Weight Loss - The Truth About Fat Loss Supplements

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.
