Supplements Don't Have Effect on Calorie-burning


Chromium and ginseng are recommended by some salespeople and magazine articles, but research has shown that they have no effect on calorie-burning rate. Neither does ephedra (also called ma huang), despite its stimulant, caffeine-like effect. In addition, this product has been linked to serious health risks. Metabolic rate seems to be partly inherited, but is decreased by overzealous dieting and as a result of some eating disorders.

Keep your calorie-burning rate at its natural level by staying physically active (ideally, including some form of strength training) to maintain muscle tissue, and by eating a balanced diet that meets the body's nutritional needs. If you do this, and eat according to body hunger signals for how much you need, your weight should stay at a healthy level regardless of exactly how fast you're burning calories.
