    Thanks to everyone who posted a comment / question on Part 1 – I appreciate the feedback and as promised, here are #2 and #3.

    Doctor Wong’s Supplement Secret #2 – Cheap and Easy Fat Burning ‘Supplement’

    This one is super easy – all you’ve gotta do is drink a cup of coffee (250-300 ml) about an hour before your workout.

    cup_of_coffeeIf it’s drip coffee, a cup has about 150-200 mg of caffeine, which is right around the amount that you want to increase fat burning.

    Caffeine helps to burn fat by triggering your body to release more fat from cells for energy use, and it also ramps your nervous system up a bit, which can help you train harder.

    Unfortunately, if you’re a coffee addict, you’re going to be desensitized to the caffeine, so it’s a good reason for you to get your habit under control.

    Seriously – lots of guys are addicted to coffee and miss out on its fat burning properties because of it.

    So if you’re drinking more than a cup in the morning, try to cut it down, and learn how to drink it black, as the sugar and cream aren’t doing you any good.

    One thing to note is that if you’re training in the evening at 5pm or after, you may want to avoid this tip, as the caffeine might keep you up, which will hamper your recovery if you can’t sleep.

    But if you know you can sleep no prob, then go for it.

    Compare the price of a cup of home-brewed coffee to a fat burning supplement like Hydroxycut and you’ll quickly save mucho dineros.

    On to #3…
