Weight loss supplements are what they are. They’re ways for you to try to accentuate your weight loss which is a very nice way of saying they are ways to try to cheat. I say try because they don’t work without massively unpleasant side effects. We’re not meant to shed weight like water and when we try to our bodies don’t react particularly well. Remember that evolutionarily speaking we’re not so different from our cave man ancestors, we’ve not evolved along with our life styles. Maybe one day our bodies will be able to keep up with our expectations but that day isn’t today. You need to slow down and accept your limitations. Weight loss is more than possible but it’s not going to just happen over the course of moments, you’re going to have to work at it. At the end of the day, the only things in life which are worth having are the things you’ve had to work for.
The reason I tell you to steer clear of weight loss supplements isn’t because I want your life to be harder. It’s because some are genuinely dangerous. Recent studies in the United Arab Emirates have shown that around ten of the most common supplements for weight loss have dangerous and potentially life threatening consequences when taken often. Is losing weight worth losing your life? No. Of course it isn’t.
The most effective way to lose weight is to balance diet and exercise in a way you enjoy. If you start doing something which you hate then you’re never going to keep doing it for long enough for it to have any real effect on you. If you enjoy something then you’re much more likely to stick with it and as such you’re much more likely to lose the weight you want to lose.
