    Become a member to remove this ad.
    i work out and run atleast 4 times a week (minimum 1.5 hrs each time) and am not losing weight. i dont eat poorly, but im not a super healhy eater either. i am not losing weight anymore (just a couple of weeks ago i was dropping steadily). im so frustrated and am thinking of turning to fat burners.
    anyone used them before? what do u suggest?
    Thanks

    They don't work, and they are hard on your heart and thyroid.
    I would suggest switching things up to confuse your body. If you normally do 1.5 hrs of long and slow, switch out two of those days for speed and/or hill work.
    Are you running on a track? Treadmill? Trail or around town?

    Ok, so switch it up to hill intervals a couple of times a week. Your body has just gotten used to what you are currently doing.

    Also, clean up the bad things in your diet and reduce your calories by about 250/day and you'll see results.

    First, you need to check with a doctor for thyroid disorder. The next thing I would suggest is to switch cardio for anaerobic exercise, and do it just 3 times a week. Also:

    - Eat more and more often (every 3 hours)
    - Eat the same amount of carbs, fat and protein (good ones)
    - Exercise 2% of your time and work bigger muscles
    - Avoid sugar completely, you can replace it if you like sweets
    - Do power walking within your exercise routine
    - Calculate your RMR *Removed outbound link*
    - Don't ever cut calories more than 20% of your RMR
    - Watch your body fat percentage instead of your weight

    You can do it!
