Fat burner capsules are not recommended. They do not burn fat directly and most of them contain high stimulants that can cause side effects like increased heart rate, acidity, poor sleep and hormonal imbalance. Since you have already started working out regularly, your weight will reduce safely without these capsules. Focus on proper diet, water intake and consistent exercise. For a safer and personalised weight-loss plan, please consult me for a better solution.

Along with exercise you need to also focus on having a balanced diet as as it plays an important role in your weight management journey. Regarding fat burner capsules, it’s important to know that they do not directly burn fat. Most contain stimulants like caffeine, green tea extract, or other herbal ingredients that may slightly increase metabolism, but the effect is minimal and often temporary.
More importantly, fat burners can cause side effects such as increased heart rate, anxiety, acidity, sleep disturbances, and BP fluctuations.
What will help you more than fat burners:
- Include complex carbohydrates which will help maintain steady energy levels and promote satiety.
- High-protein meals will help improve metabolism and reduce cravings.
- Consume more fruits and vegetables for adequate fiber intake which will help in weight management.
- Practice strength training + cardio at least 4–5 days/week.
- Cut down refined sugar, fried foods, packaged snacks.
- 7–8 hours quality sleep will lead to better fat loss.
- Stay hydrated through the day.

Hi.. Fat burner supplements are only effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Relying on them alone will not lead to sustainable or healthy weight loss, and they come with potential risks and side effects such as high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and insomnia.
