Supplements for Weight Loss

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a magic pill that would melt the fat away?  Well, I don't have that, but there are some wonderful supplements for assisting weight loss that my customers say really help.  Some of my top selling favorites that will support your effort to lose weight AND inches include the following:

1) Caralluma - suppresses the brain's appetite.  Caralluma is a cactus like plant which contains a phytochemical called pregnane glycosides, which blocks the enzyme citrate lyase, so fat cannot be stored.  It also increases energy levels.  In 2013 a study was published in which over a 12 week period, taking Caralluma showed a significant decrease in body weight, BMI, hip circumference, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, triglyceride levels, and total fat and saturated fat intake.  Caralluma is a mild stimulant.

2) Gymnema - is an Ayurvedic herb that decreases sugar cravings and helps balance blood sugar.  This herb is very helpful in staying on track with a Ketogenic diet, especially in the beginning stages of the diet.

3) Garcinia Cambogia - 750 mg, 60% hydroxycitric acid seems to work best by Natural Factors.  Customers say it decreases their hunger by providing a feeling of fullness.  It also is thought to increase serotonin that helps appetite regulation, helps curb food cravings, and increases fat burning.

4) Essential Oils for Weight Loss
     a) The best essential oils to decrease appetite are : peppermint, cinnamon, grapefruit, rosemary, lemon, marjoram, thyme, orange, and ginger for internal use ONLY if the oil is labeled that the oil is able to be ingested and never more than 1 drop is used at a time. These oils can also be mixed with a carrier oil to be applied on the feet or to be diffused/inhaled.
    b)  Slim and Sassy by doTERRA - this is a blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon essential oils.  It promotes healthy metabolism, helps manage hunger cravings, and helps to calm your stomach and uplift your mood.  It is a great oil to start your day with!
