Weight Loss ON YOUR OWN New Years Agenda? PLAN The Top WEIGHT REDUCTION Scams Of 2006! PART 2
If there's a very important factor we can agree upon it's that "eating right and exercising" may be the true path to long term results. We realize this yet so many people who've met repeated failure after failure even with "eating right and exercising" as they "perceive" to learn it have slowly lost the belief that positive change is even possible.

What goes on next is they become prime targets for the quick fix, pill in a bottle magic weight reduction solution. Compound that with a society that's geared toward "easy" everything and you also have droves of people buying into weight loss in a bottle.

So here it is: Part 2 of the most notable Weight Loss Scams of 2006.

2. The Ephedra Free "Natural" FAT BURNING AGENTS Or Anything In Pill Form That Claims To be always a Solution In And Of Itself.

In the event that you look real closely at that device too many people sit before every day and pay attention to the commercials you'll see an increasing level of ads for fat burning agents around this season. Fat burners will be the supplement companies flagship, mega profit generators come New Years.

First, supplement simply means "extra" and if a concern for the right nutrition, moderate aerobic fitness exercise and a problem for muscle are not met in a synergistic fashion then you can certainly forget about longterm results just by going for a pill.

Since the main or active ingredient in many fat burners (ephedrine) was pulled (not banned) from the market, supplement sellers had to come up with its "natural" replacement; synephrine which is "natural" and originates from bitter orange or citrus aurantium exactly like ephedrine came from ephedra or the herb ma huang. Synephrine is situated in many OTC nasal sprays however, natural doesn't always mean safe. Nicotine is "naturally" found in tobacco and is one of the most addictive drugs (poison actually) on earth. Need I say more on tobacco's long term "natural" effects on the body? Granted this isn't the very best comparison but just take a glance at the warning labels on the OTC nasal sprays which contain synephrine and see for yourself. Too bad they don't really put these on the Ephedrine free fat burner labels.

The mechanism where many fat burning agents work is through diuretic water loss that is misleading and appetite suppression forcing some individuals to cut way back on calories neglecting necessary metabolic demand and tricking your body into thinking its starving. Yes, you may lose weight initially and many times these products don't find repeat customers due to long term results but due to a "natural" addiction created by something that alters endocrine function and is pretty close to legal speed.

Frequently you see the words "research has proven" on products like these. Do you wish to know who they did the original research on with synephrine when it comes to fat loss? It had been Blaberus Discoidalis. So what on earth is that? COCKROACHES! They did the study on cockroaches, not humans! Needless to say this isn't the only real ingredient found in fat burners and many supplement companies put together their very own "proprietary blend" of ingredients aimed at fat loss. Now they will have fat burners geared specifically towards women that will "remove" surplus fat in a particular area. It's False!

What's also a LIE is when these products say things like "burn up to 800% more fat." If Life Coach Marketing Plan was true and the American Medical Association recommends a weight loss goal of 1-2 pounds weekly and you will lose 8 times that then you can lose 8-16 pounds weekly. Awesome! Let's take the middle road here and say 12 pounds of weight reduction per week. Well that would equate to 624 pounds per year! Awesome! Is this realistic? Of Course not but this is exactly what marketers of these products do.

Do read more burning agents actually get rid of fat? Nope. Fat loss is a 2 step process where fatty acids must be released from the adipose cell and shuttled via the bloodstream to the muscles where they might be burned. BUT...can fat burners slightly increase metabolic rate and put the body in a state to where it might release and burn a bit more fat? Yes, pending you're eating in a manner that supports metabolism and ongoing fat release and within that lies an issue for many. If not, prepare to be frustrated. The fallacy lies in believing that a pill that the magazine ads or the supplement store employee tries to sell you will melt the pounds right off of you and get you in to the body you've always wanted.

What causes visitors to buy the "other" pills with the pharmaceutical sounding name advertised on T.V. that say "lose weight without exercise and diet?" Desperation; its what causes individuals who have repeatedly failed to achieve an exercise and weight reduction to break out their charge card and recite some numbers. While hope is still high that something exists that will ease their pain, their belief in making a confident change is pretty much lost so that they resort to the magic pill that society has conditioned us to believe in.

Bottom line: if you're convinced by the marketing and testimonials of these products (just have a look at Anna Nicole Smith) go on and try them if you like but exercise caution. In the event that you first don't have an effective nutrition and workout program supportive of weight loss in your arsenal then you can forget about long term results and you can probably be prepared to create an addiction to these pills merely to get you during the day. You could also alter endocrine function and possibly experience some negative side affects occasionally. Definitely read the fine print with both eyes please and do not let the marketers words of "lose weight fast" blind your rational good sense.
