When it comes to weight loss, the market is flooded with countless supplements promising miraculous results. But how do you know which ones actually work and which are just a waste of money?
The Foundation: Movement, Muscle, and Meals
Before we dive into the supplements, it’s essential to emphasize that no supplement will work if you don’t have the basics covered first. My weight loss success was primarily achieved through consistent movement, strength training, and a balanced diet.
Supplement #1: Creatine
Why Creatine?
Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements available. It’s naturally found in foods like red meat, yogurt, and fish. Creatine helps your body produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy source used during high-intensity exercise. This means more energy, better workouts, and improved muscle retention during fat loss.
How to Use Creatine:
Take 5-10 grams of creatine monohydrate daily.
Consistency is key - take it every day, not just on workout days.
No need for a loading phase; just stick to a daily dose.
Benefits:
Helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss.
Enhances workout performance by boosting energy levels.
Affordable and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Supplement #2: Vitamin D3
Why Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is crucial for overall health, particularly for maintaining healthy hormone levels and immune function. If you’re not getting enough sunlight, which is a natural source of vitamin D3, a supplement can help fill the gap.
How to Use Vitamin D3:
Get your blood levels checked to determine if you’re deficient.
If needed, supplement with 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily.
Monitor your levels regularly to ensure they stay within a healthy range.
Benefits:
Supports hormone balance, including testosterone levels.
Boosts immune function, reducing the risk of illness.
Enhances mood and energy levels, especially in low-sunlight environments.
Supplement #3: Electrolytes
Why Electrolytes?
Electrolytes are essential minerals that help regulate hydration, muscle function, and nerve signals. When you sweat a lot, especially during intense workouts, you lose electrolytes that need to be replenished to maintain performance and prevent cramping.
How to Use Electrolytes:
Include sodium, potassium, and magnesium in your electrolyte supplement.
Adjust the dosage based on your sweat levels and workout intensity.
Benefits:
Prevents dehydration and maintains optimal hydration levels.
Supports muscle function and prevents cramping.
Enhances overall performance and recovery during workouts.
Supplement #4: Vitamin C
Why Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune health and recovery. During periods of intense training and weight loss, your body is under stress, and vitamin C can help mitigate some of the negative effects.
How to Use Vitamin C:
Supplement with a standard dose of vitamin C daily, based on your individual needs.
Monitor your health and adjust the dosage if you start feeling run down.
Benefits:
Boosts immune function, reducing the risk of getting sick.
Supports recovery and overall health during weight loss.
Easy to incorporate into your routine through supplements or diet.
Supplement #5: Quality Protein Powder
Why Protein Powder?
Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, especially during weight loss when muscle preservation is critical. While whole food sources are ideal, a quality protein powder can help you meet your daily protein needs more conveniently.
How to Use Protein Powder:
Choose a protein powder that suits your digestive preferences (whey or vegan).
Use it in smoothies, mixed with Greek yogurt, or even in recipes like protein pancakes.
Aim to meet your daily protein goals to support muscle maintenance and growth.
Benefits:
Convenient and easy way to increase protein intake.
Supports muscle repair and growth.
Versatile and can be used in various recipes.

I was eating a decent amount of fish but I think fish oil is tremendous for those who need it

So, meals, movement, and muscle were the most important things, but here's all these supplements I took and sell. 50 lbs in 3 months fast and take micronutrients, that's it and you're going to lose muscle.

[@JosiahFitness]

Literally don’t sell anything in this video lmao. I don’t even post affiliate links. Calm down

[@dbb7286]

@@JosiahFitness I’m pretty sure a lot of people on the Internet like that one just want to be miserable. “What can I be offended about today?” Sad.

[@kevinmeeks2787]

Hahahah LOL! Yeah there's not magic supplement to lose 4 lbs per week. That would take a daily calorie defect of 2000 calories!!

[@JosiahFitness]

Yep. And that’s what I was doing. It was awful
