How can supplements support weight loss?
When losing weight doesn’t come naturally, it may be due to factors like a slow metabolism, reduced fat burning, or a body that’s out of balance. Certain supplements can help reactivate these processes. They’re not miracles, but they can be a valuable addition if you're already paying attention to your diet and physical activity.
Who are these weight loss supplements for?
These supplements are especially suitable for women (or men) who struggle to lose weight despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You might also find that you were losing weight easily, but suddenly hit a plateau. This can sometimes be caused by a sluggish metabolism at rest, fatigue, or a body that struggles to use energy efficiently. In these cases, targeted support can help you make progress in a scientifically backed way.
What’s the difference between weight loss supplements and detox supplements?
Weight loss supplements, like Fat Burner with green tea extract, support processes such as fat burning and energy metabolism. Detox supplements, on the other hand, are aimed at supporting the liver’s natural detoxification process.
However, the two are closely connected. The liver plays a key role in weight loss. When it becomes overloaded or fatty (something 1 in 3 people already deal with), it becomes nearly impossible for your body to break down fat. Fat accumulates, and your efforts yield little result.
That’s why Insentials includes Detox Boost in some packs. By first supporting liver health, you pave the way for more efficient fat burning.
What is a healthy weight?
A healthy weight is about more than just BMI or calorie intake. These can provide an initial indication, but say little about your body composition.
What really matters is the ratio between muscle and fat, how fat is distributed in the body, and how you feel. Two people with the same weight can look completely different depending on their muscle mass. One may be in perfect health, while the other has too much body fat. So no, weight alone doesn’t tell the full story.
Other factors also come into play, such as age, hormones, stress, and sleep. That’s why it's important not to focus solely on the number on the scale when trying to lose weight in a healthy way.
How quickly will I see results?
That depends on the individual. Some women notice subtle changes within the first few weeks, like fewer cravings. But it’s not always possible to bring a body back into balance in just a few weeks. That’s why we recommend taking our weight loss supplements consistently for at least three months. Stick to your daily routine and always support the process with healthy food choices and more movement. Miracles don’t exist!
Everything starts with healthy eating
A healthy summer body isn’t achieved with crash diets, random slimming pills from the supermarket, or weight loss medications. Weight loss often starts by eating a little less or simply eating better. Here are a few practical tips:
- Make sure half of your plate is filled with vegetables.
- Eat plenty of fruit, but combine it with a protein source like Skyr. Avoid fruit juices.
- Be mindful with carbs: choose whole grain varieties, limit the quantity, and avoid pasta, rice or bread in the evening.
- Ensure sufficient protein intake: think fish and meat (limit red meat), eggs, dairy, and legumes.
- Prioritise fibre, especially soluble fibre. You’ll find these in oats, legumes, carrots and apples.
- Even with a healthy diet, you may experience vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Top up with our Smart Vitamins. This duo-capsule multivitamin ensures you get all essential nutrients every day.
