Weight Loss Infomercials




Every Saturday morning I wake up to so many weight loss commercials on local channels. They all promise that you will lose weight and inches quickly. Usually the commercial host for the newest weight loss trend is a paid celebrity star encouraging the viewers to purchase the new piece of equipment or diet. Also, there are a lot of other celebrity models in the background that gives the impression that they have achieved their perfect body by using that particular product.  The truth is they were already in good shape in the beginning. Their beach body was achieved through the years. Now I have fell in the trap of buying all kinds of equipment advertised knowing that I would look like the model shown. A few months go buy and that same piece of equipment ends up in the basement collecting dust. The truth and reality is that all diet or weight loss fads are not for everyone. We all are different ages, have different body types, and metabolism. We need something we can stick to through life. It is all about lifestyle changes. What I am saying is do not invest anymore money in weight loss products without asking yourself “Can I really commit to this for the long run or will it be just a waste of money?”
