Healthy Weight Loss Advice: 10 Things The Weight Loss Companies Don’t Want You To Know Part 6

Misleading Facts #’s 9 & 10

Here are the final items the weight loss companies don’t want your to know…

‘Don’t count on the ‘money-back guarantee.’
According to the FTC, you have as much chance of getting back your money as you do having the product do what it claims.

“While money-back guarantees — if honored — may benefit consumers, there is no reason for consumers to have any more confidence in them than in a claim that the product will actually work,” says Cleland. The FTC has frequently sued companies that “guaranteed” to give consumers their money back but didn’t, he says.

There is no magic bullet
Some dieters place their hopes on pills and capsules that promise to “burn,” “block” or “flush” fat from the body. But science has yet to come up with a low-risk magic bullet for weight loss. Some pills may control appetite but can have serious side effects. Amphetamines, for instance, are highly addictive and can have an adverse impact on the heart and central nervous system. Other pills are utterly worthless.

“There is no quick fix,” stresses Dr. Blackburn.
“Let’s be realistic. You can’t solve years of overeating overnight. You have to cut your calories and you have to keep at it. How do you get to play the piano? You practice! It’s the same for permanent weight loss. You practice and practice healthy eating until you get it right.”

Until next time, I wish you peace and prosperity
