{{stub}} '''Fat burners''' are supplements intended to help a person lose weight or maintain an existing weight. A review by Jeukendrup (2011) found fat burners typically made claims like: * increasing fat [[metabolism]] * increasing [[energy]] expenditure * impairing fat absorption * increasing [[weight loss]] * increasing fat oxidation during [[exercise]], or * somehow promote changes that increase fat metabolism.<ref name=review2011>{{Cite journal | last = Jeukendrup | first = A.

This is not the same as giving a feeling of energy - so-called ''fat burners'' supplements increase the body's requirements for energy. ==Clinicians== ==Risks and safety== ==Costs and availability== Typically sold over the counter, or on the internet. ==See also== *[[Healthy, balanced diet]] *[[Weight gain]] *[[Metabolism]] *[[Caffeine]] *[[:Category:Diets|Diets (category)]] ==Learn more== * ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Potential treatments]] [[Category:Supplements]]
