If you are wondering what is alpha lipoic acid and can it really help you lose weight, then continue reading. Alpha lipoic acid can be found in everyone’s body as an antioxidant and its job is to convert the glucose you consume into energy which in essence increases your metabolism. When you have an increased metabolism, it can help you lose weight.

This amazing antioxidant can also be found in small amounts in many of the foods you eat and enjoy today. Some of these foods you may enjoy eating while others may sound abhorrent to you. These foods include yams, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, beets, brewer’s yeast, rice bran, and red organ meat (heart, kidney or liver). So, you should only consume and focus on the foods you enjoy as you should not eat foods that disgust you.

In some instances, your physician may recommend you have lipotropic (alpha lipoic acid) injections to boost what you have in your body to increase your metabolism. If you opt for this, it is important that you only work with a physician whom you trust and has a good track record of helping patients achieve excellent weight loss results.

Before you choose a physician, it is important that you do your homework and only choose those who specialize in weight loss and have a history using the alpha lipoic acid injections. As you begin your search, you will see there are several physicians/medical weight loss centers out there who offer these injections. It is important to not blindly choose one without doing your homework as this could result in disastrous or nonexistent results.

The first thing you should look for is that they have a physician on staff who will work closely with you during your weight loss journey. If they do not have experience with helping with weight loss or the injections, then they will not be able to properly help you. The next thing you should look for would be for their testimonials or before and after photos. This is important because it allows you to see first hand how they have helped other people and the experiences they have had. While doing this, if you see the patient has had negative experiences then this should not bode well on you choosing that doctor or clinic. If they cannot provide before and after photos, then this should be an indicator to not choose them.

Once you have gone through this process, you should be able to find an excellent physician who can help you learn more about what alpha lipoic acid is and how it can assist you to lose weight.
