RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Many people use fat burners like Hydroxycut/Lipo-6/etc. as a quick fix to burn body fat. Truth is, they aren't as effective as they claim to be & the artificial stimulants in them can harm you. On Friday May 1, 2009, the U.S. FDA banned Hydroxycut due to it being linked to one death & because it causes an irregular heartbeat/liver failure. There's no substitute for proper exercise & nutrition!
