Any supplement you take to aid in weight loss?

Do you think caffeine helps in metabolism? protein? medical grade CO2(perhaps)?, Tea??? or good fats? Love to hear your current niche in your weight loss journey. In my age, losing weight is now challenging.

Hi and welcome, oliverpete

If you join our Daily Diary, you'll see what people eat/drink and how they exercise, to keep themselves following a healthy lifestyle

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the HOME page, bottom on a mobile.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Hello oliverpete and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊 If I've leaned one thing after 40+ years of watching my weight it's that there is no quick fix, it's a question of calories in versus calories out, and eating the most nutritious foods for your body. As far as I know there is no supplement that enhances weight loss or boosts metabolism. Unfortunately as we get older weight does become harder to lose but not impossible. Have a read of the links Moreless suggested and have a think, I hope we can help you 😊

Best supplement is water! Drink 2 litres a day and this will definitely help with your weight loss. EJ

No supplements, but as we age we may need to change what we eat. It's not uncommon to become insulin resistant. Eating /drinking sugar and white refined carbs can spike insulin levels and insulin is a driver for fat storage.

Eating more vegetables, good quality protein and swapping to higher fibre grains, but not too much, has helped me lose weight. It's all about finding the right balance.
