Easy Ways To Lose Weight Fast: 3 Ways You’re Getting Scammed
Posted on June 30, 2009
Filed Under Fitness |
My research have shown that majority of us are actively seeking weight loss solutions that promise a lean physique without any effort on our part. Most of us are convinced that we don’t have the time, energy nor motivation to exercise or eat healthily, so we opt for “easy ways to lose weight fast” without reflecting whether they really work or not.
This overwhelming demand for miracle cures is exactly what’s fueling the scams that many diet and weight loss companies are perpetuating.
Observe their marketing ploys:
“Simply peel and stick to burn fat and lose weight!” (ad selling diet patches)
“Lose weight in just 4 minutes a day!” (ad selling a “revolutionary” - and way overpriced - exercise machine)
“Forget about long, difficult exercises! We have a range of treatments and surgeries to make you lose weight…”
“Take this pill, go to bed… wake up skinny! It’s magic!”
What did you notice about them?
Out of desperation, many people actually buy into these fantasies of a quick, easy, and miraculous physical transformation.
Sure they are just doing their jobs - but don’t you think you deserve to make a well-informed and educated purchasing decision?
Don’t fall for these tricks again. Here are just 3 things (there are many others!) that shrewd marketers don’t tell you amidst all the sales hype.
1. “Weight loss” is not necessarily beneficial.
One of the things marketers are hiding from you is that many of these miraculous wonder cures, wraps, potions and magic pills work solely by eliminating fluids from your body.
Here’s the rub- our body is 75% water!! Lose some water and you’ll lose weight, but you’ll still have the same amount of fat!
This is their idea of an easy way to lose weight fast?
Losing weight by dehydrating yourself is obviously ineffective, and the weight loss effect hardly lasts. Buying these miracle cures is just like patching up a hole on your shirt - it may patch up the hole, but it doesn’t make you look good nor solve the problem.
2. Starving yourself makes you fatter!
Some weight loss products work by suppressing your appetite. What the salespeople and marketers don’t tell you is that an extremely low calorie diet will actually make you fatter in the end.
When you starve yourself, you may lose weight at the start due to the big calorie deficit, but eventually your body thinks it’s starving to death so it switches to survival mode. When this happens, it burns off your muscles for fuel, conserves energy by decreasing your metabolism and - horror of horrors - keeps your body fat.
Is that what you really want?
3. The effects are not permanent.
Perhaps the most disturbing truth is that the benefits you get from buying all these “miraculous” products (if they work at all) are at best, temporary. That’s why you need to keep spending on them to “keep getting” the promised effects.
If you look at the bigger picture, it’s clear that although natural fat loss methods may take longer and requires more effort, at least the effects you’ll benefit from are effective and longer lasting.
Conclusion
The problem with weight loss is that losing weight could mean just losing water or muscle. So instead of having weight loss as your goal, aim for fat loss instead.
A tailored nutrition plan, exercise and motivational training are the hallmarks of a tried and tested fat loss program.
The results using these proven and tested methods may come slower, but the fat loss will be steady and permanent.
The truth is that there are no magical and miraculous solutions that can instantly give us the body we want. If there are, then why is obesity a continuously growing problem?
Recommendation
Still the best way to see what fat loss program really works is to learn from those who have already walked the path, and see how the same methods they’ve used can benefit your own body.
Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle program is the best one I’ve found about fat-burning and body sculpting
I myself have used Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, and while the results had been remarkable (I reached my target of 15% body fat within 84 days), what really worked for me was the whole process of how I succeeded. When I read Burn the Fat, I finally ‘got’ it, and from then on I was unstoppable. I had everything I needed to make it work: the motivation, the knowledge, and a proven way to find my very own fat loss formula.
