Review Summary
Nevertheless, Expedrine brewed up an ingredient combination that may cause the same positive and negative effects that ephedrine did.
The active ingredients are purported to help maximize fat loss, increase energy, and accelerate metabolism. The parsimonious advertising for Expedrine does not include any guidelines for healthy weight loss.
Ingredients at a Glance
Expedrine HCL, Synephrine, Caffeine, Guggulsterone, Magnesium Salicylate, Guarana, Theobromine
Ingredients in Focus
The first clue that Expedrine did not make it through the health consciousness gauntlet is the combining of caffeine with Synephrine. Synephrine is a stimulant, similar to caffeine and ephedrine. It is thought to have similar effects in terms of providing an energy boost, suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate leading to the burning of more calories. However, when the ingredient is combined with caffeine it may cause similar negative cardiovascular side effects that were experienced with ephedrine. The Caffeine, Guarana, and Theobromine are all considered stimulants to the central nervous system, cardiac muscle, as well as the respiratory system.
Positives
It appears as though Expedrine was pulled from the market because health-conscious individuals were not willing to risk their health for weight loss.
Negatives
Expedrine contains far more caffeine than is necessary for appetite suppression

Final Thoughts
Unreliable and unsafe products seldom last in todays highly competitive market and vacillating economy. People who are attempting weight loss want the biggest bang for their buck because it is not going as far as it used to. The good thing is dieting and exercise can be accomplished on a shoestring budget; cut calories and take brisk walks everyday and you are on your way. You can reach weight loss goals more successfully and probably a little sooner if you shop smart for any weight loss supplements. The most reliable ingredients are proven with clinical studies and backed by product guarantees and consumer testimonials.

QUESTION:
What's the advantage in havinig 50 ingredients in a weight loss product like Orovo X-Treme?
Are more ingredients better? ZCA Stack only has 3 ingredients, Orovo X-treme has 50. Both are supposed to be intense weight loss products not to be taken unless you want serious results. But why the great disparity in ingredients? What does that mean for me as a dieter.-
ANSWER:
it just means that stack is more natural. personally i think you should just loose weight naturally, it takes more calories to digest fruits and vegetables then how many calories are in them.

QUESTION:
What are the best ingredients in Weight Loss pills?
Can anyone tell me what's the best thing to look for in weight loss pills?
I'm on a pill right now that's called "Weight Defense" and it contains Rhodiola rosea Root Extract, Rhododendron caucasium Extract, Green tea extract, and CLA One. Is this a good/bad pill? Any suggestions are welcome!-
ANSWER:
all pills that contain L-Carnitine is good!
but better is to take pills (for example Lipo-6) AND L-carnitine!if you really want to lose wight and fat then you should remember and do this:
EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) + L-Carnitine + TAKE LESS CALORIES + LIPO-6 = 100% SUCCESS
1) if you dint have then buy scales!!! that is the first thing to do!!
2) run every 2 days for at least ~30 minutes or/and walk every day at least 5 km!
3) L-Carnitine!!!
L-Carnitine is a nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy. It is produced by the body in the liver and kidneys and stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm. Usually, the body can make all the carnitine it needs. Some people, however, may be deficient in carnitine because their bodies cannot make enough carnitine or transport it into tissues so it can be used. Some other conditions, such as angina or intermittent claudication, can also cause insufficient carnitine in the body, as can some medications.L-Carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It increases the use of fat as an energy source by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are ‘burned’ to release energy for body functions. It is available in several different forms including propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. Propionyl-L-carnitine, through its enhancement of metabolism has been proven to prevent ischemia-induced heart dysfunction, and acetyl-L-carnitine has been suggested to delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. L-carnitine is found naturally in avocados, breast milk, dairy products, red meats (namely lamb and beef), and tempeh (fermented soybean product).
L-carnitine should be taken one hour before you will exercise! (Also you can take L-carnitine with meals or 1 to 1-1/2 hours after meals!)
L-Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body's burning of tryglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored in the liver for heavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fat at a rate of 75-80% of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydrates is burned. L-carnitine
allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source.FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY
5) you MUST change your diet!! start to use products with less fat, less carbohydrates! start count your calories! do not eat more than ~2000 per day and if you feel that you can reduce this number then do it!
because if you will use L-Carnitine - you will get calories from your body fat too!! so better is to eat 2kg fruits then 1 cheeseburger...
and drink more and more water!! REMEMBER - NO rice, NO pasta, NO pork, NO mayonnaise, NO sweets, NO candies, NO alcohol!!!!!
MORE fruits, vegetables!!!6) also you should use some fat-burner! I had tried many of them but only one worked for me as fast as I wanted to! it was Lipo-6! I lost ~80 pounds in 3 months! No starvation!! only LESS CALORIES + Lipo-6 + L-Carnitine + EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) = SUCCESS!!!
I do not know if any store carry Lipo-6 but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.healthbuy.com/product/overview/lipo6_weight_loss/?aid=749165
It worked for me and my wife!
and this method is working for my friends too!!
just try it and I guarantee you 100% that you will lose wight!!!
good luck!!!

QUESTION:
Besides cayenne, any other common spices or ingredients, etc., really effective for burning fat/weight-loss?
Folks, I know I feel warmed-up when I toss some powdered or flaked plain (unsalted) chili pepper or cayenne pepper in a glass with filtered water, and toss that back. Even, it makes my scalp sweat! Any use in trying to lose weight? I mean, are any peppers PROVEN to help with burning fat/weight-loss?
(Look, I already walk 2 hours/day, eat less than I would like... Just, I want to do EVERYTHING I can, and so, I would like to hear from people who got results with pepper(s) - various types.)
Further, I have no access (or interest in getting) in maple syrup. Is it really important? I mean, I don't care about taste; I'll drink/eat anything that will help take off the weight. Also, I have heaps and heaps of various types of pepper: cayenne, habanero, chili... Do any OTHER peppers help with weight-loss, or, is it just cayenne?
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences!-
ANSWER:
Well the sweating may be burning a few calories but as far as peppers being used for weight loss, I have never heard anything. I eat 'em cuse I like them. Pickles however do burn calories just by eating them. Something about it taking your body more energy to digest it than it contains. Not really what you asked but somewhat relevant.

QUESTION:
Any juices of smoothies I can make myself to aid weight loss?
I have a tendency to snack but the other day I went to a juice bar and it filled me up so much I didn't want to eat anymore! On the menu there was a juice that helped weight loss. So does anyone know the ingredients for a juice or smoothie I can make at home that would aid weight loss??? Thanks!!!-
ANSWER:
Here are some of the recipes that I use. They are low calorie and taste great. Even the ones that contain dried fruit and nuts are very good for you, just don't drink these particular ones everyday. Two times per week or at the weekends as a special treat would be fine.They are all from the Juice Master (Jason Vale)
It may be useful buying some of his books. He has produced a wealth of amazing tasting juices and smoothies.Hope these help.

QUESTION:
Can I use an Acai berry supplement from Whole Foods for weight loss?
There are many free risk trials on the internet promoting an Acai Berry weight loss supplement. I have researched the ingredients but have not found anything stating that one works better than the others. It would be less stressful for me to go the a nutrition store and buy it in person rather than to place an order online and haveing to wait for the delivery, not including what they charge me if I don't cancel the free trial (about ).-
ANSWER:
Acai berry pills are a waste of money and don't work. The juice may taste nice but neither the juice nor the pills will help you.You are right to be worried about ordering on line - there are a lot of scams around. Type in "acai berry scams" to the search for questions and read answers. Many people have lost a lot of money.

QUESTION:
What do you think to this weight loss pill?
I know healthy eating and exercise is the best way to loss weight but however i want something to help me lose weight quickly and easily, im thinking of buying these weight loss pills called Grenade they have the following ingredients in -500mg Ma Huang
300mg Caffiene
200mg Tyrosine
10mg Chromium polynicotinate
200mg Coleus forskhliiDoes anyone know these pills and do you think that they will be safe?
Serious answers only please!-
ANSWER:
Okay, well lets go through the ingredients.Ma Huang is Ephedrine, which is a stimulant, which increases your metabolism, so encouraging weight loss.
Caffeine is the ingredient in Coffee that stimulates your body and mind. The increased stimulation should make you excercise more and help you lose weight.
Tyrosine is converted to dopamine in the body which increases stimulation, helping excercise, and also can lead to the production of an appetite-supressing chemical, making you less hungry.
Chromium polynicotinate helps you to metabolise glucose, cholestral and fat and promotes the loss of fat.
Although Coleus Forskohlii hasn't been proven to encourage weight loss, it is thought to promote the production of testosterone, which leads to increased stimulation.
So basically, as long as you take the recommended dosage, this should be perfectly safe. It could make you very stimulated and jittery though, but except for that it should be fine and help you to lose weight.

You realize that weight loss pills are never all natural. Most contain a type of laxative, which is what helps you lose weight. It's not fat weight though, just water. Over time laxatives will hurt your body if taken regularly. Diet pills are not safe nor should teens be using them.

QUESTION:
Is there a protein/weight loss shake that's safe for a nursing mother?
I'm breastfeeding, but I'd like to lose weight with the help of shakes and snack bars in addition to eating healthy and being active. Preparing meals is difficult with two in diapers. What are my options and are there specific ingredients I should be wary of in weight loss shakes and snack bars? I'm looking for meal replacements as well as snacks.-
ANSWER:
Now whenever it comes to weight loss you should follow these simple steps that have helped me tremendously lose weight, pretty quickly if you ask me. And I've been trying to lose weight forever and finally found the correct system to help me out...The first thing you need to do is about 30 minutes of cardio everyday, try to get at least 3-4 days of that people...Exercising is one very important issue you don't want to be lazy in.
The second thing you should realize is that you cannot eat everything in sight that probably got you looking the way you are right now or the reason you want to lose weight. The pounds come with the food you eat. How do you stop yourself from eating and get a little boost with ousting fat from the food you eat? Simple...
The third and final step is the correct natural weight loss supplement. For me, I found Proactol to be the best. Now this isn't aimed towards lazy people that want to take a pill and sit on the couch all night and day. These are to tremendously help out with dieting and exercising. For me they were great because with my diet, they basically take out up to 28% of the fat you intake. Not to mention the killer appetite suppressant Proactol is. Every day you will fall under your calorie intake and find yourself one more day closer to your goal.
These steps really worked for me, you should try them out for yourself even if you want to lose very little or that extra mile. Also at the time of my 3 month supply purchase of Proactol, I saved a lot of money on it at theweightlossplace .com
Good luck and I hope this helps you out for your weight loss goals.

QUESTION:
What's the best natural ingredient supplement to aid with my weight loss?
I work out 5 days a week and keep my calories around 1,400 a day. I'm losing about a pound or two a week, and I still have a ways to go before I reach my goal.
Does anyone know a safe and natural supplement that I can take that can help with my weight loss? I'm not someone who likes to take supplements of medication, but I'd like to find something that can help along the way.-
ANSWER:
You should check out products that focus on Leptin.
Leptin is a hormone manufacturered by the body, and it's the communication link between the brain and fat cells - it sends the clear message of when you're full.
With out poor diets and other environmental factors, these messages get confused.
Products with Leptin can help 'clean up' the message, so your brain gets a crystal clear signal to stop eating.
You can find out more at one of these products - Mandura Trim - at http://jonrpatrick.mandurarep.com/mandura-trim.php.
A review of the product is found at my squidoo page on it.

QUESTION:
Is this cereal okay for weight-loss?
It's called 'Mapletons Fru Grains'My Dad who introduced me to this cereal only a few weeks ago. Apparently he remembered the stuff from childhood and was suprised, upon discovering it in the health shop, to find it still available. It has a box design that clearly hasn't changed in at least 20 years and the stuff looks like pieces of bark. But he'd had quite an addiction to it and implored me to at least try a piece, despite the grim appearance. And bugger me if a wasn't delicious. Made from fruit and various cereals (but all magically formed into these bark pieces) it seemed healthy enough so I started having a bowl for breafast.
I've only just noticed on the ingredients list though that it contains 'molasses', which from what I understand is a type of sugar.
Is this just as bad as refined sugar in terms of weight-loss?The ingredients go as follows:
Fruit (dates, figs, vine fruits), wholemeal flour, dextrose, molasses, bran, hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, wheatgerm
http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/799512.html-
ANSWER:
Actually there is more sugar in this cereal than meets the eye. Dextrose is also sugar. Figs and dates are often pretty sugar laden dried fruits.The good news is that overall the cereal is better than the commercial high sugar cereals. The cereal is also a good natural source of many nutrients.
It all depends on how much of this cereal you eat. Using cereal as a weight loss program can work. It is easy to measure the cereal and thus helps you control portion size. Some cereal companies like Kellogg (Special K) suggest using 2 cereal meals a day as a diet.
It is entirely possible to gain weight using cereal - watch that you don't use milk or a milk substitute with fat content, if you add fruit make sure it is does not have a heavy sugar syrup.
Generally, sugar, honey, molasses, are not good in large quantities, and your cereal sounds like a good choice.

Desperately in need of useful weight loss supplement to help lose 30lbs gained during pregnancy. HELP!!
I've been doing some research and discovered that the best weight loss supplement combination is 25mg Ephedrine, 200mg caffeine, and 5mgs Yohimbe. However, I haven't been able to locate a supplement that contains these ingredients. Do you know of any? Also, what are the best sites to find these products?-
ANSWER:
This is not a healthy way to loose weight but it's your life and your choice. I am loosing weight the natural and healthy way on a no diet weight loss plan. I have lost 30 pounds in just over 40 days and I did not skip meals, buy or eat special foods, nor did I have to take drugs. The ingredients in this natural weight loss plan are awesome and this plan is simple and it only takes 15 minutes a day to implement into your life. I generally eat fairly healthy, salads on occasion, fruits, my veggies, grilled or broiled vs fried but I do still eat fast food a few times a week with my kids but it has not stopped my weight loss. Also I have not exercised as I cannot physically due to lower back problems. Whatever your choice is best wishes to you and I know you can do it the naturally and healthy way because I am and I'm 45

QUESTION:
how good is diet soda regarding your weight loss?
i have been doing a strict diet. i keep mostly to water these days and no juices or anything with carbs.
recently istarted drinking diet soda which claims to have 0calories, 0 carbs, now i know that there are other chemicals and ingredients that are harmful, health wise.
my question is as far as weight loss only..is diet soda good or worse?is it like drinking regular soda? will i gain weight or loose should i continue drinking that?
thanks-
ANSWER:
Diet soda is not like regular soda in that it does not contain calories or sugar that are bad for you. However, diet soda has been studied to make the drinker hungrier and want to snack more. Also, there is a lot of debate over the chemicals and their health hazards. Me and my roommate have done a lot of research on this, being diet soda drinkers. I think that as long as you limit the amount of soda you are drinking, you will be fine. You should never eat or drink too many unnatural substances.

QUESTION:
Is there a weight loss supplement that has an ingredient called: Gymnema Sylvestre Extract?
I have a high blood sugar count and they say that this ingredient normalizes the sugar in our system.-
ANSWER:
It sounds like this ingredient is more likely for controlling diabetes than weight loss, but I'm guessing that's still relevant to you.Here's a page from the National Institute of Health.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print/druginfo/natural/patient-gymnema.htmlThey do mention PharmaTerra's product Proβeta®. The PT website describes the product as a way to improve blood-glucose levels. They sell the product here:

QUESTION:
Is diet soda counter-productive to weight loss?
I know that it is certainly not favorable to water for many reasons but, I have heard rumors that it some ingredients may actually slow down your weight loss potential. Is this so? And if so, why or how does it do that?-
ANSWER:
Diet Soda does not contain any calorie containing materials, so in that respect it is "healthy", yet it may be high in sodium (potentially bad for those with blood pressure problems). It also contains artificial sweetners, which according to studies are dangerous in very high quantities, but those are equivalent to volumes like 10 6 packs a day. The most damaging effect of diet sodas are the "sweetness" they consist of.When you consume large amounts of "sweet" tasting things, it only encourages the desire for the tast of sweet things be they calorie free or not. For example; if you were to not eat anything "sweet" for several weeks, would find you no longer have a craving for sweet things, whether calorie free or not. However, if you were to consume large quantities of diet soda during the same period, it would be much harder to resist the desire to eat sweet things.
So to sum it all up, use moderation in your consumption, and there should be no detrimental effects to health or weight loss.

QUESTION:
What is the recipe to this new special weight loss lemonade?
I seen on E!TV that there was a special lemonade drink made from cayenne pepper, honey, and some other stuff but I don't know the full ingredients. It was said that Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks drinking only that. If anyone had any information on it or a site please let me know, thank you =)-
ANSWER:
it's known as the Master Cleanse diet. I would avoid it if I were you though. that "lemonade" is all you're allowed to consume for 2 weeks. obviously you're going to lose weight--you're starving yourself! but you'll gain it all back the second you quit the diet. why not just try normal diet and exercise?http://mastercleansesecrets.com/step3.php

QUESTION:
Does coconut oil really work as a weight loss cure?
Do you have to mix it with any other ingredients? and what quantities/how often?-
ANSWER:
You know the strongest power any of us have is knowledge. Reading helps to achieve that power as does action. Coconut oil is a powerful oil that helps to stimulate your metabolism. Yes, it is a saturated fat...a healthy heart protecting saturated fat. Read the book The Coconut Miracle before you follow the leaders who diss coconut oil due to ignorance. I consume cocount oil on a daily basis and it has helped me to lose 8 lbs. It has also given me velevetty smooth skin. I use it on my athletes feet and it works better than Lamisil.

QUESTION:
What are the ingredients in Authentic Hoodia Gordonii?
You know those pills for weight loss, what kind of ingredients are in them or is it just chemicals and stuff.-
ANSWER:
Actually, Hoodia Gordonii IS the ingredient. It's the name of the tree that grows in Africa that naturally has appetite suppressing properties and has been used by the natives for centuries to help them suppress their appetites, whether it be during a long hunting trip when they run low on food or whatever the case may be.
It is perfectly natural and has more recently come into the world-wide market as a diet aid, but since then, it has also become a fad product because it works so well for so many people. Because of that, you have to make sure that wherever you buy it from is legit... just make sure the company has a good rating with either the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) or USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), as those are the main quality assurance organizations (USP is for the U.S., GMP is for the U.S. and worldwide).
Good luck and I hope I helped!

QUESTION:
why could Xanax cause weight gain? Ingredients listed. I will choose best answer asap
?
Inactive ingredients: Cellulose, corn starch, docusate sodium, lactose, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and sodium benzoate. In addition, the 0.5 mg tablet contains FD&C Yellow No. 6 and the 1 mg tablet contains FD&C Blue No. 2.
Active ingredients: Tablets contain alprazolam which is a triazolo analog of the 1,4 benzodiazepine class of central nervous system-active compounds.Have the ingredients anything to do with it or is it just because it may increase hunger or something?
Nobody seems to be able to tell me why it causes weight gain and sometimes even weight loss.
I haven't experienced either but I have only just been prescribed with it recently for anxiety and panic.
Thanks :]
Robin: while that is helpful to know, I REALLY wanted to know WHY it is symptom and WHY it can cause weight gain, if I didn't know it was "just a side effect" I wouldn,t be asking.
But thanks for answering the question about the ingredients, that is good to know, cellulose sounds ominous! but just looked it up and it's in plants and stuff. :]
Anyone who can tell me if it changes your appetite or if it's because I noticed it makes me drowsy and most mornings I'm too nauseas to eat anything and my appetite disappears til about dinnertime.
But I am nervous as a kitten about getting married, hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones that loses weight :]-
ANSWER:
The active and/or inactive ingredients in this medication does not cause weight gain or loss, but is part of just one of the side effects related to taking it. Being new to this medication i would caution you to the serious potential of being extreemly addictive and dependant upon. Be very cautious as to taking the exact dosage prescribed at the recommended time intervals.

QUESTION:
Help me with weight loss and muscle gain please!!! Which protein shakes are effective?
I go to the gym around 4 times a week, 3 of those days i do weights. I want to lose my stomach and love handles, and i am commited!!
Ive been told to try protein shakes, can u get them with fat burner ingredients? Is Hydroxicut any good?-
ANSWER:
Jacky has no idea what he's talking about. It is well documented that lifting weights burns calories (and continues to burn them longer than cardio).You don't need additional protein. Just eat a high protein, low fat, low carb diet.
You can't spot reduce your love handles. You must reduce your overall bodyfat.
Hydroxycut and all the other "fat loss" pills are bunk, don't waste your money. Just try to eat no more than a single serving (read the label) of foods with less than 3g saturated fats and 3g sugars.
Keep the cardio to a minimum in order to gain mass.
Good luck.

QUESTION:
Red Bull and weight Loss ?
Hi, Im just wanting to know if red bull the drink can help increase weight loss, as I got a can of it today and I read the back of it and it says increase metabolism, I know this is because of the caffine and the Taurine, but do you think if you were to drink it regulary everyday it will help you to loose weight. Ive tried the weight loss pills that have almost the exact ingredients they work for weight loss but dont agree with my body. I was just wondering if any one uses red bull for weight loss. Thanks for your help.-
ANSWER:
A few studies indicate that large amounts of caffeine — the equivalent of six cups of coffee a day — may slightly enhance weight loss in people who exercise and maintain a low-fat diet. But no studies indicate that weight loss from large amounts of caffeine is significant or permanent. There's also no evidence that increasing caffeine intake alone has any effect on weight loss.Is caffeine an appetite suppressant? Yes, but this effect lasts only a very brief period — not long enough to lead to significant weight loss. Does caffeine increase your body's ability to burn calories? Maybe, but again, probably not enough to result in significant weight loss.
Caffeine does act as a diuretic, which means it causes an increase in the amount of urine you excrete. This water loss may decrease your body weight. But it doesn't decrease body fat. Also, keep in mind that caffeine is a stimulant that can increase your heart rate and blood pressure, interrupt your sleep, and cause nervousness and irritability. Also, many caffeinated beverages are high in calories, which can contribute to unwanted weight gain.

QUESTION:
Safe supplements to assist in weight loss?
I'm trying to find a SAFE supplement to assist in my diet & exercise.. not a diet pill like hydroxycut or quick trim.. more like something to help in boosting my metabolism, giving me more energy etc. Preferablly natural ingredients. I also have a lot of weight to lose, and I'm young. Please help!!!-
ANSWER:
I have a long detailed explanation of why not to buy any diet supplement but I decided giving you the information on the right way to lose weight would be better.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, gain weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take a basic daily multivitamin. Don't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients. If you are a woman, you may want a plus iron formula.
Last, you HAVE to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the toxins it contains.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.
You will get motivated when the changes start happening, I promise.
Good luck.
