    Default Herbal Supplements For Fat Loss

    I'm curious about this. Christina Aguilera just released a statement about how she was taking some herbal supplement to help her lose fat, and it ended up getting her fired because it looked like she was taking drugs. I've always taken green tea blends and that does help, but what she was taking is called garcinia cambogia.

    Anyone have herbal recommendations? Of course I'm dieting and exercising, and I also don't really want to take any supplements that are synthetic unless it's a pre-workout matrix or added protein.

    I would not listen to celebs. But I have to say celebs have a very special life style, they have to travel so much, jet lags, work at night. September was not so easy month for me I could not exercise I was working and oh girl my body suffered cuz of that.
    I follow one channel on youtube, girl is mother of 2 kids and she is 30 y o. Her body is very fit just like i need. She recommend kelp(but if you have a thyroid issues have to be careful) and gotu kola. Im taking kelp well i dont see any changes.. i drink a gotu kola for almost a year no difference too. I need to lose like 13 lbs.
    i never knew how damn hard to lose a weight. Nutritionist made for me a plan, i lost 6 lbs in 2 days(it was a water weight) but after that nothing really changed.
    I could not give up latte, maybe that is a reason. I drink only grassfed milk and it is very fat.
    check this channel on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/gaugegirl82/videos

    ^^^ I don't listen to celebs or endorsements but I googled the herb she took (it's not like she's promoting a specific brand or anything anyway) and they all had really high reviews on amazon for fat loss

    On another forum that I am a member there was a thread about this. It got very mixed reviews. Some users swore by it and others said it did nothing for them- so I would think maybe you should just try it and see if it works for you?

    I went to Vitamin Shoppe recently, & was just wanting an energy drink (I know, they're bad) w/carbonation. So the guy showed me which were carbonated, & the one I got, Celsius, says it's healthy energy, burns body fat, & vitamin enriched.

    You probably already read this, but it seems it DOES have quite the weight loss effect IF taken the right way and at the right doses. I definitely plan on trying it after giving birth.
    Organic Matcha green tea, capsaicin, and fermented foods have done great things for me to get my metabolism back up there. But yah it's all in the quality of the product and how you take it.

    i just checked ingredients and still has a sucralose which is sugar substitute other name of it is splenda.
    have you tried just to drink coconut water?
    if you want energy and carbonated water just grab an orange squeeze it and add pierrie water, bam energy drink.

    I do not think Celsius is that bad for you. I am sure it is not GREAT for you but the company that makes it is local to me and my old PT trained the guy who founded the company. He was a super health nut. IMO all sugars and fake sugars are bad for you but the drink does actually burn calories and anything in moderation is ok- sometime you just need a little boost.

    There's a mix of coconut water/coffee, otherwise coconut water does nothing energy-wise for me @ least.
    There's nursejamie.com, she has vitamin B12 drops, which's supposed to give you energy

    I used to do shoots of vitamin c into vein and b12, b6 into butt cheek and even that did not help me LOL.

    What kind of problem? I dont think consuming grass fed liver is bad. Organ meat is better digestible than a muscle meat. Muscle is for protection does not have much of nutrients, organ meat has the best benefits.
    I had liver problem myself, compliantly recovered it. I went true some strong medication for my kidneys and it fucked my liver plus i was drinking alcohol my poor liver could not cope any longer.
    Try milk thistle for a better liver function and a dandelion root. I know person who is going true a chemo therapy milk thistle really helps him.
    Bad liver function affect energy lever really a lot. Your body does not detox well. Carbonated, sweet, fatty, alcohol, caffeine is verrryyy bad for liver.

    I just bought a bottle of Garcinia today. I took the first 3 tablets and don't feel any jitters or anything bad. I will post a review in a few days after I see how it goes for me.

    Don't mean to be rude by in my experience fat loss supplements are scams. I believe the only reason they work is because of the placebo effect. The only weight loss aid that is proven to help is Alli.

    ^^^ There's no way they are scams. I'm sure some are, but a lot are not.

    Literally every personal trainer and bodybuilder I've ever met uses some form of fat loss supplement lol. Even caffeine/green tea is a know weight loss aid.

    From what I've read it's only supposed to be used for about a month then you're on your own.

    I've tried Garcinia Cambogia and found it to be mildly effective in combination with a sensible diet and exercise regime. That (diet+exercise) is the key I suppose, but I'm sure you know that.
    Just now I'm taking a cheap supplement I bought off eBay that contains citrus aurantium also known as bitter orange peel. It's supposed to be like legal ephedrine. I actually liked the jitters of eph (didn't get any with Garcinia, it must be gentler on the system). So far so good with a few lbs down in a couple of weeks, I have lots of energy too. It's not a miracle but it helps.
