Vitamins and Nutritional Supplements

Based on your particular diet and lifestyle, weight loss can be aided by consuming the proper vitamins and nutritional food supplements. To achieve optimal nutrition, you should first consider the foods you already eat. You may consume a sufficient amount of calcium, for example, but find yourself deficient in iron and zinc. Your weight loss plan will work best when your body chemistry is in balance.

When it comes to vitamins, moderation is important to consider. While a multi-vitamin and a vitamin D supplement can help fill the gaps in your diet, too much can be harmful. Always adhere to the manufacturers recommended daily dosage.

Sports Nutrition Supplements

Sports nutrition products can help you increase energy, build muscle, and improve your strength. Keep in mind, however, these products are meant to fortify your diet, not take the place of actual nutritious food.

FDA Approved Weight Loss Drugs

FDA approved weight loss drugs include Adipex-P/Phentermine, Tenuate, Bontil, 5-HTP, Xenical and Meridia. Many of these drugs increase serotonin and catecholamines (chemicals in the brain) which affect both mood and appetite. Prescription drugs are used in conjunction with diet and exercise to maximize efficient and timely weight loss. Most diet drugs are only approved for short-term use. Meridia and Xenical, however, are approved for long-term use in people battling chronic weight problems.

Injection Weight Loss

Some of the most advanced clinics today are reintroducing vitamin B12 injections as a viable method to aid weight loss. B12 increases energy levels, supports thyroid function, and generally enhances the well being of the body. In weight loss, Vitamin B12 charges the thyroid gland thus increasing the metabolic expenditure. In simple terms, Vitamin B12 gives you the energy you need to exercise and lose weight.

More recently, an exciting new weight loss injection has emerged called M.I.C. The primary elements B12 vitamins and amino acids Methionine, Inositol, and Choline are a purported requirement for proper fat metabolism. Dr. Misko offers the M.I.C. injection as well as several diet plans, supplements and general nutritional aids to help you reach your weight loss goals.
