does B12 shot good for losing weight

[segal8479]

I was desparate to lose weight and I finally decided to go to medical weight loss center in Pinellas Park, Florida.  They give B12 injections and Fat Burners and also Appetite suppressants.  I didn't need the appetite suppressant because I wasn't starving but I did get the B12 injections.  In 12 weeks I lost 22 lbs!  I am convinced that the b12 injections helped give me energy but their diet is what really worked the best for me!  It was the first time I did not feel starved on a diet program.  They are all about changing your metabolism with eating right.  I have learned so much about what I was doing wrong.  I thought I was eating healthy!  You should check out their website.  They have great recipes www.poundaweightampabay.com  Good luck!

re:b12/weightloss

Interesting. I am underweight (according to WHO), and I am also B12 deficient, or B12 anemic, actually. One of the potential remedies to my B12 deficiency is B12 shots should the mega dose of B12 vitamins they just prescribed prove to be ineffective (malabsorbtion issues, I guess). When investigating the ins and outs of the looming B12 shots, which I quickly ascertained continue for life, I discovered that one of the side effects of the shots was weight GAIN, which didn't exactly have me doing cartwheels. (Like.... where does that gain end?) So I thought it was interesting when I read your post about the weight loss center incorporating the shots into a weight LOSS program. I'm so confused!
As a side note, they also have these new B12 NUGGETS, which are taken daily, held under the tounge until they disolve and are much cheaper than the injection at a clinic. Hard to find in stores but you can get them on the Web. Don't know if that would work the same way the shot would for weight loss, though, but don't know why it wouldn't?
