Don't Pin Your Fat Loss Hopes On Products!

There is a flood of products that supposedly help you burn fat and lose weight. At best, these products are temporary solutions to your fat and weight problem! A general rule for you to follow with regards to fat loss/weight loss is this: Don’t waste your money if the program offers a quick solution to your weight problem! Why? You need a permanent solution to your weight problem. A permanent solution takes hard, smart work and sacrifice on your part. Human nature always seeks the path of least resistance.

Some of these products are: Hoodia, green tea, numerous fat burn products, fat loss pills, patches, creams......you fill in the blank! If you are significantly depending on these products to fix your problem, you will be disappointed with a lighter wallet to boot! And, some of these products are potentially harmful (remember ephedra)! If you're wondering about the safety of any supplement, check out the "Generally Regarded As Safe" (GRAS) list published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Doctors, dieticians, and fitness experts agree that the best way to lose fat and weight is to eat higher quality calories and increase your physical activity. Weight training (including body weight training) and interval cardio exercise will tone your body and provide the heart health you need. Just make the commitment and work hard! Your body will thank you!

It is a point worth repeating all over the internet because so many people are looking for a quickfix and it's out there, everywhere, in magazines, TV commercials, in stores. The products are thrown in the face of those who feel desperate to loose weight and unfortunately they fall for it sometimes paying a high price with their health and money.

Thanks for including better alternatives.

Comment by Lisa Newton on May 24, 2008 at 7:21pm: I agree to a certain extent, but weight loss will give the needed health benefits, such as preventing diabetes and heart disease.

Comment by SpinDiva on May 25, 2008 at 1:47pm: As with any food type diet out there, it's about moderation. I remember the grapefruit diet, people were eating more than their fair share thinking the more I eat the more weight I'll loose--in actuality we should consume lots of fruits and vegetables.

We eat for the benefit of our health and I think all other benefits (fat loss=weight loss) will fall into place. If you burn fat then you'll loose weight which will in turn improve your health.

Comment by SpinDiva on May 27, 2008 at 4:31am: You're right Mark and that's why we should strive for gaining lean muscle mass...lean is in...OK I'm on a high right now so i'm going to get the kids out of here and go to the gym for a high powered Strength training class- I get to teach today!!
