The Truth About Weight Loss Products!

The Truth About Weight Loss Products!
Let's take a look at the 'big picture' in the world of
fitness and weight loss products and use a little common
sense. You'll see there's something wrong with the picture
in each case.

1. There are more fat-free/low fat foods, health clubs,
diet centers, exercise equipment options, and "miracle
drugs" than ever. With several options available, you'd
think that obesity would be all but obliterated as an
epidemic problem. Why is it, then, with the continually
increasing fitness options, the problem of obesity is at an
all time high, and going HIGHER??? More gyms, diet centers,
equipment, diets, etc., and we're getting FATTER???

2. Millions of dollars are spent on research to stimulate
"fat gene" without any significant outcome. Many studies of
fat loss products "seem to suggest," "may indicate," and
"may contribute" to fat loss. This sounds pretty
indecisive. Scientists are trying to find a fail-proof way
for us to bodies to melt off fat without exercise or eating
well, while it seems as though they're forgetting that
Americans are consuming over 150 lb. of sugar PER PERSON
per year!

While the search for the fat gene continues, Americans are
causing their bodies to hold on to their fat stores. This
is due to the hormonal changes that sugar brings about,
namely insulin. Each one of us has the ability to improve
our fat-burning abilities if we just get a grip on our
ineffective nutritional habits and start feeding our bodies
in a supportive way. The truth is, it's easier and cheaper
to buy 'sugar laden' foods than ever before.

3. Not enough emphasis on bone-building,
metabolism-boosting, body shaping, lean muscle mass. In
their 20's - 30's, American women lose somewhere between
5-10 lb. of muscle. Plus, the average woman's fat
accumulation ranges between 15-30 lb. As a man enters the
senior years, he often has less than 70% of the muscle he
had at 25. Despite OVERWHELMING evidence to support that
weight training (at ANY age) can stop and even reverse this
deterioration, most Americans who begin an exercise program
choose more aerobic activity and neglect the muscle-saving,
metabolism boosting, fatigue-fighting strength training.
Excessive aerobic exercise can actually waste away muscle.

4. Over-promising and under-delivering. Many of the claims
made on these cleverly calculated fitness gadget
infomercials are not only misleading, but they are often
not even possible with the equipment being marketed. It is
simply not possible to exercise 4 minutes a day to get the
body you want.

5. If something is sold in a health food store, shouldn't
it be healthy? Some over-the-counter "fat burners" are
actually addictive drugs that, if misused and abused, can
lead to seizures, stroke, and death. 6. Some programs
still advocate dramatically restricting calories.
Consistently reducing calories to an intake below the
body's basal metabolic rate can slow the metabolism and
bring about chemical changes that lead to additional
storage of fat. Training the body to process food
frequently is a factor in speeding the metabolism.
Americans, by cutting back on calories, are sabotaging
their potential for ever becoming lean. You'll be amazed at
how much you really can eat, and still get lean -
permanently.
