Does this help you stay asleep too, or just fall asleep?
I have zero problems falling asleep, but after a few hours I wake up and cannot fall back asleep. I can't remember the last time I slept for more than 6 hours in a row...

So, it's helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. One of the biggest things I've noticed in helping to stay asleep is making sure my room is cool if not chilly. For me, anything 68 or lower seems to work.
Hey, @Xmas32! It's fantastic to hear that the supplement has been effective for both falling asleep and staying asleep. Dealing with sleep issues can be quite frustrating, and finding solutions that work is a big win.Your advice about maintaining a cooler room temperature, around 68 degrees or lower, is a valuable insight. Temperature can indeed play a significant role in improving sleep quality. It's a great tip for those struggling with sleep disruptions.For anyone interested in further exploring supplements related to sleep and overall well-being, you can click on https://fitnessclone.com/best-longevity-supplement/.

Hate to tell you but what you listed doesn’t exist. Even ozempic. It reduces your hunger/slows digestion therefore causing you to consume less calories.
Diet/lifestyle is what you are seeking. You cannot reduce just fat. You are going to have to reduce your intake of calories or increase the burning of them to stay in a calorie deficit. Even fat burner supplements are just glorified versions of stimulants. Which MAY burn an extra of 100 cals a day. And supplements of that nature which try to say they are of the non-stimulant variety are absolute bunk with no mechanism of action.
Save your money. Lift weights, sleep, move more, & eat better.

Thanks - I have lost around 15 lbs just by eating better since the first of the year. I try to exercise 3 times a week - but don't do as much weight lifting. - swimming and walking. At age 68 it is just hard to burn the middle tire off.

Weights or any kind of resistance training will benefit you immensely. Having ample muscle mass will keep you healthier for longer. And keep your metabolism higher. Cheers to your progress that is great work.

So one thing to remember is that there is no way to "target" where you lose weight, you think girls want to lose their boobs when they get skinny? They don't.
Keep doing what you are doing, it is clearly working.
Adding in any type of weight training will help.

So years ago I had a student and his Dad was the head of SWAT, so he would come in and speak to the kids and always bring those before and after pictures of addicts, the teeth always gone!
One time after his presentation I was bulls#!tting around with him and I go "Hey, why don't you have any before and after pics of steroid users" and he laughed and goes "Cause they look better in the after picture".

@TGHusker congrats on the weight loss, dieting and exercises.
Fiber. In particular, try eating more soluble fiber to reduce belly fat.
These have the most soluble fiber content - Black beans, Lima beans, Kidney beans. Drain, rinse, store them in refrigerator containers. Or mix them together in storage. About 1/3 of a cup to 1/2 cup will benefit a lot. Add beans to salads or eat cold or cooked. Also, drink plenty of water after eating beans to aid in digestion and stomach cramping, etc. Really works. And will keep you feeling full longer.
Vegetables, Root and Fruit that are high in SF but not nearly as high as the beans - Brussel Sprouts, Avocados (fruit), broccoli, Sweet potato (root), carrots, flax seeds (nuts) and of course oates and barley.
Also, pickles (and pickle juice) is a helpful food suppressant, because of the vinegar. And may help you go a few hours without food. Cafe/Coffee is also pretty good suppressant.
Portion control is very important. Eat small meals of course.
OMAD is achievable. Just make sure you keep the calories 1500 - 1700. (One Meal A Day). It doesn't mean eat 3 big hamburgers and plate of carbs in one meal.
Have you considered fasting salts ? Here is a link. Provides the electrolites without sugar that will keep you from feeling weak or light headed when you deny yourself food for 18 hours a day... or 24 hours... or 48 hours straight abstaining from food (self-starving).

And two more suggestions.
Sauerkraut has a ton of healthful benefits. You should eat a spoonful - one big bite a day - right out of the jar and from the fridge. Twice a day would be great.
Exercise, walking routine and simple calisthenics. Think of yourself as in boot camp. Put your gear on. Do simple basic body stretches for legs and mid-section. Standing up squats (no weights), There are plenty of stretching exercises that you can easily do for 10 minutes every morning before your first walk.
Walking and Bicycle riding are great for the belly/mid-section area.
Walking - do three increments of 15-25 minutes of walking per day instead of one long walk for an hour. It will make an impact. Stopping and starting when walking also helps. Perhaps stop to tie your shoes after every 5 minutes.
