I take for my weight loss journey and why Start with vitamins things that I take every single morning Then we'll jump into what I actually put in my coffee What I use pre and post work out and then the other supplements that I utilize throughout the day Now I do take a multivitamin. I don't have a specific multivitamin that I take generally I buy the one from cosco the women's multi vitamin. I'll go ahead and pop a picture up here for you I'm actually completely out. So it's on my list to pick up I'm out of my multi and then I also take a fish oil supplement And this is again the one that I take is from cosco. This one's great It's a thousand milligrams and it provides 300 milligrams of omega 3 fatty acids I take one of these every single day as well only because I personally don't get in enough omega 3s omega 6s from foods I don't eat enough fish. I should but I don't so I supplement with a fish oil I also take the motivate hair skin and nail vitamin. I take this every single day as well This has really helped my hair be healthy. My skin have that elasticity Bounce back from massive weight loss the best that your skin can bounce back It definitely helps strengthen my nails every time I get a pedicure get my nails done They always comment on how strong my nails are and this has really been something that has been a big game changer for me throughout my weight loss We can suffer from hair loss thinning hair dry hair when we're in a calorie deficit And for me having this as a supplement has really prevented that from happening And I love motivate. You're going to see a lot of motivate in today's video I do have a 20 discount with them. So again, that will be linked down below And speaking of motivate the other motivate vitamin that I take is the motivate detox Now this just helps the natural detox process of the body just kind of helps that along Also helps with energy gut health probiotics enzymes just gives you everything you need for a healthy gut And to just help your body naturally detox. I really really like this product I've had huge benefits with this one as well Mine is the older bottle now. It comes in this beautiful shiny black packaging But it's the same formula and this is a must for me So the last vitamin that I take as part of my daily vitamin ritual is a probiotic right now I'm using these chewable ones from g and c their vanilla berry. I really like these they taste good I feel like they get into my system quicker because they're a chewable. They're affordable. In fact, I mean they're almost gone I actually need to hop on the g and c website and place another order So I would recommend taking a probiotic the chewable one from g and c I love Probiotics work with the prebiotics and food to help regulate your gut health So those are really all of the vitamins that I take and I take all of these daily Another thing I have daily is a coffee every single morning and I make my profit or my protein coffee So for me that involves pulling four shots of espresso from my espresso machine I do have the bravill barista express. It is incredible. I'll link it down below for you Best money I ever spent it pulls coffee shop espresso shots at home way more affordable And then I always throw in a protein shake Now speaking of protein, I didn't include any protein shakes or any Protein powders or bars or protein supplements in today's video If you would be interested in a protein supplement video What do I use for my protein supplements because I do utilize two protein supplements every single day And I have my favorites, of course if you're interested in that video Let me know and I will put that video out for you guys as well Today I'm focusing on the other supplements that help me with weight loss So in my protein coffee or my profit every morning, I actually put two supplements One of them is just better fiber. This has changed my Life I eat a very high protein diet and with that Sometimes we can suffer from constipation. That's very very normal. Even being in a calorie deficit You can suffer from constipation just better fiber. Like I said has changed my life I put two packets or two tablespoons of just better fiber in my coffee Every morning I mix it in with my hot shots of espresso It dissolves beautifully and I get in 10 grams of fiber And it really just helps keep things moving in the right direction Not to matter not to mention just better fiber is beneficial for gut health Helping you get in your fiber slimming down. It has no taste, no texture, no grittiness Actually Troy my husband mixes this in with water every day and just puts his just better fiber in a bottle of water It literally has no texture, no grittiness I would never take a fiber supplement purchase at the store. They have weird ingredients They don't process through your body the same way as just better fiber So highly highly highly recommend. This is something I take every day And the other thing I put in my coffee is collagen for her Now I am completely out of the regular collagen. So I'll pop a picture here for you I've already ordered it. It's on its way That a scoop of that goes in my coffee every morning with my just better fiber And then usually one or two days a week I will put in this product from collagen for her and this is the beauty collagen So this one has hyaluronic acid things that really help rejuvenate and keep your skin Healthy So usually I'll add a scoop of this along with my regular collagen and just better fiber once or twice a week Into my morning cup of coffee. So right now. This is all I'm using only because I'm out of my collagen I usually always have a backup. I swore I had a tub in the backup But I don't so I've already ordered. I love collagen for her All of the her supplements are made for women, which I very much appreciate Also collagen for her and just better fiber as well as motivate and one other company Cleans and Belize We're going to talk about today are all small businesses founded by women. So I love supporting that as well Now there are a couple other fiber supplements that I take pretty regularly. These are from the brand bell way I've actually shared bell way here on my channel a few times One of the products that I take a few times a week whenever I feel like I need a little extra boost of fiber In addition to my just better fiber are the bell way gummies. I'll go ahead and insert a picture I'm also out of those. I have ordered. I actually think they're going to be here today Both Troy and I take these you can take three gummies. It's going to give you that punch of fiber They taste really good. They have no added sugar. No weird ingredients I just placed an order for four more jars just so that we have them on hand This is just a great fiber supplement in addition. Like I said to just a better fiber There's also two other fiber supplements from bell way this one right here My husband uses every single day. In fact, this one is almost gone This one I do have a backup of this is the super fiber and collagen watermelon flavor So he likes to take a fiber supplement as well I've mentioned before that he also suffers with constipation It's normal for a lot of people believe it or not make more women than men But every but there are a lot of people that suffer from that for various reasons And he says that this really helps him in addition to the just better fiber to keep things moving in the right direction He just mixes this in with a bottle of water And he's also getting some collagen as well Which he says is important for him for his skin elasticity as well Especially as we continue to age and the other bell way product is the super fruit and fiber This is a psyllium husk fiber supplement. Sometimes he uses this. I would say that he more leans towards the watermelon I like this one. This one tastes really good. It has a blueberry berry flavor to it Again, you just mix it in with water and drink it now one thing to note about these two supplements I take them very rarely. My husband takes them daily So it kind of depends on your preferences But these two you have to mix up and drink rather quickly Otherwise they start to kind of congeal at the bottom of your glass or your water bottle So troy says that he literally mixes this in a water bottle shakes it up and just and drinks it So that's one thing to note But both of these are fantastic options for additional fiber and collagen now Let's talk about pre post workout type of supplements pre workout if i'm working out at the gym I always like to take a pre workout supplement. I don't take a traditional pre workout I don't like that tingly feeling that it gives you so I instead use motivate burn Motivate burn is fantastic as a pre workout. It is fantastic as a supplement throughout the day to give you added Energy now this particular one motivate burn has caffeine in it But motivate also has a no stim version that has no caffeine So the one with caffeine is the one I like to use pre workout It gives me that extra little boost of energy. All of the flavors are amazing. This particular one is cherry lemonade I love the cotton candy. I really love all the flavors every single one of them is really good I have several different flavors on hand What I do is I basically add one scoop of this to my bottle of water And I drink it either on my way to the gym or prior to leaving for the gym And that's what I utilize as a pre workout I don't get any of the weird tingling and jitters and any of the crash that pre workouts typically give me And it gives me a big boost of energy now. There is caffeine in here So if you're sensitive to caffeine, you may want to go with the no stim burn I like to utilize the no stim throughout the day, especially if I've had more caffeine than I need During the day, I don't want to add to that But I like all of the other benefits that come from burn energy metabolism boosting extra fat burning Focus all of those are huge benefits of both the regular burn and the no stim This is the strawberry kiwi and this is the miami lemonade. They're both amazing. I love them So I utilize the one with caffeine pre workout and then throughout the day I do use my no stim motivate burn just to give me again that energy that focus that metabolism boost And the extra fat burning not to mention they taste amazing And it's a great way to help get in your water And then I actually use two different supplements post workout Now I use one supplement when I go to boot camp post boot camp I use another supplement when I go to the gym and lift weight. So first let's talk about what I use After boot camp now if you didn't know my boot camp is hit training. So it's cardio with weights It's the only cardio that I do so it's considered to be one of my cardio days I also lift weights in the gym three days a week and then I have a rest day every Tuesday so when I go to boot camp monday wednesday friday after that I take demotivate recovery This is a supplement that helps rebuild muscles helps with soreness Offers bcaas gives you a little bit of extra energy and boost to make it through your day This is the strawberry kiwi. I have all of the flavors of the recovery as well It's really really delicious again. You put one scoop in with some water So i'm getting in just a ton of water between my pre workout burn and my post workout recovery I'm getting in lots of water. It tastes like I said really really good And it's just helping me recover from that cardio workout now when I lift weights, which is thursday saturdays and sunday I need a little bit more recovery power something that has a little bit more bcaas a little bit more recovery For breaking down muscle and muscle soreness and that's when I reach for my 6 a.m run I've shared this before it's something i've used for well over a year now My favorite is the watermelon. They also have a lemon lime. I purchased that one as well But this one for me just really is that heavy hitter after lifting weights because that's typically when I get The most sore and I feel like I need the most muscle recovery muscle building properties And again all of those extra bcaas. I also find that this one just helps immediately energize me post workout Same with the recovery. Both of these are fantastic. It's really preference for you kind of like its preference for me I do utilize both of these. I take one of these every single day Kind of like omega 3s omega 6s fish oils that I don't get enough of naturally through my food I feel the same way about greens now. I've really been upping my fruit and vegetable game I've been eating a lot of salads, which is typically not like me But I think the warmer summer months and it's hot here like 110 makes me crave salads a little bit more But I still feel like I lack green So I actually have three different greens supplements that I love and that I utilize I would I take a green supplement at least five to six days per week The first one comes from clean simple eats now This is like I said a great way to get in greens fruits vegetable supplements I like the one from clean simple eats because they have a ton of different flavors This is the little variety path. So all you do is mix one stick in with a bottle or a Cup of water and it gives you your full day's worth of greens and not to mention These ones from clean simple eats taste really good. There's Zero greenery, but you don't taste any greens. It just tastes kind of fruity. You have green apple Lemon tropical peachy greens and raspberry lemonade. I love them all I would say the tropical is probably my favorite, but these are fantastic I also travel a lot and these come in really handy because they are the individual packets I could just throw them in my suitcase take them with me traveling I have greens on the go and they're pre-portioned out which just like I said makes it really easy I highly recommend the sampler pack so that you can test out the different flavors Find your favorite and then they do sell their greens in a full-size tub as well I also like the motivate greens now I have some of the tubs, but I pulled out my little sample packs to bring in to show you They come in both peach and tangerine and again, this is from the brand motivate. These greens are really good as well Again, they're not greeny. They're not grassy. They just taste pretty fruity. There's only two flavors of the motivate greens There's a few more flavors of the clean simple eats, but I actually like them both I kind of switch back and forth between the two depending on what flavor profile I'm looking for in my greens The motivate is sold in a tub similar to the burn and then also in the little travel packs And then the first green supplement I discovered that I actually enjoyed that doesn't taste like grass is from one up nutrition These are the green and reds superfoods and this is in raspberry lemonade Now I will tell you that the sour apple is my favorite flavor of the one up greens But I like this one as well and again All you do is add one scoop to your water Shake it up and you get all your greens and reds in for the day I enjoy this one because again, it doesn't taste grassy That's really the theme with all of the greens that I utilize. I can't stand that grassy taste And this just gives me a fruity Delicious flavor gets in my greens and my superfoods Now there's one supplement that I just ran out of as well That was part of my recent clean simple eats order and that is their clean simple eats Collagen, I love the blackberry lemonade It comes in little packets similar to the green packets You just mix it in with water shake it up and it's going to give you collagen The more collagen the better in my opinion again, it's perfect for your hair your skin your nails skin elasticity I put it in my coffee every morning and several times a week I'll utilize the clean simple eats collagen supplement as well It tastes really good and again the more collagen the better another product from clean simple eats that I really really love Is the clean simple eats energy now? I have the strawberry watermelon and the hawaiian sunrise both of these taste so good Actually the watermelon one you can make the pink drink from starbucks out of this packet for way less points and calories This is for energy. So it says performance energy and endurance So what I like to utilize these for is either pre-workout in replacement of my motivate burn Or throughout the day for a little boost of energy about two or three p.m I can get that kind of afternoon slump and that's when I'll toss one of these in my water Again, I love the individual serving packets makes it so easy And they taste amazing and it helps me get in my water and last but not least four supplements is an electrolyte Now when I work out when we break down our body when we break down our muscles when we sweat a lot when it's really hot outside We need to utilize electrolyte supplements things like gatorade have electrolytes in them for athletes to help recoup Post workout post sweating post exercise my favorite electrolyte supplement hands down as element I've been using this supplement for a very very long time. It's an electrolyte drink mix That's going to offer you a thousand milligrams of sodium 200 milligrams of potassium and 68 milligrams of magnesium If you didn't know magnesium helps with muscle recovery. This is the orange salt. I love it There's no added sugar. These actually come in little individual packets as well So I just toss them in water and shake them up. I take them with me on the go Element in my opinion is the best electrolyte supplement taste wise has the nice has the cleanest ingredients There's no added sugar. There's no carbohydrate. And like I said in my opinion, it tastes the best I have several flavors on hand They do sell a sample pack if you're interested in checking out the sampler pack I'll link all the information of course down below for you That's a great way to kind of find your favorite element flavor So those are all of the supplements that I utilize a lot of these I take every single day and the others of these I take some or most of them every day as well Supplements are a great way to supplement things that you miss in your diet They should never replace food, but they're a great way to supplement. What's missing fish oil your greens your electrolytes I highly recommend taking some type of supplement pre and post workout And you can never go wrong with collagen and fiber to help regulate things and keep things moving in the right direction I will link everything down below for you.
