Hi, I’m Lewis from the DVCC. Welcome to the weekly DVCC TV show, where we can inform you on things that are happening at the centres, update you with some amazing results that our clients are achieving and answer questions about health, fitness and nutrition for losing fat and building muscle tone.
If you have any questions regarding fat loss or building muscle tone which you would like us to answer for you, please leave them below in the comment section and we will answer them as soon as possible.
So, underneath the video we posted today, we have three articles for you to read which I think you will find quite helpful for losing fat:
-
The first article is about staying hydrated and how that will influence your fat loss.
-
In the second article, Nathan shares his top three tips for losing body fat.
-
And we’ve included 20 dinner recipes that can lead to a healthy, leaner you.
Today’s question is from Rupert: “What are the best supplements for weight loss?”
Great question, Rupert.
The number 1 supplement we tend to recommend at the DVCC is fish oil.
By taking fish oil, you are going to accelerate fat loss by increasing your insulin sensitivity, meaning when you eat carbohydrates you use them to deliver nutrients to the muscle as opposed to storing them as fat.
Fish oil will also help reduce inflammation and joint pain, meaning that you can train for longer and harder within the training sessions that you take part in.
It will also lower blood pressure and improve your health.
The second supplement we recommend is magnesium.
Magnesium promotes a better quality of sleep and, as we’ve mentioned in other videos, increased sleep can increase growth hormone production and in general be very good for your health.
It will also help reduce carb cravings, meaning that if you are on a low carbohydrate diet, you will be less likely to reach for that chocolate bar; it will also reduce cortisol levels, which is your stress hormone and has an inverse relationship with testosterone. If you have well regulated cortisol levels you are for more likely to hit your goals.
The last supplement we highly recommend is protein.
Protein can help repair your muscle after you’ve finished training. Whenever we train at the DVCC, and if you’re training anywhere with weights, you’re creating muscle damage. In order to repair that muscle and increase your metabolism your body needs adequate protein.
Whey protein is very quickly absorbed which means having it directly post workout is the best for optimal results.
So our question to you this week is: What supplements do you use?
This has been Lewis from the DVCC, have a great day.
