Thermobol and weight loss

Has anyone tried Thermobol from Maximuscle? I've read a lot about it and I'm considering it...

I'm 5'5'' (165cm) and weigh 14st (88kg). I'm doing cardio twice or three times a week and weights twice or three times a week. I've also tried to keep a healthy, low fat diet with less than 2500 calories per day.

Any thoughts or recommendations?
 
Looking at the ingredients its basically spices, caffeine and green tea.

Any supplement or pill should always play 2nd fiddle to a clean diet and focused training program as it wont do anything if those aren't on track.

If you want to list what you are doing IN DETAIL then we could provide some advice on the situation.
 
My excercise:

Monday: 30-60 mins cycling

Tuesday: Upper body workout with bicep curl, shoulder press, press ups, triceps extension, dumbbell rows and ab crunches, all 3 x 15 reps

Wednesday: 20 mins fitness bike + 10 mins rower + 20 mins crosstrainer

Thursday: Lower body workout with dumbbell deadlifts, dumbbell squats, dumbbell lunges and assorted weight-free workout moves, usually 2 or 3 times 15 reps

Friday: Either 30-60mins cycling or 20mins fitness bike + 10 mins rower + 20 mins crosstrainer

Saturday: Full body workout, with leg presses, lat pulldown, pectoral fly, abs, shoulder press and depending on time, other things (this is the only day I get to do the workout at the gym)


My diet:

Breakfast: either high-fibre cereal with skimmed milk or a bowl of porrigde

Mid-morning snack: low fat yoghurt or cereal bar with dried fruit

Lunch: either cereal again or a wholewheat sandwich with ham, cheese and tomato

Afternoon snack: low fat yoghurt bar and fresh fruit (orange or banana usually)

Dinner: either chicken, fish or beef with brown rice or wholewheat pasta and fresh/steamed/boiled vegetables (sometimes I end up having a small cupcake or chocolate bar for dessert)


Admittedly, I haven't been doing this too long yet, about a month now, but the weight just isn't coming off. I do feel slightly smaller, I think my stomach has gone down in size just a bit, and my wife says my back looks less fatty and more muscular. But I feel that I'm not really going anywhere...

But to be fair, I was quite flabby when I started, so maybe I should just have patience?

SOunds to me like you may be getting weight and bodyfat confused. Quite a common mistake actually. As you are training with weights, you are increasing muscle mass which weighs more than fat so, it may be that your body composition has changed but, your weight has remained the same.

The mirror and comments from your wife are a much more accurate measure of your progress than a set of scales so, I would certainly rely on what you see and hear. From what you say, you have made good progress in your first month but, remember, Rome wasn't built in a day - you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned patience. Stick with it.

As for thermobol, I agree with theleip, doesn't look like there is any miracle ingredients in there. There are no 'quick-fixes' I'm afraid.

Have you worked out your calorie intake and, are you at a healthy deficit?

Best of luck, it sounds like you're on the right track :)
 
Thanks, I decided against using any fat loss products in the end.

Instead, I've modified my workout to include proper squats and bench presses, lifting harder and taking protein supplements.

I've lost only 9lbs in weight, but I have put on a lot of muscle in the last month, so the actual fat loss seems to be going ok. I look a lot thinner, I feel a lot stronger and my clothes fit better!

Manipulation of calories has the strongest potential of increasing metabolism. Look no further than the almighty, all knowing, all powerful, calorie to burn the fat off of you, and of course.........hard work, dedicition, determination, and heart................

What are your specific goals, young man..........Let me give you a lending hand in the goals you seek.........dont look for it in the bottle......the medicine bottle is between your shoulders...lets sqeeze it....and make the juices flow, my brotha!..........


Lets rock.........what are your goals.......what do you know about configuring your calories that you need.........
