    May fat burners promise many things that are not real, and the mistake is that we believe in all those things, when we should understand that there are many true fat burners in front of our noses that are healthy and improve the body too, think bigger and start relying in the nature more than anything!

    Are there really any foods that actually “burn” calories or fat? I feel that’s kind of misleading, because almost all foods have some sort of caloric value. I’ve heard that celery actually takes more energy to chew and digest than it actually brings in. I’m sure the science does help understand some of the more minute details of food, but just eating a fresh, unprocessed, unrefined diet plus exercise should be enough to stay “healthy”
