Use Fat Busting Supplements!

An episode of Dr. Oz last week discussed the use of fat busting supplements. There are four “fat blasters” that he recommends: safflower oil, calcium pyruvate, chitosan and GLA.

• Safflower Oil- may reduce belly fat and increase muscle
• Calcium Pyruvate (1000 ml before meals)- calcium helps pyruvate get into the fat cells and burn fat more effectively
• Chitosan (1000 ml before meals-comes from the skin of shrimp). It acts like a barrier and keeps fat from absorbing into the walls of the intestines. 
• GLA (800 ml a day) reduces inflammation and convinces fat cells to get rid of fat Dr. Oz recommends you try this one first.

I don't currently use any supplements for weight loss but, I plan on doing more research on each one of these and choosing one to try.  As any person who has been through the weight loss process before knows, it gets harder to lose weight the closer you get to your goal weight. At the start of my diet I was losing 2-3 pounds a week. Now I'm losing 1-2 pounds a week. This may give me the extra oomph I need!
