Unless you were born yesterday or never leave your basement, you have no doubt seen on TV, in print and on the internet ads for fat loss tablets. This is another form of rampant consumerism gone wild, with every Tom, Dick and Harriet getting in on the act promoting their own “brand” (which is usually a re-labeled form of a cheap supplement) as the newest and best, feted by celebrities, the one and only way to lose weight, fat loss tablets out there. Don’t be taken for a fool.
While there are a lot of supplements and weight loss aids out there that, in combination with other actions you may take will reduce your weight and body fat levels, there has yet to be marketed a “magic bullet” pill that will with no adverse effects leave you slimmer, with less body fat, for only the cost of pennies.
Most tablets have their main ingredient a typically overlooked supplement or an non-popular or non-purchased used mineral or vitamin or ancient remedy. The sad truth of the matter is that there’s nothing new going on.
Since the days of the Wild West in the U.S., people have been selling things that are worth nothing as if it does something else. These days the fat loss tablets that are sold are better packaged, spend more on advertising and generally make a larger proportion of the public aware of them, than those that came before.
Essentially, though, these are the same type of scams that people have been falling for for years. Some may work – but none of them are totally able to work alone. Any bottle of tablets you pick up says “when used in conjunction with…” it could be a diet program, an exercise schedule, or… whatever. The point of the matter here is that these tablets alone will never help you achieve what you want without doing something along the physical and diet side also. That is just life.
With the way many people think and how society operates, to say that the weight loss market is large is an extreme understatment – with cut backs in health care, the advancing age of the general public in the country as a whole, the market is due to explode to.
Word to the wise – save your money on fat loss tablets, they don’t work, or at least not by themselves. Purchase a good weight loss program that can guarantee your results. Buy one that gives you a diet plan, food options and exercise tricks, but a comprehensive program that provides you with an overall outlook on how the whole system unfolds and of course, customer support.
