To go with the muscles or the fat-burning properties?

It's a tough decision to make: whether to pursue a program to simply burn off body fat and slim down, or to go for the comprehensive, total-body approach to also increase muscle mass and strength. I suppose the latter is more desirable, considering we all want fast results, but this may not be the best move. That's because weight loss and muscle development are, to a certain extent, mutually exclusive. That is, you need to focus on one approach to lose the fat, and then switch gears to promote the retention and development of lean muscle mass.

But a product called Calotren is advertised as a potent formula for increasing muscle development quickly, as if this is all you needed to reach your weight loss goals. The formula actually seems to be more suited for anti-aging support, with ingredients such as Collagen and Aloe Vera, two of the more common skin care agents on the market (Collagen is believed to be superior for that purpose). I would much rather go with a weight loss formula that helps suppress my appetite and increases my metabolism, two things that can help me directly with my weight loss goals.
