My Easy Way to Lose Weight – Did I Follow an Effective Technique or Was It Yet another Marketing Scheme?
If I had a dollar for every formula I’ve seen claiming to show an easy way to lose weight I could probably buy an island in Tahiti and retire. I usually don’t talk about weight loss solutions, but I must admit this one is special and definitely worth trying. They start off by telling you that everything you heard so far on how to lose weight is plain wrong.
One of the main points the solution is based on is that you need to lose body fat, not weight. A lot of weight loss formulas out there eliminate water from your body – around 10 pounds or so, which you will probably gain back soon – which doesn’t mean you lost body fat, you are just (dangerously) dehydrated! Others are based on, quite literally, starving yourself. That’s silly and dangerous, because you will also lose muscular mass next to some body fat. Low carbohydrate diets make you lose energy and that’s about it – there’s hardly any permanent fat loss to be noticed. All in all, the point of this formula is that you shouldn’t deprive yourself of delicious food. You should eat the right foods, in the right amounts at the right time.
The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar machine that wants you to stay fat. They bank on selling you all sorts of wonder formulas, gym equipment, dieting recipes, exercise DVDs and what not, one month after another. They want you to stay fat, because this makes them money. I know, it sounds a bit like the scenario from some conspiracy movie, but there may be some truth in it!
Gym equipment is worthless – it won’t help you lose weight, the only thing that goes thinner is your checkbook. Similarly, cardio exercise is boring and doesn’t help, you will hardly see any results after a thousand pushups or sit-ups every day for months in a row. Don’t waste your time and don’t torture your body!
Celebrity endorsed magical solutions are very expensive and, most often, inefficient. What they forget to tell you about on those “endorsed by Oprah” or “as seen on CNN” ads is that they cost an arm and a leg and it’s a long-term formula that is more likely to drain your account sooner than you will notice any improvements in your body shape.
The solution advertised as an easy way to lose weight is not an exhaustingly long regime; you will see results in a matter of weeks, not months. And you can set your own limits and goals: you can lose 60 pounds or only 10. It’s all up to you. You’re in charge – you decide how far you want to go and when enough is enough.
