Theoretically, there are a lot of natural remedies for weight loss, though I have my doubts as to effectiveness. The only true weight loss program is to eat what you digest well (which is beyond the mere cutting of calories), don't eat what you don't, and exercise more. However, there are categories of weight loss aids:
Heat: hot herbs increase metabolism some, and also help everything move through thre system more efficiently. Some, like cinnamon, also help with blood sugar.
High chromium indicates the loss of chromium through hair. it can be due to mineral imbalance. Biounavailabilty of chromium usually indicates a disrupted cell renewal process leading to subsequent hair loss. It also indicates depleted energy levels.

Why do Doctors not test for chromium deficiency in diabetic patients? For 27 years my mother was treated for diabetes by pills. In her early eighties, her doctor began increasing the dosage in an effort to help regulate her increasing blood sugars. Due to her memory declining and thereby forgetting to eat after taking the medicine, we discontinued her pills and began monitoring her blood sugars and diet to attempt keeping her in a reasonable blood glucose range.
Has anyone had any success with anything for loosing weight while on lexapro????????
I'm on week 31 of tx. The HepC is no longer active and I only have 17 weeks remaining on the program. The results are very positive. However, I still suffer from all the major side effects and had to go on leave to try and just focus on my health. The most important one to me has been my weight loss. Since the beginning, 03/09, I've lost 60 lbs and am still loosing. My appetite has been little to none, but I am attempting to change that.
The answer is yes. If you do so, you may require a little less insulin.
The thing is some diabetics respond to chromium and some don't. The reasons for this are unclear. The Chromium sold in healthfood stores as Chromium (GTF) glucose tolerance factor is my recommendation.
The same time each day eary in the morning is best, at least in the beginning. That way you will be up and about to moniter glucose levels.

I have taken phentermine for weight loss under the direction of a doctor and lost 40lbs. I feel great. I'm continuing with the same exercise and diet regimine (weight watchers), that I was on while taking the phentermine and I seem to be putting some weight back on. I dont quite understand this. I was wondering if anyone knows of any over the counter medications that help to supress appetite because it seems the only way i'll stay thin is to practicly starve myself.
Have you been tested for hypoglycemia? Breaking out in a sweat is a common symptom of low blood sugar, and it is possible to pass out if the sugar levels get too low. Most healthy people find that their bodies fix the situation pretty quickly once the brain sends out signals for emergency sugars to be released from the liver, which would mean that the symptoms are temporary. So hypoglycemia spells could be the cause of passing out...
I was taking Raspberry Ketone and Chromium supplements for weight loss and I guessed this could be the result of a side effect?
I've always used condoms although I'm terrified one encounter was with a high risk individual. I had blood tests for diabetes and anemia a couple of years ago and I was clear.

I have heard that celiac patients may lack chromium as they eat no wheat. How do we know if she is lacking chromium? Would taking chromium picolinate help with insulin absorption?
