Lose weight nowWherever you look you get swamped with Weight Loss Before And After, be it on TV, magazines, the Internet and every other way the media can get to us
. Whichever website you go to on the Internet has at least one ad with promises to make you lose lots of weight in no time, either through diet pills, exercise, surgery, fiber pills, shakes and the works or by only eating a few calories a day and who knows what else.

Who wants to hear more vain bla bla?
. When you look behind the façade, who do you think the authors and inventors of all these get-slim-instantly-without-any-effort methods really care about? Well of course their own, and that of their wallets to be precise. So what if you get sick in the process of using their latest fad in weight loss? As long as you lost some weight quickly and visibly to get your own before and after weight loss photos, though it may not last til next Sunday.

Do you know the kind of stuff you’re putting into your body to lose weight
? I know of some herbal weight loss teas (sounds all natural and healthy right and is all natural too) that have the potential to give you heart problems (and I know people that had to be hospitalized for consuming such things). Some people even have gone as far as to actually having acquired a tape worm or it’s larvae to keep slim, and yes that’ll get you skinny, and very malnourished, not to mention: ewhh! Many diet products use chemicals and artificial ingredients to replace the real (and potentially fattening) things in our food. Have you taken a moment to have a closer look and the ingredient list of some of these so-called foods? You’ll need a dictionary to figure out what you’d be eating. Are you sure that such ingredients, keeping the low-cal factor in mind, are really better for you than reduced amounts of true nutrients?

Rest assured that in none of these programs or products you’ll find a word that will explain that sudden weight loss of several pounds in a couple of days is due to loss of water
. You also won’t hear that the miraculously reduced waistline in a day or so will be product of a good and healthy bowel movement.. Facts don’t change just because someone is telling you weight loss stories before after.

One pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories
. In order to lose some pounds you have two choices: or you eat fewer calories than your body uses on a daily basis (500 less a day to rid yourself of a pound a week to be exact) or you burn it off exercising. One hour on the elliptical machine evaporates around 600 calories; an hour of swimming will do pretty much the same. So when you do the math it becomes quite clear that you don’t just burn off 10,000 calories in a couple of days.

Truth is, when the product or method tells you you’re going to lose three pounds in the first two days, they are telling you a bed-time story (sounds as good as one too)
. Your scale might actually cooperate with them and also tell you, you lost weight, at least for the first week or so, but really what kinds of pounds were those you lost? I can assure you it wasn’t body fat. Fast loss of weight in very few days usually means you lost water and bowel contents.

Ok, all this talk about what doesn’t work. Well, what does
? If you were looking for an easy no-effort way to get it done, I will disappoint you. True and lasting weight loss, that you will be able to maintain for the rest of your life, will have to come with a change in lifestyle. Of course, using a good, healthy method to combine the right kinds of (real) foods to give you a good shove in the right direction is a good idea. But in the end you will have to decide once and for all what and how much food is going to do you good. Don’t forget that your goal of getting your own weight loss before after story is reachable, making the right decisions for your life and taking action.
