Learn How To Easily ’strip That Fat’ Safely And Sanely For Successful & Consistent Weight Management
Don’t Be Scammed by Fad Diet Hype – Know the Facts Before Choosing a weight loss Program.
The dieting industry is HUGE. In fact, American’s each spend on average $177 dollars every year on weight loss products. Overweight people spend a considerable amount more than that, some even spending $1000s every year on new diets, chasing after the newest “In” fad weight loss miracle. Many of these “miracles” are at the very least ridiculous, and most just plain expensive!
Our goal is to help you to curb your spending habits, lose weight sensibly and safely, and spend your money on things that you enjoy in life. Dieting does not have to be like this. It should not have to be difficult or expensive to shed pounds. You CAN lose weight without such a strain on the pocketbook and the last thing a diet should be is a financial strain.
Like most of the larger commercial industries, dieting is full of companies that are in it for the wrong reasons. Well, wrong for us, anyway…right for them, I suppose. They are a business and businesses exist to make a profit. But the point is they would rather make money than truly help people lose weight. In fact, they have a vested interest in the overweight staying overweight so they will continue to buy diet systems and products…a vested interest in “keeping the game going”, so to speak. But that’s capitalism and that will never change. So it is up to you, the consumer, to become a wise, informed player in this “game” of weight loss.
So to put you on the right track, here is a list of “red flags” to look out for and avoid:
Expensive Pre-Package Food Diets
Weight loss can and should be affordable. Often times the actual diet plan/guide will require an initial outlay, but this outlay should be reasonable and minimal – any extra expenses and fees outside of this should be kept to a minimum. Sure, there may be a small, one-time investment to lose weight. And that’s ok as you are doing something to positively impact your life, and there really is no better way to spend your money than on products/services that improve your lifestyle and health. However, some companies are just in it to make the big bucks. Some of these companies are household names like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Nutrisystem. These are all companies that sell packaged food diets.
Food diets usually require you to consume a percentage of your daily meals with prepackaged items which are purchased from the diet companies directly .at outrageous prices. These diets typically have a start-up fee of around $300, and then the food expense is minimum $70/week. That is over $580 for your first month alone! These are known as continuation programs. They are created to make the most money with the least amount of effort for these huge companies. They get you in the door on the premise that you’ll forget about the continuation and keep on paying them even though you are not using or following through with the actual diet plan.
Hollywood diets
If you have read a magazine or watched TV lately, you have been exposed to one of the 100s of quick weight loss, Hollywood- type diets.
Lose 10 lbs in a week…
Lose 5 inches in 5 days…
Look like your favorite star if you drink this or that formula… etc
All of these diets are quick, unhealthy and unsustainable weight loss “programs”. Sure, you can lose weight quickly, but you could do the same by taking part in a 48-hour famine. Of course you will lose weight if you dont eat this is not only horrible for your body, but your brain needs food to function. Without food you are going to be very moody and unhappy! A majority of the weight you lose from these diets starts to come back on the very first day that you start eating normal again. They give you a false sense of hope and are highly unhealthy and toxic to your body.
Here are some of the most ridiculous diets being promoted:
-Hollywood Diet (juice with vitamins!)
-Grapefruit Diet (eating grapefruits all day!)
-Cookie Diet (there is no such thing as healthy cookies!)
-Hot Dog Diet (are they out of their minds!)
We would like you to take these fad diets with a grain of salt and save your money. They are unhealthy and the results that they produce are temporary at the least, and have the potential to be dangerous if taken to the extreme!
“Magic” Diet Pills
A large number of Americans have resorted to weight loss pills to shed pounds. There are so many companies coming out with these pills that it is easy to lose track. That quick fix is oh so very inticing. But many of these pills simply drain the necessary fluid content of your body making you feel thin. The unnecessary body fats are still there, so this really does not prove to be a proper solution. Some of these pills advertise they will curb your hunger and your cravings will automatically disappear. Is starving yourself really a solution? Absolutely not!
Natural weight loss pills typically contain ingredients that are found within foods that you already eat. Many of them include caffeine as the main ingredient, an element that naturally curbs hunger, increases metabolism and energy this is something that could be found in a simple cup of coffee…you don’t need an expensive weight loss miracle pill for that.
Pills are also very expensive. You are looking at $60 per month for pills and it is very easy to spend in the $100s on some of the more expensive ones. Save your money folks!
Secret Ab Equipment
The latest and greatest ab machine will help you lose 50 lbs in 10 days, so the ad reads. What nonsense. There are ab rollers, ab jumpers, ab twisters, ab rockers…there are 100s of ab programs, spanning from ab aerobics, to machines that look like they could launch you to outer space. The problem is that sure, you can build your abdominal muscles with some of these machines, but building abs (which are a very small muscle), will do nothing about the fat that covers up those abs. Having a low body fat to muscle ratio is what makes you look fit.
Next time you hear have amazing abs in 30 days, remember what you are reading here. Unless you have a healthy diet and eat the right foods and do the right exercises, you will not have that visibly trim stomach you have always wanted. You need a combination of a sensible healthy diet and a regular exercise routine to get in shape!
There you have it – 4 things that you should be looking out for! Remember, anyone can lose weight if they adhere to a proper sensible, SANE diet that emphasizes healthy eating and the right exercises. Weight loss really is no big mystery, folks, and there really is no magic bullet diet. weight management comes down to one basic physiological concept, and that is one must burn more calories than are being consumed, and the foods consumed should be nutrient-dense so as not to become malnourished. And thats it. And now that you have the knowledge to separate fact from fiction, the path to weight loss and a healthier lifestyle is wide open. Good luck in achieving your weight loss goals!
