Weight loss supplements

If there were such a supplement, that developer would surpass Bezos and Gates in the $$$ department. That should tell you something right there.

When we hospitalized my mom, I went through her desk to make sure nothing was pending (family business). To my shock, I found dozens of bottles of diet supplements. I had absolutely no idea she’d been taking them, and am certain those are what contributed to some of her medical problems. I tooo two large grocery bags to her hospital room and gave them to her doctor.

Mom was morbidly obese. I can sincerely tell you, they didn’t do a damn thing for her.

Don’t wreck your body looking for a quick fix to an imaginary problem.

As noted before, you aren’t overweight. Why not channel all your energy and focus- which you clearly have- into recomp. You’ll soon be fighting those gals (or guys, since it’s a new world) off with a stick.

What you want as a "weight loss supplement", given your age, gender, a weight barely into the obese BMI zone, and already eating at what's probably a ridiculously huge calorie deficit (Sailrabbit says your TDEE without the walking would be at least 3200, and maybe up to 3700), is:

* Strength training. Find a program here:

Some of those are bodyweight programs, don't require a gym or special equipment, so you can do them at home or most anywhere.

* A realistic idea of what weight loss really is and means. Unless you're in a weight-related health crisis, fast loss is a bad plan. It loses you more than minimum useful (and attractive) muscle, increases health risks, and is generally counter-productive in other ways. At your weight, something less than a kg per week, maybe 740g - that would be about the maximum you should be looking to lose per week. Get to a healthy weight, and along the way learn how to stay at a healthy weight for the rest of your life, which - speaking here as someone who was too stupid to do that and paid the consequences - is a really excellent goal.

* Patience. That will be a useful life skill in other contexts, too - career, finances, education, more - so worth the working on.

While admitting I'm a mysteriously good li'l ol' calorie burner, I'm going to point out that I've been slowly losing weight at 1850 calories *plus* all my exercise calories . . . at 165cm, 57kg, female, age 65. There is no way on this planet that a much bigger 19 y/o male needs to be eating that little to lose weight at a pretty fast (but healthy) clip.

Eat a reasonable number of calories, keep walking, add some strength training, get some decent nutrition (especially protein, but also enough fats and plenty veggies/fruits), and put in some patient work. That's a better on-ramp to a healthy adult life.

If this seems harsh, I apologize. Just try to think of me as your frank, salty, but caring old internet granny, because I'm surely old enough, and I really would like to see you thrive, even though you're a stranger.

Best wishes for success, sincerely.
