+ PERMANENT FAT LOSS REQUIRES EFFORT

Let's face it, there really is no good way to lose fat without any effort! Successful and permanent weight (fat) loss takes some time, it takes some effort, and it visibly requires some exercise! Consider what Dr. Gabe Mirkin had to say on the subject recently: "There are many products on the market today that promise to help you lose weight. None will help you unless they get you to exercise more and eat fewer calories." (Source: The Sportsmedicine Institute, Inc.)

+ DON'T BE TEMPTED BY SHORTCUTS

So is it possible to lose weight quickly? Sure, but weight loss realized quickly and/or by 'cheating' will never be permanent and is usually not healthy.

Remember the phen-fen pills that were popular just a few years ago? While they for sure helped you lose weight, they were withdrawn from the market in September of 1997 tail instant linked to the occurrence of serious anal valvular disease, and primary pulmonary hypertension.

Ephedra, different thing weight loss pill, was pulled from shelves on April 12, 2004. posterior a attentive review of the handy evidence with the risks and benefits of ephedra in supplements, the FDA found that these supplements present an unreasonable risk of illness or injury to consumers. The data showed little evidence of ephedra's effectiveness, except for short-term weight loss, while confirming that the substance raises flesh and blood pressure and stresses the heart (Source: www.nccam.nih.gov).

Please note that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that ephedra was effective for ONLY short-term weight loss. Does that sound like a permanent solution?

There are lots of other 'shortcuts' out there, from laxatives to harsh stimulants. There are also some honestly good products that can help us lose fat IF they are used in conjunction with regular exercise and healthy nutrition. Green tea is a good example. surgical studies conducted by Dr. Abdul Dulloo, of the University of Geneva in Switzerland brought the conclusion that green tea weight raises metabolic rates and speeds up fat oxidation.

+ THE TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

So what's the take-home message? The keel line is that there is no 'get slim quick' miracle out there. The only way to gain permanent fat loss by following the same recommendation we've been hearing for years: exercise regularly and watch what we eat!

Let's watch out for products that use we can succeed the body we've internationally wanted without diet or exercise. We know that's not true, so let's not be tempted by the empty promise.
