The last time I talked to you all about my weight, I confessed that Id regained some pounds. Unfortunately, for the rest of 2016 things got much worse before they got better and about half of my hard work went down the drain. Its not something Im proud of, but after assessing some of theways I went about losing weight the wrong way the last timeand forgiving myself for the regain, at the beginning of 2017 I decided to get my ish back together.
While I wouldnt be relying on a trainer this time because I needed to be more accountable to myself I did implement some of the practices my trainer taught me, one of which was the benefit of supplements. And no I dont mean gimmicky lose weight fast supplements, I meanproducts that provide nutrients to help your body perform at its best and boost weight loss efforts that there are no substitutes for: exercise and clean eating.
Because Id reaped such good benefits from HUM Nutritions Big Chill pill, I decided to explore what options the brand had for my health goals. Thats when I came across Ripped Rooster andSkinny Bird. Ripped Rooster is a thermogenic fat burnerthat contains 7-keto, a natural metabolite that has been shown to eliminate and reverse the decrease in metabolic rate that can happen after dieting. Because I was coming off of a year of losing 92 pounds, I wanted to give my metabolism a boost and I was well aware of the benefits of Green Tea in aiding weight loss, which this supplement also contains.
As attractive as the word skinny is in the name of the second supplement, what really excited me about this productwas its promise to not just curve your appetite, but reduce stress eating. Ive told you all more times than I care to think about how emotional eating has repeatedly been my downfall, so I was definitely game to try something created specifically with that issue in mind. Plus the pill helps boost metabolism and control blood sugar, the latter of which Id been suspecting I had issues with because I hadnt been eating on a regular schedule and certainly not healthy foods.
Let me tell you, the difference when I take Skinny Bird and when I dont is palpable. As I type this, Im slightly struggling to finish a small smoothie that Ive been working on for nearly an hour. Monday I didnt take the supplement and downed the same medium size smoothie and was ready or a snack within another hour. Its unfortunate that I have a hard time remembering to take this supplement 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as directed, because Id likely see even more benefits if I did.
Nevertheless, I am 15 pounds lighter than I was when the year began and I feel 15 times better than I did in 2016, and not just because Im smaller. In addition to the weight loss aids above, I also resumed taking Omega-3s. Fish Oil has fatty acids that help maintain brain and heart health and, being overweight and working out daily at high intensities, I didnt want to play with the latter. I also appreciate that OMG! Omega the Great doesnt have a fishy aftertaste.
I take these supplements in addition to a daily multivitamin, which you should take regardless of any attempt to lose weight, and B-12 to assist my energy levels. Its a concoction that has worked wonders for me so far, but the key word with everything I said here issupplement. None of these pills is a substitute for healthy eating or hard work, they simply make the pay off for doing so that much greater.
