3 BEST Exercises To Help Fight "Menopause Belly"

Carb and Fat Blocker Stack: Orlistat and Berberine

1) Orlistat as directed

2) Berberine with last meal

You still have to eat a sensible diet.  Use myfitnesspal .com to track your calories, macros and weight. Also, start slow. Both Berberine and Orlistat can cause loose bowel movements. A multivitamin is suggested when using Orlistat since it may prevent the absorption of some nutrients.

Always see your doctor before starting a weight loss program or for questions about taking supplements.

Many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list its dose, or its dose ..... Yohimbine is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist (inactivator), ...

Normal protocol:
How to Take

Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details

Dosages of 0.2mg/kg bodyweight have been successfully used to increase fat burning without significant implications on cardiovascular parameters like heart rate and blood pressure. This results in a dosage of:

14 mg for a 150lb person
18 mg for a 200lb person
22 mg for a 250lb person

Supplementation is most effective between meals or during short term fasting.

Caution should be exercised at higher body weight, since the cardiovascular system may not be prepared to handle a stimulatory agent such as yohimbine. When supplementing yohimbine for the first time, always start with a half-dose and assess tolerance before proceeding.

Caution should also be exercised since many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list how much yohimbine is included, or if they do, the actual dose ranges from 25-150% of the dose listed. Since the dosage may be higher than listed, this is extra reason to start with a lower dose.
When pairing yohimbine with other stimulatory agents, half-dose both supplements and work up to the recommended dose cautiously, as two supplements can interact negatively.
