As I continue my weight loss journey post baby, I thought
I’d share with you guys some of the things I have been using and taking. I realized that post baby, my body doesn’t
respond to diet and exercise alone. So I really needed to incorporate some
supplements to help the results show (a tiny bit) quicker. I’ve gone through
some trial and errors with different products, and I have finally figured out
what works best for me. (Keep in mind, everyone one is different, and
everyone’s body will respond differently. Again, this is just what is currently
working for me.) Also, remember that eating clean and establishing a good
workout routine is essential. The key to a great body starts there. Supplements
are only there to boost your body in response to diet and exercise. (Diet is
not your cliché thought of depriving your body of food and nutrition. Diet is
making sure you EAT and make HEALTHIER choices – let me know if you would like
to see a general breakdown of what I eat during the day to help give you some
ideas on how to make better choices, while making it easier to maintain a clean
eating habit.)
I usually purchase all of my products through Amazon. They
generally have the best prices, along with quick shipping.
This is a great thermogenic
fat-burner. This by far has been the best on the market (for me) as I’ve tried
countless ones. This is the only one with a formula that truly helps burn fat
and boosts your workouts. Since one of its main ingredients is caffeine, it
really gives you the energy you want to power through your workouts – even on
days you may feel fatigued or lazy. If you want to purchase Super HD, find it
here.
This soft-gel is
really great to stack along with Super HD. It is a non-stimulant formula so you
will not feel jittery or hyper. Aside from the fat-burner, I like to stack this
with Super HD to help boost the toning in my muscles when I work certain groups
out. It helps give you that extra “pump” that we all LOVE to see as we are
working out! If you want to purchase CLK, find it here.

& CLK Stack, available here.
I tried sweet sweat a while
back, and I am not totally in love with the product, but it does do what it
says it’s supposed to do. This product helps you produce sweat in areas that
may not do so – easily. Along with added sweat production it helps flush toxins
from the body. I think that if you are going to purchase this product, you may
see better results using it in a sauna verses just standard workouts. (That’s
just my opinion) I did however use this product under my waist trainer, which
helped tone my stomach a bit more. If you want to purchase Sweet Sweat, find it
here.
I found my current waist cincher on
classicshapwear.com. The brand I chose, Squeem, is a great cincher to start out
with. After baby, you don’t really realize how much of your abdominal muscles
weaken to accommodate the little one growing. The beauty of a waist cincher is
to help strengthen your core muscles during workouts as well as shed inches.
The thing I like about waist cinchers is that you can wear it any time,
anywhere. For me, I mainly wear mine during workouts, when wrapping (more on
that further down), or in the late evening an hour or two before bed. To
maximize your results of a waist cincher, it’s best to wear it for a minimum of
6 hours or more. (That is just impossible for me, so I make it work to my
personal needs.) If you want to check out and purchase the Squeem Cincher, you can find it here.
Does it REALLY work?! So not too long ago I caved in and decided to check out the skinny wraps craze that has been all over instagram. A fellow mommy I follow started selling them, and after seeing her own results from the products, I was SOLD! The products that I have purchased and have grown to really love are the Body Applicators, Defining Gel, and Fat Fighter capsules. The body applicator is amazing to help flatten your tummy and get rid of any excess bloating. The defining gel really helps tone other areas as well as a great maintainer in between wraps. This gel is seriously something I don't think I can live without! I've noticed the biggest difference in my thighs as it has toned them even more on top of workouts. The fat fighter capsules are great for days you may have a cheat meal, and don't want the after effects to be so "drastic" - this helps block your body absorption of that cheat meal. Let me get one thing clear, I am not a pill popper or anything like that! LOL, so don't get the wrong idea that you can cheat your way around things with the fat fighter capsule. That capsule is just to use on OCCASION, given you may have had something too heavy as a one time treat.
I'm sure many of you would still be skeptical to even think about giving this product a try, and I definitely don't blame you. But I can honestly say that adding this in on top of everything else I am doing to really change my lifestyle and get my body back, has helped me begin to really feel confident about my body again.
If you are interested in giving this a try, give her a shout!

To some, I may be doing too much... But to me, I am just determined to do whatever it takes to get the fit, toned body that I want, in the healthiest way possible.
