Big Fat Lies pt 3

Another installment of the mini-seris Big Fat Lies...

...Big fat lie no. 3 - "You need fat burners and supliments to lose weight"

Most people have tried it, I have tried a "fat burner" before a holiday, did it work???... HELL NO!
Did it work for you???

1993 saw the rise of people looking for a quick fix and people started looking for fat burners, this coinsided with the release of ephedra and ephedrine products which have been the best selling fat burning products

Ephedrine was extremely popular because there was some scientific evidence to support it had actual fat burning effects, people said they felt it and got an energy buzz

the drug is a thermogenic (metabolism- stimulating) agent that helps with the release of stored body fat

So why did it get banned in 2004 if it worked?

To this day, the decision to remove ephedrine from the market is still controversial(due to politics and money) because the research was mixed on whether the risks were severe enough to warrant the ban

it was safe when directed but..

Although the FDA had 80 ephedrine related deaths and 1400 adverse effect complaints on file, including strokes, coronaries and seizures, the fact is, when compared to deaths caused by prescription drugs and other over the counter drugs like aspirin, ephedra actually appeared fairly safe when used as directed by healthy individuals and not abused

ephredrine based products are highly addictve but when you see results you get adicted and that will then lead to inproper use/abuse

At the height of the craze, 12 to 17 million people were using ephedra and no doubt, many of them were hooked on what was essentially a mild form of legal speed

These products were being abused en masse as “pick me ups.” Students were popping these pills to stay awake and study all night. Partiers were doing the same. So were truck drivers.

Like any addictive habit, it's difficult to stop. When you first go cold turkey, you crash emotionally and physically and your workouts suffer as your crutch has been taken away. I suppose it's a lot like trying to kick the booze or cigarette habit. You go through withdrawal

Your body is too smart for short term quick fixes to ever work because your body will always fight back to maintain a natural balance or “homeostasis.”

For every artificial peak or high you create, there will be an equal or greater valley or low point.

If you over-stimulate, your body can respond by slowing down your natural metabolic rate to compensate. As a result, when you stop using the stimulant, your metabolism is slower than ever and you gain back any weight you lost and more.

This often prompts you to go back on the stimulants and the vicious cycle of stimulant addiction continues. Some experts say that long term use can even lead to adrenal burnout.

So even if there aren’t any serious coronary or health risks from proper use, there is the risk of irresponsible use and the risk of addiction and dependency on "fake energy." just remember, what goes up, must come down. If you borrow energy you will eventually have to pay it back

EPHEDRA FREE FAT BURNERS

When the FDA finally pulled the plug on ephedra, supplement companies scrambled like crazed maniacs to come out with "ephedra-free" formulas for their "fat burners" as they anticipated the imminent doom of their multi-million dollar cash cows.

The ads proclaimed,

"More powerful than ephedrine-based fat burners!"

"The next generation of thermogenic technology!"

The great irony is that most of the fat burners currently on the Market today are completely worthless

At best they provide a watered down, unproven substitute for ephedrine and a slight buzz (most are loaded with caffeine)

Or, they may provide some mild appetite suppression. But NONE of these so called “next generation fat burners" are the “miracles” that the advertisements say they are

THE TRUTH: A LEAN BODY DOES NOT COME IN A PILL

It's a common misconception that you can't reach your fat loss goals unless you take some kind of "fat burner" supplement.

It's also a common misconception that you can pop a pill and get dramatic results like you see on TV and in the magazine ads

Most of the before and after photos are fake and the companies are being sued massively

Diet pills and fat burners are nothing but quick fixes. Every one of them

Even if they help in the short term, they don’t help in the long term because you are only treating symptoms. Body fat is a symptom of a complex problem with multiple causes including unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, lack of activity and even mental factors like subconscious self-sabotage

The true solution to any problem, including body fat, is to find the causes and treat them

I recommend you take a pass on "fat burner" pills and supplements and learn how to burn fat the way mother nature intended – through proper nutrition, by building more muscle, and by increasing your activity level to burn more calories.

If you're not satisfied with your results, trust me, it's NOT because you have a "diet pill deficiency."

so there you have it stay away from fat burners save your money and look out for the next part of Big Fat Lies
