Glad to see you here, Chunkalunk!
You've already found that 3FC basically follows the eating-right, keeping-fit point of view.
I have tried a couple of weight-loss supplements in the past, and all I can say is, most of them have that silly phrase, "when used with a program of diet and exercise." Well DUH! It's the diet and exercise!
That said, I think that some supplements like vitamins, calcium/magnesium, and others for specific purposes can help with general health--I just don't expect them to make me magically lose weight.
Good luck with your weight loss!
