Do any of you use weight loss pills or supplements? If so which ones work the best?

    I like to use Optimum Nutrition or MusclePharm products for protein shakes, pre workout if I'm dragging a bit, and creatine. Outside of that maybe a multivitamin. Then it's all good clean food, cheat meal on the weekend and hard work in the gym.

    Certain supplements may work better for you than others.

    I am thinking more like a fat burner or something to jump start my metabolism...

    There is no such thing as "jumpstarting your metabolism"

    There isn't any such thing as a fat burner pill or supplement. Why would you need to jump start your metabolism? Your metabolism isn't a car battery and can't nor need to be jumped started.

    The only thing that they cause to lose weight is your wallet.

    Eat less, move more, and you'll lose weight.

    If there was a safe weight loss pill, all the doctors would be prescribing it to obese people and it would be all over the news for weeks. Everyone would talk about it. It would be the biggest news since 9/11. Maybe bigger.

    If that pill ever comes out, everyone will hear a LOT about it.

    Until then, it's all a scams. They're lying to you to get your money. Don't be fooled. :)

    I haven't taken and won't take any pills or supplements. They are scams and have tons of risks to them. Eat right, exercise, learn to make treats just that and you'll get results without jeopardizing your health.

    I have not personally taken any supplements, but man no one has anything nice to say. :ohwell:

    They are correct - there is no magic pill.

    However there are supplements that are suppose to help you have more energy (thus increasing your metabolism and burning more fat). Again, I have not used any of them, but they are out there.

    My personal advise is to get on a routine with eating habits and workouts. (Not "diets") And see if you notice a difference - if in 3 months you still feel like you need help - research it and make an educated choice. (Stay away from caffeine and diuretics.)

    Good luck! :smile:

    There are no 'quick fixes' that'll help you lose and keep the weight off. Find a routine that allows a calorie deficit without leaving you hungry all the time and a way of eating that you can do forever. If you just eat one way to lose the weight and then go back to eating as you did pre-weight loss then you'll put the weight back on. Unless you intend using shakes/ pills/ potions & lotions for the rest of your life don't use them now, you're better learning what and how much you should eat as normal and factor in treats and special life events (vacations, birthdays, Christmas etc).
