People often confuse reduced bloating/water retention with true fat loss. Bromelain may support symptom relief in certain inflammatory or swelling contexts, which can make you feel “less puffy,” but that is not the same as burning body fat. Fat loss depends on a calorie deficit, activity, muscle mass, and metabolic factors. Bromelain is not a central “fat-burning” agent. If a product combines bromelain with stimulants/diuretics, perceived effects may come from those, not fat oxidation. Treat “fat burner” claims cautiously.
