Review: Thermo Heat Fat Burner supplement #sponsored #ThermoHeat #FitFluential
This post is part of a sponsored campaign with FitFluential and Thermo Heat. While I received compensation for my time, all thoughts, ideas and opinions are my own.
I received a bottle of Thermo Heat to try out before doing this review. I was a little apprehensive and nervous. I’ve never tried anything like this to help with weight loss. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’m a mom and a runner. You’ll also know that I’ve had THE hardest time dropping the final 10 (or fewer) pounds since my son was born.
I’ve run a marathon and three half marathons since he was born, as well as countless other races. Running just didn’t drop the pounds. Neither did breastfeeding (because I did that for two years.)
When I was approached about Thermo Heat, I read through their website. I read through clinical studies and everything about Thermo Heat sounded legit. It appeared that every ingredient (I’m a total ingredient-reader) had a specific purpose to burn fat/increase metabolism. I even read a review on Fitness RX for Women. And I googled Thermo Heat, just to see what was out there. The reviews were definitely mixed (as far as results people were seeing.)
The people behind Thermo Heat are also the same people behind creatine, which is a supplement my husband took when he was weight lifting years ago.
I talked it over with my doctor (because I just happened to have an appointment schedule. Talk about convenience.) And then I began taking the capsules. You start with two daily and can increase to three. The maximum recommended amount is four capsules, but I did not go that far.
I felt the heat from the first Thermo Heat capsule within minutes of taking it. And within an hour I really felt energized. I remember running that day and I just felt I had more energy. Such an exciting feeling! After the first day, I was down almost 2 pounds. Most likely it was water weight. Because Thermo Heat has so much caffeine, I was nervous to drink too much soda, so I really cut back on my soda intake. (I’m trying to eliminate it completely.)
The upside: I felt like I had a ton more energy. Probably from all of the caffeine one capsule fills. I started to drop the hard-to-lose pounds. I really was focused. And I found myself not snacking much. I just wasn’t as hungry between meals.
The downside: Each capsule contains a lot of caffeine (250 mg) and I was WIRED. You have to be extra careful to not take it too close to bedtime, unless you want to be awake all night. The capsules also made me feel a little nauseous (especially the first couple of days.) The feeling went away, but I found myself needing to eat graham crackers or something to help with the nausea. (A lot of pills make me feel this way. In fact, this is why I still take children’s chewable daily vitamins.)
And there was one day where the capsule didn’t quite go down the first try. I felt like my throat was on fire – and it took over an hour (and drinking a ton of water) to feel better.
In the end, I did lose some weight. I think that the weight loss was a combination of Thermo Heat and a change in my eating habits. I wasn’t snacking as much, and the snacks I had were healthier options. My weight fluctuated daily (as it always does) during the time I took Thermo Heat. It’ll be interesting to see how my snacking habits remain the same or revert back to old ways over the next couple of weeks (I’d love for them to cease!)
Have you ever tried a supplement? Did you see any results if you have tried one?

You are probably going to think I am weird, but caffeine has absolutely no effect on me. I can drink a large espresso right before bed and fall right to sleep. I should totally try these.
I remember taking too many of those one day and I was WIRED. I prefer a B vitamin complex for energy without the caffeine.
I’d love that energy but it makes me nervous I’d be too wired too! I have never really taken any supplments!
I don’t have an issue with caffeine and I would love to have a little more energy. 🙂 I will look into them!
Sounds like a great addition to boost your metabolism. Worth checking out.
I could do with the energy part but i do not take supplements to lose weight.Right now i am happy with how i am i have a high metabolism so i do not put on much weight anyway.
I have tried supplements before, and can’t stand the ones that make me jittery! I’d love to find one that does everything without the jitters.
I have never tried a supplement – but I have thought about it. Thanks for the information, I will be back to re-read the information again!
That is a lot of caffeine. My heart tends to do funky things when I am amped up so I might need to start with half a pill?
That is a lot of caffeine. Caffeine makes me super sweaty and shaky…and almost nervous. Not productive at all! I’ve tried energy supplements but discovered they aren’t for me.
Last time I tried a supplement similar to this, it didn’t end good. I think it was too much on my body!
I have tried my fair share of supplements. Some have worked and some leave me too wired!
I have not tried a supplement. But that much caffeine would definitely have a negative effect on me.
I have never tries a weight loss supplement. I have tried supplements for additional vitamins and antioxidants.
*have never TRIED
I like the idea of the healthier snacks. I’ve never tried a supplement before. Good luck on your journey!
Oy, sorry to hear the side effect was caffeine OD. Thanks for the tip about making sure to have plenty of water to wash it down!
To be honest I am more of a holistic girl…I like to detox with smoothies or drink cleansers and not supplements. I don’t think I will be a weight loss supplement taker but hey it might work for others…I am just scared!
I have never heard of this product or tried it, but that much caffeine seems like a lot! I recently quit drinking sodas all together, so good luck giving them up!
I believe when I was younger, I did try some fat burning supplements without much success. Most of them had caffeine in them and I eat way too much caffeine to begin with. I have not heard of this brand yet though, thank you for sharing it!
I was advised against things with caffeine. The doctors said they could help me dehydrate.
That sounds like a LOT of caffeine! I’ve never used supplements, am glad I got to hear about your experience
That’s awesome that you happened in at the doctors right when you were doing this.. I think I haven’t ever tried anything like it, or if I have, I don’t remember.
Thanks for the honesty, especially with caffeine. I’d be wired too!
There are so many supplements and fat-burning products out there. It’s good you talked with your doctor!
I always love reading your posts and what you have been up to! You running a marathon? That means I can at least go run a lap around the neighborhood. Thanks for the review!
I haven’t tried anything like it, but boosting metabolism sounds like a good idea. Sorry you got it stuck that one time though!
I have been looking for something in this area, I am trying to lose weight so this would be awesome!
I have not tried a supplement. My mom has tried several though and nothing has worked.
I need some more caffeine in my life. I’d be interested to try those as well.
I dont’ know how I feel about the caffeine intake. i stopped drinking coffee just to make some healthier choices
Oh man,I do need to burn fat, but the whole wired thing scares me. I already drink a ton of coffee!!
I haven’t tried weight loss supplements. Too much caffeine make me feel wonky.
I”ve looked into supplements but they make me nervous. I can’t handle caffeine. I used to drink a bunch of it when I was younger but I stopped 10 years ago and ever since then, if I have even a little, it really affects me. But this is interesting. My husband likes to try supplements.
Thankfully, i dont need a weightloss supplement. I can have very much caffeine because of my bladder.
I have definitely tried supplements. Over the course of my life, I have tried all kinds of supplements for all kinds of things.
I tried a powder shake supplement a few years ago. It was supposed to keep you from wanting to eat as much as you normally do. Personally I found the taste disgusting and found that it didn’t work for me.
I have been taking Garcinia for the last few weeks and I really like it. I can’t do a lot of caffeine myself, gets me feeling way to jumpy.
