Keep in mind that MOST fatburners will burn about 150 extra calories a day. So taking those are not making a huge impact in your fat loss - in a week, they will burn off about 1,000 calories. Not a big impact.
Your results will come from DIET. That is going to be key #1 in losing fat.
As for foods a "working girl" can eat ..... That is simple. The key is going to be to PREPARE ahead of time. Take SUnday and cook all your lunches for the week, even package them up separately, so you just have to grab it and go.
Simple things - like grilled chicken and green beans, grilled pork and sweet potato, Lean steak and brown rice, a big salad w. lots of veggies and lean meat ..... Actually quite simple.
Snacks are easy too - protein shake, apple and 20 almonds, 1/2c cottage cheese and sliced almonds, celery/apple and All Natural Peanut Butter.
TOUGH LOVE HERE ..... Most of us here are very busy - juggling families, jobs and significant others. That is no excuse. That is crap to say it is hard to fit in exercise and work - it is all about priorities. You have to make the time to do it - just like anything else. It takes determination, perseverance and sacrifice. Not making excuses.
As for "having to have something for breakfast (in reference to the Special K) - how about Oatmeal and Eggs? That is much cleaner and will "stick with you" longer than cereal.
