Supplements For Weight Loss

Good health is dependent upon good nutrition. Your health is maintained adequately if you include many and essential nutrients in your diet. Nutrients are substances that are used by your body for variety of functions (for your growth, energy level, body repair etc) Many diseases are caused by incorrect eating habits and absence of proper nutrition. A lack of essential nutrients can result in deficiency diseases.

An essential nutrient is that which is to be obtained from a dietary source (food) as it can not be generated inside by our body. It is not possible to get adequate quantities of all key nutritious substances from your food alone, all the time.

Herbs are one of the most nutritious foods of all. Herbs are used best as nutritional supplementation. Herbs improve the function of nutritious substances.

Health supplements include powders, syrups or pills. They are essentially vitamins, minerals and other nutritious substances. When you include these in your daily intake of food, it results in extra nourishment & medicinal benefits.

Disease is prevented if you take a certain nutrient in amounts above the (RDA) Recommended Dietary Allowance. Some nutrients act as antioxidants. Antioxidants and nourishing substances of herbs keep your body healthy.

Vitamin B12 is one of the important food supplements. It is required for maintaining a healthy nervous system, energy levels and production of good DNA. These are essentials for your body.

The single most of symptoms for Vitamin B12 deficiency is feeling tired and lethargic. B-Complex vitamins are important for carbohydrate digestion and energy production. If unattended, B12 deficiency can cause Anemia. It is advisable to take Vitamin B12 along with a Folic Acid supplement and another in the family of B-Complex vitamins.

Frequent changes in diets and use of pre-processed foods are casing a significant deficiency in Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is found in fish, dairy, red meat & eggs. Vegetable sources are not known to contain vitamin B12.

Even if you are on a healthy diet, you are unlikely to get all nourishing nutrients mentioned in RDA - Recommended Daily Allowance. Herbal nutrition supplements form healthy nourishing substances in your diet.

Dietary supplements are meant to supplement the diets of some people. But it is not meant to replace balanced and healthy diet. Excess of some nutrients can be problematic for good health. FDA & the National Academy of Sciences Web sites carry information on functions, benefits and safe limits of health supplements.

For some people the uses of dietary supplements have been beneficial especially when it comes to their health. Some studies with evidences show that these dietary supplements under certain circumstances (pregnancy, surgery, certain chronic diseases etc) may be unnecessary for good health and may even cause unexpected risks to your well being.

Health professionals and health-related institutions especially the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are conducting further studies and research to know genuine health benefits of these dietary supplements.

Eating fruits and vegetables helps but it is not adequate. During harvesting, some nutrients are lost. It is not a common knowledge, but green vegetables if stored for few days & at room temperatures, lose almost all vitamin C. Cooking process can destroy almost half of a range of vitamins.

Supplements of Herbal nutrition, therefore, can take care of deficiency in your diet and can help prevent illnesses.

  3. QUESTION:
    What weight loss supplements can people with Bipolar condition take?
    I would like to know specifically what supplements to help aid weight loss for Bipolar people on weight gaining Bipolar medication (which slows the metabolism and increases appetitite)

    I already know of Green Tea to speed up metabolism and suppress appetite and Acai Berry DOES help you look a bit thinner in the face and relieves minimal bloat if taken moderately.

    What other supplements are safe?

    I want as much help as i can get!
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I understand the problem with meds and weight gain. Going through it myself. However, I would not risk any supplement etc. This is because they may have something in them that could trigger a manic state. Supplements are not required to be tested by the FDA and we don't always know what is in these supplements and what might trigger an exacerbation in our symptoms. I do agree with the other poster about exercise. It is sooooo hard to do. I seriously have problems with staying motivated but my 15 year old (also bipolar) excercises everyday and she actually weighs less AND she eats whatever she wants. She just gets a lot of excercise and it works. Hope that helps.

  10. QUESTION:
    Has anyone experienced with diets or weight loss supplements?
    Does anyone know of any diets or weight loss supplements that have worked for them?

    • ANSWER:
      Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

      One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

      The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

      It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

      You can see further details in a web search for "dash diet" + "lose weight".

  11. QUESTION:
    Are there any good weight loss supplements that actually work?
    I'm 6'1 and 208lbs, and I've been working out for years! I've been trying to gain weight so I could play linebackers at Virginia Tech. But after 4 years in high school of trying, I think it's easier to become lighter and play some skill position. So I'm trying to drop weight. I need to maintain muscle at the same time. Which supplements work the best?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm not a fan of weight loss pills or "miracle" supplements. I personally use and am a huge fan of meal replacement shakes for weight loss. They support the science of weight loss by allowing you to reduce your caloric intake which results in you shedding pounds. Quality shakes often include "supplements" that increase your body's fat burning ability while maintaining muscle mass.

  12. QUESTION:
    What kinds of weight loss supplements are there that don't affect your thyroid?
    I need to lose weight fast. No matter how much I work out and change my eating habits, it doesn't happen. Does anyone know what supplements out their actually work? I see so many pictures in the magazines for Hydroxycut, and you can tell that the "before" picture is fake. They obviously told some buff guy to gain weight, and then lose the weight again (the "after" picture). Which ones work!!!!! I need to lose 25-30 pounds within 3-4 months. Sooner would be great too.

    • ANSWER:
      Well here is the problem, the only thing that actually honestly works is ephedra and the FDA is doing their best to ban it.. so Im using stimerex ES but they have just changed their formula thanks to the FDA. But I have a few recommendations which are closer to the old formula and should work. The old formula of Stimerex ES with ephedra works hands down. Ive recommended it to several of my friends and they have all lost weight ..including myself..with no exercise...yes i know this is not healthy..blahblahlabh.. but here is the email I received with the different options:

      If you noticed on the website Hi-Tech has changed their formula. We have had this formula for the past 1 1/2 months. It now contains 25mg of Ephedra Extract rather than the 25mg of Ephedrine Group Alkaloids (Both Ephedra but uses a different part of the plant). Also their proprietary blend contain different amounts of the same properties. I believe with Hi-Tech leading the Industry in their Ephedra products they have received a lot of flak from the FDA. Ephedra is not officially banned yet but they changed their formula for what ever reason. Lipodrene and Stimerex are still one of our top selling products, but we do have other products that contain the similar ingredients as the old Stimerex-ES (such as Tri-Stack, ECA Stack, Hydroxyslim, Yellow Cross, Yellow Bullet, etc

  13. QUESTION:
    what weight loss supplements worked for you?
    in your opinion, what weight loss supplements and/or appetite suppresents worked for you? i dont want to hear that they are all scams, cause i know some do work and i want to know if any have worked for you. thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      None
      This industry is dominated by big corps looking for easy profit. All those so called supplements do is clog your body.
      You can suppress your appetite and feed your body with all necessary vitamins and minerals, by learning more herbal, natural way to stay the way you really want.
      I have a lot of knowledge hands on on fantastic products which are very affordable and would cut deep in profits of some produces in USA and Western Europe, but it is too late, those herbal supplements are becoming more and more popular, and will make a huge difference in our lifestyle .

  14. QUESTION:
    Protein supplements weight loss?
    I always thought protein supplements would increase your weight not be used for weight loss but lately I have seen articals saying that protein supplements like Whey protein is good for weight loss? Is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      As an *addition* to a diet, no.. it's useless. However, if you use it correctly, as a *replacement* to other sources of calories, it's great.

      If you cut down your daily fat intake to 30 grams or less, and reduce carbs by a ton, you can stay plenty healthy by taking in extra protein (50-100 gram's a day for moderately active males) as a replacement for the lost fat/carbs.

      Fat = 9 calories, Carbs = 4 calories, and Protein also = 4 calories. Any can meet your body's energy requirements so long as you still get *some* of the others.

      The quality is different, though. Fat is just fat. Carbs are just sugars waiting to be turned into fat. Protein is energy and also used for everything from cell repairs to muscle/tissue growth, etc. If you're combining this with exercise, the protein will especially help with muscle growth and healing all of those sore spots early on.

      So if you cut out fat/carbs, and take in more of your day's calories from protein.. yes, it will help with weight loss. But just adding protein without making any other changes won't do anything.

  15. QUESTION:
    weight loss supplements and healthy eating options?
    I'm looking to lose a bit of xmas weight and was wondering if there were any good weight loss supplements that would assist me, of course i'd be taking them alongside regular aerobic and anaerobic exercise, was just looking for an little extra help.

    Also what do you guys n girls recommend as healthy options for the main meals of the day, preferably stuff i can just go out and buy with little preparation as I don't have much spare time to prepare food from scratch, that and i'm probably a rubbish chef...

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called ProShapeRX. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info, also if your in time, theres a limited free trial where all you have to do is pay like 5 bucks for s/h which I took advantage of but in the long run, I ended up ordering more. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate

  16. QUESTION:
    What are the best weight loss supplements?

    thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I am happy to say I have lost 60 lbs with Meridia. As for the debate on whether it is safe falls on your doctor. Obviously if you have heart conditions already you should not take this product. Your doctor should know if your able to take this medication. I am no longer on Meridia and haven't gained any weight back either. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel so much healthier now.
      I order cheap meridia online drugstore: http://www.all-generic-drugs.com/meridia.html

  17. QUESTION:
    Know of any weight loss supplements or pills that actually work?
    I've been looking into maybe buying some type of pill for weight loss. I'm not really overweight I just want to lose a bit of weight. I'm a full time student and work full time so I'm too exhausted to go to workout. I eat right; very right. Just need a little something more. I've done some research on a few of the popular pills and I'm just skeptical, it all just looks like one big scam. Anyone actually take something or know of someone who is and has actually seen results? Thanks a lot. :)

    • ANSWER:
      I took trimspa for about 2 months and lost almost 20lbs. I cut out all soft drink and caffeine along with it. I am also a full time student and I feel the same way about being too tired to go and work out. The only thing about trimspa and many other diet pill is that if you have any heart problems they can be very dangerous. There was one problem I had with trimspa was that I got the jitters so I quit taking them. I can't fully contribute the jitters to trimspa because I cut out a lot of sugar and caffeine.

  18. QUESTION:
    Are there any Weight loss supplements or energy boosters that work?
    I am a 34 year old mother of three. I recently had to start taking Kepra for seizures. I have went from 138 up to 179 in three months. I have had my seizure medication switched due to the weight gain. However, I have not lost any of the weight I gained. I eat very little, so dieting alone does not work. I have no energy. Any suggestions for increasing metabolism or exercises focusing on stomach and hips?

    • ANSWER:
      I've taken Keppra, so I know that diet and exercise don't work for that... I found that if I woke up and drank as much water as I could and didn't eat breakfast for 45 minutes it helped suppress my appetite throughout the day. Just make sure you drink as much water as you can. Avoid products with caffeine in them (that can induce seizures, not to mention losing weight causes your body chemistry to change. The less stress, the less likely you're going to have a problem). I would also try to start eating more fresh and raw fruits and veggies. Blueberries are good. They have a bit of sugar, but they'll keep you clean internally. Try to walk for at least thirty minutes in a straight shot every day. The best time for exercise is after the water in the morning. Nothing too strenuous even. Simply walking will wake up your metabolism for the day.

  19. QUESTION:
    Do ANY weight loss supplements actually work?
    I am looking for something natural, that will give my weight loss a bit of a kick start. I am really urgently needing to lose some weight and I am worried that exercise and diet just aren't enough to get me over that edge. Does anyone know any good reliable natural things I can take to give my body that extra boost it needs? I drink green tea now, anything else?
    P.S. I know there is sooo much junk out there. I am not looking for a "magic pill".

    • ANSWER:
      no ,

  20. QUESTION:
    What are some safe weight loss supplements that can be used with diet and exercise?
    I'm not looking for a magic pill that miraculously makes me lose weight. I am looking for something I can take along with diet and exercising that maybe can speed up the process or produce more results. Most importantly it should be safe, but also if possible, natural. I'm looking to lose around 15-20 pounds, just some weight I gained over summer. Please let me know any good recommendations, especially if you have tried it yourself.

    • ANSWER:
      You can try the following,

      *) Green Tea before workout to crank up your metabolism.
      *) L - Carnitine -> This helps in moving the hard fats to mitochondria and converts them to energy
      *) Fish oil -> Can be useful for skin and cardio
      *) Multivitamin -> Assuming that you are on a diet.
      *) I take Glucosamine sulphate for joint cartillages

      hope it helps

    Not something like Hydroxycut or Slimquick...I've heard they're no good

    how can i purchase or get my hands on prescription weight loss supplements? like the same kind the models get?
    i want t purchase those prescription weight loss pills with the rx labels and everything. how do i get my hands on the ones that the models, actors and actresses, and rock stars get all the time, but they do not qualify for a legitimate prescription from a doctor. i'm willing to pay a decent amount for them.

    • ANSWER:
      The drugs don't work and they are harmful.
      The models use a combination of heroin and starvation.
      (I know I am a doctor, and I constantly struggle to keep my weight "ideal" so if there was an easy way, I would do it!)
      Try oolong tea. Purchase a water boiling hot pot at the asian store that will keep nice hot water on hand all day. Then, sip the oolong tea when you are hungry. Take a vitamin daily.
      Other than that, it is the usual, eat breakfast, avoid simple carbs, lots of fruit and veg.....blah blah blah, I know, easier said than done, LOL

    what would be good supplements for weight loss and lean muscle build on top of an intense workout?
    Im just looking for something extra for my workouts. Ive heard good things about no xplode for pre workout but i am also trying to loose weight while adding lean muscle. im 6'2'' 260. I played college football as a lineman. i know what im doing in the weight room but now i dont need to be that big but i want to stay strong

    • ANSWER:
      Try ZMA (Zinc monomethionine aspartate). If you workout on a regular basis, take these before bed. They really boost your testosterone levels... really! And it's easier to build lean muscle.

      You will notice some things right away like increased semen, increased body hair, etc.

      Don't take this stuff if you are on any kind of rx meds such as anti-depressants, etc. They have valerian root to help you sleep and interferes with meds... but that's about it.

  26. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever used green tea supplements for weight loss?
    My friend told me it worked for her (and she has lost lots of weight) but I am just skeptical I guess. Can anyone tell me if they have used it and if it has worked or not? Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Ok.... Green tea does have some antioxidant benefits to it.

      But if all else remains the same (your diet choices and your exercise program - or lack thereof), you are not going to see a worthwhile change. There is no magic pill or elixir that will help you lose weight and keep it off. (Not that's very healthy for you.)

      Your best bet.... Increase your level of exercise in small increments and adjust your diet choices some.

      Weight loss supplements do not work.Drinking lots of water does.Although a cleanse, as mentioned by another here,is beneficial to detoxify the body,it does little to keep the weight that you have lost, from coming back.Some cleanses are no food for as few as 3 days and as many as 40.Of course you will lose weight with no food,but as soon as you begin eating again,you will begin to gain unless you are eating lo calorie food.If you continue eating what made you fat in the first place,you will gain the weight back and then some.As I mentioned earlier,water will take off weight almost without doing anything else.Of course your weight loss will be excellerated by eating less callories and moving around more.Sorry,there are no over the counter supplements that work.

  30. QUESTION:
    Can anyone offer advice about weight loss supplements?
    I have been working out 4-5 times a week and eating around 1500-1700 calories per day for the past 2 1/2 months. I've only lost 10 pounds and I'm a little dissappointed by the results. I'd like to take the weight off just a little faster and could use a boost. I've been against taking supplements because I don't want to be wired and don't want to put the weight back on when I go off the pills. Can anyone recommend a supplement that worked well for you? Natural is better, but anything you can give me would be appreciated. I'm anxious for more significant results! It's getting harder for me to remain at my goal caloric intake. I'm starving all the time and I haven't lost ANY weight in 2 weeks.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think this is natural but it works for me Metabolite x treme. I take a generic form of it after I asked my doctor. 6 weeks ago I weighed 200 after taking that I weigh 165. I excercise, watch my calorie intake. This pill does not contain ephedrin. when you first take it you will get unusual energy- but just for4 a couple of days. The bottle said take three times a day but I only took two. Heres the best news.. I have been off of it for two weeks now ( I have to afford more, mine ran out) and I haven't gained any weight back. I have kept it maintained.. as long as I watch what i eat

  35. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used any good weight loss supplements from GNC?
    Theres so many to choose from that I dont know what to get. Im mainly looking for one that targets on fat reduction. I dont want anything thats going to make me feel "wired", just a good, strong fat burner.
    *Ok, so far Ive been given answers to dieting links (which isnt what I asked for, no offense). Im looking for an answer to my question.

    • ANSWER:
      Avoid avoid avoid buying supplements at GNC or Vitamin World. You will be getting overpriced supplements with sugars and fillers. Trust me, I've been in this field for over 18 years now.

      Instead, order a high quality acai berry supplement online. What I recommend is to get a free trial of Extreme Acai, which you can get at the source link below. Then you should follow some of the other links on that site to find a sensible diet and a moderate exercise plan. Try to eat fewer carbs at night, and fewer calories over all if you think you can't lose weight. Give it 1 month and you should be able to lose 15-20 lbs easy.

      Acai berries have far more antioxidants than any other fruit. Even more than blueberries! Besides that, the nutrients in acai berry supplements help many other diseases and maladies, from diabetes to arthritis to blood clotting. It really is a worthwhile supplement to add to your daily nutrition.

      As far as the acai berry assisting with fat loss, acai can be a great weight loss aid. The berry’s natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently, process food more quickly and shed the unwanted pounds that you’d like to lose.

      The fatty acids and amino acids aid in both muscle development and proper digestion, both of which are essential to fat loss. The fiber helps your body to move food out of your system quicker and also to help you feel full, as do fatty acids. Phytosterols help fortify your digestive tract, moving waste materials out and absorbing nutrients more efficiently.

      I wouldn't say that acai berries are the magic weight loss pill, but I would say that acai could be an important ingredient in your vitamin / supplement / weight loss arsenal.

      Go ahead and order a free trial of Extreme Acai from the source link below. This is the product I use, and honestly I feel better every day. If you don't like it, just don't reorder it... but you'll like it. =)

  39. QUESTION:
    Are there any weight loss supplements that actually work? acai berries? hydroxycut?
    I have a pretty good diet ( I do cheat here and there ) and I exercise pretty frequently. Try to do an hour a day, 4-5 days a week. I'm just looking for that extra boost to help me lose weight. Have any of you tried a product that worked for you? Any suggestions would be great?

    • ANSWER:
      The US is one of the most obese countries in the developed world so don't you think if there was a supplement that worked, that gave the dieter that "extra boost", you would know about it?? And, don't you think the manufacturer of that supplement would be making $billions and spending a ton or money on advertising to make sure you knew about it?

      It doesn't take a genius to deduce the truth about fads, gimmicks, scams, and quick fixes for whatever it is that ails us. Supplements sellers of today are the old snake oil salesmen of yesterday.

      No, supplements don't help lose fat.

      Good luck and good health!!

      PS: Protein has the same number of calories as pure sugar (4cal/gm) so don't listen to anyone telling you to take protein supplements.

  42. QUESTION:
    Do weight loss supplements and diets work?
    Do the advertised pills, drops, diet programs like jenny craig actually work? I am trying to lose weight and the simple way..by cardio and eating a bit less but just out of curiosity wanna know if it is healthy to try the afore mentioned things and if they really do work or just make u feel good for some time till u regain all ur weight

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like you're doing it right.

      Most pills and programs will have disclaimers in the advertising saying "Results not typical" or "With diet and exercise" for a reason. If you need help controlling your portions something like Jenny Craig or WeightWatchers can be helpful, especially with guidance keeping your intake well balanced and with moral support, but it all comes down to reducing (or modifying) what you eat and being more active.

      It can take a while and you will hit walls and plateaus, but keep at it!

      If you do decide you need additional help (pills or drops) I'd ask your doctor and steer clear of people who point to the same web site (designed, of course, to sell you crap) for just about every answer they give.

  43. QUESTION:
    Are Acai Berry supplements good for weight loss?
    Are Acai Berry supplements good for weight loss? Which Acai Berry supplements are best and which stores can I find them in?

    • ANSWER:
      I'll tell you what I recommend first, then I'll explain why.

      What I recommend is to get a free trial of Extreme Acai, which you can get at the source link below. Then you should follow some of the other links on that site to find a sensible diet and a moderate exercise plan. Try to eat fewer carbs at night, and fewer calories over all if you think you can't lose weight. Give it 1 month and you should be able to lose 10-15 lbs easy.

      Now let me tell you why...

      Acai berries have far more antioxidants than any other fruit. Even more than blueberries! Besides that, the nutrients in acai berry supplements help many other diseases and maladies, from diabetes to arthritis to blood clotting. It really is a worthwhile supplement to add to your daily nutrition.

      I wouldn't say that acai berries are the magic weight loss pill, but I would say that acai could be an important ingredient in your vitamin / supplement / weight loss arsenal. You must also exercise at least 3 times a week and stay away from junk food. This is what I do, and it has worked for me. Good luck!

    I just joined Quick Weight Loss Center, to loose 25 lbs. After paying over 0. to join, and signing a contract, I found out there are Supplements that I need to take..costing well over 00.00
    Do you know of any other products I can substitute for their products?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi!.I have same problem like you before. I was an overweight person sick and tired of being fat. I tried all the new diet programs and products, but nothing worked for more than a week or two... I always gave up and gained the weight back. In fact, I usually gained back more weight than I lost.

      I then realized I had to rely on myself to lose the weight. So, I became absolutely obsessed with learning everything I could on how to burn body fat. I researched information in libraries, read countless weight loss and nutrition journals, and I spoke to every expert I could find. I spent hours a day researching and learning about the true keys to losing body fat.... All of this research really paid off too...

      After dedicating hundreds of hours learning how to burn body fat, I developed a no-nonsense weight loss plan for myself. Once I started this plan, I lost 25 lbs the first month. Then, over the next thirty days, I dropped another 18 pounds! I lost a total of 115 pounds in less than one year! What is even more amazing is I have kept every single pound off for over 6 years!!
      Due to the massive success, I suggest you to explore this hardcore information at

      Family and friends begged me to teach them my methods for fat loss... So, I spent over a year creating an electronic book (eBook), and titled it "Ultimate Weight Loss Secrets!" I gave it only to family and close friends. Everyone who tried the book was very successful... in fact, some of them have lost even more weight than myself! One family member lost 60% of her body fat!

  47. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used Bladderwrack supplements for weight loss before?
    I hear they are supposed to help stimulate the thyroid and increase energy. I have been feeling so sluggish lately and I'm putting on weight (my fat jeans are getting tight! help!!).

    If you have used it, did you see results and would you recommend it to anyone?
    Ok, I guess I won't rush out and buy any--I'll just reset the alarm and dust off the weights.............no quick fixes for me!!

    • ANSWER:
      It's nonsense. Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is just another seaweed, compositionally the same as most seaweeds (and spinach, too, incidentally), and while it it is delicious, it won't make you any thinner.

      Think about it, most people in Japan eat seaweed every day, but you still see fat Japanese people!

      If you want to fit in your jeans, eat less & exercise more. You have to burn more calories than you consume, and your poor little thyroid can't do that for you!

    Weight Loss Supplements in addition to my exercise/diet routine?
    I have been going consistently to the gym for about 8 months now.
    Past 1 and a half months I have been taking it more seriously.
    Right when I wake up I do 40 min on eliptical.
    Before dinner time I go do 45 min of weights and then 25 min on eliptical. I do this 5-6 days a week.
    I weight 313 pounds (was 340 lbs 7 months ago).
    Male
    22 years old
    72 inches tall
    body fat is 33%

    Yes I am on a diet; no fast food, fried food, wings, ribs, burgers, pizza, etc. And I take in ~200 grams of protein a day and eating under my daily value of carbs.
    I am trying to build/tone and lose weight simulatenously.
    I keep each muscle group workout 3 days off of each other

  50. QUESTION:
    breast supplements/weight loss?
    Im getting these pills Ive seen on tv, cosmo, and word of mouth, but im also building up my body, should I work out for about6-8 weeks, then take them, or do both at the same time? I dont want to lose the weight in my breasts, so what now ?

    • ANSWER:
      Over-the-counter diet pills are worthless (they contain caffeine and stimulant herbs that give you energy to work out, but there is no such thing as "fat burning" medication). No matter where it is advertised, it's just a gimmick.

      Unfortunately there's also nothing you can do to stop your body from burning fat in your breasts. Only breast augmentation surgery will keep them large if your body is designed to lose breast fat when you burn claories.

      The best advice I can give you is to really tone your muscles instead of trying to burn a lot of calories, so that you'll have the appearance of larger breasts and they will look plump compared to your firmer body.
