THE RUN DOWN
It's never too late to start losing weight! In fact, While it may get tougher as we grow older, it also becomes more important to our health to make sure we are keeping our weight in check.
Making sure you are following a healthy diet doesn't mean you have to eat boring food or starve to death, just know what and how much you are putting into your body, and keep up with regular exercise to ensure you have the best chances of losing weight. Even with the above plans in place, we know it can be a long and testing journey to lose weight, that's where supplements can help give you an extra edge.
Fat Burners
Weight management supplements come in a few different forms.
You have powders, pills and liquids.
For the most part, pills and powders are similar in ingredients when you are looking at complete fat burning formulas, but offer an alternative method of ingestion.
Some people prefer the ease of taking pills like Cellucor Super HD Xtreme while others like flavoured powders such as Optiburn Amped that they can sip on. It just comes down to preference.
You can also find powders of individual fat burning ingredients such as Platinum Labs Acetyl l-Carnitine.
Acetyl l-Carnitine is an Amino Acid that you will find in almost every fat burner on the market today.
One of its benefits include transporting fatty acids into your cell’s mitochondria which allows your body to burn the fatty acids during exercise and promotes a healthier, leaner physique.
Carnitine can also be found in liquid form which is absorbed faster than pill or powder form.
WPI Proteins
Your body needs protein help build muscle. There are however many forms of protein powders, some of which will benefit you if your goal is to lose weight, and others that are designed to pack on size.
The difference being the form of protein and any extras that are added such as Carbohydrates or thermogenic compounds.
To keep it simple, the best form of protein for weight loss is WPI, or Whey protein Isolate.
WPI is the purest form of whey protein and yields the highest percentage of protein per gram.
Other benefits vary on the fillers added to protein powders but pure WPI can be virtually lactose free, carbohydrate free, fat free and cholesterol free.*
WPI will help you reach your daily protein requirements without blowing out any of your other macros.
Test Boosters
As we get older, our body starts to produce less and less natural testosterone. While most people know testosterone is great for building muscle, its benefits actually go far beyond that.
Natural Test booster supplements can be a great addition for older men looking to loose weight and keep lean muscle.
BCAAs
Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs are a great addition to any supplement stack.
Perfect for taking during your workouts or sipping on throughout the day on non training days, BCAAs can help promote muscle protein synthesis, improve recovery and increase muscle mass over time.
You can also find BCAA powders with added extras such as electrolytes which make them the perfect Intra-workout supplement.
