THE QUIK-PIC SUPPLEMENTS FOR WEIGHT LOSS
MAKE WEIGHT LOSS PSYCHOLOGICALLY EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE
I could make certain limited health improvement without all of these, but using a whole arsenal made everything easier and not limited.
Go to these, then refine later if needed. Note that some of these will only be necessary to take initially as they will then, with the help of the others, balance your body so that you no longer need them.
Always test your thyroid! Always do the various "conditions-based" supplements in a gradual increasing manner, especially if several contribute toward the same function.
THE BASICS
__ Multivitamin
__ D3 - 5,000 units for a few weeks, then consider down to 2,000 units per day.
__ Vitamin B (Often depleted in overweight or unhealthy people, especially stressed people)
__ 2-3 1000 mg Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3) - This also stabilizes the body's functions. (Or flaxseed oil)
__ Probiotics
CUT, CONTROL HUNGER AND IMBALANCES OF SATIATION
Go to health store to get these right away, and also consider online ordering from SwansonVitamins, who I have found to be reliable and good quality. If you decide to do these, it is best to also consult your physician.

These will probably be reduced and then dropped by you over time, as you begin to normalize your health lifestyle. (Remember, your physician can help moderate and adjust these more appropriately.)
