BioPLUS & Weight Loss

By now, I hope those of you who watch Know the Cause every day realize the fundamental benefits of taking a good multivitamin and mineral supplement every day.

But did you know that a good multivitamin could actually reduce food cravings and help you lose weight?

Because of some recent studies I've read, I am more convinced than ever that a multivitamin is a requirement for nearly every person in America. Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and we have to start getting serious about it.

One easy way to deal with it may be to start taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement every single day. I know what you're thinking - it sounds too easy. But a study published in November of 2007 in the British Journal of Medicine suggests that it could help not only with weight, but also hunger.

The researchers had asked over five hundred men and women about their diet and supplement regimens. They found that both men and women who regularly took a daily multivitamin formula had lower body fat than those who didn't. So, they tried an experiment. They took 45 obese patients who did not normally take supplements, put them on identical diets, and gave one group a broad-spectrum multivitamin and mineral supplement. At the end of 3 months, everyone who took the multivitamin lost weight. What's more, women taking the supplements reported reduced appetite cravings.

When I read this, I couldn't believe it. But then I remembered what I heard once about food cravings. Some people believe that the body craves more calories when it isn't getting enough nutrition from food. That means, you're more likely to stay full if you eat nutritious foods than if you're always eating junk. Taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement every single day is a great way of "filling in the nutritional gaps" that your diet may suffer from. You'll want to make sure your multi contains lots of antioxidants, and, of course, chromium picolinate.
