Weight Management

3 products

Weight management is a matter of energy balance, sleep, dietary protein and habits held for months — not of a product. This is one of the categories where the promises are largest and the evidence smallest, so we would rather say so up front. Some nutrients have recognised roles in normal metabolism. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass, which matters while weight is changing. Fibre supports the feeling of fullness within a meal. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Green tea and L-carnitine are frequently asked-for ingredients in this category. None of this replaces a sustainable diet and movement. If you have a health condition or take medication, talk to your doctor before starting. Where to start: track protein and step count for a fortnight before buying anything — most people find one of the two is far lower than they thought. The BioHack generator lets you set a monthly budget and will not exceed it without telling you.
