Spotting health scams

Do fat burners work?

Spotting fat burner, diet, diet pill, and weight loss scams is very quite easy. Permanent weight loss only works one way: You have to use up more calories than you eat. This is the ONLY possible thing that works. This makes spotting diet related heath scams very. If the diet pill or weight loss web site you’re reading fails to mention that FACT, your weight loss scam detector should go on full alert.

So do diet pills or fat burners really work? Instead of looking at the advertisers claims, let’s look at the facts: Many diet pills are nothing more than fiber or common herbs. These are diet product, weight loss, or fat burner scams that do nothing.

How do some diet pills "work"? By pumping the body with powerful stimulants. Stimulants will speed up your metabolism- the rate at which the body burns fuel to create energy- and suppress the appetite. That’s why you rarely see very many overweight cocaine addicts. Please note: I'm not comparing people that take diet pills to drug addicts, nor am I saying that diet pills are going to lead to drug abuse. What I am saying is the principal is the same. If you take a drug to stimulate your metabolism, that’s just what’s going to happen. That’s why they’re called stimulants.

The plan is for that stimulant pill to speed up your natural metabolism and create a larger calorie deficit. Fat is your body’s reserve tank of fuel. You can speed up that metabolism all day long, and unless more calories are burned off than consumed, those fat reserves will never be tapped into. Also, all you’re doing is trying to get a drug to do what you were designed to do: Speed up your metabolisms by being active. Pills are just shortcuts. You need to learn how to lose weight on your own. A stimulant pill will prevent you from learning how.

Do you really think it’s best to be filled with artificial stimulants for weeks or months? Do you really think a chemical shortcut is better and healthier than creating a natural calorie deficit through your own efforts? And consider this: If you couldn’t keep the weight off before you started taking a pill, why would you be able to keep it off after you stop taking it?

Be very honest with yourself here.

The only safe, natural, and permanent way to lose weight is to slowly take it off by creating a small daily calorie deficit. I know just what you're thinking: “But their ad said it was safe and all natural. They promised me there were no side effects. They had dozens of testimonials from satisfied customers.” Of course that’s what they are going to say. They’re trying to sell you something. I’m quite sure they said something similar about Fen Phen before it was pulled off the market for causing heart valve problems.

Once again, look at the FACTS: Nearly 2 of 3 Americans are overweight or obese while spending 40 billion dollars annually on weight loss products. Think about that, if any main stream diet shortcut worked permanently- would so many people still be overweight?

So what does that fact tell you? It tells you how to easy it is to spot a weight loss or diet scam, because rapid weight loss failures are everywhere.

And why is advertising filled with fat loss and diet pill scams? Just follow the money. It’s easier to tell people they can burn fat or lose weight with drugs than it is to tell them the truth. Here's the truth: You don’t need any diet products to lose weight. Weight loss short cuts are either a total scam, or they only make it harder for you to  learn how to permanently keep excess weight off.
