Weight loss supplements Faq

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

I’m a 15 year old, can I take weight loss supplements?

Even though I have a good fat to muscle ratio, i still a lot of fat around my stomach, thighs and pecks. But I heard about this thing called “Ultra Lean Green”, it’s simply a powder you put to a bottle of water to make into green tea, and supposedly it works really well. Are there any health issues I should be worried about because of my age? And also, if you have used it or know someone who has used it, can you tell me your or their results of it. Help me out guys, I’m tired of having a bunch of fat where I don’t want it. Oh, and one more thing, diet and exercise alone doesn’t seem to cut it for me.

Answer

just check on the label because most diet supplements say you have to be 18 before using it. You may even go to the doctor and ask about it.

Teen Weight Loss?

Hi. I’m 15 years old, 5 feet and 6 inches, and I am 125 pounds. I am not trying to lose major weight. I just want to shed 5 to 10 pounds. I was wondering if there are any teen appropriate weight loss supplements or metabolism speeders. I have been exercising a lot and eating healthy foods, but I can’t seem to lose weight. Are there any effective weight loss methods or excercises that I can do that are inexpencive?? Please help. Thanks.

Answer

You can’t lose weight because you don’t need to, simple as that.

There are no safe weight loss pills for ANYONE, let alone teens.

What is the best supplement to help lose weight quickly?

I am trying desperately to lose weight. I’m 18 and have struggled with weight all my life. I would love to lose about 130 and need to do so in order to be healty. I have tried every diet in the past from low carb, to low cal and fat. I do not eat much and gain a lot more weight than what I take in. I am one string from giving up and I am desperate. I am going to give another try to weight loss and this time I am planning to use a supplement to assist me. I am also considering doing the hollywood diet on the weekends to help. I went to the store and seen all of the different supplements and just really don’t know what is best. If you could help me I would really appreciate it.

Answer

honestly no supplement out there is going to work without proper exercise and a balance diet.

to start off with focus on cardiovascular work. 3 - 4 days a week of treadmill, bike, stairmaster, etc.. work for 30 45 min and always go for time rather than intensity (meaning lower down the level inorder to complete your time if you have too)

I hope this helps. I’d do this for at least 1 month before starting weight training. when a months up ask again :)

NV weight loss pills and side effects.?

I started taking NV weight loss pills three days ago. Several hours after taking the first pill (recommended on an empty stomach) I started feeling nauseous. I’ve been that way for 3 days now. Has anyone taken this pill and had any side effects? Wondered if perhaps my body just needed to get accustomed to the pill. I also tried Smart Burn with Hoodia - no side effects but the pills are HUGE and too hard to swallow.

Answer

Hi

You shouldn’t be taking any pills to reach your goals.

All pills will make you have a lot of side effects. While taking them, you feel horrible.

A better way for you would be to do excercises or jogging.

I wish you all the best

Cheers,

Gina

Weight Loss Tips? WITHOUT Extreme Dieting OR Pills?!?

I want to shed a few pounds, like, 10 to 20. Any tips? I need to do this NOW! I have like, about 2 weeks at the most.

Answer

Running and stretching is crucial to some great weight loss. 20 minutes running in the morning is a good starter to your day and is fast and easy. Eat foods that have a lot of water in them (fruits, veggies, broth-based soups, etc.) and drink a lot of water (stay away from liquids with calories). Stretching before bed and when you wake up helps too.

Weight loss tablets/supplements

Are people who take weight loss tablets instead of eating less and doing exercise just lazy?

Best weight loss and muscle gain supplement?

Is there a supplement that I can gain muscle and lose weight, without stacking

Answer

In short, No.

It’s extremely hard (if not impossible) to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. You can, however, lose fat and maintain your muscle mass. This is done by combining a low-calorie, low-sugar (low glycemic-index) diet and a cardio routine with your normal lifting routine.

Body builders go through cycles that consist of a few months of “bulking” and a few months of “cutting”. They do this because If the try to do both at the same time, one of them has to give.

When you’re trying to “cut”, or lose excess body fat, your lifestyle (diet and cardio) should be one that does not promote significant muscle gain.

My advice would be to do it the right way. Go through a bulking stage where you consume enough calories for your muscles to take full advantage of your workouts. Then, when you’re built up, go through a “cutting” phase where you cut down on the calories and try to remove sugar from your diet (only consuming complex carbohydrates, “good” fats, and plenty of protein as always).

Good luck my man.

Does anyone know if the Acai Berry Pills REALLY work for weight loss?

I have read a few different things about this and everyone is saying how great it is for just about everything. However, I know how “great” things can sound when they are trying to be sold, so I was just wondering if anyone (not interested in making a sale) has tried this. If so what were the results? Honestly, is it worth the money?

Answer

Does Acai REALLY work for weight loss? The simple answer is yes. The complex answer is that acai will help you lose weight faster as long as you are eating right and exercising a bit. Let me explain…

First let me say that acai berries have far more antioxidants than any other fruit. Even more than blueberries! Besides that, the nutrients in acai berry supplements help many other diseases and maladies, from diabetes to arthritis to blood clotting. It really is a worthwhile supplement to add to your daily nutrition.

As far as the acai berry assisting with fat loss, acai can be a great weight loss aid. The berry’s natural concoction of essential fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently, process food more quickly and shed the unwanted pounds that you’d like to lose.

The fatty acids and amino acids aid in both muscle development and proper digestion, both of which are essential to fat loss. The fiber helps your body to move food out of your system quicker and also to help you feel full, as do fatty acids. Phytosterols help fortify your digestive tract, moving waste materials out and absorbing nutrients more efficiently.

I wouldn’t say that acai berries are the magic weight loss pill, but I would say that acai could be an important ingredient in your vitamin / supplement / weight loss arsenal. You should also exercise at least 3 times a week and stay away from junk food. Good luck!

What I recommend is to get a free trial of Extreme Acai, which you can get at the source link below. Then you should follow some of the other links on that site to find a sensible diet and a moderate exercise plan. Try to eat fewer carbs at night, and fewer calories over all if you think you can’t lose weight. Exercise at least 3 days a week. Give it 1 month and you should be able to lose 5-10 lbs easy.

So far using acai is working for me by helping my digestion, curbing my appetite, and by giving me more energy each day… I don’t even get sleepy around 3pm anymore. I’m going to keep using acai until a better antioxidant / weight loss supplement hits the market, if ever.

Has anyone tried weight loss supplement to help lose weight - Lipo-6, Hydroxy Cut, Alli etc?

Answer

i tried “Metabolife” pills about 5 years ago and i lost 30 pounds…but when i stopped the weight came right back and the pills had really bad side effects like rapid heartbeat and severe loss of appetite so 2 years ago i decided to try the Slimfast diet plan along with exercising 5 days a week i lost 50 pounds (which got me to my goal weight) and i kept it off for 2 years (until i got pregnant LOL) using diet pills is always a bad idea (most of them do not even work unless they have some type of ephedrine or Hoodia in them) the best way to lose weight is through diet and exercise…i hope this helps!!!

Weight Loss Supplements Notes

It is very important to stay healthy in our everyday lives. We need to keep track on our diet and make sure that we balance it in a right manner. We need to remember that becoming overweight could give rise to serious health issues in the future. Over weight people face many problems both mentally and physically.

There have been lots of controversies on Nutrition Notes on Weight Loss Supplements. The food and drug administration has banned the illegal products which are harmful to our health. However, there are lots of products that you will find in the market, which promises you to help with your weight loss program. There are possibilities that these products can give you side effects like heart and digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, and even psychological disorder.

The supplement manufacturers use chemical that claim to absorb carbohydrates but the research has not shown any results which can be termed as satisfactory. Chitosan is one such product which has failed drastically as Weight Loss Supplement. The food supplement manufacturers have also tried to make products which make you lose your hunger or appetite. What it means is that it decreases your appetite and makes you mentally feel not hungry. This product is known as Guar Gum, which again has failed to help you with the weight loss but it helps in controlling sugar and blood cholesterol.

There is another product in the market which is very appealing to the people and it is called cutting gel. It is one of the latest Weight Loss Supplement products. All you need to do is to apply this gel over the part of your body from where you want to remove the body fat. It is quite popular in the market these days.

It is advisable to lose weight in a natural manner and that would involve physical exercise and maintaining a balance diet.

What is the best solution to my hair loss?

I have been pondering what to do about my hair loss for a while now. Within probably the last year to year and a half I have noticed thinning of my hair in the front part of my head behind my hair line. It is most prominent in the front, but seems to be slowly thinning as you move toward the back of my head. My hairline isnt receeding, and my dad doesnt have much hair loss at 60 and i really dont know of anyone in my family with hair loss. I am 23 and have went to a dermatologist. I believe she prescribed a drug propecia, whatever drug that has a side effect of temporary impetency in some, and rogaine. I am quite apprehensive on doing either and i really dont know what to do. Both i hear you have to take for the rest of your life, and if you stop at all, the results stop. The hair loss isnt that noticable to others yet, and i want to act now and stop this while i can. My hair cutter said i have had a spot there for some years now, but i never noticed it. Any help would
be great.

Answer :

Why do you think that losing your hair is a BAD thing? The media has you brainwashed. Baldness is awesome. Two words. Patrick Stewart. No woman could refuse him!

The gene comes from your mom’s side of the family. Look at her father.

Did you know that hair loss is the result of TOO MUCH testosterone? Yeah, you’re more of a man than those furry headed guys.

Bald heads are warm and smooth and beautiful. Don’t let the media tell you that you’re not gorgeous, I’m sure you are! Your hairdresser can help you out for years, making the most of this, keeping you away from the dreaded comb-over etc. Embrace it! Bald is SO HOT!
