Knowing I would never gain the physique of a bodybuilder, I just wanted a "beach" body. I used to have a bad and unhealthy lifestyle growing up. It was to the point my parents signed me up for a gym membership, dragged me to the gym and forced me to work out for at least an hour. My god that ONE hour felt like days. I was overweight when I was a teenager, and I would purposely buy XXL shirts so it would not hug the love handles. At a height of 5'7, I was weighing around a sloppy 215+ lbs.Over the years of college then joining the military, I eventually engaged in a healthy lifestyle. Following numerous workout plans and diets, I want to say that I'm quite satisfied where I'm at today compared how I used to be, though I know I can do better. At one point I was down to 140lbs, but was not happy with my physique. I was skinny, toned and felt like any other little skinny average Joe out there. Strength drastically reduced, decided to start gaining. Now, the past few years, I've been sitting around 190-200, muscular physique but pudgy around my mid-section. Note that I enjoy cooking and love to eat, which doesn't help at times.PRODUCT REVIEW:I'm currently on a tour in Afghanistan, and been trying to put on clean weight since my arrival in country. I'm about past my half way mark and decided to start cutting. But with the lack of food options here and working a night schedule, a good diet is hard to come by.I, myself, am not really into fat burners. Last weight loss supplement I was satisfied with was OxyElite PRO by USP labs. After the FDA recall (back in 2010 I think?), the new reformulated product was a disappointment. It seems whenever a good product hits the shelves and gains popularity it is recalled by the FDA due to health concerns. But, there are numerous of chemical ingredients and additives in the food industry that are illegal in other countries, approved by the FDA and selling to the American people. Sorry to be off topic, but onto the product.What really caught my eye was the "MUSCLE-PRESERVING FAT BUNER" The thing I hated most about cutting weight is muscle loss, so decided to give this supplement a try. What I like about Vintage Burn is that I do not get the jitters following the "crash" later on the day. I feel more alerted and focused, without my heart beating so rapidly. I'm not a heavy caffeine user, only caffeine I intake is from a pre-workout supplement. Unlike OxyElite, I felt I wasn't pacing around on the tip of my toes for no particular reason. Suppression of appetite is there, but I feel I do not suffer from eating between meals.The instruction on the bottle reads to consume 2 capsules twice a day 30-60 minutes before meals. It advises to increase dosage 2 capsules three times a day for maximum results, which I will not be following due to my availability of food options and work schedule as previously stated. There are 120 easy to swallow capsules in one bottle, making it a total of 60 servings per 2 capsules.PROGRESS:Here, I will update my progress with the use of Vintage Burn. I'll provide weigh-ins as well as my thoughts with progress and results. I will not be able to provide body fat percentage since I do not have any way to measure with calipers or devices.Like any other weight loss supplement, in order to gain results, a proper DIET and EXERCISE should be followed.29 JUN 2014 - Started to cut weight, finishing a muscle gain program, gradually adjusting diet for weight loss. Weight: Approx 203 lbs.7 JUL 2014 - Received my bottle of Vintage Burn, along with other supplements to accommodate with in the program (Animal Pak, Multi-Vitamins, CLA, Whey Isolate), started using Vintage Burn as directed.12 JUL 2014 - Started a new workout program from Bodybuilding.com, 30 DAYS OUT, Craig Capurso's Extreme Cut Trainer (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/30-days-out-craig-capursos-extreme-cut-trainer.html).19 JUL 2014 - Weight: 192 lbs. That's more than 10lbs in 12 days. I've already noticed a slight increase in definition in my upper chest, arms, shoulders and legs. It only feels like I've slimmed a bit in my mid-section, but still pudgy in the mirror. I will start taking measurements for self-reference. I'm really satisfied with the results I've noticed so far.22 JUL 2014 - Decided to try out some body fat calculators online. Though it may not be as accurate as an BodPod or with the use of calipers, I figured a measuring tape and a standard formulated calculator will be a good way for me to track my progress.Abdominal (widest): 36.6 inchesNeck: 15.8 inchesHeight: 67 inches---Body Fat: 22.23% per US Navy Formula2 aug 2014 - Received my second bottle of Vintage Burn, and two orders of Vintage Build. Started to use Vintage Build 1 scoop per day after my workout, 1 scoop upon waking up on non-training days.7 AUG 2014 - I finished my first bottle of Vintage Burn today, and completed the last workout session of the program I've been following the past 30 days. I weighed in today after my workout at 188lbs. That's 6 lbs off my last weigh in. Going to continue onto the second bottle, along with diet and exercise. Visually, I'm noticing slight definition in my arms, shoulders, upper back and legs. My lower chest, which I've been focusing on the past couple months, is losing it's man-boob shape and flattening. Over the years I've been focusing too much on upper and mid chest. My abdominal area appears to have slimmed down a bit, and my co-workers have been complimenting on the weight I've lost.8 Aug 2014 - So before I go about my day, and take a two (maybe three) days of resting before starting a new workout plan, decided to take some measurements. Again, I've used a Body Fat Calculator online formulated by the US Navy.Abdominal (widest): 35.6 inchesNeck: 15.8 inchesHeight: 67 inches---Body Fat: 20.39%I've lost an inch off my abdominal area, and dropped 2% body fat. At this rate I'm satisfied with the results, but I still have ways to go. Staying on track and maintaining consistency will only get me there.2 OCT 2014 - So I've completed two bottles of Vintage Burn, and still working on my second bottle of Vintage Build. My Co-workers have been saying that I look *skinny* than before when we arrived in country. I weighed in today at 177 lbs. I was actually shocked on how much weight I've lost. My mid section looks leaner than before, and my muscles look more defined than they were months ago. I do plan to bulk when I return stateside and winter is around the corner. I will be definitely ordering another around of Vintage Burn when it's time to start cutting.*I will update more as I progress*

First and foremost, this is a company that stands behind their products. Old School Labs goes above and beyond to make sure their customers are satisfied. This is the primary reason that I am giving the 5-star review for this product. The fact that you can try something and have a hassle-free guarantee is something not very common in most industries.So now on to the results I have experienced.I had originally planned to wait a bit to update my original review, but felt that I have had enough time to give this product a good try.Everyone must remember that weight loss is not a sprint, but a marathon. They're no magic pills that will just cause the weight to fall off, so manage your expectations. Also, weight loss involves changing your life style and developing healthier eating habits.I started my weight loss journey on June 3, 2017. I weighed right at 200 pounds. At the date of this review 8/15/17, it has been just over two months. In the first month I lost almost 20lbs. I dieted and have stayed in the gym most days of the week over the summer. This product may have helped with some of that, but everyone is different. I started my 2nd bottle a few days ago and I have already added an additional 4-5 pounds. So I have lost approximately 25lbs in the time that I have been using Vintage Burn. I've had some minor slow downs at times throughout but then weight loss picks back up, not the usual slow down that often occurs.What are the ingredients in this product that may influence weight loss?According to the product description Vintage burn focuses on 3 main goals: weight loss, muscle preservation, along with focus and mood improvement.The ingredients are said to be premium and they are some of the more talked about weight loss ingredients. Remember, these are only possible effects.Green Tea Leaf Extract which provides two benefits – antioxidants for better overall health of your cells, and increased metabolism through the activation of fat mobilization. This particular ingredient has been around a while, and is well documented in its weight loss and health benefits.Green Coffee Bean Extract which boosts your mood and focus while prompting your body to use fat and preserve the protein needed for lean muscle development and maintenance. This ingredient is a more recent in becoming a popular weight-loss supplement ingredient. This ingredient has been talked about on several television shows.Raspberry Ketones which help suppress your appetite and increase your energy, both crucial benefits if your efforts are going to pay off. This one I have also seen on some tv shows.Olive Leaf Extract which boosts metabolism through the mechanism of activating thyroid hormone, and also helps with post workout recovery.I've never heard of Olive-Leaf extract, but I know that that olives are not bad for you, so it may help.Caffeine which is well known to boost mood, metabolism, motivation, and energy. Caffeine is well studied and proven to increase metabolism, but those with certain conditions or sensitivities to stimulants should be careful.Bacopa Leaf Extract which boosts mood, keeps you focuses and motivated, and also blocks the slowdown of your metabolism as you lose weight. This one was a new one on me. Who knows? It may be beneficialGarcinia Fruit Extract which works to prevent the build up of fat storage by preventing the formation of new fat cells.It also helps curb carbohydrate cravings. This one is another one that has been featured on many tv shows.Chrysin which regulates your body’s estrogen levels, leading to increased preservation of lean muscle, which then leads to a higher resting metabolic rate. I've never heard of this one, but if it does what it says it would be great.Forskohlii Root Extract which encourages the breakdown of stored fats while leaving muscle intact. I've seen this one around, but I don't think it has been proven very effective alone, but maybe in combination with these others, some synergy may occur.So, did I experience any negative side effects? The short answer is no, but because of the stimulative nature of some of the ingredients do not take it too late in the day as it may interfere with sleep. I can tell you that for me this produced no noticeable stimulant effects. I never felt "wired" or anything. I also credit this product for allowing be to give up on sodas without the negative side effects of that. Looking at the ingredients I see nothing that would be particularly dangerous, but with anything like this you should always consult your doctor before starting a new product as everyone is different and some of this may be contraindicated for you.If you are in the market for a weight loss product. I can recommend this product for you, it may work for you. I hope it does. Since Old School labs stands behind their products, their is no financial risks, and everyone knows the risk of being chronically overweight. I wasn't initially impressed with the product, but since I have been on it longer, the results seem to pick up in pace. So give it a shot and see what happens, but remember this is only a first step. Lifestyle changes are necessary to maintain long-term weight loss, so get moving.
