Enhancers?
 
Hello Friends!

I am chugging along calorie counting and exercising and things are going well. I leave for vacation in 96 days and would really like to lose another 25 pounds (at least) before I go.

Do any of you use enhancements for your weight loss? Are they effective?

I just went and bought myself some cinnamon to sprinkle on food and drink as well as some green tea bags to drink. I already take a daily multi-vitamin for B12. I've also set myself an hourly reminder to drink water. I bought a weight loss hypnosis app that I try to listen to 3 times a week. I also got the sleep cycle app to help me to wake up earlier and get my daughter to school earlier so I can spend more morning time at the gym. Contemplating fenugreek supplements as well. I prefer to keep things "natural" but wouldn't rule out prescription medication.

I don't really care if the effects are actual or psychological - because if I'm getting results, it works.

Anyone?

Drinking a ton of water and herbal tea (no sugar) helps me, I think!

It might be a good idea, if you're trying to lose weight relatively quickly, to do some weights (if you don't already). Helps counteract the muscle loss, I think.

Question: You said you bought cinnamon. What is cinnamon suppose to be good for? (Im just curious because I've seen other people talk about it)

I take cinnamon with my main meal, and I drink green tea.. but the green tea is only because I love tea. :lol:

And, Eurus, suppsedly it helps your blood sugar stay even keeled and slows the rate at which your tummy digests food, so you stay full longer... Heres some info: http://www.livestrong.com/article/10...nnamon-health/

I also take honey once a day, a teaspoon with my other vitamins in the morning, because I feel like it keeps me from getting colds. I haven't had one in nearly 2 years, and I think it's because of this. I like that they both have antibacterial properties, and its natural. Anything to keep bacteria outta me! LOL.

Thanks. I eat cinnamon on my oatmeal every morning. So I already got that covered then :P
