Getting back into weight training and need advice

[PorscheFB61]

I used to weight train a lot about 10 years ago and then life happened. I went from a lean muscular 190 to a fat 250. Ive decided its time to get back into it. I have already began working on my diet. My goal is to trim down and get some of my strength back. I see all over the internet about thermogenics, bcaa's, creatine, whey protein, fish oil, beta-alanine, etc but have no idea what to take. Ive taken celltech in the past it it worked great. I was thinking of taking it again but need advice on other supplements. Money really isnt an issue. I am looking for the ideal set of stuff to take and when to take it to help achieve my goals. Thanks in advance.

You said you're beginning to work on your diet so let that (along with your training) pan out for a bit and provide the results before adding suppmentation right away.

Thanks guys for all the input. Would you recommend a thermogenic or just stick to a good diet?

a thermo can aid but you want to make sure your diet is in check first.
a product like Nutrabolics Thermal XTC might be just what you are looking for.

Get your diet and training figured out and work through them over the course of a couple of months prior to worrying about supps. A thermogenic isn't going to make much of a difference anyhow.

Dont put the cart before the horse!

I'd also recommend nailing down your diet first.

From there you can look at what supplementation could be useful (i.e. protein powder if you do not get enough from diet, fish oils if you do not consume through diet, multi if required, etc.)
