Q&A: Do B12 injections help with fat loss?
Q: I have heard that vitamin B6/B12 injections may help with weight loss, however they are normally taken in the context of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) so I’m not sure if B-vitamin injections would help on their own, or combined with a regular weight loss diet. Are B-vitamin injections helpful for weight loss?
A: While we do believe in optimizing nutrient levels for good health, we are not aware of any quality, peer-reviewed studies published in a good journal that prove B-complex injections accelerate weight loss.

He explains how it all works, while dropping weight loss, psychology, and science tips along the way. It’s also a great way to get to know one of our Group Leaders and get a “taste” of what an iDiet program is all about.
Glycemic Index – Good Carbs and Bad Carbs
The Glycemic Index (GI), originally used in research on treating diabetes, measures how much a particular food increases blood glucose in the two-hour period after eating. Foods with a high GI value cause a big rise in blood glucose; low-GI foods, only a small rise. The significance here is that low-GI foods have been shown to suppress hunger extremely well because the more stable blood glucose produced by these foods tells our food brain that all is well and we don’t need to eat again yet.
