Weight Loss the Balanced Way: Diet, Exercise and Supplements in Portugal
Weight loss starts with your plate and your training. If you are looking for weight loss supplements, it is worth knowing the essentials: no supplement makes you lose weight on its own. Weight control depends on a varied and balanced diet, matched to your energy needs, and on regular physical activity. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle — they can only help you organise your diet better.
Protein powder for everyday use. In this collection you will find Applied Nutrition Diet Whey Protein (450 g and 1 kg) and BioTechUSA Diet Shake (720 g). The word "diet" is part of the trade name and refers to the formulation, not to any effect on weight. These shakes are not meal replacements: use them alongside your meals. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. See more options in protein and whey isolate.
Chromium: a mineral with an authorised claim. NOW Foods Tri-Chromium 500 mcg provides chromium, which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to normal macronutrient metabolism. These claims do not mean weight loss. Find other minerals in minerals.
Plant extracts, no promises. NOW Foods Garcinia 1000 mg (Garcinia cambogia extract) and Water Out (a formula with plant extracts) are described only by their composition, because there are no authorised EU health claims for these extracts. If you take medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before using them. More products in herbal supplements.
