Hey there.

I was curious, all those diet supplement commercials ...

Do they really work?

Has anyone tried anything?

Is it considered cheating?

    A wise poster on here once said:

    You didn't need a supplement to gain weight. You don't need a supplement to lose it.

    And it is still absolutely true. The supplements are crutches that sell a quick fix by patching up the symptom (excess weight), but not the problem (improper eating and exercise habits). To put it bluntly, I have never seen someone use any type of supplement and succeed over the long term.

    The only supplements I would recommend are vitamins and possibly green tea.
