suggests: "‘Caffeine is probably the most effective of the supplements that we know of now,’ said Sherri Flynt, R.D., Florida Hospital, Orlando, FL.

It speeds up metabolism and suppresses appetite. But some products may have the equivalent of thirty cans of coke."

With so many weight loss supplements on the market, you need to read the label of any product you're considering using with extreme care. If you're not sure what a particular ingredient is, look it up online with "contraindications" or "problems" added to the search query.

For example, if you wanted to check out Ephedra, a common ingredient in many weight loss supplements, enter into Google "Ephedra +problems" (without the quotation marks), and you'll see many pages which reference concerns with Ephedra.

How many times have you "failed" on your diet? Diet expert Ian Smith explains how to play with your mind to help your body.

He says: "People fail diets, diets don’t fail people... the reason people fail diets is because most people who go on a diet have not reached their motivational core. Dieting is 75 percent mental, it really is. It’s not that you can’t do it physically. It’s whether or not psychologically you can motivate yourself to get beyond all the deterrents and obstacles and distractions to actually do it."

Build your motivation first

Before you start another diet, build your motivation first. Are you sure you really want to lose weight? Are you willing to trade fast food for a slim body? If you'd rather have the fast food, there's nothing wrong with that. You may not be ready to diet yet.

If you're not ready to take another leap into the diet and weight loss arena, just explore healthy eating. Aim to increase your intake of healthy food. Eating healthier is a diet too. And it may even be the one diet that succeeds for you.

If you want to lose weight, you may consider fasting, but it's not for weight loss. I've used juice fasting myself at various times, and found that it gave me more energy.

However, Fasting is fine for the spirit, but not for weight loss states: "Fasting to lose weight is a bad and risky idea,' said Scott Crow, professor of psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. He added that some people who do fast for weight loss can end up with eating disorders."

Fasting is not an ultimate weight loss solution. We all need to eat, and we all need to eat a healthy diet. Eliminating food completely is not an option. If you're considering fasting, make sure that you visit your doctor first, and be guided by his/ her advice.

Fasting can bring any physical challenges you have to light very quickly. It can also make those challenges worse. So if you're considering any kind of fast, visit the doctor. For a healthy person, a one or two day juice fast can improve your sense of well being, but it's not a weight loss solution.
