1. 7 Supplements for fast fat loss
Image by 2day929
Although there are a ton of supplements out there which can aid with fat loss, there
is no substitute for eating right and exercising smart. Once you have taken the step
of overhauling your diet and incorporating exercise in your daily routine, you can
leverage the use of supplements to enhance and speed up your fat loss goals.
Top 7 supplements for fast fat loss
Following are top 7 supplements for fast fat loss, which I added to my arsenal to lose
30 lbs and achieve my goal weight.
1.Krill Oil
2.CLA
3.Whey Protein Isolate
4.BCAA powder
5.Leucine Powder
6.L-Carnitine
7.B complex

2. 1. Krill Oil
Both fish oil and Krill oil contain Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. But the Omega 3
in Krill Oil are bound to phospholipids. Krill oil contains specialized fat molecules
called phospholipids which help emulsify fatty acids and enhance their absorption
and retention. Our cell membranes are also made of phospholipids. So Krill Oil takes
to our cell membranes quickly and easily as the phospholipid forms of EPA and DHA
found in krill oil are identical to the phospholipids in our own cell membranes. Hence
Krill Oil is 48 times better absorbed than fish oil.
Krill Oil also contains a naturally-occurring antioxidant called astaxanthin, along with
small amounts of vitamin E and A that keeps it from oxidizing and becoming rancid
in the gut.
Research conducted in a group of overweight rats found that krill oil provoked a 42%
decrease in fat (triglyceride) build-up in the hearts of the test rats. Fish oil only lead
to a marginal decline in cardio-lipids of 2%. When the authors of the study examined
the livers of these animals, they discovered a 60% reduction in fat in their livers, as
opposed to 38% in the livers of rats fed fish oil.
2. CLA
What is CLA? CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid
that has been shown in research and clinical studies to reduce body fat and increase
muscle mass. This is an essential fatty acid only obtained through our diet. CLA was
primarily found in beef and dairy products. CLA work as a body fat reducer is to
make sure that you take it every day and that you give it a minimum of 12 weeks, at
the very least, for satisfactory results to show.
3. Whey Protein Isolate
Studies have shown that a whey protein supplement increases fat loss and reduces
muscle loss on a reduced-calorie diet compared to a control supplement with equal
calories.
To increase the metabolic rate, lean proteins should be consumed at the amount of
1-1.5 grams per pound of lean bodyweight. It is easier to get the protein I need in
the form of whey isolate. Whey protein isolate is a great source of essential amino
acids which are building blocks for healthy muscles, skin, nails and other body
tissues
Protein reduces hunger by lowering insulin levels, making it easier for the body to
burn fat. Look for a protein powder which is low in fat, low is carbohydrate and
provides 25+ grams of protein per serving.

3. 4. BCAA powder
The Three amino acids - valine, isoleucine and leucine - are collectively known as the
branched-chain amino acids, so named because of their molecular structure, which
features branched chains of carbon extending from their primary carbon structure.
The BCAAs are part of the 8 essential amino acids - meaning that we must consume
them from food because the body cannot manufacture them.
BCAAs are unique because they're not metabolized in the liver but in muscle instead.
That's why they're called muscle aminos. They account for approximately 33% of the
Amino Acids found in muscle protein.
BCAAs may help diminish muscle damage during exercise and block what is called
Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) following intense training.[2]
Free-form BCAAs are great because they're almost instantaneously digested and sent
into your bloodstream. Taking a BCAA supplement before, during, and after you train
is important because BCAAs can help prevent muscle breakdown.
BCAAs can help you maintain energy and minimize protein breakdown.

during exercise”

amino acid supplementation before squat exercise and delayed-onset
muscle soreness”
5. Leucine
The most abundant of all 3 BCAAs. Research has shown that Leucine is the most
effective BCAA in in fighting fat and maintaining muscle. Supplementing with Leucine
powder may give you an extra edge in your fight against fat.
6. L-Carnitine

4. is a non essential amino acid made from lysine and methionine. L- carnitine is
responsible for transferring the fatty acids across the cell membranes to the
mitochondria where they are burnt(oxidized) as fuel. If carnitine levels are not
adequate, the mitochondria cannot absorb and metabolize fatty acids. Thus the level
of fat in blood stream may be high, which may interfere with our ability to burn fat.
Take L carnitine 30 minutes before starting your workout.
7. B-complex
is a grouping of all B vitamins. B vitamins are water soluble just like vitamin C. Other
vitamins A , D ,E and K are fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins get dissolved in water
and your body naturally depletes them faster than other nutrients. (Through urine
and perspiration. B- Complex boost metabolism which helps the body shed fat. It
specifically helps with weight loss because it breaks down fats, proteins and
carbohydrates by restoring healthy digestion. Healthy digestion is crucial for weight
loss. Take B-100 vitamin every day for general well-being.
Supplments can get very expensive so chose them wisely. My favourite supplements
which I take on a regular basis are Krill Oil and B-complex. Whey protein powder is
great for fast convenient protein. Always try to cycle your supplements and take
breaks from them to ensure that the body is not getting used to them.
