Safe and Effective Fat Loss Supplements Which are a MUST

Trying to lose weight is like looking for your missing diamond earring on the floor at a bar – it’s extremely frustrating. However, when/if you finally find the minuscule object your level of joy goes through the roof! Wouldn’t it be easier to find missing jewelry on the floor if you just ask the bartender for a flash light??

The flashlight is just like using supplements – why not speed things up a bit?

I am personally very careful with what I put into my body by making sure to do extensive research on each new fad that comes out on the market, so I am purposely leaving out some very effective but very unhealthy weight loss aids.  I am only sharing the supplements that I take myself almost every day and can vouch for:

• Protein Powder: If you don’t know why eating more protein supercharges your fat loss, read this. The problem is that the amount of the needed daily protein intake even for women is fairly large if you want to lose fat. There is no way you are going to eat that much chicken and egg whites in one day. Protein powder helps your cause. This one is the one I use and is my favorite due to the low amount of additives.
• Fish Oil: Fish oil provides essential fatty acids which have a myriad of heath benefits, one of them being  fat loss. The compounds that have shown the best results in scientific studies regarding fat loss are CLA and now EPA/DHA, all three being fats contained in fish oil. Don’t worry, the supplement companies add flavoring to the oil to make it not taste fishy. So a couple of tablespoons of this stuff per day is really no skin off your back at all. As a side-effect you will have an extra healthy heart and strong joints. My favorite brand is Carlson Laboratories.
• Wheat Grass: Wheat grass is a naturally nutrient dense food which is very low in calories and expands when water is added. It’s health benefits are endless and just 1-3 oz a day is all you need. Wheat grass contains over eighty different minerals, is high in fiber (can you say shit-a-lot?), and averages 25% protein (more than meat, fish, eggs, beans or dairy products). It is also more concentrated in iron than spinach but, unlike spinach, contains little or no oxalic acid, which binds the useable calcium in the system and can leach calcium from teeth and bones. Wheat grass has about as much magnesium as broccoli, brussels sprouts (who likes them?), beets and carrots. Magnesium is vital for muscle contraction and bowel health. Most importantly for you, wheatgrass acts as a natural appetite suppressant! It brings your body to a state where you metabolize fat much more efficiently because you are healthy! Although I know you are probably going to jamba juice for your daily shot, the BEST way to take wheatgrass is to grow and juice it yourself since the freshest grass has the most nutrients. It only takes pennies to grow wheatgrass. Just buy this kit once, and you can reuse it an unlimited amount of times.
• Caffeine: I personally don’t use caffeine since I am one of the few people in the world that are extra sensitive to it, although I truly believe it is a good supplement for energy and fat loss for those that tolerate it well. What caffeine does is increase free flowing fatty acids from your fat stores allowing you to access fat instead of carbs or lean muscle for energy. It also gives you a nice jolt right before your workout. So feel free to stop at Starbucks and get a shot or two of espresso before you work out. Just don’t take caffeine pills since they normally have extra bad stuff in them.

So there you have it, the 4 best supplements to help you on your journey.  There is absolutely no reason that you shouldn’t be taking them if you want to lose fat. If anyone has anymore that I have missed, please share.
