marv49er Posts: 33 Joined: 2002/09/05	2002/09/17, 12:04 PM I am looking for a supplement that will work well with my workout routine to help curve the craving for sweets. I take a product called Advocare and was wondering if there was anything else out there. Another question: What supplements should I be taking? As stated in my profile I have lost 30lbs and am now looking to tone and get fit. Let me know your thoughts.

As far as supplements, some of the ECA stacks are helpful in curbing the appetite along with Chromium Picolinate.Examples are Hydroxycuts, Xenadrine, and any of the other "fat burners". These may also enhance your workout with a boost of "pep". For a super pre-workout boost, try Dimetradine Extreme. You will need some protein first and foremost as far as supplements go. Not much muscle will be built without it.

If you had to choose one product which would be the one you would choose to start with of those you suggested, bb1fit? Thanks.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2002/09/19, 11:51 PM jnellie is entirely correct. Chromium is wonderful, usually at a dose of 200 mcg.. Now, working in synergy with other products yeilds even greater success. Protein is of course muscle sparing, which in itself is fat burning. Muscle is what stokes your metabolic furnace. So it stands to reason, protein should be your #1 muscle building supplement.
