I'm looking for a supplement to accelerate fat loss. I'm very overweight, but on a good routine now, and basically want any extra push I can get - I hate treadmills and need to get down to a weight where I can run outdoors!!!

There are supplements that speed up fat loss? Seems like a waste of money to me. I'd just stick to the best method of weight loss; eat healthier and move more. You'll get there eventually, just don't get discouraged if it feels like it's taking a long time.

If there's a lot of fat to lose, I wouldn't waste your money. Heck, I wouldn't waste the money in most instances.

Stick to the basics consistently and the fat will come off.

Best to ya.

There are some stuff that could help. IMHO I would stay away from those so called diet pills waste of time. But I would maybe get some nutritiona bars that would help curve your hunger. Have you heard of Control Bars, I have tried them and they are good, they also have been a big hit. call 800-898-6888 I think thats a customer service number you can call and you might be able to get some free samples I think. Thanks.

I found that drinking a GALLON of water per day will greatly increase your metabolism, which is what most of those pills do. Water is by far cheaper than pills. Its also not dangerous as long as you don't drink 2 or 3 gallons in one sitting.

Another cheaper way to increase your metabolism and burn fat is by eating non-salted pretzels every 15-30 minutes. If you get the big ones, just eat one. If you get the small ones, 3-5 should do it. Your body will have a constant food supply and won't hold onto the fat.

Its easy to do at work, just put them in a ziplock bag and put them in your pocket. Eat and drink all day, and that works a lot better than sups. I've done both and eating and drinking is far healthier, IMO.

The best supplement: EDUCATION in what your fitness goal IS.

There is no magic diet. But there is a magic supplement. Its education.

Educating yourself in what you are doing, and manipulating when necessary.

In its most basic--format:

If one could eat enough salad (and I mean just the lettuce) in one day (if this were possible), and it was more than they needed, one could get fat, if the trend was long enough.

This "what" (the lettuce) isn't healthy to eat all time, however ().

It is not "what you eat", but "how much of what you eat that matters" (from the whelm of the basics), and the "what you eat" (and "when you eat it"), can be personal manipulations within one's diet--that can be made powerful, when coupled with "how much of what you eat and when you eat it". If this makes sense.......lol.

The "not what you eat" and "how much of what you eat that matters" opinion:

This is found in learning your basic and fundamental approximate calorie needs, personally specific to you. And, modified in accordance to the goal you are after: Calorie Deficit for fat loss, and Calorie Surplus for weight gain.

In its most raw and basic format.

Keeping things "equal", cut calories down from your activity level of calories and lose tissue. For some the "type" of food simply will not matter all that much, as along as an appropriate calorie deficit is present.

However........

Now, we move to the "what you eat" (and "when you eat it"), and personal manipulations within one's diet--that can be made powerful, and needed for some that have certain complications with nutrients and types of foods (such as fructose types carbohydrates, Lactose, and so on).

One lost quite a bit of weight, just cutting calories. However, they hit a plateau, and tissue loss stopped, and they become frustrated. There body fat is low, but its not near the place they want.

This is where "manipulating what you eat, and when you eat it" is very powerful--------->and does matter.

You take what you have learned in the calorie basics (of yourself), and manipulate the macro nutrients (thus changing "what you eat and the content of what you eat"), and may even change "when you eat it" as compared to the "easy weight loss" period.

Soul of this post:

1. Learn your personal calorie needs.

Adjust according to your personal goals. Educate yourself on all the dietary basics as much as feasibly possible. Learn about foods and their nutrient content, etc.

2. Learn how to manipulate the calorie and macro nutrients.

This is important because there may be in time in your goal path, where this WILL BE REQUIRED for you to progress further.
