The Get Ripped Recipe

With the help of a few well chosen fat-blasting supplements you could get even more ripped than you thought.

Green Tea Extract
Green tea’s active polyphenol compound, known as epigallocatechin gallate, works by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter involved in regulating metabolic rate and fat burning. Take 250-500 milligrams of green tea extract standardised for EGCG per dose, 2-3 times per day before meals.

Caffeine
Caffeine aids fat loss by binding to fat cells to enhance the removal of fat and inhibit its storage. It also facilitates the burning of extra fat during exercise. Take 100 – 300 mg per dose, 2-3 times per day before meals.

Carnitine
Carnitine works to enhance fat burning by helping to carry fat into the mitochondria of cells, like those in muscle, where it is burned for fuel. Take 1- 3 g per dose, with breakfast, before workouts, immediately after workouts and with your bedtime snack.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
CLA is a healthy fat that fights body fat by inhibiting the fat-storing enzyme lipoprotein lipase. LPL is found in fat cells, where it functions to pick up circulating fat and store it. By inhibiting LPL, CLA prevents the storage of fat and encourages the burning of fat as fuel. Studies show that CLA leads to greater fat loss and muscle gain in subjects as compared to those taking a placebo. Take 2 g per dose, with breakfast, lunch and your night-time snack.

Fish Oil
Fish Oil contains the essential omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid which are known for a plethora of health benefits. EHA and DHA are also beneficial for burning body fat. One of the main mechanisms by which omega-3 fatty acids work to reduce body fat is through their conversion to beneficial prostaglandins (hormone-like substances that can promote thermogenesis). Take 1-2 g per dose with breakfast lunch and dinner.
