3 reasons you must say no to weight loss products
The world is now obsessed with weight loss. Everyone wants to lose weight and most people are ready to jeopardize good health for a lean frame. Let's face it, we are living in a society where fat people are still considered to be unfit, when, in fact, some of them are healthier than their skinny friends. But who cares about that. It all just boils down to how quickly we can lose weight.
If you find yourself in the category of people who are desperately looking for shortcuts to lose weight and trying out pills or products with no luck, here is a lowdown.
Almost every day, we see many so-called miracle weight loss products being advertised almost everywhere - from social media to television - claiming how they have actually transformed millions. If you trust such claims, this list will surprise you:
Marketing gimmicks
Most weight loss products that we see, from slimming belts to miracle powders, are an eyewash and don't do anything to our body. Do you actually believe you can lose 40 pounds, without exercising, by wearing a belt worth Rs 999?
Fake models
All the models such weight loss companies use are paid for the purpose and have possibly not even heard of the product they are endorsing. Their chiseled frames are only endorsing such products for money. Remember those funny ab machine commercials where we see a guy with six-pack abs claiming he got them by working on the machine he is endorsing? Now you know!
Fake testimonials
People testimonials too can be bought for cheap. Weight loss companies have been effectively using this strategy to drive their product sales. Most of the witnesses you see are actually fake.
Fitness first
The only way to lose weight is by working hard and following a disciplined fitness lifestyle. You may have heard this a million times, but it will still be true. Few of the weight loss products work only if you follow a rigorous exercise regime to compliment them with. However, they can only aid weight loss, and not replace exercise.
