The $9 drugstore cure that speeds fat loss for EVERYONE
To jump-start weight loss—no matter what state your metabolism is in—consider increasing your intake of B-complex vitamins. The body uses these nutrients to convert food into fuel, detoxify the liver, maintain healthy hormone levels and increase the production of appetite-regulating brain chemicals. “This helps level the playing field fast,” promises nutritionist Haylie Pomroy. “I don’t let myself run out because if I don’t take it, I feel a big difference.” You can get the recommended daily amount from three servings of foods rich in bioavailable B, like leafy greens and lentils. Or take a methylated supplement (like Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex, LEF.com/FFW). “A methylated B vitamin is more bioavailable,” Pomroy explains. As a result, the body doesn’t have to work as hard to metabolize the vitamins, which is key in an already-overstressed system.
