    Thumbs up One pill made me lose 10 lbs when nothing else helped

    I eat ok and I walk everyday for 20 min but I never lost any weight. Anyway I dont eat seafood and I never have and my friend at the GNC store told me that if I dont eat seafood or potatoes or somthing regularly then I'm missing iodine in my system and I should start taking kelp. Apparently iodine is what helps your metabolism start kicking. I waited about 2 weeks of taking the kelp supplement before I posted and I have alot more energy and I haven't done anything different (working out, eating habits) and I've lost 10lbs. I read online that if you take like 4 pills a day it will really help your metabolism burn fat faster. I am really starting to feel like I hit the jackpot lol!!

    Bullshit

    Again the argument that weight loss can be achieved by taking extra iodine to stimulate the thyroid glands is nonsense.

    There is no magic supplement that will make you lose weight. This sounds more like a placebo effect. You get told it's the magic cure, you try to, you tell yourself it's going to work....yeah.

    Even if it is a placebo effect, it's working for you. Right on!

    No, I don't. I live in the world of science and medicine. And in that world there is no magic pill. I believe that it may have balanced your body out, promoting better energy and more effective results from your exercise routine, but I don't believe kelp pills actually made you lose weight.

    The body works more efficiently when it's in balance. I believe in THAT.

    Salt is iodinized in the western world, just from salt you should get enough iodine to avoid thyroid conditions. The pituitary and thyroid are at play so I guess it would help if you have an endocrine problem... wheres Medio?? Isnt this her domain? I dont know much endocrine yet.

    I haven't watched this video yet, but it talks about iodine and acne. I'm not sure if iodine creates acne topically or internally...or perhaps there is new research that proves it neither. I just remember hearing about the connection once.

    I take kelp everyday myself!! The stuff is very helpful. Is it a perfect cure for burning fat? Of course not, you have to put in your effort for exercise and eating better but it does help, very much.

    Her success probably has to do with the fact that kelp contains the compound "fucoxanthin," which has been shown to help people lose weight. It's in the wakame I use to make miso soup.
