The Skinny on Supplements

Many people debate if a supplement for weight loss would be helpful. Many people lose weight and keep it off with out the use of weight loss supplements. Weight loss supplements are a big business. When Ephedra was legal it was a multi-billion dollar business. It went off the market because the effects were generally like a mild form of speed and highly addictive. Many weight loss supplements have a high risk of addiction and return of weight once you stop taking the pills. If you feel you really need a little extra boost for now there are a few nutrients that will help you health wise and are not addictive.
Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs) are quite helpful. MCFA's can be searched for by typing into google or knowing specific acids like CLA, Coccnut oil and Lauric acid are a few. Taking 2000-4000 mg a day will give the body the healthy fats that your body needs so it can burn the stored fat.
If you have worries about diabetes other helpful supplements are low doses of Chromium. Anytime you want to add supplements for weight loss or health, it is very important to talk to a health professional about what your concerns are, what you past health issues are and what is safe to take with any current medications. Also when you buy any products, make sure you buy high quality, essentially you get what you pay for. So the buy one get one free gallons of supplements that are sold at grocery outlets are not the best choice. If anyone is curious about some good brands please contact your doctor or even give me a call at my office.
