Top 5 Fat Loss Lies!

There are alot of lies about fat loss out there! Why? Because people are trying to make money off of you and they'll lie to you to get your money!

Here are my Top 5 Fat Loss Lies (Federal Trade Commission backs me up on this):

1. "LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT DIET OR EXERCISE!" This is idiotic! Achieving fat loss and weight loss takes work! Take a pass on any product that promises miraculous results without the effort. Buy one and the only thing you’ll lose is money.

2. "LOSE WEIGHT WITH OUR MIRACLE DIET PATCH OR CREAM!" You’ve seen the ads for diet patches or creams that claim to melt away the pounds. Don’t believe them. There’s nothing you can wear or apply to your skin that will cause you to lose weight.

3. "BLOCK THE ABSORPTION OF FAT, CARBS, OR CALORIES!" Doctors, dieticians, and other experts agree that there is no magic non-prescription pill that will allow you to block the absorption of fat, carbs, or calories. The key to curbing your craving for those "downfall foods" is portion control. Eat less when you do eat!

4. "LOSE WEIGHT PERMANENTLY! NEVER DIET AGAIN!" Even if you’re successful in taking the weight off, permanent weight loss requires permanent lifestyle changes like regular exercise and good meal plans. Don’t trust any product that promises once-and-for-all results without ongoing maintenance.

5. "LOSE WEIGHT NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU EAT OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS!" Beware of any product that claims that you can eat all you want of high-calorie foods and still lose weight. Losing weight requires smart food choices. Filling up on healthy vegetables and fruits can make it easier to say no to fattening sweets and snacks.

Doctors, dieticians, and fitness experts agree that the best way to burn fat and lose weight is to eat higher quality calories, exercise regularly and increase your daily activity! Don't look for shortcuts! Work hard and smart!
