Anyone got any feedback on Thermadrol? I found it after researching Green Tea Extract. Its supposed to be all-natural and has 21 ingredients designed to increase metabolism, etc.

All thermogenics are designed to do one thing: make your metabolism a little less efficient such that you burn more calories. Think of calories as gasoline and your body as the engine. What you're doing with a thermogenic is you're decreasing your gas mileage. You're making your body's energy use less efficient. Every single thermogenic on the market probably does this to some degree.

But... different thermogenics have different formulas and base ingredients. They work to varying degrees for different people because they're all based on slightly different incarnations of the same basic principle. In the end, they're not going to be the "make or break" difference in your weight management program.

Bottom line is to try a few consistently for an appreciable amount of time and see if it works for you. Tracking your body's changes will help tell this tale. But don't count on it to be the epiphany that gets you where you want to go - your nutrition plan will dictate that, not some miracle pill from a bottle.

I just checked out there web site... it's $30 for 120 pills. You take 3 after breakfast and 3 later in the day. So at 6 pills per day, 120 pills will last you 20 days. $30 for 20 days supply is steep if you ask me ($1.50 a day). That's about $45 a month for the stuff. It ain't worth it.

Agreed. Financially, it doesn't come out. GTE is $12 for a 1+ month supply at my local health store... and I sweat like crazy if I take it 30 minutes before cardio in the morning.

I sweat like crazy during cardio right now without using what I would call a "cheat". I am a big fan of clean eating and doing things naturally. I don't like to try to cheat and make my progress faster by putting that stuff in my body. If I come home after an hour of moderate cardio with my entire shirt soaked in sweat, does this mean that I would actually be in danger of heat stroke or at least cramps if I used something that artificially raised my body temperature? No thanks. I say do it the slow, natural way. Impatience is for people who are not in it for long term results. This is of course my opinion, so take it with a bag or two of salt.

Keep your salt. I prefer low-sodium...

GTE is thermogenic, yes. That is not its only property - look it up... its positive effects reach far beyond simple sweating and burning calories.

I don't believe in the pills that are purely sold as thermos - Tight, Xenadrine, Hydroxycut, etc. GTE is worth the while, and inexpensive to boot.

Noted... by GTE do you mean Green Tea Extract?

Doh. Yeah, sorry. GTE = Green Tea Extract.

I agree that some pill is not going to make or break your goals. Dietary and exercise habits that will last a lifetime far exceed some pill, but thermogenics help some of us control our appetites, GTE does the same thing for me. I don't consider it cheating, I just consider it to be a little help, I sweat like nobody's business anyway. I don't need a thermogenic, all it takes is a good couple of miles on the treadmill, and I am not even sure I have to go that far. :D
