Weight Loss Supplements
Here is something essential to your well being: Providing your body the nutrients that it needs to make it through the day. The foods you eat often will not contain enough of the nutrients that your body needs to be in your best physical, and even mental, shape. While there is no need to replace a diet that is full of nutrients, the body sometimes needs additional supplementation to be at the most beneficial level. One of those times is during weight loss.
If you are dieting, healthy weight loss is important, and that is why I would like to talk about weight loss supplements – in a different light. These are not the supplements that come to mind to help you lose weight, these are the supplements to take while you are dieting to make it a fit fat loss event. And really, these are the supplements you will want to continue to take once you discover their benefits.
So, what are you to take? This is not an understatement… find a good quality multivitamin and take that as directed. Multivitamins are a good starting point because they provide a decent dose of supplements that just about everyone needs. They give you what your food doesn’t and are affordable solutions to your needs. Some even target specific age groups or deficiencies!
Next, find out what type of supplements are available for your individual needs since they will likely be exaggerated while your body is being stressed – it is undergoing changes from that diet you are on!
How do you know how much to take? Supplements come in varying strengths and can often be taken in various quantities. The most beneficial amount may not be the smallest amount. Taking a large amount may not have any additional benefit, may be wasteful, or worse, harmful. So, unless you know otherwise, start with the recommended dose. Then, if you are not getting the desired effect after a reasonable period of time, increase the amount you are taking as long as you don‘t exceed the maximum amount. …still no effect or ill effects? Then look at your situation closely: you might need to give it a bit more time to become effective; you might have chosen an inefficient variation of the supplement – switch to a different brand or an enhanced or fortified one. Gauge the ill effects if there are some. Would cutting back the dose alleviate them while still providing you with enough benefits?
There are a couple of precursory routes to take to help you find that optimum amount. First off, we know you will have already consulted with your physician before starting any special supplements. For popular vitamins and supplements, they will establish the recommended dosage. Ask them why THAT dose, how long will it take before you experience benefits, what side-effects might occur, and find out if there are any interactions between your current medications and supplements and this new supplement.
Second, locate a reliable health food store or a vitamin supplier. The ones we use have good, basic information on each supplement they sell. We also rely on a couple of books.
Quality is very important if you want to see benefits from supplementation so it is vital that you have a reliable source. Try to find one whose staff is knowledgeable enough that they can help you choose the best product for your needs. If they can offer tips on how to lose weight, all the better! If not, find a couple of reputable websites that offer help for supplementation and weight loss.
Plus, that’s where we will be stepping in over the coming weeks for you by providing already researched information. Again, quality is essential to success here – quality information and quality products. And this is the time you must take the initiative in educating yourself!
Supplements can help to improve your body’s function because you are giving your body exactly what it needs to do the work right. Make the effort to know what to take, in what amount, in order to keep your weight loss healthy and fit.

4 Fatloss Tricks No One Tells You About
[ Note: This article was written by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson. I have his permission to share it with you. I will be featuring his articles as a contributor on Fit Fat Loss. ]
There’s a club you should join. It’s called The Insider’s Club.
It is that club whose membership is based only on what secret goodies the members possess.
In our case, this is the Fatloss Insider’s Club. Only those in the know can join…. free to them of course… : )
So, if you want to get rid of some lbs…
FATLOSS TRICK 1
Eat Pizza?
Today I went for some New York-style pizza here in Austin, Texas.
Do I feel ‘guilty’? No way… in fact tomorrow I will feel LEANER.
What the what?
I had to set up my body for this bit of metabolic trickery of course. You cannot just “eat pizza” and shed the pounds… I wish you could!
But my personal System for fatloss not only “allows” pizza (and all my other favorite foods)… it DEMANDS that I eat it.
Here’s another true story: I blew off my “feed meal” (that’s what it is called in my System) four days ago. I have been on a massive fatloss roll for weeks now and frankly I just did not feel like eating a lot.
That’s another benefit of my System… it really cuts your appetite and food-cravings down.
Anyway, the next day in the gym I fell on my face! I was weaker and not any leaner. I went home, ate literally about 6000 cals and presto: Leaner than ‘ever’ the next day and ready to train hard.

FATLOSS TRICK 2
The 10-Minute Cardio Trick
If you want to just get into good heart health, you only need GXP Cardio (covered in the System mentioned above) 2-3 days per week for 9-15 minutes. That’s it.
However if you want to use “smart cardio” (not long, boring cardio) then you need a bit more. Just a bit.
It’s my 10-minute trick.
Start with just every other day. Then move to 4 days… and then 5.
If you are pressed for time, this is ideal. Even if you are not, it works like magic.
10 minutes in the morning ‘before’ you eat. Just make sure your heart rate is only about 65% of your max… in other words, you are not breathing super-heavy at all, but you are working up a sweat. That’s it.
10 minutes ‘before’ lunch. Just cut your lunch hour short by 10 minutes… that’s all. You don’t sweat enough to need a shower… don’t worry. Walking stairs works great, or walking outside… be creative!
Then 10 ‘harder’ minutes about 2 hours before you go to sleep. Get your heart rate up to where you are breathing a little harder.
That’s it.
You can even start with just two sessions of 10 minutes (morning and night) if lunch is out.
FATLOSS TRICK 3
Increase Your Fat?
Yep. I want you to eat more dietary-fat…. but I want you to replace some of your carbohydrates (starch like rice, potatoes, etc.) with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil and almonds.
Fat dulls the appetite and all three of the fats above actually help your body get rid of its fat-stores if you decrease carbs.
I have the plan laid out for you. More here:

FATLOSS TRICK 4
Think Resistance
Far better than cardio will ever be. That would be resistance training.
Either weight training or in-home resistance training using bands and bodyweight. Studies confirm what we fitness pros already know: Resistance training not only sculpts the body (cardio cannot) but it also burns 9-12x more bodyfat over the long-term than cardio.
But you need both. And both cardio and resistance training (in-home or in the gym) is worked into my book “7 Minute Body.”
