Take Your Vitamins to Lose More Weight

I recently read reports on two separate weight loss studies involving vitamins and nutrition. Both of them show that there is a direct correlation between taking vitamins and being thinner (not to mention healthier). Here they are:

1) The British Journal of Nutrition reported results of a study involving multivitamins in both men and women. The results showed that for both men and women, those who took a multivitamin had lower bodyweight and fat mass. The women in the study additionally reported that when taking a multivitamin, they noticed reduced hunger levels as well.

2) When in combination, vitamin C and calcium just might reduce the body’s fat absorption and storage. The Public Health Nutrition Journal reported results of a study performed on 900 Iranian women whose daily consumption of vitamin C and calcium were monitored. The results showed a correlation between women who had LESS abdominal fat and MORE of these two nutrients. There was also a potential trend that women who had the potential for being obese (particularly in the central area of the body) also had low dairy consumption (the main source of calcium) and low vitamin C consumption throughout the course of the study.

Thanks for the informative post. Its really apparent to me that the country is being inundated with a lot of weight loss products mainly because of the increasing problem with obesity. Causes of this are a lack of exercise, improper diet and not taking a daily liquid multivitamin to keep the bodies immune system strong and provide the calcium and vitamin D as needed. These recommended doses of a good liquid vitamin will help keep the bodies immune system in tact and help with keeping your weight normal. Thanks again for the info.

There are certain people who always crib about how modern technology has diminished and ruined mankind and how it has done more harm than good. Obviously they are dumb and they are cynics. But I would like to go with them with one favorite point of their�s that modern technology has made man lazy. I strongly believe this point or else how could sort of novel concepts like weight loss pills clicked with people. Courtesy of man�s new found super laziness people opt for weight loss pills like phentermine rather than sweating it out in the gym. What more inspite of repeating again and again that phentermine is a prescribed drug people blissfully prefer no phentermine prescription! Now you may call it laziness, ignorance or whatever, but it is truly dangerous!
