Great question Michelle. I would say that lifestyle changes are the main star for weight loss (what you eat, how you eat, exercise, how much sleep you are getting, situational stressors, etc). I see supplements as potentially beneficial adjuncts. For example, caffeine may give you more energy to do a harder workout, suppress your appetite for a couple of hours, or perhaps shift your metabolism in a positive way temporarily. However, to gain those benefits, you still need to work out and make a conscious effort to decrease oral intake. Even with bariatric surgery, where a patient's entire anatomy is modified, lifestyle change (diet, exercise, etc) is still absolutely necessary. In the case of an individual who has had a gastric bypass, their stomach is the size of a golfball and if they aren't careful, they can regain weight after surgery.
As a generalization, I would say so. Most people want to get into ketosis for weight loss so I think the most reliable way would be through the keto diet. From a physiology perspective, the keto salts don't promote lipolysis and the research isn't strong for athletic performance. When it comes to anecdotal information, some people may experience a benefit when they take these supplements. Extremely hard to know if its placebo effect. Alternatively, the mere fact that a person takes a new supplement may provide the feeling of improvement since people feel that they are doing something positive for their health by taking a supplement.
Very informational thanks!
You are glowing! Skin care routine please ☺️ would you consider review skin care products and clean makeup?
I actually didn't know much about this topic
What about cranberry supplements ?
Are there ANY supplements you have found that do indeed help with weight loss?

So would the “get into keto” pills be the same as the Pruvit it stuff? (Meaning it’s not going to work🤦🏼♀️)
