How To Avoid Wasting Time And Effort With A Weight Loss Scam
Who else has wished they could just press a button and have instant health, beauty and youth? In magazine ads and articles, newspapers, internet, and especially surfing the TV late at night, you can find all kinds of "Instant - Easy - No Effort or Pain" weight loss claims.
Well as nice as that would be, the reality told by any good doctor or weight loss trainer is that those promises are like a smoke screen in a breeze ... it may work for a moment but not for long. What's worse, some of them are actually harmful.
It is a long proven fact that eating the right foods and doing the right kind of exercises for your situation are the "golden duo" for weight loss success.
The FTC gets a lot of complaints about false advertising with weight loss products, potions, pills, patches and programs. Their advice is to be careful and skeptical when considering spending money, time or energy on products that promise fast and easy results.
Put up the "red flag" and be very careful about investing time or money whenever you see any of these Seven Scammer Sins!
1. "No Diet, No Exercise - Lose weight fast and easy!"
Reality: Gaining and maintaining a healthy body takes effort and discipline.
2. " Eat all you want of your favorite foods and still lose weight!"
Reality: It requires learning about what are healthy foods and then eating healthy foods as a majority of your intake to maintain a healthy body.
3. "Take it off - keep it off - never watch your diet again!"
Reality: To maintain weight loss you're going to have to maintain some life style adjustments.
4. "Fat, calorie and carb absorption can easily be blocked!"
Reality: There is no magic non-prescription way of doing that. The most effective way to avoid absorption is with portion control. As a general habit, do not eat more than you need.
5. "Lose 40 pounds in 40 days!"
Reality: A slow and steady weight loss program is proven to be the best way to take it off and keep it off. Products and methods that give accelerated loss can ruin your health.
6. "This product will help everyone lose weight"
Reality: Your body is unique. There is no product that will always work for everyone. Use a good nutrition and exercise program suited to your lifestyle and most people can change their metabolism which then accelerates their weight loss. If after 6-8 weeks of a disciplined healthy routine, you are not seeing good results, then go talk with you doctor. Sometimes there are health issues that cannot be addressed with just nutrition and exercise.
7. " Use our Miracle patch or cream and watch the pounds and inches disappear!"
Reality: Do not believe these claims - they are outright FALSE!
So there you have it. You really knew it all along didn't you? No pain... no gain (except in your weight ). Get real with yourself. Decide what you are willing do to have a more healthy and attractive body. Set small realistic goals that you can live with forever and start implementing them now. Slow and steady will get you there!
