Natural Weight Loss Supplements

Natural Supplements & Remedies

Are there natural weight loss supplements and remedies that can help on your journey to weight loss? Weight loss is not just about looking better; it is about being healthier.

You are about to find out.

Our judgment is that there are.

However, the most important physical activities to help you lose weight and achieve permanent, natural weight loss are exercising and eating well. This website presents a comprehensive program for both effective exercising and healthy eating.

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. In other words, neither nutrition supplements or natural weight loss supplements replace exercising and eating well.

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. However, 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 work for others. There is not one best natural weight loss supplement or remedy for all. You are a unique individual.

As such, you need to determine 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 (for example, Wildman and Miller's SPORTS AND FITNESS NUTRITION) and periodicals that we suggest. To see those recommendations visit our web page: Learning How.

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

It should 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.

If you'd like more information about either of these recommendations, just contact us.

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, the monthly newsletters we recommend occasionally have objective rankings.

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. If you would like our opinion, just contact us.

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! 6X

With respect to 6X nutrition, it's acceptable to replace a homemade meal with sports (engineered) food once or twice daily (but only when eating 6 smalls meals 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 nice as the best tasting candy bars, we personally avoid them in favor of protein shakes, which have macronutrient percentages that work better for us.

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.
