It is my humble advice not to spend any more money on diet books
or the latest weight loss fad. Instead, short of surgery or prescription
medication, that the most effective ways to lose weight are....
A) Consume fewer calories
B) Burn up more calories than you take in...Or
C) BOTH.
There is a standard of consuming 1500 - 1800 calories on a daily basis in most popular diet books available on the market today. Some books will explain it differently, but all come to the same conclusion. If you follow the advice, then your daily consumption of calories will be less. The reality of it all is that you can lose weight with any book that gives you this advice. What you have to be honest with yourself and ask is...."Can I eat like this every day for the rest of my life"? Sobering isn't it. If you've been on the diet "yo-yo", then you know how easy it is to gain the weight back. You also have to make sure that the advice you are getting lets your body get the nutrients they need. Without a variety in foods (including a lot of fruits and vegetables) your can create deficiencies. You can eliminate these for short periods of time, but it will catch up with you. Unfortunately, a poor diet with pills and supplements is still a poor diet.
Remember the term "if it sounds too good to be true, then it is"? Pills or spa treatments that tell you that all you have to do are use their product to lose weight falls into that old axiom.
If you are looking at purchasing a product that claims it boosts your metabolism, it most likely contains one type of stimulate or more. Do a little research and find natural foods that can stimulate your system. Don't depend on consuming large amounts of coffee or tea for this. As many things, your system will react to the stimulation of these products in the short term, but then you condition yourself to these and then require more and more. The side effects could be unpleasant and even dangerous.
Here are some other interesting facts......

- Don't fall for any "infomercial" that claims their cream will dissolve fat. No such product!!!!
- Magnets that are placed over an acupuncture point will not result in weight loss.
- Consuming collagen before you go to sleep at night will not result in your body burning fat.
- Chitin products, commonly referred to as "fat absorbers" will bind to small amounts of fat but to be effective the cost would be exorbitant (in today's economy...about $40 to block the fat for a fast food hamburger). Taken in larger doses....LOOK OUT! They can cause dreadful gas and diarrhea.
- Unfortunately, cellulite is just everyday fat and pills or other gimmicks that promise to get rid of your cellulite are useless.
- This one hit me between the eyes since I have used this for some time. A body wrap only makes you sweat and only lose water....not burn fat (it does make you look better when you first start your fitness regime). An easy rule of thumb is...."WATER LOSS IS NOT FAT LOSS".
