Fat-burning supplements, which promise to rev up your metabolism and suppress appetite, may be more harmful than helpful. In fact, several of these contain chromium picolinate, which may lead to cell damage linked to mutations, which have the possibility of causing cancer. Anyone considering taking a nutritional supplement should check with his or her physician.

The use of some herbal supplements can cause anything ranging from episodes of high blood pressure, heart-rate irregularities, insomnia, nervousness, tremors and headaches to seizures, heart attack, stroke and death. Moreover, some metabolic accelerators contain a potent thyroid hormone and may cause heart attacks and strokes.

Lose weight chewing gum

A new study suggests that you expend about 11 calories per hour by chewing gum (which could equal a weight loss of 10 pounds if you chew gum during walking hours every day for a year).

Of oatmeal and weight loss

Eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast may help in weight control by curbing appetite at lunch, suggests a new study. Lunch intakes were significantly smaller for those who ate oatmeal for breakfast compared with those who had sugared corn flakes.

Doctors also found that people who ate oatmeal were less hungry immediately after and 90 minutes later than those who ate sugared cereal. The fibre in oatmeal, which takes longer to leave the stomach, may contribute to the feeling of fullness.
