    Fat burners are dangerous for girls. They used to contain ephedra, which caused heart problems, stroke and even death. Because some athletes died when using ephedra, supplements containing ephedra have been taken off the market. Fat burners get around this by using ephedra-like products, which can cause high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and seizures.

    On the Other: You Can Train Naturally

    Instead of relying on sports supplements and fat burners, concentrate on eating right and getting into a weight-training or exercise program. Children and teens also need a lot of sleep, at least eight hours. Besides eating the right foods, do not skip meals, especially breakfast.

    Bottom Line

    If you are concerned about your weight, go to a doctor or a dietitian. Your coach can also help. Do not start taking fat burners. The risks are too great.
