<p>It’s possible.  Depending on what you categorize as supplements, they can be the difference between success and failure for many people. Just look at the success statistics of people using<a href="http://blog.dotfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/supps_small.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-202" title="supps_small" src="http://blog.dotfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/supps_small.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="170" /></a> meal replacement bars and shakes to assist in weight loss compared to non-users, especially in long-term weight control.</p>
<p>Before we start down this road of dietary supplements and weight loss, let’s remember that supplements alone are NOT a weight loss program, whereas diet and exercise alone can be. But properly used and formulated supplements can accelerate progress and make the chore easier, giving users a greater chance of sticking with their chosen method of weight loss. And on that note, let’s look at dotFIT’s position on dietary supplements and weight loss. <strong><a href="http://www.dotfit.com/shop/article.aspx?atid=2431" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.dotfit.com/shop/article.aspx?atid=2431&amp;referer=');"><em>C</em></a><em><a href="http://www.dotfit.com/shop/article.aspx?atid=2431" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.dotfit.com/shop/article.aspx?atid=2431&amp;referer=');">lick here to read more on dotFIT.com.</a></em></strong></p>

<p>Just in case you missed it, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to consumers to avoid supplements that contain steroids and similar substances like. So if you&#8217;re taking products that claim to alter, decrease or enhance the hormones testosterone, estrogen or progestin, you probably want to stop. Serious complications, including liver damage and stroke have been reported. We&#8217;re happy to say that dotFIT doesn&#8217;t produce any of these types of products because we thoroughly review the research and carefully examine the potential benefits AND downsides. Plus, we voluntarily use an FDA and NSF approved facility along with a 3<sup>rd</sup> party to certify our products &#8211; something few companies do.</p>
<p>We take that extra step to make sure our products are safe AND effective. And not only that, but we take into account your health history with a screening process that also incorporates your age, experience, and goals. Check it out yourself and get a supplement recommendation AND products you can trust. <a href="http://www.dotfit.com/shop/category.aspx?cid=1380" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.dotfit.com/shop/category.aspx?cid=1380&amp;referer=');">http://www.dotfit.com/shop/category.aspx?cid=1380</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the FDA Consumer warning <a href="http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm174060.htm" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm174060.htm?referer=');">http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm174060.htm</a></p>
