Using supplements for weight loss won't workWe are inundated with print and TV ads for dietary supplements to boost our metabolism or to suppress appetite. From exotic herbs to hoodia and gender-specific weight loss pills, Americans are dropping loads of coin on supplements. And, getting nothing in return but more weight on the scale and empty pocket books.
WHY DON'T THEY WORK?Most people suffering from depression due to poor body image, increasing amounts of body fat, and dissatisfaction with body composition need to learn to stoke metabolism. Remember that you are not a victim of your metabolism, you are the CREATOR of it! Avoiding food is not the answer! Whether it’s the result of will power or the outcome of the use of some pill you will ultimately lose muscle, alter thyroid activity, and reset your metabolism (slowing it down!) Suppressing appetite and losing water are the short term strategies for dropping pounds, but the long term ramifications make those short term reliances on the scale detrimental both metabolically and emotionally. You CANNOT attain healthful fat loss by taking a pill. Think about it, if their were a magic bottle, we wouldn't have an obsesity issue today.
