MAGIC DIET PILL?

As consumers, we eat too much fat, too many carbs, and too many processed foods that slow our metabolism. We lead fast-paced, stressful lives that make our systems unbalanced and turn our bodies into fat storing blobs of low energy. Most of us have little time to exercise off our high calorie intakes and end the day in front of a tv, just to start off the same the next day. We redundantly complain about our love handles, giggly underarms, and ever growing gluteus maximus. So is a magic diet pill going to undo these effects and turn mush into a six pack?

NO! The highly advertised diet pills will not melt away fat, boost lean muscle, increase energy levels or help you lose weight. The only thing they will do is give you a false sense of hope and waste your time and money. The reality is losing weight won’t happen overnight. One needs a carefully planned weight loss program, new eating habits, and exercise to make permanent changes.

Making changes starts with a healthy diet. This means eating lots of fruits and veggies plus moderate amounts of good fats, healthy carbs, and lean proteins. And to think you wanted to replace all of this with a tasteless pill. You don’t have to give up eating to get a great figure- it’s just about what you eat and when that makes the difference between overweight and ideal weight.

Diet pills also don't cause your body to burn a considerable amount of calories and most importantly they don't build fat burning muscle. They may elevate your heart rate but this doesn't cause your body to burn the number of calories necessary to lose weight. Real exercise is needed to burn calories and keep the weight off. There is no trick way around it! Unlike diet pills, exercise also helps you deal with stressors that cause you to overeat carbs and sugars- this is the only long term solution to achieving and maintaining your ideal weight.

If you want to be in control of your weight, you have to take the reigns and make changes to your diet and exercise routine. For many, finding the right diet track for them is a challenge and that’s where diet programs come into help. Check out our array of weight loss programs at
