Basic supplements that can provide additional support to help you stick with your weight and fat loss program:
Compensate for Lost Nutrients Due to Calorie Reduction
A quality multivitamin multimineral supplement can prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and help maintain energy level, which helps people stay on their diet. Other helpful supplements are: fruit and vegetable plant concentrate and protein powder. Most people can benefit from taking Omega3 supplements, even if they're not on a diet. Fiber is almost always a good idea unless you have medical reasons for avoiding fiber.
Eating Less
As an optional supplement, you might find a safe appetite reduction product made from natural ingredients to curb appetite and reduce cravings. Use according to package instructions. You usually take this about half an hour before a meal. Eating high fiber foods can help you feel full without adding alot of calories. It also helps to put 25% less food on your plate so you wont be tempted to eat too much. Recommended serving sizes:
meat size of palm vegetables clenched fist leafy salads 2 fists ice cream 2 golf balls
We tend to assume larger portions are the norm. Portion sizes have increased over the years while farming practices have changed. With mass marketing we have many more food choices, but our produce is no longer picked at its peak ripeness because it has to travel long distances. Produce grown in soil with nutrients supplied by synthetic chemicals are bred to look good in the supermarket more than to contain maximum nutrients. Even when we think were eating well its difficult to keep up with our body's nutritional needs on a regular basis, dieting or not.
Adding Variety
Have some low-sugar, low-fat good-tasting snacks you can grab. This may include protein bars, and also sugar-free drinks.
Exercise Support
Energy drinks with low or no-calories that use B12 instead of caffeine can be useful. Limited carbohydrate sports drinks, with electrolytes and antioxidants can also be a great alternative to sugary drinks. Rhodiola can be useful for maximum performance.
Water
Remember water! It might be useful to have a quality water filter if you're using a lot of water, which you can probably afford if you cut out the junk food, snacks and sodas. How do you know you're getting enough water? I'm told to make sure your urine is light yellow with only a faint aroma, and that number two comes out with a nice curve rather than like pebbles. Another benefit: Water eases hunger pangs. When you're hungry drink a large glass of plain water and see if you're still hungry 15 minutes later.
Another Tip
When you take supplements, don't take them all at once. Think about how nutrients are made available to you by nature. Spread out your supplements during the meal because that's how nature intended for us to get our nutrients.
