Do fat loss supplements really help you lose fat? The weight loss
supplement industry and the stores marketing these products would like
you to believe so because it allows them to take your hard earned
money. However, before you jump on the bandwagon and think about
running out to pick up the latest fat loss supplement, let's take a
closer look at whether these supplements actually work or not.
Everywhere you look supplements that claim to boost your thyroid,
enhance your metabolism, burn fat or block carbs are flying off the
shelves of stores almost faster than they can be stocked. It is not
wonder, either since the advertising for these products is so
seductive. After all, who wouldn't love to find a "magic pill" that
helped them to drop fat quickly?
When you think about it, though, with the sheer numbers of these
products being sold in the USA alone, don't you think that people
should be becoming thinner? If these products really worked it would
seem that more and more people would become thin and getting their
dream bodies. Instead, though, even as sales of these "amazing"
products continue to rise, so do the obesity rates. Logically you can
assume, then, that these fat loss supplements are not all that they
are cracked up to be.
Think about this as well. Say someone does come out with a product
that makes people thin overnight. Chances are that they are not going
to sell it - at least not at full strength. From a business
standpoint, someone who is overweight and desperate is the ideal
customer because they will spend money again and again trying to find
the solution to their problem.
These companies that manufacture fat loss supplements know this and
use it to take advantage of you and to keep getting you to spend your
money with them. They may make a product that does just enough of what
it promises to give you hope that it will work, but not enough to give
you the results that you really want. Then, the next greatest thing in
diet pills comes out and you have some hope because of your partial
success with the first product, so you buy the new one too. You become
like a cash machine for these companies and they know they can keep
selling you stuff that sort of works but doesn't really help over and
over again. It is not in their best interest to help you lose fat for
good.
If that doesn't make you angry, it should since you are being taken
advantage of.
If you really do want to lose fat, the only true way to do it that
will give you lasting results and get you the body that you want is
through diet and exercise. "Sure," you say, "but I've tried diet and
exercise and everything I tried just didn't work!" There's probably a
good reason for that. Let me explain.
See, most diets focus on losing weight rather than losing fat. When
you diet to lose weight you can also lose your muscle tone and you can
lose water weight, neither of which are going to help you to get the
body that you want. Not only that, but most diets do not provide your
body with enough calories to use for energy so your metabolism slows
down to compensate for the decreased calories that you are taking in.
When that happens it becomes even more difficult to lose weight and as
soon as you go off the diet you wind up gaining that weight right back
again.
Instead, when you focus on dieting and exercising to lose fat, you
actually lose fat and not muscle tone or water weight. You eat
frequently to keep your metabolism from slowing down and to give your
body the energy that it needs. You increase the amount of muscle in
your body which helps to boost your metabolism so that it runs more
efficiently and burns more calories - not just while you are
exercising, but while you are just sitting there doing nothing as
well. When you start dieting and exercising to lose fat instead of to
lose weight the results that you get will likely surprise
you.
