Many Fat Burning Furnace scams require the purchase of expensive supplements. While certain foods can definitely help burn fat naturally, taking a supplement that promises to boost your metabolism doesn't work. These supplements are sold at specialty health food stores, drug stores and even big box retailers. These are usually powders or pills, and they often contain ingredients such as:

Chitosan: which is extracted from crustacean shells and is used commercially as a plant food and biopesticide. Chitosan promoters claim it 'binds' with fat so your body absorbs less lipids.

'Ephedra-Like' supplements. Ephedra itself is illegal in the U.S. An herb traditionally used to treat colds in Chinese medicine it was very popular in the early 2000's. A dangerous stimulant linked to several deaths, it was banned in 2004. Due to Ephedra's popularity, other 'ephedra-like' supplements are now promoted including Bitter Orange; bitter orange is also based on Chinese medicine.
