I have tried several types of dietary supplements to help with energy and to lose weight and none of them seem to be working. does anybody suggest any certain kind like hydroxycut or something or is it pretty much a lost cause??

What can I do next?

Try Muscle Milk. You can find it online. I drink it and I get the lite kind. I have lost 13 pound already and have only been on it for 3 weeks. I also eat normal healthy meals through out the day. My doctor said it was o.k. to drink and it has worked for me. I also still have my juck food I love but not as much because I am usually full quicker. I hope this helps you.

Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and restrict your intake of refined sugars and refined carbohydrates (candy and bagels or white bread). If you are doing cardiovascular exercise (this means that you sweat when you are working out!) and eating well, you may want to start lifting light weights 2-3 days per week. If making these changes still don't make you feel more energetic or help you lose weight, consult a doctor!

Hi K.,

I don't recommend any of those. They are not good for you. The best thing you can do is invest in Billy Blanks new taebo "amped" series. It works the abs like never before. Also, be sure to got "rockin abs" it is part of the deluxe package.. It REALLY works. I've done it 4 times already and I can see a major difference in my tummy. I have had 3 babies and I know how u feel.. The pouch will come off.. There are Moms doing this taebo series that have naturally lost the weight. You'll see them on the videos.. Billy even mentions them. Good Luck! Just take a a good ole vitamin like womens mega for nutritonal insurance.

you might try going to your doctor and having your thyroid tested, and you might look at www.yeastconnection.com for some answers.
I went through the same and could not lose 30 pounds due to my thyroid being low and I have candadia yeast therefore you need to cut out all sugar and yeast it is hard but i feel so much better and I am losing weight the right way---no pills! Just portion control and a new way of eating foods. I eat veggies, and chicken, fish, meats, etc...i highly recommend checking the yeast connection out and getting the thyroid test.

K.,
If after trying a regular diet and exercise program, nothing works, go to your doc and ask to have your thyroid tested. I was dieting and walking and going to the gym for a year and lost almost 20 pounds... I asked my doc what was up with that and had some labs done and found my thyroid was very low.... I got put on meds and lost 98 pounds in less than a year. (and still ate good)...
What area are you in? I am looking for "walk buddies" and I am in the Kalamazoo area..
Good luck

I used hydroxycut after I had my son and I lost about 10-15lbs. Plus it gave me this crazy jolt of energy that I really needed. Only downfall is the first few days I felt so hyper and jittery that I felt crazy, it was like drinking wayyy too much coffee. But I will say that it worked. I actually just had another child and am thinking about taking it again to help with weight loss or someone also recommended a supplement called Farenheit, but I don't know much about that one yet.

Hope this helps.

Hey K., there are a couple of products that I am aware of that are made with natural ingredients and works.

Restore - a juice elixir that I sell through my website www.warmspirit.org/cynthia_moses the item number is E181. Give it a try and if you like it give me a call at ###-###-#### and I could set you up on auto ship to have it sent to you each month. I tried it and it gives you energy the whole day and it's not like a burst or caffein...it's constant energy. You'll sleep good at night. I was once on high blood pressure medication, but since I've been taking Restore my doctor took me off the medicine. You have regular bowel movements....not like diahrea. The only side effect is weight loss. I've lost 10 of the 15 pounds I've been trying to loose. I love it!

The other all natural product that I recomend is the Himilayan Goji juice. My husband sells this one through his website www.gfmoses.freelife.com I've tried this one too. It does give you energy and its good for various health problems.

Take a look at both web sites and give me a call.

Just to let you know I have tried the Hydroxycut and at the time I was on high blood pressure medication and it elevated my blood pressure. Oh K., I'm a sister and it took away by booty. I didn't like it.

Sincerly,
C.

Try a good multi-vitamin made from whole foods (not synthetic) with a pro-biotic. I think mine are called "Every womens one a day" and drink lots of water- They help with digestion, absorption, energy and mood- Yippe for good vitamins, I wish I would have tried it sooner

If you are looking for a great dietary supplement my mother in law sells Reliv. It's a powder and you mix it with milk or water to make a shake. It's pure vitamins so it's safe, and I've spoken to a lot of people that this product has done great things for. They have lots of different kids. They have formulas for weight loss, anti-aging, and all sorts. If you would like some more information on it you can email me and I'll give you her cell phone number. She's very nice and not pushy at all. Or she can email or regular mail you information if that's easier or more comfortable for you. Hope this helps, good luck.

I agree with Robin M, the Arbonne line is truly the best I've tried. I really like the new 'energy drink', it doesn't have harmful ingredients, and does, however, have about 50mg of caffine per serving (a cup of coffee has about 200mg). I like it because it doesn't make you feel jittery, just awake and clear headed. Not to mention it restores your electorlytes, so that's great for when you work out. I am skeptic on these types of products and always leary of supplements, but Arbonne's Figure 8 are different and like Also, it does help with your appetite.

Supplements can't do all the work for you, we have to get moving too, which I'm sure you know already ;) Tae Bo is great, so is the firm, and Leslie (something) she has the walk-fit videos, easy but effective.

Hope this helps.
