This has been discussed before many times in many different forms.
Fat burners, herbs, green tea, etc. In theory you're correct but sadly these fat burners are more of a gimmick than real. If they did work they would be highly regulated by the FDA and probably not available over the counter. This country wouldn't have an obesity epidemic either. Will it hurt, no as long as you stop a few days before the test but don't expect a major or even a noticable increase in how fast our body eliminates THC metabolites. If you are willing to spend the money and feel that every bit helps, go for it.

I think in the past many "fat burners" used ephedra which was banned in 2004.

The use of diet and aerobic exercise in improving THC metabolite elimination has been discussed time and time again here so do a little search or further reading instead of repeating myself but you're on the right track.
