Whether you\u2019re sunbathing on vacation or in your backyard, the warmer weather often sparks us to get in shape. After all, what\u2019s better than soaking up the sun in a summer bod you feel good about?\u00a0Hitting the gym and eating a balanced diet can go a long way to achieving this goal, but the right supplements may also play a role. Let\u2019s take a look at some of your best options.\u00a0 Chromium Picolinate When you eat carbohydrates like bread or pasta, your body breaks them down into glucose (a kind of sugar), which then enters your bloodstream. If you wind up with too much glucose floating around in your blood\u2014a blood sugar imbalance\u2014it can cause dysregulation and potentially contribute to weight gain.1 Chromium can help with this issue by acting as a safety guard for your body, regulating your glucose to help achieve normal blood sugar levels and supporting your weight loss goals.*\u00a0 Ashwagandha Feeling tightly wound? It might be stress that\u2019s getting in the way of shedding those unwanted pounds\u2014and even leading to weight gain. This is because cortisol, aka the stress hormone, is produced in response to prolonged stress. This can increase your appetite and make it harder to lose weight. Ashwagandha, an ancient super root, helps regulate your stress response by keeping your cortisol levels under control. Ashwagandha may be the supplement you didn&#8217;t know you needed for both appetite and stress!2*\u00a0 Appetite SupportIf you have trouble resisting those office treats or late-night sugar cravings, the Appetite Support supplement might be able to help. It contains Gymnema sylvestre, an herb that helps reduce your consumption of high-sugar foods by decreasing your desire for sweets and the satisfaction you feel after eating them.3 \u00a0Other ingredients, including chromium and Phase 2\u00ae Carb Controller\u2122 may also help by decreasing the absorption of carbohydrates.*\u00a0 Blood Sugar BalanceDo you find yourself eating a lot of bread, pasta, desserts and other sugary foods? Though delicious, these are high in carbohydrates, which can lead to blood sugar spikes, and over time may increase the risk of accumulating stored fat. Blood Sugar Balance contains a blend of benfotiamine and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). Benfotiamine is an essential B Vitamin that plays a critical role in glucose metabolism, while ALA promotes energy production in your cells. This powerful combination helps balance and maintain normal blood sugar levels to promote a healthy weight.* \u00a0About Hayley\u00a0\u00a0Hayley is a Licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Florida State University and a Master of Science in Dietetics from the University of Rhode Island.
