Using weight loss supplements to reach your weight loss goals by Bill Herren

Using weight loss supplements to reach your weight loss

goals.

Supplement is a word defined by Webster as such: Something

added to complete a thing or to make up for a deficiency.

Even so; some weight loss supplement companies market their

products as magic pills and some consumers think of them as

such.

I believe weight loss supplements can be beneficial if we

learn to look past the hype and use them in addition to

improved eating habits as well as increased physical

activity.

Know what you want out of your weight loss supplement: Are

you looking for decreased appetite, carb blocking ability or

increased metabolism? What is the manufacturer promising?

What are the active ingredients and what studies and dosages

were done on them?

Look for reviews and testimonials: This is something I

almost did not want to mention because reviews and

testimonials can be very conflicting. Reading weight loss

supplement reviews and testimonials is going to require you

to think for yourself and determine if the review or

testimonial makes a valid point or not. I recently read a

review for a weight loss product that said something to this

effect: “I did not like this product; I continued to eat the

way I always do and actually gained weight on this product.”

My interpretation of this is that the person probably did

not carefully monitor what they were eating. They were

gaining weight before “eating what they normally eat” and

were expecting this pill to magically cause them to lose

weight. On the other hand, a weight loss testimonial that

says “I eat anything I want and am still losing weight!” is

equally suspicious to me. Weight loss product testimonials

and reviews can be helpful in your decision if you weed

through the hype and incomplete information. Look for clues

such as: Did this product decrease the customers’ appetite?

Did the customer experience more energy? Was the reviewer

jittery?

Is it too good to be true? We have a tendency to believe

what we want to believe. But when it comes to weight loss

supplements we have to be honest with our self. Are the

claims exaggerated? Is the company telling us we do not need

to change our lifestyle? Does it appear the company wants us

to lead a healthy lifestyle or does the company want to sell

millions of pills? Remember weight loss supplements are

going to help you reach your goals, not carry you to the

completion of your weight loss goals.

Best seller does not always mean the best product. I was a

distributor for a branch of a very reputable supplement

company and attended a convention they sponsored. The

speaker was talking about making claims when trying to sell
