Easy Ways To Lose Weight Fast: 3 Ways You’re Getting Scammed
My research have shown that majority of us are actively seeking weight loss solutions that promise a lean physique without any effort on our part. Most of us are convinced that we don’t have the time, energy nor motivation to exercise or eat healthily, so we opt for “easy ways to lose weight fast” without reflecting whether they really work or not.
And this strong desire for easy ways to lose weight fast is exactly what the diet and weight loss industries are fully exploiting.
Do these sound familiar:
“Simply peel and stick to burn fat and lose weight!” (ad selling diet patches)
“This will change your body in 3 minutes a day!” (ad selling a “revolutionary” – and extortionate – exercise machine)
“Forget about long, difficult exercises! We have a range of treatments and surgeries to make you lose weight…”
“Take this pill, go to bed… wake up skinny! It’s magic!”
What did you notice about them?
Out of desperation, many people actually buy into these fantasies of a quick, easy, and miraculous physical transformation.
Marketers and salespeople may regard it as just business, but surely you deserve to be told what you’re buying can really do and cannot do.
They say when it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. So before you fall for any of the hype again, remember these 3 things being kept from you by most marketers of quick fix weight loss solutions:
1. “Losing weight” could mean you’re only losing water from your body!
One of the things marketers are hiding from you is that many of these miraculous wonder cures, wraps, potions and magic pills work solely by eliminating fluids from your body.
If that’s not setting off any alarm bells for you, here’s the thing: your body is 75% water! Naturally you can easily lose weight if you dehydrate yourself. The question is: will losing water make you less fat?
This is their idea of an easy way to lose weight fast?
Losing weight by dehydrating yourself is obviously ineffective, and the weight loss effect hardly lasts. Buying these miracle cures is just like patching up a hole on your shirt – it may patch up the hole, but it doesn’t make you look good nor solve the problem.
2. When You Starve Yourself, You Lose Muscle Mass and Keep the fat!
Some weight loss products work by suppressing your appetite. What the salespeople and marketers don’t tell you is that an extremely low calorie diet will actually make you fatter in the end.
When you starve yourself, you may lose weight at the start due to the big calorie deficit, but eventually your body thinks it’s starving to death so it switches to survival mode. When this happens, it burns off your muscles for fuel, conserves energy by decreasing your metabolism and – horror of horrors – keeps your body fat.
Is that what you really want?
3. The effects of many quick fix solutions are only for the short-term.
Another problem with all these quick fix solutions is that you have to keep spending money on these products. After all, that’s what they’re designed to do: give you fast, easy solutions to symptoms but never the actual problem so that vendors get repeat customers.
Considering this reason alone, you may want to ask yourself if it’s really worth it.
Conclusion
A more worthy goal to aim for (instead of weight loss) is fat loss. Measure your body fat percentage and aim to decrease it using healthy methods that will give you lasting benefits.
An truly effective fat loss program includes the right combination of personalized nutrition, exercise and mental training.
The results using these proven and tested methods may come slower, but the fat loss will be steady and permanent.
It’s time to wake up and admit that if we can indeed buy our way into having the best bodies we can possibly have without putting in any effort, then how come more and more people are suffering with excess weight?
Recommendation
Still the best way to see what fat loss program really works is to learn from those who have already walked the path, and see how the same methods they’ve used can benefit your own body.
The most comprehensive fat loss program I’ve found is Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle program.
Burn the Fat showed me something i never thought possible: for me to change permanently and find the way to go after the goals I really aspire to achieve; to work out religiously, but to genuinely enjoy it; To have a strict diet, but to realize that the endless benefits I reap (self-confidence, satisfying sex life, higher energy and productivity, etc) far outweigh the price I have to pay to have my most amazing body.
