A Few of My Favorite Weight Loss Supplements

So I want to make it clear that I am a natural athlete.  I try my very best to use only things I feel good about using.  I am not perfect but I do not use any fat burner pills or anything crazy like that so if your looking for my advice on that It is not going to be in this post lol!  The following list are things I use every single day I workout (working out 6X a week while cutting if you have been reading my posts).  Some of these I use daily even when not working out which I will explain below.  These really help aid in weight loss in my opinion  I know for sure they help me and as I said they are all natural non toxic or scary items so why not give them a shot as they may help you too!

 

 

Sweet Sweat Workout Enhancer

*This is one pf my favorite products and I have recommended it to quite a few people who have seen good results also.  This is NOT a magic product and I am not sponsored in any way by them!  It rids your body of excess water and this can really be a problem for a lot of women.  It also makes your muscles feel great wherever you put it so it helps you workout harder and longer.  I love to use it everytime I workout & I generally use it with the waist trimmer also made by Sweet Sweat.  You can see me rocking it in all my sweaty glory in the photo above haha!  Sweet Sweat works with or without the waist and thigh trimmers but I like the waist trimmer.  More on why I like it and additional info in this blog post I previously wrote

Green Tea

*This is something I drink daily when I am trying to lose weight whether I am working out or not.  I drink 3 cups throughout the day.  I am not picky about brands but some taste better than others and I like organic whenever possible.  Green tea has been shown in many studies to be vey good for you because of the antioxidant content.  It has a slew of health benefits but it also can help stabilize blood sugar which can help prevent those crazy cravings we get when our blood sugar is too low and it contains high amounts of EGCG which has been linked to assisting in fat loss.  If nothing else it will help you drink more fluids, feel fuller, and prevent you from grabbing more food at least temporaily.  A top diet staple for me!

 

 

 

Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar or Coconut Vinegar

*I add this daily (1-2 tablespoons) either to foods or straight up do it as a shot followed by lots of water.  It is not super yummy but it will not only kill cravings (bc of the strong taste) but vinegar also helps digest food and lowers blood sugar similar to green tea.  Well digested food equals a flatter belly!  Enough reason to add it in.  If you can’t stomach a shot of it try adding it to a salad or something else that would benefit from the super tangy taste.  If you have acid reflux issues this is not a good choice for you to try though bc it can definitely flare up those issues.

 

 

BCAA’s

*Branched Chain Amino Acids are the main components of muscle fibers specifically Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine.  By supplementing with BCAA’s you can experience quicker recovery, retain more muscle while dieting, and it is also a delicious addition instead of soda or another unhealthy high sugar drink.  This is  very simple explanation so feel free to search all the benefits online if you want more info. I can 100% attest that it helps me with recovery.  Since I started taking regularly several years ago I have had a huge improvement in my soreness and recovery after training hard.  There are a lot of great brands and as far as supplements go this is a fairly low cost item that I think is worth investing in while dieting down.

 

Lemon Water

Another daily dieting staple for me!  I drink several glasses of lemon water (both hot and cold) to help with digestion and cravings.
