Gas it up, rev it up.
Has anyone ever tried Miracle burn as a diet supplement when working out?
I'm not trying to lose weight the wrong way here, I am just curious what people have used, and how well it worked for them.
I figure between exercising every day on the elliptical, trying to eat right, and adding more fiber to my diet, I may just lose some weight quicker.
I know I don't eat right, I pretty much hate most vegetables unless they are covered in some sort of sauce, like cheese, and my fiber intake is pretty much nil.
I don't eat many bread items to get my fiber because most wheat and gluten products cause joint pain.
Pastas, breads, all that kind of stuff, I end up hurting in my knees, lower back, etc.
I've tested this and had a few doctors confirm it for me, that some people do have issues with wheats, flour, gluten, and joint pain.
So on the suggestion of a friend, I decided to try getting my fiber another way, swallow it down in a pill.
I already take a bunch of pills every day, what's another one added to the mix right?
Wrong.
See, when you don't normally consume lots of fiber, your body has to take some time to adjust to it, and during that adjustment period, you end up a bit, shall we say, gassy.
This is the 4th day taking the Benefiber, and let me tell you, it's like I won the chili eating contest.
Woo-eee!
I'm not even taking the recommended dose, it says to take 3, 3 times a day.
I'm only taking 3 a day, and I've got enough gas to power a car.
I am trying to imagine if I actually took all 9 caplets they recommend.
It's a scary thought.
So what are your health supplements, what do you take to help you get your weight under control, help you lose it, and to help you get the stuff your body needs without having to actually ingest all those fruits and veggies?

How about high-fiber cereals like Shredded Wheat? Apples are good. Celery is good too because it's very fibrous and you can spread yummy stuff like peanut butter on it.

P.S. Scratch the Shredded Wheat -- since you have the gluten issue!!
