Fat Burning Supplements?

Hi,

I am really curious if there are any supplements that I should be taking to maximize my results. I am looking to lose body fat (and weight of course) but also stay fit and tone.  I lift weights 4 days per week, do cardio 2 days per week, and cardio HIIT 2 days per week. I never do weights and cardio/HIIT during the same visit to the gym.  I also eat healthy and maintain a 400-500 calorie deficit per day.
 
I am seeing good results so far but it is SLOW.  I have lost weight on the scale and visually see more muscle and definition in the mirror.  Everywhere I read there are supplement suggestions to maximize results: Fat burners, caffeine, Thermogenesis, lipotropic substances… it is all confusing to me.  To be clear, I do not want to take diet pills, but do want to get the most bang for my buck.
 
Please, please, does anyone have any suggestions or advice on supplements for fat loss??

the ECA stack works, and it's not illegal.  Supplements containing Ephedrine were pulled, but it doesn't take much effort, once you know the dosages to create your own ECA stack, and IMO, it's worth the effort.   25mg of Ephedrine, 200mg of Caffine, and 326 mg of asprin, once a day to start, mid morning, earlier on an empty stomach is even better.  Be warned it'll get you jittery(imagine a moth on a light), but for me, it's always been well worth it.  Once I get a few more pounds off, and start hitting the weights hard, I'll be back on it. 

Any studies done on long-term side effects of doing this? And will it work without the ephedrine?

 It's pointless to do just caffine and asprin.  There's no synergism.   Some companies tout some other supplement combos that they claim as as good, but the reality is, they aren't.  As for long term studies, I did a 6 year study on myself, 3 years of college and 3 years after, and saw no ill effects.  I know that's not what you want, but honestly, I've never bothered to google it, beacuse most research is skewed toward whoever funds it, so it's usefulness is limited. 

it wont work the same as ephedra, ephadrine is used in meds and to make meth. there are better choices, with better science behind it

I didn't mean 6 years... I meant more like what happens to you when you're 80, if you took ephedra when you were 25.

 No, there are no long term 65 year studies...lmao.

 I've always seen simlar results.  Lucky me!!! 

Dihydrogen Monoxide should be banned, its also used to make meth! Did you know DHMO is the leading cause of global warming and the worst green house gas? That its found in pre-cancerus tumors? Accelerates the corrosion of most metals? Prolonged exposure to DHMO in its solid form causes severe tissue damage in humans... Yet we continue to consume food with this terrible ingrediant!

 It also causes million of dollars in property/structural damage in the US every year.  And direct exposure has been documented to cause death by suffocation.  Let's also not forget that consumption can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and mental breakdowns within 24 hours of consumption.

 On the other hand, once you have some, if you go for just a few days without it, you die. It's that addictive.
