Weight loss supplements - tools for your weight loss arsenal
I have said it before - weight loss is a matter of burning more
calories than you consume. However, any time you can use a tool
to make things easier - why wouldn't you? Weight loss
supplements are a tool that can help you speed your metabolism,
curb hunger, or even absorb some of your calories which come
from fat or carbs.
Here is a brief introduction of some weight loss supplements in
the different categories:
Thermogenics - Thermogenics are usually a stimulant which
contains one or more of the following: Ma-Huang, Caffeine, Green
tea, Synephrine, or Guarana. The goal of thermogenics is to
accelerate fat burning past the point of diet alone as well as
give you energy and decrease appetite. Thermogenics are not for
everyone especially if you are sensitive to stimulants or have
any type of medical condition. Always check with your doctor
first.
Appetite suppressant - Hoodia is the name you will hear come up
when you are talking about suppressing your appetite. It has
been said that tribesman used hoodia gordonii before a long hunt
in order to control their appetite. It is said that hoodia sends
signals to the brain leading the brain to think that the body is
full. If your weight loss efforts seem to be hindered by a
massive
appetite - Then perhaps hoodia is for you. Look for pure
hoodia on the label.
Carb Blockers - Carb blockers reportedly prevent the body from
absorbing some of the unwanted starches. The active ingredient
is phaseolus vulgaris otherwise known as white kidney bean
extract. I don't think anyone believes that taking a carb
blocker will give you free access to all the carbs you want to
consume but may be of benefit to the occasional cheater.
Fat Blockers - The active ingredient in a fat blocker is
Chitosan. Chitosan has the ability to bind fats and cholesterol
before they are absorbed by the body. Taken right after a meal,
fat blockers will absorb some of the fat from your diet and
allow it to pass through. Some reports indicate that Chitosan
can absorb 7 times its weight in fat. Chitosan is a fiber
derived from the shells of shellfish such as shrimp.
Choose your weight loss supplements wisely. Purchase a well
known brand from a reputable dealer and expand your weight loss
tools arsenal.
