Natural/herbal weight loss supplements
Hi am currently going to the gym,but want to get a nutural/herbal supplement that will increase my metabolism,burn fat,promote lean muscle tissue.I have low metabolic rate,so althought I am training,trying to eat heathly,drinking fair amount of water,I still am not losing weight.I do not want rapid weight loss, but will appreciate a boost.I am taking centrum multi-vitamin. There r loads of supplements on the market,but I want one that doesn't increase ur heart rate.Once read about geen tea patches,pls any advise will be appreciated, on what to buy.

Dear Dylan
I apologise for only responding to your question today, but I had to have an operation last Wednesday, and although I informed the boffins who administer the Message Board, they failed to block incoming messages while I was in hospital.
I think you are on the right track with the Centrum as it also contains chromium which can assist with weight loss.
All these herbal pills and potions don't really do the trick, cost a lot and may give you very negative side-effects. Rather stick to a low-fat, high-fibre Slimming Diet on this Website (click on 'Diet' at the top of this page, 'Weight loss' , ‘The right approach' and then on 'Slimming Diet' for a copy) together with your exercise.
Best regards
