Losing weight can seem like one of the most frustrating things in the world, especially when what you are doing isn’t working. Before you get discouraged, check out these natural summer weight loss tips backed by real research. Some of them you probably haven’t even heard of! Also, make sure to talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement.

Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia Cambogia is not very exciting looking on the outside, but inside this Asian superfruit there is an exciting natural compound called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) believed to support healthy weight management. The HCA found in Gardenia Cambogia is thought to help by blocking fat and suppressing the appetite. In fact, according to a study it helped people lose an average of 4 pounds per month.

Calcium Magnesium Liquid Supplement

There are numerous benefits to adding more calcium and magnesium to your diet including helping to promote healthy bones and heart and preventing fatigue, headaches and muscle spams. However, one of the most interesting benefits of this mineral duo is to promote better sleep, which may be one of the keys to losing weight. New research is finding that sleep and weight management go hand-in-hand. Also, opting for a liquid supplement may be best, because it can deliver better absorbability to promote optimal results.

Essential Oils
Essential Oils are another easy weight loss tool you can incorporate into your daily routine. Research at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Institute of Chicago found that inhaling certain aromas can help curb cravings. One of the most effective oils is peppermint because it positively affects the brain’s satiety center, the ventro-medial nucleus of the hypothalamus.
