Some people have metabolisms like a furnace, while some of us have metabolisms like a sous vide machine.

Even if you’re active and avoiding things that contribute to weight gain (think excess sugar, alcohol and frequent trips to the drive-thru), the pounds may not come off as quickly as you hope or as they once did, which can lead to feelings of frustration or failure.

But, before you beat yourself up, it should be noted that there are lots of reasons why some find it difficult to lose weight — and lack of discipline isn’t one of them. According to the Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, anything from sleep deprivation to contraceptive use can make trimming the fat far more complex than calories in versus calories out.

While GPL-1s are the buzziest weight loss aid, they’re not appropriate for everyone and maybe you don’t even want to go down that path to begin with. So, what do you do?

Some consumers are turning to Veracity, a doctor-developed group of products made of ingredients your body recognizes and can use to kick your metabolism from deep thaw to a high heat, if not an inferno.

It all starts with a simple quiz, where you share details about your daily experiences. Do you feel sluggish or bloated? Are you in menopause, fighting inflammation or struggling with brain fog? Once the quiz is complete, you’ll be given one of six protocols, each made up of supplements designed to address the specific challenging block you from losing weight.

Even if you’re not looking to specifically lose weight, Veracity has a variety of options to give your wellness routine an edge. Two hero products from the brand — Metabolism Ignite and Metabolic Power Protein, which I had a chance to try, are excellent options, regardless of whether you need to drop a few pounds or simply want to snuff out cravings while boosting your protein intake.

I don’t write about it much at Post Wanted, but I love a protein powder and the Metabolic Power Protein was right up my alley. Building and maintaining muscle, especially as you age, not only keeps bones and joints strong but also the metabolism. And what do muscles require to thrive? Protein and lots of it!

90% of Americans do not get the recommended amount of protein per day. This means a lot of people are losing out on one of the essential macronutrients for muscle maintenance, not to mention healthy skin, hair and nails.

Here’s why the Metabolic Power Protein is worth trying:

• 20 grams of plant-based protein per serving
• Clean Label Project Certified
• Made with organic ingredients
• Third-Party Tested for toxins and heavy metals
• Contains nine amino acids, making it a complete protein
• Doesn’t have any sugar

Another thing that makes Veracity’s Metabolic Power Protein special is the ingredient, MyoVera, which is made of a blend of minerals and amylopectin. These ingredients work to stabilize blood sugar and boost muscle protein synthesis when added to a protein.

And, if you were curious, it tastes great — sort of like a chai latte in the form of a protein shake. I made mine with lots of ice, a banana and a few frozen strawberries, and wasn’t disappointed in the outcome. It wasn’t chalky or gritty like some protein powders I’ve tried.

The powder can be used alone, but when paired with the brand’s Metabolism Ignite supplement, you have a duo made to not just fight the battle of the bulge but win it. Think of the supplement like a natural GPL-1, made of anti-inflammatory, calming ingredients that also help your gut health and trigger your body to start burning stored energy, aka fat, as fuel.

Based on multiple independent double-blind placebo clinical trials, the best-selling Metabolism Ignite has been shown to:

• Lower weight
• Increase satiety
• Reduce fat
• Lower cholesterol levels

While I’m personally not looking for a supplement to aid in the above, I can see the appeal, especially for those who may not require something like A GPL-1 but may need some help getting healthier habits in motion. It also doesn’t require a doctor’s visit or prescription, though it should be noted that you should always consult with your physician before adding a new supplement to your routine.

With spring finally here, there’s no better time to “spring” into action about pushing forward with all the wellness goals you made back in January. Although there are no quick fixes, there’s something to be said about having some support and thousands are reaching to Veracity for it.
