There are many such powders available in the market which claim that they can help in weight loss.Slimquick powder manufacturers claim to reduce food cravings, maintain hormone balance, cause appetite suppression and inhibit water retention and slow metabolism with its use .It is also fortified with nutrients like folic acid,calcium,vitamin K and vitamin D.
I'd first consider just adding another healthy meal. Most shakes doctors know about aren't particularly healthy. You can make your own, but to play it safe I'd try using rice protein as the base -- most shakes are either dairy or soy and they are both common allergens and many people don't tolerate them well.
Is the "flaxseed meal" you speak of come already ground up? I have read that flaxseed does no good unless it's ground up.
There's no magic bullet.. I take magnesium, flaxseed oil, omega 3, hibiscus tea, grape seed extract and beet root powder. Walk 2-5 miles per day and take 5mg of Lisinopril to stay around 125/130 over 80/85 most of the time at the age of 56. I'd have to stop everything to gauge the real effectiveness but I'm guessing I'd be at 10 or 20 mg of Lisinopril. Hard to get around genetics sometimes..

I was having usual symptoms of hypothyroidism - fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss, etc. Have been on Levothyroxine for several months now and have seen improvements in all symptoms except hair loss. I'm also on Plavix (due to a TIA), which I understand can also cause hair loss. I started on it shortly before beginning to exhibit thyroid symptons. I've had breast cancer, so can't take estrogen.
I have Whiplash,cervical sprain,pinched nerve,and one disk in my neck is going one way,another the opposite way.It was caused from standing on the top of a kitchen chair.My son was sitting on the chair and got up,I fell.I have 20 plus finches,there up very high.Two of the baby birds fell out of their nest,one didn't make it,the other one did,I put it in its nest,but fell.My head hit the fridge on the way down.It also caused 3 bulging disks in my back,shoulder pain also.
Cinnamon is a metabolism booster so I put it on air-popped popcorn, oatmeal, and toast. Another thing that I read was good for weight loss is coconut oil...so good! I use it on everything! I put flaxseed in my smoothies everyday and sometimes chia seed. I eat raw almonds for a crunchy snack. I drink Bod.e Burn before I exercise though I usually just take a long walk. Just get up and move! Remember to eat every 3 hours...a lean protein, a complex carb, and a healthy fat! Drink lots of water...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with weight loss supplements from stores like Gnc or the vitamin shoppe. I just need something to get me started. My doctor prescribed me an amphetamine medication but I decided not to take it because I don't like to take narcotic meds. Any experience and feedback is welcomed.
Complan comes to mind. It is not a weight loss formula.
This is the write up on Complan:
Complan is specially designed to provide a balanced nutritional meal when you may be experiencing a lack of appetite. Each drink provides essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and iron to support immunity, protein for muscle growth and maintenance, B vitamins to release energy as well as calcium and vitamin D to promote strong bones.
