admin A few years back when the Atkins Diet was all the rage I took some of their supplements and did the diet and lost about ten pounds in a couple of months but couldn’t stick with it and the weight gradually crept back up. I did notice that something (presumably the supplements?) helped curb my appetite and also seemed to give me an energy boost.
I am NOT wanting stimulants like caffeine or diet pills but rather supplements with safe ingredients like vitamins and/or minerals at effective but safe doses that help curb appetite and boost energy.
I have a weakness for sugary foods and feel tired a lot, I’m pre-diabetic so I need to get some energy to allow me to exercise and get through the days and need to fight the sugar cravings.
Would appreciate links to reputable sources of information!
What about these "5-hour Energy" drinks?
Hello, the best one i could advise would be l-carnitine. It must be used in conjunction with an exercise regime but if you are trying to lose weight then i am guessing that you are exercising. l-carnitine is a natural substance in the body, the body uses it to transport stored fat into your muscles when exercising. People who have low l-carnitine levels may go work out for 1 hour and only have an effective stored fat loss of maybe 15 minutes of the workout. The rest of the 45 mins is burning the days food intake and ATP. So taking the l-carnitine before a workout just insures you get the maximum results for your hard work. Sugar cravings usually come from vitamin deficiency. It is important for you to take a good quality multi, and eat foods that combined, will give you complete proteins and amino acids. Foods like this would be for eg. grain toast with baked beans on top, or a salad with some egg in it or tuna. Avoid white breads, sugar and as many carbs as you can. I would allow 1 day per week where you can splash out and enjoy foods, but other than that i would try and keep 6 days per week on a healthy eating plan. The reason why diets dont work is because you are trying to tell your body that you can never eat unhealthy foods again….how would anyone be successful in that!!! Allow yourself to continue to enjoy the foods you like, but as i mentioned before, just limit the amount of time you allow this to happen. There is only so many potatoes and chips and icecream you can eat in one day!!!! And the more you avoid thosee foods during the other 6 days, the less tolerance your body will have to them, the less you will be able to consume them….Drink loads of water…..this is the KEY!!!!!

I’m glad u asked! Look up osasgarden.com (i think that’s the website..it’s definitely Osa’s Garden . . ..located in hohenwald, tn. and florence, al. although they just closed the hohenwald one) they do ups orders. You can get hoodia which is a supplement that helps supress your appetite, and he can recommend some other vitamins that help lose weight quicker. also, they have chocolate thats healthy for you! *yes, i’m serious! It costs a little more, but it tastes good. hope this helps!

Well, i am no doctor, but the first thing is stop eating so much sugar. At my job the number of people who are having the gastric bypass surgery has risen !!!!!!! I work the third shift and most people at my job eat spaghetti , hambergers, steak and so on. I know that theres alot of people out here that can’t fight this alone. But most of the time , when people eat it’s because of stress…. find out what’s bugging you. What weighs heavy the most on you, what problems do you have that you can’t fix…. but what you can.. fix… address them one day at a time.. and one at a time. you can do it. If you mess up.. just like fallen to the ground. We get up.. and start again… I am fighting my own issuses of weight… and it’s hard.. I love sugar too. But when i saw what it does to the body…. i backed off. Because i want to live.. I want to be healthy… and you need to tell yourself the same thing ok…
Good luck.. i’m praying for you…

forget the energy drinks, I think they have flavored sprays out now, you spray in your mouth when you feel hunger, I understand they work well

The supplement I recommend is the slim fast optimum with non-fat milk and a banana, also I use Kirkland regular vitamins with their fish oils and for some reason I get a pretty nice boost from it in the morning.
FYI to much vitamins can lead to an overdose (nothing lethal) but can drain you in the end so stick with the supplements that do not go over 100% on any vit or min

ask for the nearest ibo or adc in your town and inquire for the weight management program or you can do your own research online.
