Be cautious about
dietary supplements that claim to help you lose weight. They may not work, and they could even pose dangers to your health. Dietary supplements may interact with your prescription
or over-the-counter medications. Also, some supplements have a lot of caffeine
or herbs, such as guarana, that contain caffeine and may increase your heart
rate and cause abnormal heart rhythms. Moreover, what’s on the label may
not be what’s in the bottle. Analyses of dietary supplements have found
weight-loss products tainted with prescription drug ingredients. However,
mind and body approaches, such as yoga and meditation, particularly mindful
eating, may help you if used along with a weight-loss program. Talk with your
health care provider before starting a new weight-loss program. Learn more
