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.[1]
