The Less Than Ethical Tricks Of The Fad Diet Industry


I am sure you already know my views on fad diets, That they don't work at all or if they do have some weight loss effects, as soon as you stop using them you end up gaining more weight than you lost, and over time this loss and regain yo-yo cycle will leave you fatter, unhealthy, and considerably less well off financially, yep they are seldom inexpensive these so called miracle weight loss solutions.

There is only one way to loose weight and get healthy, and that's by following a sensible and maintainable weight loss regimen. If you want some free tips have a look at my fatburningnferno page.

Today I want to share a trick many of the shall we say less honest peddlers of miracle weight loss cures use to get their before and after success testimonials. They need provable and supportable stories of success to sell their product, and to stay within the law they have to be genuine and supported by proof. To achieve this they scour the land for athletes, usually less well known ones, that have been injured and unable to compete or train, and they approach these athletes with their weight loss product, because whilst they have been laid up being unable to train and follow their usual lifestyle they will have put on some weight. So step-one is to sign them up for their trial.

Step-one completed they get some before shots of the athlete looking pudgy and unhealthy, Step-two the subject gets well and returns to their normal training routine (whilst taking the product). Of course they return to their usual healthy slim state as they would have done regardless of the miracle weight loss product they have been taking. Step-three they take an after picture and say quite truthfully that this was achieved whilst taking the product.

Just goes to show you can never believe what you see, even if its true and supported by fact.
