10 SUPPLEMENTS THAT WORK
Men's Fitness weight-loss adviser Jeff Volek, Ph.D., RD., brings you the latest in safe, legal (available at your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe), and scientifically proven fat-fighters
Creatine: Research shows that this supplement helps protect muscle tissue--even when it's not being used. This helps ensure that any weight you lose is all from fat. Since your goal is fat loss, pick creatine products containing little or no sugar, such as GNC Pro Performance Creatine Monohydrate.
Aim for: 5 grams daily.
Glucomannan: This unique form of soluble fiber can absorb up to 100 times its weight in water. Meaning, when you take a glucomannan pill, it will expand in your stomach, inhibiting your appetite and helping keep your body in fat-burning mode.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): CLA is a special type of natural fat that has been shown in study after study to promote fat loss. You can get it from foods in your diet like beef and dairy products--but they don't contain enough. That's why supplements are vital.
Aim for: 2-4 grams daily.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Carnitine helps move fat toward the region in cells where it is burned for energy--tiny structures called mitochondria. Research shows that supplemental doses can significantly increase the rate at which most guys burn fat.
Aim for: 2 grams daily.
Hoodia Gordonii Extract: Hoodia, a plant grown by South African tribes, is now being investigated by drug companies for use as an appetite suppressant. Studies suggest it may help reduce the amount of food you eat in any given meal by up to 30%.
Aim for: About 250 milligrams, before meals.
Caffeine: Even a tiny bit of this soda staple can trigger the release of hormones such as adrenaline, which helps increase the rate at which your body burns fat. You don't need an expensive supplement--just drink coffee without sugar, or diet soda.
Aim for: 150 milligrams--about the amount in one cup of coffee--either in the morning or before your workout.
Diacylglycerol Oil (DAG): DAG oil (or ENOVA oil, as it goes by in your local grocery store) is a mixture of canola and soybean oil that has been altered chemically so that your body is more likely to use it as energy rather than store it as fat. Supplementing with ENOVA (by substituting it for other cooking oils) has been shown to enhance fat loss in the body, especially in the abdominal region.
Aim for: 1-2 tablespoons daily.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Recent studies conducted in Korea have shown that ALA alters brain behavior, making you feel less hungry and causing your cranium to crank up the body's internal fire-burning engines,
Aim for: 2-3 grams daily.
Chromium Picolinate: This essential nutrient has been shown to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, both of which help keep your body burning fat.
Aim for: 200-600 micrograms daily.
Fish Oil: Fish and fish oils are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA--two compounds that lower triglyceride levels in your blood and increase the rate at which fat is burned.
Aim for: 2,000-5,000 milligrams daily.
