Fat burners and supplements

[laurenmdela 0]

Does anyone know if we are allowed to take fat burners and supplements if we have reached a stall and to curb appetite? I'm 6 months post op, work out almost everyday but haven't dropped weight in a month.

A stall is expected in this process . Just keep doing what your told make sure your not eating too many carbs and you will start dropping weight again. My stall lasted 2 weeks

:-/ I have wondered this too . . . only because I have had semi-success with appetite suppressants in the past. I'd like to know if anyone can answer.

Good question. I have used Raspberry Ketones and I SWEAR my cellulite improved, and mine is so bad that I could see the difference within 1 week of taking them. It was awesome!

Stalls are normal and usually resolve on their own. Why do you think you need to eat less? Are you eating too many carbs? Fat? Calories? A lot of stalls are due to not enough water/ Protein /calories. Or it's just your body adjusting to all the changes you are throwing at it. If you are working out everyday you could be in starvation mode and suppressing your appetite and eating less is not the answer. Or you could be gaining muscle and losing fat, so your weight doesn't change. Are your clothes getting looser?

The old rules of dieting don't always apply (and obviously never worked or we wouldn't need WLS). Whenever I hit a stall I either a) didn't do anything; b ) ate more; c) drank more; or d) ate different things. (More veggies/fruit/whole grains/different kinds of protein). Never did I eat less or take "magic" weight loss supplements that never work long term anyways. They will screw with your metabolism and any temporary loss they help with will just come back when you stop.
