Thermogenics Effect:
As per discussed yesterday, even thermogenics have a side effect if you take it for a long period.But first let see what mostly use as the ingredient for thermogenics supplement and their
property:
1) Theobroma Cacao Extract:
an effective thermogenic and antioxidant, which leaves you with a feel-good chocolate euphoria.
2) Caffeine:
Derived from Yerba Maté Green Tea and green coffee extract which raise the levels of adrenaline, increase concentration and focus, and gives additional energy. Yerba Maté improves mood and concentration, reduces anxiety, prevents mental fatigue, and prolongs thermogenesis.
3) Grapefruit extract (naringin):
enhances heat resistance in the body, giving the other active ingredients a longer working time.
4) Green teas:
have high concentrations of catechins, which “enhance exercise-induced loss of abdominal fat and improve circulating FFA and TG levels” – The Journal of Nutrition.
5) Capsicum Extract:
promotes fat loss by stimulating the production of catechol amines improving glucogenolysis and lipolysis needed for fat loss. It increases resting metabolic rate, and helps burn calories long after a workout.
6) Yohimbine:
impacts on post-exercise fat metabolism.
My case:
In my case, i consumed thermogenics for 2 weeks already.I did feel extra energy boast and can focus more during my workout.However, recently i feel my appetite is become lesser than last time.2 weeks ago i can eat the whole 200g chicken effortless.
This few days, it take me almost 10min just to finish the same serving.I felt my body feel lighter and happy. Becouse im a type of curious guy and always throw a questions to know my conditions i decide to discuss on this with M.Why?? becouse i know with all this high intensity workout which keep going everyday i must eat more and more.At same time i was thinking even my body begin to adapt to the training which mean i need to do more higher intensity workout in future, i still need to eat more and more to build up my body and recover the muscle.
After the discussion, M told me this is one of the side effect of taking the thermogenics which most people seek off and they don't realized it because they think its a good changes in term of their physical endurance.This make them keep taking it and in the end hang on it.So we change our plan, by next monday to prove this is true, i will stop taking the thermogenics for another 1 week.
Here's i list down few others side effects (eHow.com):
1) Suppressed Apetite
Feeling fuller for longer and a suppressed appetite!
2) Head
Thermogenics can cause headaches, either while taking them or after you've stopped taking them (due to caffeine withdrawal). Flushed cheeks and facial sweating are also common with
thermogenics. A more serious side effect is the possibility of stroke.
3) Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular side effects specific to thermogenics include heart palpitations, fluttering,
irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, and more seriously, heart attack.
4) Immune
Thermogenics can impair immune system function. Disrupting sleep patterns or causing insomnia, both of which impair immune function, is one way. Lack of sleep can also elevate cortisol levels, which further stress the adrenal and immune systems.lls.
5) Emotional
Thermogenics can affect the mood and mental health of the user as well. Manic feelings of
euphoria are sometimes reported with stronger thermogenic compounds,
