Food supplements for weight loss

Now that you understand a little more about what food supplements in general are for, it’s time to talk about them; the weight loss supplements! So, let’s check it out!

Proteins from various sources

Although many people think that proteins are only for building muscles, and that because of this they would only be interesting for those who want muscle hypertrophy, it is not quite true, after all, these supplements can also be used to lose weight. 

What happens is that proteins, whether they come from animals, such as meat and milk, or from plants, are fundamental nutrients for the entire physical structure of the body, besides acting directly in muscle regeneration and recovery, as well as in the immune system. 

In addition, proteins are also able to increase the body’s overall energy expenditure, promote a longer feeling of satiety (which reduces the desire to eat), and also to control insulin levels, preventing the accumulation of sugar in the form of fat. 

The main protein supplements are obtained through Whey Protein, meat, soy, eggs, and some other grains. 

Thermogenic Supplements

Other supplements very famous for their support in burning fat and losing weight in general, are thermogenics. In this part of the content we will talk a little bit more about them: 

Able to assist in thermogenesis and general energy metabolism, thermogenic food supplements promote a large increase in caloric expenditure, and this occurs mainly by their ability to increase body temperature and decrease fluid retention. 

In addition, thermogenics are well known for giving you more energy during your workout, which can give you longer-lasting and more intense workouts. Consequently, you will get more results. 

Fiber

Last and not as widely used as they should be, fiber supplements can boost weight loss by promoting appetite control, and this occurs through different workings. 

It turns out that fiber, besides being processed more slowly by the body, is also capable of releasing molecules that act directly on the hypothalamus, helping to identify satiety.
