Question

Anyone ever tried coconut oil for this.

keep *******

Answer 2

CLA 1000 is quite a popular weight loss supplement, so is Hoodia Gordonii.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) works by reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle to give you a more defined shape whereas Hoodia Gordonii fools the brain into thinking you are full. Check out the Weight Control and Slimming category at http://www.quickvits.com/productspage/1/...

All supplements need to be used in conjuction with a balanced diet and regular excercise.

Answer 6

There is so much garbage out there in the field of herbal supplements, and most of them (99.9%) have no effect on weight loss, despite the claims that they make on the box. Instead, what I'd recommend is to consider the cause of the weight gain, and take action in a different way. For me, it was a mild depression that I wasn't even aware of. If that is the case for you, as it is for many people, taking the herb Rhodiola rosea on a daily basis can actually help a lot with weight loss. That's because it has a proven track record of mental uplift, and when you feel better about yourself, you feel less need to stuff your face. It also gives you the desire to be more energetic and this helps burn calories. When shopping for Rhodiola rosea, buy the Swedish variety called SHR-5 (an extract available in only a couple of Rhodiola products, one brand is Swedish Herbal Institute). I've tried several, and this one has all the clinical trials behind it and the absolute best quality. Good luck!

Answer 7

yes coconut oil helps, I prefer refined (your gettting the MCT and lauric acid in both so don't let anyone tell you that virgin is better). Coconut milk also helps. Ground flaxseed mixed with lowfat milk is also good. L-carnitine is another good one. These are the only few that have helped for me. best of luck to you.

Answer 8

Herbs can promote weight loss in a variety of ways. The action of certain herbs "trick" the brain into thinking the stomach is full, while others function thermogenically (speed up the body's metabolism).

How Thermogenic Herbs Work

Thermogenic herbs (most classified as stimulants) contain substances like caffeine that speed up body functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiration. Their effects may get you up off the couch and keep you moving. Some thremogenic herbs like green tea, nettle, and dandelion are safe as, or safer, than prescription and over the counter weight loss drugs.

Other herbs act as diuretics (water reducers) by causing water weight loss. Buchu and uva-ursi rid your body of excess fluid, but weight returns quickly when the herb is halted. Even though some can be very beneficial, others can be potentially dangerous and even toxic.

Beware These Herbs

It should be noted that the FDA (Food and Drug Commission) has linked the following to cause serious side effects and even death -- so AVOID THEM

    * Herbal Laxatives - Usually sold as a diet tea, cascara, senna, buckthorn, aloe and rhubarb root. These herbs can cause cramping, diarrhea, and if overused, could cause your bowels to no longer function without laxative stimulation.

    * Ephedra - Also known as ma huang, in high doses can raise blood pressure, increase heart rate, and over stimulate the central nervous system. The FDA reports more than 800 reports of side effects linked with the use of ephedra, including heart palpitations, seizures, stroke, chest pain, and heart attack. This herb has caused at least two deaths.

    * Herbal fen-phen - Ephedra is the main ingredient in the version of the dangerous diet drug known as fen fen. Herbal fen-phen has not been shown to even work in clinical trials, buy we know its misuse is associated with sever side effects, from heartbeat irregularities to death from heart attack and stroke.

What is Safe?

    * Cayenne - If you aren't plagued by spicy food, try sprinkling a dash of cayenne on your food. It contains an ingredient called capsaicin that stimulates saliva, stimulates digestion and accelerates your metabolism at a safer level.

    * Green Tea - This tea is a natural stimulant that behaves much like coffee but with the added benefit of vitamin C and flavoniods (compounds that are antioxidants). You can regulate the strength of the stimulant by steeping the tea quickly or for a long time. It can be purchased in a tea bag, or loose. It also is available in capsules, but is said to be better assimilated as a liquid.

    * Seaweed (Kelp) - A good source of trace minerals such as chromium and iodine, seaweed is a natural thyroid stimulant. It is usually contained in kelp capsules or tablets. If you suspect your weight problem is due to a thyroid problem, or if you currently take any thyroid medication, you should check with a doctor before taking kelp or seaweed.

Good luck! Remember your health is very important and herbal remedies should be viewed with the same precaution as taking any medication.

Answer 10

Look into Arginine. There are a lot of studies that show it helps build lean muscle. Arginine is a non essential amino acid that is mostly available from red meat. When trying to lose weight we skimp on high fat and calorie foods so we dont get as much arginine as our body may desire for optimal muscle growth. I use CardioMax which i order from the manufacturer, vitamist. It allows me to maximize my work outs with out getting so tired and out of breath because the arginine is also a precursor to nitric oxide which dialates the capillaries and helps with circulation and gets oxygen rich blood to the heart and muscles more efficiently. i have done a lot of researh on arginine and find that the one from vitamist is the best bet because it doesnt have all the unnecesary ingredients that other blends have. Just  5000 mg arginine 200 mg citrulline, B vitamins and vitamin D. Its a powdered drink so i just mix it with water and drink it about an hour before i go the gym. Its important you have a high protein snake/shake/meal with in an hour after working out, thats your "window". Your muscles will appreciate it.

Answer 11

Well this has been working for me, I have lost 27 lbs already.

1) Control your portion size.

2) Try to excercise more

3) Reward yourself every 5 lbs you lose

4) Took a all natural/organic supplement with high proteins and B-12 called Klamath Blue Green Algae. I take 4 a day 2 in the morning & before dinner.

This combination has been great for me, hope it helps you.

Blessings
