Weight Loss Supplements

These are the ones recommended in Dr. Perricone's weight loss book.

Omega 3 fatty acids (in fish oil)
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Astaxanthin
Carnitine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Coenzyme Q10
Chromium
Gamma Linolenic Acid
Glutamine
Maitake Magic
Dimethylaminoethanol

Which ones do you use, if any? I use fish oil so far. I think it's
working great and I'm thinking of getting some more supplements to kick
up the weight loss and health benefits some more notches. I think I'll
get at least 1 more supplement to start off with, probably alpha lipoic
acid. Dr. Perricone says he likes that one a lot.

I simply take a multi-vitamin and additional calcium (doctor's suggestion).
I think I'll put my money on diet and exercise to lose weight instead of
spending money on supplements.

I've done some reading on Dr. Perricone and don't think I have enough faith
in his method to want to send him any of my money for his supplements.

Yeah -- I watched in infomercial with him once, and he came across to
me as kind of a snake oil salesman. It's convenient for him that he
just happens to sell really high-priced versions of all these
supplements he's recommending, isn't it :-) ?

I do think some of these supplements have potential value -- but I
rely on multi-vitamins also. And if I did want to buy one of them I
wouldn't buy it from Dr. Perricone; I'd just go to Vitamin Shoppe or
wherever.

None. If I want fish oil, I eat fish.

I do take a woman's multi vitamin, organic estrogen replacement, St.
John's Wort, Glucosomine-condroitin and a calcium chew (chocolate!).

Many people disagree with the good doctor's ideas.

When you refer to Dr. Perricone's weight loss book, are you referring to
"The Perricone Promise" or another one?

I tried his "3-Day Face-Lift" plan, not to lose weight, but to see if it
actually would improve the appearance of the skin on my face (it's
extremely dry...sun damaged...with some wrinkles). After 3 days on this
eating plan, I was amazed at how well the skin on my face
appeared...friends even commented on it....I was extremely pleased. --

I think you just want to disagree with everything I write because
you're a bitch.

It's another book:
The Perricone Weight-loss Diet:
A Simple 3-part Program To Lose The Fat, The Wrinkles, And The Years
by Nicholas Perricone

I mix soy sauce and wasabi and I dip the salmon in it. I like it that
way.
It's also pretty good with some salad dressings.

And you're a mindless fucktarded asshole who only knows how to regurgitate
commercialized diet crap rather than do any intelligent reasearch of your
own. You don't even know what you are eating or drinking, you simply rely
on the fancy label and bogus claims your products make. Like your "Green
Goodness" which is absolutely loaded with sugar. Might as well drink a
coke.

The Mayo Clinic now recommends fish oil.

Ah, yes, those chocolate calcium chews! It's like eating a piece of candy
every day. I do take the Omega 3 supplements, as well as the coenzyme Q10,
but that is for blood pressure. Plus a multi, and an extra B complex.

Yes, apparently we have another poster who can't deal with the fact that not
everyone thinks his/her words are complete magic. Thus we're bitches. Next
he/she will be calling us fat/obese/whatever and telling us we have lots of
problems.

How do you know that oil fish works not only well, but "great"?

My only problem today is it's raining and we cancelled the regular 30 mile
breakfast ride so I'm trying to finish painting the family room Of
course that's not such a bad thing since I plan on dragging the trainer in
from the enclosed patio once I've finished painting. At least I can get
some riding in even if it's on an indoor trainer.

Awww....you're so sweet....kiss, kiss!!!

I've lost 30 pounds so far and I ran 15.5 miles this week, how's your
weight loss doing, honey?
