Weight Loss and the diets that fool us.
For many people, rapid diets are the only kind worth trying. It's common to hear someone say they want to lose "a quick five pounds" before a wedding, or "drop ten pounds" in preparation for a beach vacation. No one wants to be told that healthy weight loss takes time and effort—so the companies marketing diet plans and supplements focus instead on get-skinny-quick gimmicks. Although these plans can sometimes lead to weight loss in the short term, they are very difficult to sustain.
Truth: Consume a balance of organic whole fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds combined with, regular cardio and muscle conditioning. Change your environment, because environment is a major factor of weight gain and other health detriments. Look for your local famers in your area, or shop organic whenever possible. Pay attention to what you eat and find those food triggers that are causing you to feel poorly and unbalanced and gradually remove them.
