Best Supplements for Weight Loss

May 7, 2018

Best Supplements for Weight Loss | Style & Life by Susana

“I’m all about the supplements. I take fish oil every single day, as well as vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C.” Victoria Justice

Weight management is hard, given the popularity of fast foods. It is even harder to find the right weight loss supplements. The market is flooded with synthetic blends of useless minerals that only work a few weeks after purchase. If you’re after a lasting effect, these options often disappoint.

That said, there are certain dietary supplements which can increase your metabolism rate when taken along with a healthy diet and a workout routine. Increased metabolism assists your body to process macronutrients efficiently, resulting in weight loss.

Here are the best supplements that are effective in cutting weight.

WHEY PROTEIN

According to nutritionists, you can lose substantial weight if you include whey protein into your diet. Whey protein is more efficient in cutting weight than soy protein.

Whey works in several ways – first, it controls your appetite, meaning that you consume fewer foods. It also helps in muscle building.

Muscle has a higher metabolic rate than fat, so having more of it increases your body’s ability to burn fat.

Moreover, protein requires more energy to digest than other nutrients, meaning that your body will burn more calories.

CAFFEINE

Caffeine has many benefits to the human body – it lowers the risk of cancer, stimulates your body, boosts your memory, and so on. Another advantage, albeit lesser-known, is its ability to regulate weight.

Multiple studies have shown that caffeine promotes fat oxidation – the ability of your body to break down large fat molecules to produce energy. It works by stimulating the central nervous system to release nutrients, including fat, to provide energy for use in muscle contraction.

Additionally, caffeine helps you to work out more intensively. People who take caffeine before working out exercise harder, burn more calories and consume fewer calories afterwards.

Too much caffeine (more than 400mg) can have adverse impacts on your health, so keep your consumption in check.

GREEN TEA EXTRACT

Similar to caffeine, green tea extract increases fat oxidation.

It also stimulates the thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue, which actively speeds up your body’s metabolic rate.

GLUTAMINE

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. It is found in plentiful amounts in your muscles, where it assists in regulating blood sugar, repairing tissues and maintaining a healthy gut.

If you take glutamine supplements for at least four weeks, even without dieting, you will shed off some weight. This is because it improves glucose metabolism.

“Whether you’re trying to lose weight, lower your stress level, or looking for new ways to eat healthy, each day is a new day to tackle your goals.

OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT

Olive leaf extracts have loads of antioxidants, just like olive oil. These assist in reducing inflammation as well as stabilizing blood sugar.

Furthermore, olive leaf extracts promote weight loss by improving the efficiency of insulin, which reduces the number of fat deposits in your body.

The extracts also normalize glucose levels, reduces food cravings, and balance body sugar.

HYDROXYCITRIC ACID (HCA)

Best Supplements for Weight Loss | Style & Life by Susana

HCA is derived from Garcinia Cambogia, a small fruit that is native to Southeast Asia.

This supplement suppresses your appetite, increases your metabolism and significantly reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs.

It is worth noting that this supplement can only work if the concentration of Garcinia exceeds 50%.

CAYENNE PEPPER

Best Supplements for Weight Loss | Style & Life by Susana

Taking as little as half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper can substantially reduce your junk food intake. This species contains capsaicin, an ingredient that increases metabolic rate by up to 20% over two hours.

This is achieved by activation white and brown fat cells which are responsible for regulating metabolism.

As mentioned earlier, some supplements can adversely impact your health. If you’re considering taking a supplement, make sure you asses the need and safety by consulting a qualified nutritionist.

Also, supplements are largely ineffective if you don’t combine them with exercise and a proper diet.

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
