Over the years, as I've battled with my own weight issues (typical middle age battle of the bulge stuff really, nothing extraordinary). I've been researching tirelessly on various kinds of diet and weight loss programs. I've spoken personally with people that have tried a variety of weight loss pills and supplements or tested them myself. I've never found a product that has satisfied me long-term, or anyone else that I've talked with, long-term. Due to this I'm asking myself about the efficiency of these diet plans and pills or whether the problem is beyond the reach the reach of the diet pill. Does the diet industry want us to fail or is it our fault? I've been researching a bit if diet pills are just a big scam or if it is indeed a viable option to lose weight. There are few people who have not seen 'Judy's (or Jennifer's or whomever's) Weight Loss Blog' with their insanely unbelievable before and after photos? They seem just a gimmick to make me buy the products they're pushing and not real people. One study I came across in my research mentioned that 83% of dieters regain more weight than they had previously lost after only 2 years. Depressing, no doubt! These so called "miracle" diets are only be a temporary fix in the big scheme of things according to this fact. Are these diet companies, who appear as if they're trying to help us reach our goals, merely preying upon our ignorance, hopes and insecurities? In fact, maybe they never wanted us to succeed in the first place. So that we'll pay more and more money to get temporary results that never stick is why they want us to fail even more. Our wallet is the only thing that sheds pounds while we line the pockets of these diet companies. Everyone, including myself, wishes to have a movie star's body. The truth is that you've wished for it too. To be frank, we're never going to look like Demi Moore unless we pay to visit her plastic surgeon though diet pill companies make it seem otherwise. Teams of personal trainers, chefs and ample time to workout and burn away the fat are also there to help out movie stars. Now, if the diet industry could squeeze all that into a pill, maybe they'd have something, but in today's world, there's no such thing as a magic pill. I've also got some shares in a Nigerian gold mine to sell you if there are such pills. The fact is, we have to make major lifestyle changes to meet our weight loss goals. Tough love, I know, but I have to say it. We need to know the concepts of dieting, controlling our wish to eat, know why and in the end, and make attempt to reach our goals. It won't always be easy, but it is very possible and will take time and discipline. I've been making the effort and have seen the results myself, so why shouldn't you? Jenny's or Judy's weight losses have been faster than mine, but remember, slow and steady wins the race. So take some time everyday to formulate your plan and then act on it. Make the effort not just to lose weight, but to enjoy a healthier longer life. You know how especially important this is if you have kids, like I do. I plan on being around for a long time and actively enjoying my grandchildren (even if it's a long, long way off).
