Hi I’m naturally rather sceptical about weight loss supplements etc. I can’t help wondering if anyone has found one that they think has genuinely helped with their journey?

I’m hearing lots about apple cider vinegar at the moment - is there any credibility to this do you think?

Hope all are having a lovely day!

    They help to drain your wallet of cash, that's about it. Stay skeptical.

    Credibility to Cider Vinegar as a weight loss aid? Absolutely none whatsoever!

    Makes a good salad dressing/marinade though! Also fab for drowning fruit flies 😊

    If you'd like to save money, I'll send you a picture of my ACV with 10 billion dead flies in it. Guaranteed appetite suppressant. ;)

    Like many stated, it's weight loss for your wallet for majority. WITHOUT a calorie deficit, NONE of them work.

    Calorie deficit is the only thing that works for weight loss.

    There’s a reason the supplement industry uses marketing buzz words, fancy labels, etc. it’s all a marketing gimmick.

    There are things that help with performance like beta alanine, citrulline malate, caffeine, creatine, and a couple others but for weight loss there really isn’t anything out there. If there was obesity wouldn’t be the problem it is.

    Supplementing your daily activity level with a little extra exercise usually does the trick!

    Thanks everyone! Pretty much confirming my thoughts but had to ask!
