Does anyone know of any good weight loss supplements they would recommend? I'm a girl, 23 years old, in good health, just looking to lose some weight and tone up a bit (in my arms and stomach) I'm planning on changing my diet and exercising to accommodate the supplements and don't expect them to do all the work, I just want a little boost, and preferably something that will give me some energy. I'd like some that I could purchase in person (from walmart, GNC, or a vitamin/supplement store, but I guess I am also open to ones that can only be purchased online.

Any suggestions?

Far and away, the biggest factor is diet. Cut out the white carbs, get enough protein, healthy fats and green veg.

After that, a good supplement is green tea. There's a lot of research to show it helps fat burning and has a lot of health benefits. You can buy it as a tea and drink it, rather than as a tablet.

A cup of black coffee before workouts has the effect of making you work a little harder for a little longer.

Anyone on a restricted diet could probably benefit from a good multi-vitamin, a fish oil supplement, and a good cal/mag.
