Want to earn results you can see – and feel great doing it? Here’s your plan to match your fat-burner to your lifestyle and habits to get to your goals even faster!
The best fat-burners do more than just give you energy or control cravings (although they do that). They also gently convince your body that it’s OK to use stored up body fat as fuel, allowing you to creep up on your goals just a little faster – and feeling just a little better along the way.
But here’s the part that doesn’t get said often enough: every fat-burner works better when it’s backed up with healthy habits that are in line with your specific goals, physiology, and lifestyle.
Here are three simple ways to get the most out of your fat-burner.
Match Your Fat-Burner to Your Training
The “weights vs cardio” debate never really should have been a debate in the first place. You need both! Weight training gives your body shape and strength, while cardio is crucial for overall health, mood, and energy levels.
Each also has supplements that can help it be a little more effective. Match them up, and you can finish your training feeling strong – and see it pay off in the mirror.
Best for strength training: A caffeinated fat-burner like Shredded Steel Extreme Thermogenic Fat-Burner can double as a pre-workout, allowing you to power through tough weights workouts. If you’re looking for a caffeine-free option, Steel Fuel Vegan Branched-Chain Amino Acids provide workout-boosting, soreness-battling ingredients without any stimulants.
Best for cardio workouts: With just 100g of caffeine Steel Sweat Thermogenic Pre-Workout provides a “just right but not too much” boost in energy. But it also boosts sweat production and provides fatigue-fighting ingredients, which is why many in the SteelFit community reach for it before morning cardio.
Great for either: During cardio, a topical cream like Abs of Steel Fat-Burning Cream increases heat, sweat, and circulation in your core muscles. But because it increases muscular sensation, it can also be the secret for a next-level ab workout.
Respect your caffeine tolerance
A few years ago, the words “fat burner” basically meant a caffeine pill. At worst, it was caffeine and a bunch of mysterious ingredients you probably didn’t want to know about.
Today, you have plenty of high-quality options – including some that have no caffeine at all. If you’re in the over 50% percent of the population who metabolizes caffeine extra slowly, these are perfect for slimming down while respecting your precious sleep. And countless studies have shown that sleep is non-negotiable when weight loss (and avoiding weight gain) is the goal.
Two popular options include:
Steel Core Stimulant-Free Fat-Burner

Hack your hydration
Hydration is important, right? Yeah yeah, we’ve all heard it before.
But when you’re taking any type of fat-burner – caffeinated or caffeine-free – it’s especially important to drink plenty of water. Here’s are just three of the many reasons:
-
Water is a crucial component in lipolysis or the process of burning fat
-
Dehydration stresses your body, making it harder to burn fat
-
Caffeine can make it harder to notice you’re dehydrated
That’s why you’ll see this sentence on every SteelFit fat-burning supplement: “Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water daily.”
Can’t remember? Then it’s time to get systematic about your hydration. Here’s your plan:
-
Drink 1 glass upon waking
-
Drink 1 glass with Steel Core or other pills (rather than just a mouthful of water)
-
Drink 1 glass with each meal
-
Drink 1 glass before a workout
-
Drink 1 glass after a workout
By tying your hydration to other healthy habits in your life, you’re already up to seven glasses. Need some flavor? Feel free to add a scoop of Steel Fuel Vegan Branched Chain Amino Acids into any of those glasses. You’ve got this!
