When searching for weight loss tips, one of the best sources is collection of success stories of people who have also had significant weight loss. These stories are not only very inspiring but very helpful as well when it comes to finding somebody who seems to be 慾ust like me'. For instance if you've just had a baby and are dealing with after delivery weight problems, reading about someone who had these problems and successfully overcame them can not only give you moral support, it also tells you the key things she did and you can replicate. Same goes for every other person in any other situation.
But how do you know that the story you're reading is really the truth, that the person really lost weight the way they said they have or the website on the whole is trustworthy? These are important and critical questions and it's good that you're asking them and not simply accepting whatever is presented to you. The sad part is that there really are websites out there that promote false stories to sell their products, be it a medicine, some kind of equipment or some supplement. But there are always tell tale signs and if you have a specific set of information slots you want filled when you read a weight loss story, the absence of information on any slot will tell you there's something fishy.
Here are some of the main things you should look for and look out for when reading a weight loss success story;
1. Is it Realistic: if a website has stories where people lose 50 pounds in 50 days, you're probably looking at a scam. The story will probably end up with some kind of recommendation to a 憌onder product' that will yield the amazing results. Another mark of being unrealistic is the absence of exercise. You may lose a pound or two without exercising, but significant weight loss without exercise is not possible. The story is giving you a false idea of what to expect from your body, even if it isn't selling some wonder drug.
2. No Promotion of Illegal Products: I've read a few stories that promote the use of steroids in the weight loss or muscle gain achievements. These websites build stories around the lives of people, who may or may not exist, take false pictures and relate them to their claims or hire models all making it appear that steroid use is perfectly safe. They then go to give links to various other websites that sell the steroids discreetly to you. All this is highly misleading. Steroids are illegal and dangerous. Using them can cause severe health problems, permanent health damage and even death.
3. Accreditation: websites like that of the Harvard Health Publications, which offer free news letter have the expert panel of Harvard Medical School to validate the advice that they give out. When looking for weight loss success stories or even weight loss tips, browse these websites in detail. Even when you go to websites not affiliated with a medical school or hospital, look for references about the authors who write the articles posted there. Who are the people, what is their experience? If they claim to celebrity trainers or famous health experts and are giving you some kind of plan to buy through their story or 憈estimonial' search the expert out by name on the web. Some will have said something about him or her.
4. Success Story Websites: instead of going to sites for some weight loss plan and reading the testimonials there, go to genuine websites made only to help people following a weight loss plan come together and share experiences. Places like The Weight We Were or ShapeFit are great for getting inspiration and excellent weight loss tips.
