Dr. Oz said that wheat germ is super food for weight loss. Sprinkle on popcorn, add to shakes or smoothies, or, yogurt, or buy capsules or oil.

Also to fight cortisol, rhodiola rosea

I will post Monday's show. The above was on today's, Friday, show

I take a bunch of supplements too. I take potassium so my muscles don't cramp. The magnesium does help me a lot with headaches. But, I hear you, I have not lost weight due to supplements. I take them for health. I have a treadmill, but I prefer to swim for my cardio. I recently joined a HC and have finally begun to lose weight, 2 pounds. I know that oes not sound like much, but for me that is great, I lost zero weight, despite dieting and exercising for 2 months (SEP/Oct). During the summer June - Aug, I kept gaining and losing the same 5 pounds, I feel your frustration.

I am 45 and perimenopausal. I just ordered wheat germ oil caps, lol, based on Dr. Oz's show. I am 5' 6.5" currently weigh 173. I started at 210 last Feb. Went down to 180 by the end of May, then 175 by the end of June, and then stopped losing weight, gained 5 back and yo yo'd the rest of the summer between 180 and 175. I had my gallbladder out in May. I wonder if that screwed me up. Anyway, I exercise 5-6 days per week at the HC (3 days circuit training, 2-3 days swimming laps for an hour) and try (succeed most of the time but I do cheat occasionally) to keep my calories between 1200-1400 per day. I tend to drink two protein shakes per day, 1 soy based, 90 cal in the morning for breakfast, and designer whey protein after my workout. Somewhere in all if this info might lie the secret of my success, as in 2 pounds that I lost, hoping my engine has re-ignited. I also take lipo6 for her pills, but only 2 per day, not 6. I tried all sorts of diet pills, none have worked, I don't blame the pills, I blame perimenopause. Keeping my fingers crossed, that I have finally started to lose weight again.

Good luck to all of us.
