I Get By With A Little Help From My Lipo 6 Black Friends…

Beatles fan.

So everyone is looking for a fast fix to their weight. I’m really sorry to break this to you, but there really isn’t one folks. No magic pill or shake or exercise program. It takes time, hard work, and dedication, and different things work for different bodies. But can supplements help you along the way?

I confess- in the past I was a supplement junkie. I did ephedra when it was legal, fat and carb blockers, cleanses, Lipo 6 Black, TrimSpa, Xenedrine, Alli, QuickSlim- you name it, I have probably tried it at some point. And you probably guessed that none of them really worked for me. Not saying that wouldn’t help others, but not me unless you count stomach aches and frequent bathroom trips. I have one of those bodies that can be super stubborn when it comes to losing weight, even when I am technically doing everything ‘right’. How’s this…for over 2 years I ate 1200-1300 calories a day, worked out several times a week, and stayed within the same 5lb range. All of my numbers said I should have been losing. It was physically impossible for me not to lose for crying out loud! But still- I was stuck. And frustrated…let’s not forget that. So frustrated I quit dieting all together several times, which lead to gaining.

Now- I said there wasn’t a magic pill, but I do believe that some products out there can give you a hand. I always joked that if something really worked- I wouldn’t be able to afford it. But I did find a fat burner that helped me break out of a plateau and gives me lots of energy. I generally don’t like to take anything these days (I value my health over the number on the scale), but as a temporary boost- why not? Is it really so harmful? More harmful than carrying around too much weight? More harmful than quitting and undoing any progress made?

For me- that product was Lipo 6 Ultra. It helped me to bust through a plateau and drop 5lbs. No- I don’t get anything for endorsing them. Just speaking the truth. Unfortunately, you can’t take it for too long so I have stopped, but I will return to it if I hit another stubborn plateau. It beats unnecessary frustration and feeling like the girl no one asks to dance.

What is your stance on weight loss supplements?  Have you found something that works, or do you steer clear of that beckoning aisle at Walmart?
