How To Lose Weight Fast
Author: Abigail Franks
What's with all the weight loss programs, foods, diets, plans, programs and pills and the majority of Americans are either overweight or obese? Do these products work or not and what the heck is going on here anyway?
The answer is based on expectations. We want FAST weight loss with minimum of fuss and problems. We don't want to make changes in our lifestyles but want that magic pill that makes us slim quickly. Deep down inside we know this isn't reality but still can't seem to face the fact that we eat to much in relation to the amount of activity and exercising we do.
The problem with the whole weight loss industry however is that the marketing plays on our desire to quickly lose weight without effort. Just look at all those ads and the one thing in common, no matter if it's a weight loss supplement, exercise machine, or food program is that they all hold out the promise that losing weight is easy and quick! And we so want to believe that there's this magic secret to weight loss that we buy into their story.
How sad! The fact is that we didn't gain all the weight in a few days or months and we're unlikely to lose it that fast either. Fast weight loss is the absolute worst type of diet with the vast majority doomed to failure and to gain all that fast weight loss right back. To make matters even more difficult, fast weight loss sets a body up in starvation mode so when eating resumes, your body will not only put on all that weight but also a few extra pounds to protect itself during the next famine.
So as the cycle of dieting and weight loss continues one time after another, it becomes increasingly more difficult to lose the weight and keep it off.
The question comes down to, why don't any of these programs actually work? The answer, unfortunately, is that almost all products work just does not live up to the marketing and our expectations. A diet supplement that helps curb your appetite and helps you to lose a pound or two each week is considered a failure because we want fast weight loss and the hype promised it would be easy. Losing weight isn't easy and never has been.
Notice that all weight loss products do one of two things. They help us to either eat less or exercise more. That's it. That's the secret to weight loss. Eating fewer calories than we use up on a day to day basis is the key to any successful weight loss program It's not fast but it IS effective.
