- joeyspn 12y agoThis kind of stuff (thermogenics, metabolic accelerators, fat burners, etc) has been used for ages in the gyms in one form or another. Many of the so called "supplements" always regulate the thyroid... So I wouldn't consider this a big "breakthrough" for weight loss. The short path to weight loss has hidden dangers. Experts don't recommend losing more than 2 lbs/week. Surely you can lose more than that, but not as safely. The winning formula will always be: "Eat better, exercise more".
