Read More »Are vitamin B-12 injections helpful for weight loss? Answer From Brent A. Bauer, M.D. There's no solid proof that vitamin B-12 shots, also called injections, help you lose weight. Vitamin B-12 is a water-soluble B complex vitamin. It's found naturally in many foods, such as meat, fish and dairy products. Vitamin B-12 is added to some foods and is available as a dietary supplement. Health care providers commonly prescribe vitamin B-12 shots to help prevent or treat pernicious anemia and B-12 deficiency. Some researchers have studied vitamin B-12 to find out if it can raise energy and endurance during exercise. But there isn't evidence to prove this. And unless you have low vitamin B-12 levels in your body, vitamin B-12 shots aren't likely to give you more energy or improve your performance. Metformin (Fortamet, Riomet, others) is a drug that may be used as part of a weight-loss tool for people with type 2 diabetes. Low vitamin B-12 levels in your body can be a side effect of this drug. If you take metformin, talk to your health care provider about ways to keep enough vitamin B-12 in your body. Getting large amounts of vitamin B-12 through vitamin B-12 shots is not likely to harm your health. But vitamin B-12 may affect how well some drugs work. And some drugs can affect vitamin B-12 levels. So if you want to get vitamin B-12 shots, tell your health care provider first. If you're hoping to lose weight, avoid giving in to quick and easy fixes. What counts is a healthy lifestyle. Enjoy healthier foods in proper portions. And get physical activity every day.

It's hard to deny that metabolism definitely has a correlation to our overall weight, as those with a fast metabolism may be able to burn calories quickly compared to those with a slow and sluggish metabolism. Board-certified cardiologist Dr. Luiza Petre explained that metabolism is the process through which the food we ingest gets converted into energy blocks measured in calories. Every time you eat, she suggested that a set of chemical reactions in your body’s cells breaks down the food and turns it into energy. Although genetics play a big role in predetermining your metabolism, Dr. Petre suggested that there are many factors that can affect your metabolism whether it’s fast or slow. Among those factors include diet and exercise habits you indulge in daily. However, there are other surprising factors that can influence your metabolism negatively if you aren’t careful. To bring these potentially harmful habits to the forefront, we spoke to Dr. Petre and other nutritional experts on the subject to help you determine what lifestyle habits are actually ruining your metabolism without you even knowing it. Here are some of the things they recommend keeping in mind.
