For most people, dieting is something you do for 8 weeks every year as you get ready for a particular event.
It might be your yearly summer holiday, it could be a festival, or it could be that you just want to trim down for BBQ weather when you can finally wear shorts and a t-shirt outdoors.
But whether it’s a festival or a holiday, most people have the same experience – 2 months of misery, and very disappointing results at the end of it!
The simple truth is that very few people know how to diet properly.
When it comes down to it, they make the same basic mistakes every single year. They mistime their cut, they don’t plan their diet properly, and they over-train themselves into exhaustion.
This isn’t surprising – if the only time you ever think about training or dieting is once a year fr about 2 months, then you probably have no idea what you’re doing!
The mistakes people always seem to make include:
- Not calculating caloric intake properly
- Improperly calculating caloric expenditure
- Not setting a realistic caloric deficit
- Eating too much of foods they believe to be “healthy”
- Training too little
- Training too much
- Ignoring cardio
- Failing to utilize the right supplements
Luckily for you, it doesn’t have to be this way.
There are some really simple things you can do to make this summer’s cut a lot more successful and a lot less grueling.
By planing out your diet properly, taking the time to evaluate your actual caloric intake and expenditure, and by leaving yourself enough time, you can easily reach your target weight and physique in time for your festival or trip.
You don’t need to crash diet, and you don’t need dangerous diet pills.
You just need an intelligently planned training regime, a well designed diet, and some high quality, natural bodybuilding supplements.
At the end of the article is a list of some of the most popular fat burners in the UK right now. Obviously we rate some of these very highly, while others we don’t think very much of. Take a look at some of our reviews and see if any of these supplements fits your needs.
Popular UK Fat Burners
Instant Knockout Review – The Best Fat Burner In The World
Final Verdict Simply the best. There aren’t many fat burners on the market right now that even come close to Instant Knockout in terms of effectiveness, ingredients quality, or value for money. It should work well for anybody in need of extra help during a serious cut. Whether your biggest problems are appetite control, low…
BurnerTEK Fat Burner v2.0 Review – Good, But Not The Best
Final Verdict This isn’t a bad fat burner, all things considered. BurnerTEK v2.0 contains some excellent ingredients, the doses are pretty good in places, and it covers all of the most important bases – greater caloric expenditure, appetite control, blood sugar control, and energy levels. It is definitely an all-round fat burner. However, there…
Performance Lab SPORT Fat Burner Review – A Top Quality Supplement
Final Verdict Performance Lab produces some of the highest quality supplement we’ve ever seen. They may not be the most powerful, but they always contain a handful of effective ingredients in the most potent, pure form possible. Whenever we review a Performance Lab product, we always start with high expectations. SPORT Fat Burner doesn’t…
StripFast 5000 FIRE BULLETS Review – A Total Rip-Off Fat Burner!
Final Verdict StripFast 5000 FIRE BULLETS is a complete waste of money. This is a low strength, poor quality fat burner. There’s just no other way to put it. The FIRE BULLETS formula is absolutely dominated by two ingredients that do nothing – Citrus Aurantium and Raspberry Ketones. Neither of these substances actually work…
Grenade Thermo Detonator Review – The UK’s Favourite – But Why?!
Final Verdict Overall the weaknesses of this popular fat burner outweigh its strengths. The main problems are the use of bitter orange powder (which is totally ineffective for promoting fat loss), the lack of any appetite suppressant, and a minuscule serving of green coffee bean. The only real selling points are the good green…
MaxiNutrition Thermobol Review – A potent fat burner? Or another dud?
Final Verdict MaxiNutrition Thermobol just doesn’t cut it by today’s standards as far as far burners go. The formula is over reliant on an ineffective ingredient – Bitter Orange Peel. This stuff doesn’t encourage fat loss, and it doesn’t make dieting any easier. Yet it commands a significant portion of the Thermobol formula. Then…
Amour Nutrition Ultra Sculpt Review – Is It Any Good?
Final Verdict There are some highly effective natural fat burners in Amour Nutrition Ultra Sculpt. Taken together, these substances can definitely enhance fat loss, reduce appetite, and ultimately help you have a more successful cutting phase. But the Ultra Sculpt formula is deeply flawed. Some ingredients – potentially amazing fat burners – are dosed too…
Raw One THERMORAW Review – Does It Enhance Fat Loss?
Final Verdict Raw One have obviously tried to produce a good fat burner here, but unfortunately, they’ve failed. With THERMORAW focuses on all the wrong ingredients. The largest doses have been given to raspberry fruit extract, which is completely useless for fat loss, and African mango, which is like a substandard Glucomannan. We get small…
USN Phedra Cut Lipo XT Review – Does It Work?
Final Verdict We honestly expected a lot more from USN. Phedra Cut Lipo XT looks very similar to the kind of cheap, generic caffeine + theanine supplements you can buy from pretty much any vitamin or health food shop in the UK. It actually looks a lot like green tea in terms of its composition…
LeanMode Review – Is This Fat Burner Any Good?
Final Verdict LeadMode doesn’t have the most interesting formula for a professional-grade fat burner. But it does contains some excellent ingredients. We think anybody using LeanMode will have a far easier time shedding fat during their cut. That said, we think there are more complete, better quality fat burners on the market right now. LeanMode…
Reflex Thermo Fusion Review – Is It A Good Fat Burner?
Final Verdict Reflex Thermo Fusion is not a bad fat burner at all. It will probably give a lot of you some good results; you’ll see faster fat loss, higher energy levels, and better blood sugar control. However, it is far from the best fat burner we’ve ever reviewed. The formula has serous limitations. The…
Fitburner+ Review – Is This Fat Burner Legit?
Final Verdict Fitburner+ is a complete rip-off in our opinion. It contains a load of fruit powders that will have absolutely zero impact on your physique, your fat loss progress, or your training. Some people say that raspberry ketones burn fat, but they don’t (not that we even necessarily get these ketones here). The only…
PhD Lean Degree Review – Does It Enhance Fat Loss?
Final Verdict We think PhD Nutrition have really got the doses wrong here. Lean Degree provides too much caffeine, and the main ingredient – Biter Orange Peel – is totally unproven as a fat burner. Instead of these useless ingredients, PhD could have just dosed the Cayenne Pepper properly! There’s no appetite suppressant either. All-in-all,…
Iso Tone Review – Have ANS Made A Good Fat Burner?
Final Verdict Iso Tone looks like a complete rip-off to us. It is a proprietary blend with some pretty obvious filler ingredients in there. In our opinion, it is highly likely that Iso Tone is just 90% Sesame Seed Oil. Why else would ANS have included this ingredient; sesame seed oil might make your stir-fries…
Phen24 Review – Rip-Off Fat Burner Doesn’t Show Doses
Final Verdict Phen24 contains some excellent fat burning ingredients. There are plenty of positive Phen24 reviews out there too. But we can’t possibly recommend a fat burner to our readers when we don’t know the exact ingredient servings. There are some ingredients in Phen24 that don’t really contribute to greater fat loss, enhanced athletic performance,…
Turbo Cuts Review – A Lackluster Fat Burner From Pure Labs
Final Verdict There’s nothing special about Pure Labs Turbo Cuts. It is a weak, low quality fat burner offering mediocre ingredients and standard serving sizes. Some of the ingredients in Turbo Cuts don’t have a lot of scientific proof backing them up. Most of the benefits will come from the Tyrosine and Caffeine. Together, these…
Zantrim Review – Is This Popular Fat Burner Legit?
Final Verdict Zantrim is not a bad fat burner. But it is also far from perfect. It contains a large amount of caffeine which cannot be broken down into smaller doses throughout the day (1 serving = 1 capsule). We do get a decent dose of green coffee bean extract, which helps with blood sugar…
Burn TS Review – A Very Low Quality Fat Burner
Final Verdict We’re far from impressed with Burn TS. This is a low quality fat burner. Burn TS is just a small serving of green tea and a little caffeine coupled with some useless herbs. That’s it. It is essentially just a glorified cup of caffeinated green tea! We don’t think you are going to…
XLS Medical Max Strength Review: Does It Really Work?
Final Verdict XLS Medical Max Strength is a complete waste of money in our opinion. For starters, the manufacturer only tells us the name of the proprietary blend on the box – they don’t even disclose ingredients. We hate proprietary blends at the best of times, and they usually tell us ingredients. After doing some…
X Tone Thermoburn Review: The UK’s Budget Fat Burner?
Final Verdict This is a cheap, low quality, cheap fat burner. Honestly, what do you expect from Home Bargains? If you’re buying fat burners from one of the cheapest supermarkets in the UK, then you’re not going to be getting high quality supplements – you’re going to be getting X Tone Thermoburn. The problems with…
