a main ingredient – such a cheap ingredient as well. The other ingredients apart from caffeine either have side-effects such as bitter-orange peel which is “Synephrine” or ehphedra or mao-haung have bad side effects. Similarly yohimbe has been linked to serious side effects such as nervous system and cardiovascular problems – stay away from all of these products or products which have these as ingredients.
Godfather tip - keep your metabolism high whilst training by taking 1-2 green tea extract tablets 30-40 minutes before working out or with high carb meals to help burn fat.
No. 4 – CAFFEINE.
(Warning) – this product is very powerful – so underrated in the supplement industry. Most pre-workouts contain caffeine but supplement makers claim other substances, which can give them more profit, are more effective which is wrong. Caffeine can make you more focused – lift more intensely and give you lots of energy.
Godfather tip - do not take too much caffeine – take 1 -2 pills before working out during they day or one pill if you train later in the day.
No. 5 – GLUTAMINE.
I do not take glutamine as it is already in my whey protein shake. Simple reason as to why it helps weight loss – it prevents your body from breaking down muscle as fast which means your body can use your body fat for an energy source. Godfather tip - take 5 grams of glutamine when you wake, before and after you exercise and last thing at night to avoid muscle catabolism when calorie deficient.
No. 6 – PRE-WORKOUT FORMULAS.
I recommend these only to those who are very serious about getting lean. Again consult your doctor there are definitely side effects and should not be abused or taken without permission of doctor. Good pre-workout products have caffeine and a good creatine product. I have only tried a few – I got side effects from no-xplode and super-pump 250 I liked the least.
Godfather tip - try jack-3d before training with weights to stay focused, lift heavier, train harder and burn more calories. Stop taking the product if you notice side-effects.
In conclusion, I think all of these supplements are the best for fat loss – but if you choose a good whey protein isolate power, essential fatty acids and maybe green tea and combine these supplements with a very good nutritional plan you will see good results! Remember to consult a doctor before using them!
