Weight Loss Hype and Lies: What Really Works and What Doesn't

The weight loss industry brings in billions of dollars a year. For most people, it is difficult to lose weight and keep it off, and with current beauty standards, more than 95% of men and women feel that they would look better if they were thinner. As a result, there is never a shortage of people desperate enough to try just about any product if it promises to help them lose a few pounds.

The problem is that it is becoming harder and harder for the average person to understand how to lose weight. Some weight-loss books swear by "superfoods," antioxidants, cleanses, or certain chemical compounds that will "rev up the metabolism" and "melt fat away." The diet industry tries to convince people everywhere that it is possible for every woman to weigh less than 110lbs and for every man to weigh between 150lbs and 175lbs.

This hype sometimes results in the opposite effect that those who create the hype intend. Deep down, most people understand that they will never weigh that little or look like whichever celebrity is hawking the latest product. Therefore, they give up. They think it isn’t worth trying at all and plunge back into a lifestyle of fast food and late night potato chips in front of the television, and first world nations get more and more obese.

It's important to cut through the hype and free yourself from impossible ideals if you want to be healthy. Every person needs to realize that only a small portion of the population can be a size two without being sickly and malnourished. Once you let go of unrealistic goals, it is possible to assess yourself honestly and figure out what your healthy weight is. The best way to do this is get to know yourself--at what weight do you have lots of energy, fall asleep easily and night and wake up without fatigue? Consult a physician to see if your idea of a healthy weight for you is realistic. Once you have this figured out, then it is time to go about your weight loss.

It's true that certain foods seem to help you lose weight faster than others. Some do this by heating up the body, and some just cause dehydration by encouraging excessive urination or defecation. Before you run out to purchase the latest fad food, however, it is important to know that everyone is different. The foods that help you feel full and satisfied (and therefore lose weight without feeling hungry all the time) may be completely different from what works for someone else. Like many other things in life, weight loss takes a little experimentation and trial and error.

One of the most serious weight –loss mistakes is trying to do too much, too fast. Weight loss plans that promise a loss of more than one to two pounds a week are likely to make you feel too deprived to stick to them, or will rob you of nutrients you need to feel healthy and energetic. Unfortunately, most people are impatient, and marketers of weight loss gimmicks know this. That’s why you see promotions like "the 48 hour diet" that claims to help you drop ten pounds. Short of a severe episode of dehydration, that kind of weight loss is physically impossible, but many people fall for the hype anyway.

So, what kind of weight loss hype is believable? It’s key to look for programs that advertise "keeping the weight off." Most rapid weight loss plans involve water loss only, which comes back as soon as the dieter drinks a good amount of water or eats a healthy meal. A weight loss product or program that promotes long term lifestyle changes, or advertises that it helps you lose weight more quickly when following a healthy eating and exercise plan, is usually a reliable program or product.

Weight loss surgeries have a high level of effectiveness when it comes to long term weight loss, but these surgeries are considered a last resort for when a patient has tried other, less invasive methods of losing weight. Weight loss surgeries are not "miracle cures" (because there are no "miracle cures") and they require commitment from the patient, but they are a reliable method of losing weight.

Another reliable method of losing weight, which has been approved by the FDA, is prescription HGH injections. HGH, or human growth hormone, is produced naturally by the human body. Levels of HGH are at their highest in the teen years, and taper off as we get older. HGH is responsible for a large number of "youthful" effects in the human body. High levels of HGH make it easier to maintain lean muscle, lose weight, maintain flexibility and strength, sleep well and night and be full of energy during the day. People who receive HGH injections report feeling decades younger, without the aches and pains that usually accompany aging. They also report clearer, more resilient and elastic skin, faster healing time from injuries and illnesses, and a greater quality of life. Many people have successfully lost extra weight after taking HGH.

The reason HGH is not more widely prescribed is because many people who are not seriously overweight seek these treatments as anti-aging or beauty treatments. Because the FDA has not approved HGH for these uses, (HGH is only approved for weight loss) many physicians are reluctant to prescribe HGH, even where it is needed for weight loss. Many doctors are afraid to be accused of prescribing HGH unnecessarily, and therefore shy away from it even when it would greatly benefit a patient. As a result, there are many HGH supplements available that either contain HGH or contain compounds that stimulate the body to produce its own HGH. For example, supplements like HGH Advanced, Genf20Plus, and GHR1000 are easily available on the internet, and many people benefit from these supplements.

It can be difficult to cut through all of the weight loss hype out there. The truth is that there are very few things that have been shown to provide healthy, stable weight loss that can be maintained in the long term. It is up to each individual to examine any and all claims of a product or program to evaluate whether or not it will work for him.
