There are so many diets, weight loss programs, useless exercise equipment and weight loss pills, powders and potions on the market today that it is difficult to know what is fact and what is fiction!
Worse still, most of these companies have one goal in mind, to get you to hand over wads of your hard-earned cash in exchange for little more than a weak promise!
It is a sad fact that every day thousands of people will part with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in the hope that they will finally rid their body of the excess rolls of flesh that have been hanging off their hips, thighs and tummy for many years.
Unfortunately though, statistics tells us that less than 5% of people who follow any weight-loss program will get results and an even smaller fraction of these people will be able to keep the weight off for longer than 6 months!
This is a shameful result for the weight loss industry and occurs because the industry is packed full of unscrupulous people who are simply chasing 'quick bucks'!
They have no concern for helping people, providing useful, factual information or making a difference in the world; they simply want to swindle as much money as possible, from as many people as possible, as quickly as possible!
Worse still, governments around the world are helpless at stopping these villains from snatching your money and then disappearing from sight!
Here are 7 ways that you can avoid wasting your hard-earned money on the weight loss industry:
1. Get committed. Before spending your money on any weight loss program, system or product, think long and hard about whether or not you are ready to make a life-long commitment to changing your lifestyle. The fact is that if you don't have strong enough reasons as to why you want to change and are serious committed to making permanent changes in your lifestyle, then the likelihood of you achieving results and then maintaining them long term is extremely low.
2. Demand proof. Any weight loss program or product must be backed up by an enormous amount of proof. The proof must come from ALL of these 4 sources: before and after photos, testimonials, scientific research and credentials of the program/ product creator. It is simply not enough to have before and after photos or testimonials from 'satisfied' users simply because it is too easy to modify photos or manipulate how the photo is taken as well as pay people to put their name on a fabricated testimonial. However, if these forms of proof are provided with good, solid scientific evidence as well as impressive, long-term credentials of the creator, then the program/ product becomes much more believable.
3. Use your common sense.Does the weight loss program or product sound too good to be true? If so, then it probably is. If you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off long term then you need to face some facts. There are no quick fixes or short cuts when it comes to losing weight or more specifically, fat. The human body simply doesn't allow it because body fat is the 'survival fuel' that the body uses when it is faced with a famine. Sure, it is possible to lose weight fast but most of the weight that is lost from 'fad diets' or other dubious approaches is water, muscle and a tiny amount of fat. A safe weight loss, as recommended by virtually all health experts is 0.5 - 1 kilogram (1 - 2 pounds) per week.
4. Is it a lifestyle or a quick-fix?The only way to lose weight (fat) long term is to permanently change your lifestyle. If the program/ product you are considering promises dramatically weight loss without permanent lifestyle changes then don't waste your money on it. You may lose weight initially but you are bound to put it all back on a short time later and generally more weight as well!
5. Does it use a multi-directional approach?The only way to lose weight and keep it off long term is to target body fat from many different directions. These include the 'Lifestyle Factors' of:
* Nutrition* Supplementation* Resistance Exercise* Aerobic Exercise
If any one of these are lacking in the program/ product you are considering then don't buy it!
6. Is support offered?The creator or promoter of the program/ product must be willing to provide you with on-going support in order to help you achieve your weight loss goal. Everyone who decides to lose weight faces challenges along their journey. Therefore, it is imperative that you are provided with support along the way in order to help you stay focused and motivated as well as to help you blast through any obstacles you may face. Without support, you have a far greater chance of putting the weight you've lost back on (re-bound weight gain) or even worse, not getting any results at all!
7. Is there a money-back guarantee?If a creator or promoter has complete faith in the effectiveness of the program/ product then they should not even think twice about offering a complete money-back guarantee! This demonstrates to the purchaser that the program/ product must be able to help people achieve what it promises.
