So
Christmas, Years Eve and Epiphany
are behind us. And since most people eat a lot and move less than usually
during this period, many are now dispread to lose weight and rather as easily
as it was gained. Businessmen know and that’s why these days’ media are
overloaded of advertisements promoting different slimming products. There are slimming pills, teas, dietary
products and creams/gels - all with the same goal: you will lose your weight
without feeling hunger, without depression of blood sugar unbalance, without
any groove work out or even those which slim you without any more contribution
such as regular eating habits or any workout. Salesmen do what they can to
catch you, to make you believe.
The most
successful trick is the free trial package. It is sent to you just for the
freight price or entirely for free. The package is usually for two weeks. But
the trick is that the producer informs that you will see first results after
one month.
Other trick is to
give your money back in case you don’t lose weight. Sounds safe? May be it
sounds, but this never work; since you never can proof to the producer that you
failed. Since you don’t do any agreement
where you current weight and life style habits are mentioned and agree on some
improvement plan, there are no proofs about your diet to be provided to the
manufacturer. The manufacturer will always get back to you that the diet failed
by your own cause.
What are these
magic slimming products? I have tried many of them and I will now share the
results and experiences of myself and people I was talking to.
Slimming creams
and gels
It can be shower
gel, massage gel or body lotion. It promise you to lose 0,5-3cm off your hips
and belly in one moth when you using it every morning and evening. The lotion
or gel should contain substances heating up and break the fat right under the
skin. Common, do you really believe that such process can break down and burn
the fat? Well if you heat fat on the pan it becomes liquid and then in
temperature 70 degrees Celsius it starts to shrink. But it shrinks due to water
lose since water disappears to the air in steam form. The fat is there. You
need a temperature lot above 300 degrees Celsius to make the fat burn and
disappear. Honestly, who can believe that it could fix fat under the skin? The
slimming lotions usually just repair the skin on hips and belly and make it
smoother and firmer and decrease cellulite. Optically the waist and hips look
slimmer and some mm and/or cellulite can be lost, but we are still in a
cosmetic level, there is now fat burn happening. Although I like these products
because they make the skin on the back, hips and belly really nice and
smooth. I don’t say no to slimming
lotions and gels but I’m aware that they are not really slimming, just make me
better other way.
Pills and teas to
decrease you hunger
This is one of
the most popular groups and I would say the most sold. In fact they can be
successful during the first (let’s say) one month of usage. These products are
usually on the base of natural fibers and pectin these substances increase its
volume in the stomach and it can decrease hunger in some grade, as the person
is feels constantly full. However the feelings of full stomach disappear by the
time because stomach grows after some time to “make it more comfortable”.
But there is another
thing going on, even the stomach is full. It is the feeling of hunger, the
“Pavlov’s reflex”. It is habit to eat and of course it is a habit to eat some
specific portion in some specific time. Many people, even they feel that
stomach is full, push them to eat their regular portions just due to the habit.
That’s very difficult to break. And honestly if you can break it, you don’t
need any pills. Just break it.
Other versions of
supplements decreasing hunger are so called anorectics, which do not full your
stomach but they should stimulate some hormones to break the hunger feeling.
There is for example extract of hoodia, which should eliminate hunger feeling
completely. The most people say that the hunger disappears since the hoodia
make them sick. And honestly, that’s the meaning, that’s the effect. Most of
the slimming supplements decreasing hunger are actually making you sick and
then you can’t eat of course. But not just eat, you’ll probably not make it to
the work, you’ll not be able to smell perfume, cleaning substances or other
people’s food. If you would eat you would probably throw out or get a groove
diarrhea.
Carbo- and fat
blockers
These substances
should block the carbohydrates and fats in the food you eat to be absorbed by
the metabolism. These substances somehow do their job but do not expect too
much and be prepared that you will visit the restroom much more often than
normally and your stomach will collect lot more gases then normally. It might
help to stop gaining weight in short term but it definitely doesn’t contribute
to weight loss.
The strongest of
these products is Alli which is well known for causing so strong diarrhea so
that adult people need to use diapers!
Magic slimming
pills
The biggest lie,
the biggest bluff: These products usually promise you to lose weight without
any diet or work out. Some people using these slimming products believe to them
so strongly that they decrease their calorie intake without thinking and
awareness. Then they believe that magic pills are working. But it’s really not
true. Despite these facts, magic slimming pills are the biggest business with
fake products not yet touched by law.
The weight loss
is the same process as weight gain. More calories more weight, less calories
less weight. Decrease you daily calorie intake by eating less, eating regularly
or/and work out regularly, that’s the only way to succeed with the weight loss.
