Misleading ads for weight loss products

Misleading ads for weight loss products target consumers desperate for results. 

To make it easier to spot false weight loss representations the Federal Trade Commission has compiled a list of seven statements in ads that are likely to be a tip-off to deception.

Think twice before purchasing a product that promises the following:

1. causes weight loss of two pounds or more a week for a month or more without dieting or exercise;

2. causes substantial weight loss no matter what or how much the consumer eats;

3. causes permanent weight loss even after the consumer stops using product;

4. blocks the absorption of fat or calories to enable consumers to lose substantial weight;

5. safely enables consumers to lose more than three pounds per week for more than four weeks;

6. causes substantial weight loss for all users; or

7. causes substantial weight loss by wearing a product on the body or rubbing it into the skin.

How does eating real food lead to weight loss?

Consuming real food leads to weight loss as a result of nutrients that are added to the diet, and the ingredients that are removed.

Nutrients that are added are namely fiber and omega-3 fats. Ingredients that are removed are added sugar, refined crabs and other additives and preservatives that both contribute to weight gain and stand in the way of weight loss.

I do not cook and I want to assure you that switching to a real-food food diet can be done and it is not difficult from the planning point of view.The way to achieve permanent weight control and a long healthy life is to base your diet on vegetables, fruits, and grains. Plus some protein. These are the most powerful foods for controlling weight, and most people can eat all they want of them and stay slim and healthy.

So, where do you begin? Your success starts with your next meal.

Change in thinking

You can change you diet around, and in doing so you can lose weight and change your life.

Change can be hard. But change is also part of life. No matter how bad your diet is, you can start fresh now.

You can embark on a new way of living today. Changes that you can start making right this minute will not only lead to weight loss but can do incredible things for your health.

The act of succeeding on daily basis will make you feel wonderful about yourself. And just knowing that you are making changes that will lead to weight loss and better health can be incredible empowering.

Losing weight can be done without feeling hungry

Losing weight can be done without feeling hungry. Eating large amount of the right food is the key to success.

A diet which requires someone to be hungry all the time over the course of a life time is not going to work. 

It is hard to force yourself to eat less. But it's possible to choose what you eat.

The secret for reaching and staying at your proper weight is to eat whenever your feel hungry, but to eat only the foods that will not make you fat.

We are stronger than we think we are

Millions of us face overwhelming challenges with food and weight that feel impossible to overcome. But we’re stronger than we think we are. We can lose weight and keep it for good. While weight loss can be challenging, it is achievable and many people are successful.

High nutrient eating

Knowledge is the power. There is a lot of distorted understand and misinformation about what constitutes excelled nutrition. Learning how the foods you eat affect your weight gives you the power to rapidly create weight loss. Once you understand the fundamentals and see amazing rewards of healthy eating, you will feel comfortable eating fewer calories.

High nutrient eating is the most successful route to weight reduction and better health. The secret is to eat high-nutrient, low-calorie foods that will provide you with the most needed nutrients without feeling hungry. I did it and I know that it is possible. Wrong food choices brought you to where you are now. Changing what you eat may feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning and takes some effort, but in my opinion it is the best way to lose way without feeling hungry.

Taking a positive approach

Sometimes even the good things in live, like holidays, can throw our healthy habits into a tailspin. I think it happens to many of us at some point. I need to get back to what worked for me best when I started losing weight and use the same way of thinking that had made me start eating healthy then.

I will try to use this as opportunity to further evaluate my situation, determine why I moved away from strict compliance with healthy eating and plan what I will do to prevent it from happening in the future.
