2 Healthy Weight Loss Supplements For Women

There's no doubt about it losing weight can do wonders for both your physical and emotional health. The only problem is that it takes time.
We live in a modern society that is impatient because we've become addicted to instant results. It's no wonder the majority of people wanting to lose weight resort to using fad diets and pills that come with outlandish claims of burning off 14 pounds of fat in one week.
Losing weight this fast is unnatural and unhealthy and in the long run can lead to serious health complications.
With their increasing popularity several brands of weight loss supplements are currently available on the market. In terms of their effectiveness some are very good and have been clinically proven to help people lose weight.
However, the vast majority of supplements are not clinically proven and many of the health claims they make are not backed up with scientific proof.
In fact, recently certain diet pills containing the chemicals phentermine were removed by the FDA because of the unpleasant and serious side effects they caused.
In most cases, it's safer to consider weight loss supplements that are made from natural ingredients. Fortunately, there are a number of options that you can consider as follows:
Dietary Fiber
Fiber is a natural appetite suppressor that can help you keep the pounds off. By making you feel fuller for longer, fiber enables you to eat less than you would normally.
Fiber is harder to digest so it stays in the stomach for longer giving you that sense of fullness, even hours after a meal. Fiber can also help to regulate your blood sugar levels. This is important for weight loss because your blood sugar level controls your appetite.
When you increase your fiber intake make sure you drink more fluids such as water. This is because lots of fiber can make you constipated.
In the West the vast majority of people don't eat enough fiber and for these reasons suffer many digestive problems as a result. The recommended daily intake of fiber is 36 grams per day for a man and 30 grams for a woman.
The majority of fiber supplements that are proven to work, use fiber from psyllium husk or the prickly pear, which is a type of cactus plant.
Capsicum Pepper
The capsicum pepper contains capsaicoids, which are compounds that give the pepper its intense heat. However, clinical studies have shown that these compounds can also raise the body's metabolism. Your body's metabolism is the rate in which your body creates energy from fat.
As your metabolism rises your body burns more calories. For best results these supplements are recommended to be taken prior to a physical workout.
You could eat chillies rather than a supplement that contains chilli extract; but you would have to eat a lot of them to derive any benefit.
There is also the added problem that eating chilli peppers in large quantities can irritate the sensitive lining of your stomach. For this reason, taking a good quality capsicum extract supplement enables you to avoid this.
