Weight Loss Supplements ExplainedHave you ever thought about using weight loss supplements?There are hundreds of weight loss supplements on the market but not all of them deliver what they promise. Here’s a short guide on some oft the most popular weight loss supplements. To each of the supplements I will give you a short list of the most popular brands. This is not a recommendation for either one! You should find out together with your medical which one suits best your own needs. Carb Blockers "Carb Blockers" can help control the downside of high carbohydrate intake. They contain phaseolamin a patented kidney bean derivative. Phaseolamin was designed to block the action of the body's alpha-amylase enzymes which then results in less starch breakdown, therefore, less carb absorption into the body. This should mean less stimulation of insulin and less fat storage by our systems. Carb blockers may also help to reduce the return of hunger after meals, an especially pressing problem when individuals diet by simply reducing calories.

Chitosan Chitosan is a dietary fiber derived from shellfish and has the ability to attract and bind to fatty acids. (If you are allergic to shellfish avoid Chitosan!) It can absorb 8-12 times its weight in fat (including cholesterol) and prevent that fat from being absorbed. It seems to work best when combined with absorbic acid Vitamin C for better disbursement.
- Chitosol
Chromium Chromium helps regulate insulin functions, such as maintaining blood sugar and cholesterol levels that result in less fat being deposited into the cells. This creates an increase in lean muscle mass with a benefit of controlling the appetite, particularly sweet cravings.
- Citrimax Plus With Chromemate
ECA Stacks The ECA stack is one of the most popular supplements used for weight loss. It is a combination of Ephedra (Ma-huang), Caffeine (Guarana), and Aspirin (Willow's Bark). Ephedra and Caffeine are central nervous stimulants that suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. Aspirin assists in speeding up the delivery of the other ingredients to the tissue. The primary purpose of an ECA stack is to help creating thermogenic fat burning. The body has built-in regulators that increase or decrease thermogenic fat burning. As we age, thermogenesis gradually becomes blocked. That is why most of us gain weight as we age.

Guggulsterones The Guggul tree grown in India exudes a resinous sap. This resin has been used for centuries as part of India's traditional medicine called Ayurveda. Guggulsterones seem to preserve or even increase thyroid output, preserve or increase the metabolic rate (without stimulants), and provides much needed substrates for the production of neurotransmitters involved in weight loss and metabolic rate.
- Metabolic Thyrolean
HCA's Hydroxy Citric Acid serves as an appetite suppressant and also inhibits the actions of ATP Cytrate Lyase a specific enzyme in the liver which is responsible for the conversion of carbohydrates to fat.
- Atkins Dieter's Advantage
Pyruvate This is probably one of the most controversial and expensive weight loss supplements on the market. The theory behind this supplement suggests that because glucose (the chief sugar used by cells for energy) is broken down by the body into pyruvic acid, an increased level of pyruvic acid in the body enhances a cell’s ability to generate energy. This results in weight loss, reduces weight regain, decreases appetite and reduces fatigue.
- Calcium Pyruvate
