Weight Loss Supplements Guide  

 

 
Below is a guide to selecting appropriate nutritional supplements to achieve your goals. Unfortunately, there are no fast answers or quick fixes when it comes to losing weight. Supplements can optimize your weight loss efforts, but to maintain your target weight you will need to make an effort to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.
   
     
  Bars, shakes and meal replacements:  
  Nutritional bars, shakes and meal replacements are a good way to supplement a healthy weight loss plan. They are quick and easy, provide instant portion control, and many contain important vitamins and nutrients.Products to try:  LOW CARB AND DIET BARS, BALANCE BAR, CHEF JAY'S (Tri-O-Plex), CLIF BAR, CYTOSPORT, EAS (AdvantEdge), EAS (Myoplex), LABRADA, MET-RX, NATURE'S BEST (Isopure), NEXT NUTRITION, OPTIMUM NUTRITION, POWERBAR, PREMIER NUTRITION.
     
     
  Thermogenics:  
  Thermogenics are weight loss supplements that work to increase metabolism, causing the body to burn more calories while boosting energy. Many thermogenics also help suppress appetite. The two main categories of thermogenic supplements on the market are stimulants and thyroid regulators. CLICK HERE TO VIEW ALL THERMOGENICS  
   
     
  Blood Sugar Regulators:  
  Blood sugar regulators help to moderate the release of insulin or stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing appetite and cravings and leading to fat loss.  
 
  • Gymnema: Helps control blood sugar levels by suppressing the transport of glucose from the intestines into the bloodstream. Thus, insulin is moderated which helps control hunger and cravings. Products to try: Xyience XCFB
  • Glucomannan: A soluble fiber that binds with other substances in the digestive tract to slow digestion. This helps regulate blood sugar levels by reducing the absorbtion of fat and carbohydrates in the intestines. Moreover, glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water which can lead to a feeling of fullness and suppress appetite. Product to try: TRIM SPA X32.
  • Chromium: A mineral that helps to regulate blood sugar and improve glucose tolerance, helping to suppress appetite. Products to try: MUSCLETECH Hydroxycut, TWINLAB Chromic Fuel
 
     
  Neurotransmitter regulators:  
  These supplements help balance neurotransmitters responsible for regulation of mood and appetite, such as serotonin, norepinephrine and/or dopamine.  
 
  • 5-HTP (or 5-Hydroxytryptophan): Low levels of the brain chemical serotonin is responsible for depression and increase in appetite. Serotonin levels drop during a dieting phase, and this may lead to increased cravings for carbohydrates. 5-HTP boosts serotonin levels and thereby helps control the appetite. 5-HTP should not be used by individuals who are currently taking SSRI or MAOI antidepressants. Products to try: NOW 5-HTP (100mg) , PrimaForce 5-HTP
  • Others: Products to try: UNIVERSAL NUTRITION Animal Cuts (Ephedra Free)
 
     
  Carbohydrate Blockers and Fat Blockers:  
  Carbohydrate blockers contain the ingredient phaseolamin, an extract of the white kidney bean. Phaseolamin inhibits alpha amylase, a key enzyme in the digestion process of carbohydrates. Digestion is slowed, and less carbohydrate is converted to glucose in the body. Since excess glucose is often converted into body fat, carbohydrate blockers may help avoid the storage of new body fat. Fat blockers contain the ingredient chitosan, made from the shells of shellfish. Chitosan is thought to bind to fat molecules in the digestive tract, preventing the body from absorbing excess fat. More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of chitosan. Products to try: VIEW ALL CARB/FAT BLOCKERS, UNIVERSAL NUTRITION Carb Block, UNIVERSAL NUTRITION Chitosan Plus (fat blocker)  
     
     
  EFAs (essential fatty acids):  
  Essential fatty acids are “good” fats that include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These fats, found in sources such as fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, evening primrose oil, etc. help to regulate the body’s glucose/insulin response and may also lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. When cutting calories, it is important to consume healthy fats such as these so the body does not go into “starvation mode.” Consuming EFAs will also help keep hunger in check.

  Others:   
  There are other fat burning supplements that do not fall into the above categories.  
 
  • Pyruvate: A form of pyruvic acid, pyruvate is synthesized in the body and consumed in food. Pyruvate assists in the production of ATP, an important biological energy source, and has been shown in studies to significantly increase fat loss when paired with exercise and a healthy diet. Animal studies show that pyruvate may increase metabolism and reduce insulin resistance. Additional research findings indicate that pyruvate may also increase exercise endurance, further helping to promote fat loss. Products to try: NOW Pyruvate (1000mg), PINNACLE Pyruvate - 1000 mg
