Weight Loss Supplements–You Don’t Need Them
People waste millions of dollars every year on weight loss supplements. Save your money folks. You could use that money to get some reliable exercise and nutrition advice from a fitness professional such as myself!
If you are depending on weight loss supplements to lose weight, you will be disappointed. Research has proven that these supplements have no long-term benefit. Also, some of these supplements could be harmful to your health.
Burn fat and lose weight with hard work through a well designed fitness and nutrition program–AND PATIENCE. There are no shortcuts to long-term fitness and health!
Use regular exercise (strength training and interval cardio exercise) to burn the body fat, lose the weight and keep it off for good!
GET THE NUTRITION YOU NEED MAINLY FROM FOOD! SUPPLEMENTS ARE JUST THAT—-SUPPLEMENTS……You have to eat enough to feed and build your muscles. A toned, muscular body will burn the fat and keep it off!
If you are on a severe calorie restriction diet, you are losing weight (mainly muscle mass loss) but not building muscle! And, this is where the trouble starts. When you are focused on quick weight loss instead of fat loss, this will give you even more weight regain (yo-yo effect) when you begin to eat right.
So, eat enough during the day—a small meal about every 3-4 hours (calculate your calorie needs). And don’t skip your post-workout meal. You don’t have to eat immediately after your workout. There is a 30-45 minute “window of opportunity” where replenishing your body’s fuel (carbs, protein, fats) will optimize your tissue’s repair and muscle growth. If you miss this “window of opportunity” it is gone forever. A carb/protein shake will work well.
Many of you don’t have the willpower to reach your fat loss goals. There are many reasons for this. I won’t play doctor here but your motivation needs to be realistic. Unrealistic goals (like lose 30 pounds in 10 days) can leave you mentally and physically exhausted with disappointing results.
Here’s some other motivation tips for you:
1. These types of motivations will work: a) exercise and eat right because its good for YOU and YOU CARE ABOUT YOU and b) exercise because you enjoy it (find exercise types that you enjoy)!
2. Set short-term and long-term goals. A good short-term goal would be to cut sugary foods and drinks from your diet for the week. A longer term goal would be to follow your total meal plan for a week, two weeks, etc. Reward yourself with each victory!
You could do the same type thing with exercise….maybe you can’t do sprint cardio intervals just yet. Start with fast-walking cardio intervals, work up to jogging intervals and then sprint cardio intervals.
You can reach your fat loss goals! Stay with it—YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Fat Burn Supplements for Your Butt, Hips and Thighs?
Are you still trying to burn fat and shape your butt, hips and thighs the way you want them? Keep trying! The hard work will pay off. If you’ve spent money on fat burn supplements in hopes of burning significant body fat, you can stop. These supplements are not the answer to your fat loss woes.
Take a look at this ridiculous advertisement that talks about getting rid of your cellulite:
“The only clinically proven dietary supplement to help reduce cellulite in 47 days!” (this statement has not been examined by the Food And Drug Administration)
“This scientifically advanced version…..can really help give millions of women the sexy bottom lines they dream about, and that’s a formula for success that women everywhere find as easy to swallow as these little brown pills.”
Don’t buy these little brown pills! They won’t make your cellulite disappear. Your best chance to get rid of cellulite is to burn body fat and eat healthy.
Cellulite is collections of fat just underneath (subcutaneous fat) the skin which causes it to dimple, pucker up or lump up. There are many factors that determine whether you have cellulite—your genes, gender, skin thickness and amount of body fat all play a part. What you need to know is that there are no quick fixes for cellulite.
Shape and tone your butt, hips and thighs (and your total body) primarily with consistent strength training. Strength training helps you tone, shape and strengthen muscle fibers, minimizing the “fatty marbling” within the muscle that results in flabby, weak muscles. In addition, not only will you increase muscle mass and overall body tone, but the benefits of exercise also include increased metabolic rate and improved bone density.
Add more full body strength exercises to your workout routine such as: deadlift, squat-to curl-to press, medicine ball chops, walking lunges with ball twist, bulgarian split squats-to shoulder press and medicine ball throws. You will burn more fat.
Short interval cardio sessions, such as sprint or jump intervals, also work well to really burn fat and shrink your body. At best, fat burn supplements will only give you a temporary boost.
