Natural Weight Loss Supplements
the natural supplements and remedies

Weight loss should not just be about looking better; it should also be about being healthier.

Dietary aids, sports foods, and ergogenic aids are used by athletes to seek a competitive edge in achieving performance and aesthetic goals.

However, our primary concern is not with athletes; rather, it's with those who are interested in natural weight loss and being healthier.

Are there natural weight loss supplements and remedies that people seeking healthy weight loss can use to fortify their efforts?

Our judgment is that there are.

However, the most important physical activities to help you lose body fat and achieve permanent, natural weight loss are eating well, exercising well and recovering well. This website presents a comprehensive program for doing all three.

If you are following the program set out on this website, please concentrate your efforts on ensuring that you are engaging in regular strength and fitness exercise as well as following an eating plan with macronutrient percentages that work well for you and getting sufficient rest and recovery.

In other words, even if they are helpful, neither nutrition supplements or natural weight loss supplements replace eating, exercising, or recovering well. They are only supplemental.

There are websites devoted to evaluating natural weight loss supplements and remedies. Finding a well-informed evaluator that you like is similar to finding a movie critic you like. There are some excellent ones.

There are many natural weight loss supplements to choose from, such as herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and mineral supplements.

What works well for some, however, doesn’t necessarily work well for others. There is no one best natural weight loss supplement or remedy that works well for everyone. You are a unique individual.

So, if you use any, you need to determine for yourself which natural weight loss supplements or remedies will work best for you.

With rational skepticism. It's valuable to question without being negative. There are effective products, but the truth is that objective clinical research is either lacking or equivocal for most supplements.

Even where there is solid evidence, remember that it applies to populations, not individuals. Never forget that individuals vary greatly.

For example, suppose that you and I both supplement with creatine. It might only upset my stomach, whereas for you it might enhance the creatine phosphate levels in your muscles, which improves your power performance in the gym and increases your lean body mass.

Same supplement, different results. So, does creatine supplementation work? Yes (for some) and no (for others).

The best method is to make rational decisions based on your own experience.

Begin by continuing to read. Read the kinds of books and periodicals that we suggest. To see those recommendations visit our web page: Learning How. We also list several at the bottom of this page.

Your Supplements

If a natural weight loss supplement or remedy makes sense to you and appears to have little downside, consider experimenting with it.

If you do and your actual results improve, terrific! If it doesn't improve anything, at least you will have learned that, for you, it wasn't effective. Don't expect super fast results. Nothing will work overnight.

There are no experts about the future. Nobody really knows which natural weight loss supplement or remedy you should or shouldn't take.

What works best for us in relation to nutrition supplements is to avoid missing supplements that may be important while not spending money on those that are unnecessary. If you agree, we have two suggestions for you.

First, complete a relevant questionnaire that you trust. Your physician may ask you questions or you may find one online. A good set of questions should take half an hour or so to complete. It should ask about your medical history, your dietary and exercise patterns, and current lab test results (for example, about blood pressure and serum cholesterol).

It should also give you recommendations based on your answers. This will help ensure that you are not failing to take beneficial supplements that may be right for you.

Second, when the appropriate nutrigenomic (nutrients + genes) supplements are available, in general we recommend that you seriously consider taking whatever genetic tests are available.

Some manufacturers of nutrition supplements or natural weight loss supplements are much better than others are. Buy from the best sources. There are objective evaluations available online.

In addition, there are some excellent monthly newsletters that have objective rankings. (Consider starting with Consumer Reports.)

We don't know if they are the best, but there are about half a dozen sources of nutritional supplements and weight loss supplements and remedies that we trust.

Supplements We Don't Use

Over the years, we have tried many natural weight loss supplements and products and stopped using some because they didn't seem to work for us.

Using any natural weight loss supplements, remedy, or product is like shooting into the dark: one never knows what will happen. Something that doesn't work for others may work for you and vice-versa.

In our judgment, unless they are prescribed by a physician, the following products are not worth using because they are either ineffective or even counter-productive or dangerous: arginine, ornithine, lysine, aspartic acid, boron, branched chain amino acids, carnitine, choline, chromium, DHEA, androstenedione, glutamine, glycerol, HMB, medium chain triglycerides, ribose, bicarbonate, phosphate, potassium, lactate, [supplemental] oxygen, sodium, amino acid mixtures, and, for most people, external nasal dilator strips.

We also recommend avoiding all the stimulants, anabolic agents, diuretics, street drugs, peptide hormones and analogs, and other products banned by the International Olympic Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and other athletic governing bodies such as the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.

Caveat emptor!

With respect to 5X or 6X nutrition, it's acceptable to replace a homemade meal an engineered food once or twice daily. In general, we believe it's better to make your own shakes and meals. However, that can be difficult or impossible when you are traveling or at work.

Although there are meal replacement bars available today that are nearly as delicious as the best tasting candy bars, we personally avoid them in favor of protein shakes, which have macronutrient percentages that work better for us. Really pay attention to the grams of carbohydrates in such products.

There are many good ones available. Experiment to find out which you enjoy the most and which work best for you.

However, fresh, organic natural foods are better for you than sports foods.
