Why women's fat burners?
Well, fat burners are no longer being marketed as a "one-size fits all" solution. Smart retailers are honing in on and marketing to the largest and most influential audience of all -- women.
Thus, it's no suprise that you're seeing more and more women's fat burners on the market. I say "marketing to" because oftentimes these products rarely contain much in the way in ingredients to differentiate them from products marketed to men or anyone else for that matter.

Breaking Out of A Weight Loss Plateau
Fat loss expert Tom Venuto believes that many dieters should break away from a diet, maybe for a week, in order to re-stimulate the metabolism by providing essential proteins and energy to build back.
