weight loss supplements for youth

skylark19 Posts: 6 Joined: 2002/05/14	2002/05/28, 06:10 PM Hey I am 16 going on 17 in a couple months and I was wondering if it is okay to take weight loss supplements like either betalean, hydroxycut and xenadrine. I have been eating good and doing cardio but failing to see results for a while now and I want to know what problems can occur from these products?

"eating good" is a relative term so you might want to input your food intake into ft's data base and see where you REALLY are as far as diet. You might also want to take a look at doing some High Intensity Training. I do that myself when I'm wanting to come off a bulk cycle and lose some body fat but I'm one of those guys that hate strict cardio and get mine that way.

Besides, Mike pointed out that most of what you want to achieve is really through a good, sound diet and cardio exercise. Develop these two things and you'll find you won't need supplements! As far as the search, just try typing Hydroxycut, Xenadrine, etc. Hope this helps... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
