New to working out and looking at supplements

[kstockdale285]

Hi, I am new to the trying to be fit and lean. I currently weigh 140 and am 5"3 I recently had a baby. I am looking for tips on how to cut my weight down and become lean. I am a full time mom, student, and work a full time job. I squeeze in about a 45 minute workout daily. I am interested in any supplement that can help with appetite suppression and aid in weight loss. I know I can't just take a pill and lose weight, but I have heard of some supplements that increase your bodys ability to burn fat and increase your metabolism, as well as suppress your appetite.

I like powdered fat burners because they kick in faster vs. pills. PES Alphamine is a good one. Not much for appetite suppression though. But since you should also be watching your diet, it has choline that helps for mental focus.

Personally I would hold off supplements right now and get a solid understanding for nutrition.

This thread can help you determine how many calories you need a day to lose weight: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=156380183

There is some trial and error but as long as you are consistent, it will pay off. Also, if you do decide to purchase a product I would show your doctor to ensure there are no issues in case you are breast feeding.

[The Solution]

You are new to working out the last thing you should look at is supplements. All you need is a diet since you are new to the fitness industry.
First focus on what you need and that is a proper caloric deficit and diet plan.

I highly suggest you read here regarding your diet:

No supplement will aid a bad diet you need to first focus on diet and a proper caloric deficit.

Congratulations on the new baby!

First and foremost, make sure you have the proper diet/training in place before adding supplementation.

Secondly: Are you breastfeeding? If you are I would not worry about adding any supplements at this time.

If your not breastfeeding then I would recommend checking out ErgoCut, it's everything you're looking for. It'll help assist you with things like increased energy, focus and appetite suppressant.

As others have said lay off on the supplements for a while until you have a proper grip of nutrition and exercise

Lots of great advice in here - do yourself the biggest solid of all and ensure that you read up in the nutrition section so your diet can be definitely in order with your goals.

We make a powdered version of Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite.

Might look into it after my alphamine runs out.
