The Ten Biggest Fat Loss Lies

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store and asked for information about supplements…
If you have ever read any one of the many popular bodybuilding or fitness magazines…
If you’ve ever read the latest best-selling diet book…
If you have ever watched late night TV and listened to a diet or fitness guru preach about an amazing new diet, exercise machine or supplement…
If you have ever surfed the web for information about diet, nutrition or training…
If you have ever done ANY of these things, then chances are…
YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO, MY FRIEND!
Are you shocked? Surprised? Outraged? If so, then join the club – you’re not alone. Honest information about nutrition and fat loss is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly everyone has been mislead at one time or another.
To successfully navigate through this bog of misinformation, you’re going to have to become a very shrewd and discriminating consumer. The purpose of this article is to help you do just that.
There are three reasons why it’s so hard to find truthful information these days:
1) Money (Greed). Weight loss is a 30 billion-dollar a year industry. With this kind of money at stake, unscrupulous marketers will tell you just about anything – even outright lies – to get you to buy their products and to further their financial interests.
2) Information overload. Now that we’re in the information age, lack of information is not a problem anymore. The problem these days is too much information. Fitness and diet “guru’s” preach about their “latest breakthroughs” on TV infomercials 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hundreds, even thousands of diet and exercise books fill bookstore shelves. Dozens of magazines clutter the newsstands every month. And to top it all off, The explosion of the Internet is adding to this “info-quagmire” at an exponential rate.
3) Conflicting advice. Even industry professionals such as registered dieticians, research scientists, MD’s, Phd’s, and certified trainers, give a tremendous amount of contradictory advice. There are a lot of opinions out there and everyone seems to tell us something different.
This disturbing state of affairs has left a lot of people frustrated, disillusioned, and thoroughly confused. It’s hard to know whom or what to believe anymore.
I want to do something about that. I want to do something that almost no one else has the guts to do: That is, to tell the truth.
So, without further ado, here they are; the top 10 biggest fat loss lies – exposed!
