Although exercise can play an important role in helping you lose weight, prevent further weight gain or regain, your eating habits will represent the primary way to shed those unwanted kilos. Although it might sound easy – to simply put less food in your mouth – the reality is that reducing calorie intake is a HUGE problem for most of us.

NONE of the ingredients outlined below should be viewed as anything remotely close to a “magic bullet” to help “melt” away fat. The most effective supplement combination was ACE pack (Aspirin, Caffein, Ephedra), which is now been outlawed due to the severe side effects of Ephedra or Ma Huang. However, it only achieved a maximum of 8% increase in base metabolic rate. Assuming a person of average weight with a sedentary lifestyle has a base metabolic rate of about 1600 kcal/day, this is only about 128kcal/day, the equivalent of a short walk.

Supplements commonly promoted for weight loss:

Banaba Leaf
Chitosan
Chromium
Citric acid
CLA
Green Tea
Guarana
Gymnema
Pyruvate
St. John’s Wort
White Willow Bark
