#1 Fat Loss Supplements
anything that speeds up your heart rate and promises to help you burn fat should be avoided. fat burners are not only dangerous for your health, but once you stop taking them your metabolism slows down.
#2 Pre-workout Supplements
Most pre-workout supplements are filled with way too much caffeine that results in an unwanted cortisol release, making your body burn muscle and store fat. All you need before a workout, especially if you exercise in the morning, is a cup of coffee or some carnitine which is completely natural and has no known side effects.
#3 Testosterone Boosters
T-boosters are just another scam. You don't need them. There are natural ways to boost testosterone production. The secret stays in eating the right kind of foods and performing the right kind of exercises, among which the squat is the king. Reducing stress, limiting sugar intake, consuming healthy fats, getting enough sleep, limiting alcohol intake, eating plenty of cruciferous veggies, limiting the duration of your training sessions, not restricting the calories too much and limiting your exposure to environmental estrogens are all steps that should be taken into consideration before you waste your money on just another marketing hype.
And remember, macros come before the micros. If you nutrition is on point 90% of the time, you shouldn't worry too much about supplementing, especially if you are not and advanced trainer.
