Milk Thistle Can Help Weight loss

Milk thistle 

Body fat is like a hoarder. But, instead of piles of trash in the living room, environmental toxins from things like pesticides, plastics, and pollution are housed in body fat. 

Your weight loss plateau could be caused by an overload of those toxins being released in the body as your fat is burned as fuel. Yes, weight loss can be toxic. 

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum), a potent liver detoxifier, can restore energy and fat burning by helping clear the body of excess toxins, which slow your metabolism.

For an active detox, while you're losing weight, try 150 mgs of milk thistle 1-3 times daily. For ongoing support, the dose is 50 mg 1-3 times daily. Milk thistle dosages are individual and too much can result in GI distress.

Look for a product that is 80% pure milk thistle extract. You can also use a blend that combines milk thistle with other herbs that aid in liver function. As with all supplements: if it works for you, go with it, if is doesn't work for you, move on.
