Raspberry ketones

Still talking about weight loss , like I said this topic never seems to leave our girls talk . Raspberry ketones gain popularity in the recent years . In 2012, a rather popular TV talk show mentioned about it assisting in burning fat, and being from raspberry , everyone starts to relate it to antioxidant and probably good for the urinary tract , oh sorry , that was CRANberries .. WwwwOops 

Ended up after few years in the market and lost the popularity as it is really full of antioxidant properties , but very little known or proven to help in loosing fat . There were reported case of jerkiness , palpitation and increase in headache frequencies . So I guess it does what the prescription medication duromine does , except much milder . I suppose if you are looking for something to increase your metabolismn,  while you exercise to reduce weight , in the end loosing fat , this is not such a bad option . But just by taking it and expecting it to help you burn fat while u were sleeping I guess not .

Same goes for L-carnitine and safflower oil . The transporter brings out the fat from the stubborn layer into the blood stream and the other helps breaks down the fat into smaller molecule so that it is easier to be excreted by your body . But yet to be proven efficacy. Lots decided to hop on the bandwagon regardless of the evidence , and the pharmaceuticals company are making so much money from it . If things were that simple , there would not be any rich and fat people on the street , don't you think so ? 

There is no easy way out for weight loss , I believe no pain no gain and in this context money can't buy happiness ( as in your ideal body image - put aside surgery ) .
