All About Weight Loss Supplements

Why Do We Use Supplements?

When clients first hear us discuss supplements as a component of their weight loss protocol, they often confuse them with diet pills.

At Transformations Center for Weight Loss, we don’t believe in quick fixes. We strongly feel that providing our clients with the tools and resources they need to make educated and healthier choices is the key to sustained weight loss.

With that in mind, we’ll never promote diet pills. Instead, we recommend weight loss supplements as an additional treatment on top of your classic diet and exercise regimen.

Think of it this way: supplements are a bonus to help support your body as it sheds weight and gets stronger. While you certainly can lose weight without supplements, adding these powerful products can make the process smoother, faster, and more effective.

What Supplements Do We Use ?

Each body requires different supplements to function optimally. The right supplements for you depend on your body’s current state and your goals. Our experienced team can help you determine what supplements will be most beneficial to you by assessing your body composition, health goals, and medical history at our clinic.

Some of the most common supplements for weight loss include but are not limited to:

Chitosan
Chromium Picolinate
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Glucomannan
Green Tea Extract
Hoodia
Bitter orange
B Vitamins
D Vitamins
Magnesium

If you’re not interested in supplements, we can help design a nutrition plan to get these supplements into your diet. For example, if we determine that your body could benefit from more magnesium, we might recommend increasing your intake of nuts, seeds, legumes, and leafy greens. If we feel that vitamin D might be more beneficial to you, we’ll recommend salmon, tuna, egg yolks, cod liver oil, and sardines.

How Do Supplements Work?

In most cases, supplements don’t work by directly influencing your body’s ability to shed weight, as most people believe. Instead, supplements work by affecting other factors in the body that can increase weight gain.

For example, most people believe that food intake and a sedentary lifestyle are the leading causes of weight gain, but poor sleep, stress, lack of self-confidence, and depression can all contribute to weight gain.

We’re generally looking to support these secondary weight gain factors when we add supplements.

For example, magnesium is an excellent option for soothing anxiety, while boosting iron can help tired and unmotivated individuals to exercise.

When we supplement the body with what it needs to function optimally, it responds by shedding weight and becoming healthier overall.

Risks

While there are always some risks involved when taking new supplements, you can rest assured knowing that you’re working with a team of medical professionals. We’ll ensure that all supplements that are recommended are safe for your unique body, and no supplement will interfere with any medication you’re currently taking.

Expectations

We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: supplements are not diet pills. You can’t take supplements and expect your body to magically shed weight. Instead, you need to focus on your foundation of diet and exercise, and only rely on your supplements to help support you in your weight loss pursuit.

Before Trying Supplements

When you come to see us about supplements for weight loss, we’ll first assess what your body currently needs. That’s what we love most about supplements—they are helpful for everyone! Whether you’re severely overweight, looking to shed an extra couple of pounds, or even if you are physically fit, supplements can help everyone improve their lifestyle with added nutritional support.

In general, we only like to recommend supplements to those on a full weight loss program with us. We don’t typically recommend supplements as the sole treatment for weight loss because, as we mentioned, this can lead to people believing that supplements will work as a diet pill.

Therefore, before you come to us to discuss weight loss supplements, you will need to work with one of our weight loss experts. You will discuss diet and exercise before we move into supplementing with extra nutrients and minerals.

After Supplements

Most clients are highly interested in the after-effects of weight loss supplements when they start taking them, but we want to warn you that you likely won’t see any direct impact from supplements alone. Instead, supplements work in the background, giving your body the extra boost it needs to operate optimally. In addition, when you do see direct results from your supplements, it’s usually after months or even years of daily use.

For example, if you start taking magnesium, you’re not suddenly going to drop 10 pounds next month simply because of the magnesium. Instead, you might find that after a year of daily use, your anxiety and stress levels have calmed, which helps your body release stored fat that it was holding onto during times of stress.

Bottom line: The after-effects of supplements may not be obvious, but they are certainly powerful.
