Weight Loss Supplements

About Weight Loss Supplements

Weight Loss Supplements are designed to assist weight management programs or fat loss. Weight loss products vary in the way they may assist fat / weight loss. Some weight loss products are designed to mobilise fat and transport it into a cell to be burned as fuel during exercise or may consist of appetite suppressant supplements to curb hunger. Other weight loss / fat burning supplements include thermogenic supplements which increase thermogenesis or the body's temperature enabling you to burn calories as heat instead of being stored as fat. All of  these products support weight loss to help you achieve the lean, toned physique you desire.

Common questions that arise are, "what is the best method for fast weight loss" and "the best way to lose abdominal weight?". Let's face it, we all want to maximise the results of our efforts with food management, exercise and weight loss products. Any good weight loss program will help you gradually lose weight, though a 20 lbs in 2 weeks menu may look a little empty and malnourished. It is important, for long term success, that we ensure we are not losing lean body mass (I.e., muscle), and that we only supplement with the highest quality products. For instance, the humble green tea is a well known fat loss aid. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2009 indicated that Green Tea catechins enhance exercise-induced abdominal fat loss. This is not overly surprising, however, given that quality green tea has already been demonstraed to increase 24 hour energy expenditure and inhibit the fat-digesting enzyme called lipase. Green Tea is also an excellent anti-viral and antioxidant.

Furthermore, while losing weight we should still ensure that we eat plenty. You see, weight loss is more about changing what we eat, rather than how much we eat. For instance, instead of two battered fish fillets, piled up with chips and a small side salad we could try two small to medium grilled fish fillets with fresh lemon, a small baked potato and a large salad with low calorie dressing. If we just start cutting back on eating in general we may end up not getting enough of the important nutrients that keep us healthy, like vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, essential fatty acids, fibre and the essential amino acids found in quality protein food. This makes weight loss programs—which should not be about starvation—less about punishment and misery, and more about health and vitality. Sounds good, right?

The weight loss programs worth following are the ones that focus on sustainability of weight (fat) loss, with a general improvement in health. It has been well proven that if we lose more muscle mass during a weight loss program (which may look good on the scales) we are more likely to experience re-bound weight gain once the program is finished. This also dimishes our general health too, as muscle not only helps us get around, but is an important reservoir of essential amino acids that our body relys upon to keep us healthy. A qualty protein powder used during weight loss programs has been shown in clinical trials to reduce rebound weight gain.
