In order to lose weight (permanently) you must, must exercise. My recommendation? Walking and yoga (which offers cardio work, flexibility and strength training all in one easy package). In order to support a new workout, try this adaptogen herb (adaptogens help the body adapt to the stress of change—both physical and mental). Ginseng isn’t a miracle supplement (well, in my humble opinion, all herbs are miraculous, but you know what I mean) and won’t re-sculpt your body overnight. It will, however, give you more access to stored energy, make you less tired and, therefore, more likely to stick to a new routine. Try capsules or a tincture, following recommended doses (and remembering that these doses are designed for a 150lb adult, so adjust accordingly). For optimum results, take ginseng in an on-again, off-again fashion (i.e. one month at a time, take a two-week respite from the herb, then repeat).
