you would better served by posting on bodybuilding.com forums but as for supplements that work to cut weight, I can say that ephedra works for sure. Not that I am saying you should take it.

Any thermogenic that raises your pulse will work. Most of the big supplement companies and their stuff like lipo6 and hydroycut do work but not as well as ephedra + caffein but since you said no to "energy boosters" I guess all of those are out

if you wanna loose some weight

1. figure out your caloric maintenance level and then drop that by a few hundred calories
2. add some muscle as it will burn calories throughout the entire day just by being present

i wrote a blog post a while back about cutting diets that you might find interesting : http://www.jonhaber.ca/post/11286308...a-cutting-diet

its not just about eating good / bad food its how many calories you need and how much you take in, i could loose 20 pounds eating nothing but mcdonalds if i wanted to, A cutting diet is forcing the body into caloric negative state or a catabolic state. That is the be all and end all of what it means to be on a diet in order to lose weight. Anything other than being in a caloric negative state will not result in weight lose.
