It depends on what you expect of them. The ones that mix things like caffeine, octopamine, and yohimbine will give you nice energy, will they burn any fat? No. But could they facilitate a more intense workout for a longer period of time? Sure.

The human body burns fat, not pills.

Exactly, they do not burn fat or change your ****bolism. Just gives you the energy to do more effective workouts, if you need a kick in the ass.

Ephedrine and the like only increase energy expediture by something like 2-3%, but they do make you focus and train harder IMO. They also kill appitite.

My personal view on such stims is complicated. They help increase energy expediture, leave you feeling fucked the next day but also kill your desire to want to eat food and hence recovery.

Its a odd thing that can lead to overtraining/over reaching IMO if not controlled.

I'm going to say clen now, but I don't have any experience with it (and to be honest i don't know what grouping of drugs it falls into it).
I have read without proper guidance/a good head on your shoulders, it can be some bad stuff
