Well, it depends on what your definition of “work” is. As most of us know, the ONLY way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit. We have to use more calories than we consume.
That leaves us with two choices: Diet and weight loss products that “work” by helping with creating a calorie deficit- and those that will never work because they don’t do anything. Let’s begin with diet pills, then move on to popular diet plans. So, do diet pills help with weight loss? Again, it all depends. Some are powerful stimulants that will artificially boost your metabolism and suppress your appetite. Others are nothing more than a mix of fiber or useless herbs, these are the ones that don’t do anything- except lighten you wallet. However, an appetite suppressant wil help you create a calorie deficit, if it’s powerful enough.
So then, are fat burners the best way to lose weight? Only if you like the idea of being constantly filled with powerful stimulants for weeks or months. I would encourage you to research some of the side effects of strong stimulants. Then you have to ask yourself this question: If I couldn’t keep the weight off before I went on that stimulant pill, why would I be able to keep weight off after I stopped using it? Something to consider.
Next up, is ANY popular diet or weight loss plan the best way to lose weight?
For example, does LA Weight Loss offer real help with weight loss? If it creates a calorie deficit for you, yes it could possibly work. You will drop weight.
However…
Extensive research from UCLA has shown that people on popular did lose weight, but within two years 83% had gained back more weight than lost. Their research determined people who did not go on a diet, were better off from a health standpoint than those who did.
If you need more proof, just look at the facts: Nearly 2 of 3 Americans are overweight or obese while spending forty billion dollars annually on weight loss products. Think about that, if any main stream diet plan really was the best way to lose weight- would so many people still be overweight?
So rather than ask yourself: Does LA Weight Loss really help with weight loss? Does the Hollywood Cookie Diet work? Does any fad diet really work? Or do crash diets really work? Ask yourself: What’s REALLY the best way to lose weight?
If you answered “I need to create a small daily calorie deficit,” you’ve taken the first step towards becoming a weight loss success story. Burning off more calories than consumed can only happen one way: You have to change your old weight gain habits over to better weight loss habits.
If you can do that totally on your own, that’s awesome. Also, there are many free weight loss articles available that can help. I failed at losing weight for 30 years. Over those 30 years, I lost and gained back over 300 pounds. I tried a fews diet shortcuts. And yes, I wondered; do diet pills really work? I was temped to see if there was a shortcut to lose weight.
In the end, the best weight loss “system” that worked for me was the one I put together myself with the help of an e-manual called New Body New Life. It taught me how to recognize my weight gain habits, and most importantly, it taught me how to change them over to weight loss habits.
As I said, if you can recognize and change your habits on your own, that’s all you need to do for permanent weight loss. The amount of money you’ll save by avoiding diet shortcuts will be huge.
On a very interesting side note, when you change those habits, it will give you the self discipline to do whatever else you put your mind to. So even if some diet shortcut like Hydroxycut really did help with weight loss- it can’t give you what changing your habits does:
A whole new level of self respect, confidence, and discipline. And most important the knowledge of the best way to lose weight for you.
