In a desperate attempt to lose weight, people are lured into the multi-billion dollar diet aid market, promising quick results with little effort.

The vast majority of these pills are no more effective than a placebo, and some are dangerous, increasing the risk of heart attack. Information presented to the International Conference on Obesity concludes that there is no evidence that any herbal diet pills provide any sustainable weight loss results.

It’s important to understand that there is no magic pill which will miraculously cause the pounds to melt away, and a reduced calorie diet and regular exercise are the backbone to any permanent weight loss effort.

Weight loss researchers have identified key natural nutrients which have proven effective in promoting weight loss when combined with proper diet and physical activity. When you’re ready to make a healthy commitment to a new weight loss lifestyle, try adding one or more of these powerhouse supplements.

Resveratrol Revs Up Your Fat Burning Metabolism
Resveratrol has gained a reputation as a life-extending compound, found naturally as a protective nutrient in the skin of grapes, wine, grape juice, peanuts and berries. It has been shown to mimic calorie restriction in animals, preventing obesity and providing critical defenses against diabetes and certain cancers.

Research from the BMC Physiology journal provides the critical link to how resveratrol assists weight loss by increasing resting metabolic rate by 29%. This means that the body will use nearly one-third more calories when at rest. This provides a significant boost to fat metabolism, especially when coupled with a reduced calorie diet and controlling the timing of meals through intermittent fasting.
