  • Are there any weight loss supplements you can take to boost your weight loss

    Is there anything you can take that is safe while on atkins...like Trim Spa and all the other things on that line? I had a a great experience with metabolife once. Do they have carbs or sugars in them?

      Have you looked into GLA (i.e., borage oil) and/or CLA? Many swear by the combo in terms of weight loss. I take both every day for the essential fatty acid benefits alone!

        Well I wanting to take one just take one just to see if it boost my weight loss. And they have worked for me in the past. I know Atkins works, so my thinking with my REALLY slow metabolism Atkins and a weightloss herbal drug it my boost my weight loss. What I really want to know is do they have sugar and carbs in them...you can't really tell by reading the back of the bottle.

          I dont take anything but my multivitamin, the essencial oils (recommended by Dr. atkins), also take chromium that is on the VitaNutrients book, I take a calcium supplement, and that is it! The other pills like Trimspa and all that stuff DO NOT WORK! Never worked for me.

            it is great to take what you need in the way of nutrients and essential fatty acids..there are all kinds of things you can take that do not cost a ton of money to support good health ....however taking something with the idea it will boost your metabolic function is just myth ....you are a whole being and part of this involves taking care of yourself in a whole way ...not taking a pill to make your body work better ....

            good luck and save your money for some stunning clothes or toy for yourself

                Eating smaller meals more frequently works far superior to a pill. This will kick your metabolism into gear as well, shaking up your exercise to lose those last 15

                  I used to take a lot of weight loss supplements, and while I lost a ton of weight in the short term, I'm convinced it was mostly because of the appetite-suppression. I was always a little sick to my stomach and couldn't eat very much at all... in the long term, it seemed to even HURT my metabolism.

                  You've gotten some good advice. Eat smaller meals more often. I started trying that a few days ago and oo boy, does it work. Weight is just falling off. And MAKE SURE YOU'RE ACTIVE, even if that doesn't mean structured aerobics, get up and do something! Exercise = better metabolism! Exercise is the best metabolic "pill" out there!
                  No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

                  Vigilance, not perfection.

                      Red Roxx or Hot Roxx (I don't remembe the exact name) says that it works with the Atkins diet. I don't know about others.

                      But be warned

                      Something important to remember is that most of these herbal "supplements" contain caffeine, or some other metobolic stimulant. Caffeine and the like have the potential to *SLOW* your weightloss. So you might actually be doing yourself a disservice by trying out these things. Considering that you mentioned you have a resistant metabolism to begin with.

                        This is a supplement proven to work! It involves "the Metabolic Advantage", Improving your metabolism through exercise, and eating in a way that minimizes insulin spikes so your body will continuously burn stored fat.

                          How about the other supplements Dr. A suggest - Chromium Picolate, L-Glutamine... and all those others... Apparently they work really well for some... not so great for others (like me)... worth a try and way better and cheaper than most of those weight loss pills.
                          Started Atkins on December 8th, 2005

                          Officially Re-Focusing on 12-28-09.

                            Hi guys, I take CLA, L-Tyrosine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, DHEA, 7-Keto, and an iron free multi.
