I am about to start taking supplements to aid in my diet / lifting routine. Being a complete beginner I need some advice. What are the best supplements to take for the main goal of fat loss? This is what im aiming at right now. I would like a list of sorts. Including anything like fish oil or multivitamins or anything.

Also unfortunately money is a consideration for myself being a student. Reading alot of article’s saying “cheap is crap and what not”. This is fair enough but I am looking to see if there is any sort cheaper alternative. If there isnt, what should I spend my limited money on?

btw, these forums are great.

Go to Supplementation/nutrition articles and read CT’s “supplementation” for newbies.

Here’s how my optimum fat loss stack would go, in no particular order of importance.

  1. HOT-ROX Extreme or some other fat-burner
  2. Flameout or Fish Oil
  3. Extra BCAA’s
  4. R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (to partition glucose into muscle instead of fat stores)
  5. Carbolin 19 or Forskolin
  6. Alpha Male or some other test-booster

(last 2 only if you have some money to burn, or else you don’t really need them)

If you want to lose weight, eat clean and exercise. Then you won’t have to worry about spending any money on supplements.

I agree with Rusty, eat right, and exercise right, then when progress stalls (months from now) you consider some help. But, diet and training should be in order for a long time first.

If your diet is dialed then HOT-ROX Extreme is what you want.

Yes, clean diet combined with a good workout program are obviously first and foremost. Then supps like Flameout and REZ-V are great for good health and also help to promote fat loss. Finally HOT-ROX Extreme is great for a fat loss cycle provided the foundation is already set ( again diet and exercise).

supplements should only be used to SUPPLEment your diet and workout. But green tea extract or sesamin have been known for their fat burning effects.

Yeah im thinking that I might wait before I get into any supplements. Get the diet and workout going good.

Is there anything else I should take from the start? Ie things like fish oil or specific vitamins?

omega 3-6-9 complex
green tea complex
yohimbe
caffiene
hoodia
in that order

were you not reading anything above your post? The OP took some good advice and agreed not to jump into supps so fast, and you are giving him a 5 supp stack, that is, at best, ‘eh.’

No one needs to supplement their Omega 6 and 9 fatty acid intake. We are already unbalanced in this respect (we need more 3, and less 6. i dont even know why you would supplement your 9’s). Also, we just suggested to the OP (and he agreed that we may be right) that he should wait to take any supplements and get his diet and training in good order first, so you suggest supplements.

OP, yes a Fish Oil (preferably Salmon Oil, or Flameout) and a multi vitamin would be fine.

Post your diet for the past few days and lets see where you are at, and we can give some helpful suggestions.
