The Best Way To Lose Weight

To be honest, it depends on what your definition of “work” is. As most of us know, the ONLY way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit. We have to use more calories than we consume.

That leaves us with two options: Diet and weight loss products that “work” by assisting us in creating a calorie deficit- and those that will never work because they don’t do anything. Let’s get started with diet pills, then move on to popular diet plans. So, do diet pills help with weight loss? Again, it depends. Some are powerful stimulants that will artificially stimulate your metabolism and reduce your appetite. Others are nothing more than a mix of fiber or useless herbs, these are the ones that don’t do anything- except lighten you wallet. However,  an appetite suppressant wil help you create a calorie deficit, if it’s strong enough.

So then, are diet drugs the best way to lose weight? Only if you like the idea of being constantly filled with powerful stimulants for weeks or months. I would encourage you to research some of the side effects of strong stimulants. Then you have to ask yourself this question: If I couldn’t keep the weight off before I went on that diet pill, why would I be able to keep weight off after I stopped using it? Something to really consider.

Next up, is ANY popular diet or weight loss plan the best way to lose weight?

For example, does Jenny Craig offer real help with weight loss? If it creates a calorie deficit for you, yes it could work. You will drop weight.

However…

Extensive research from UCLA has shown that people on popular did lose weight, but within two years 83% had gained back more weight than lost. Their research determined people who did not go on a diet, were better off from a health standpoint than those who did.

If you need more proof, just look at the facts:  Nearly two out of three Americans are overweight or obese while spending forty billion dollars annually on fat loss products. Think about that, if any advertised weight loss plan really was the best way to lose weight- would so many people still be overweight?

So rather than ask yourself: Does Jenny Craig really help with weight loss? Does the Hollywood Cookie Diet work? Does any fad diet really work? Or do crash diets work? Ask yourself: what really helps with weight loss?

If you answered “I need to create a small daily calorie deficit,” you’ve taken the first step towards becoming a weight loss success story. Using more calories than consumed can only happen one way: You have to change your past weight gain habits over to better weight loss habits.

If you can do that on your own, that’s awesome. Also, there are many free weight loss articles available that can help. I failed at losing weight for thirty years. Over those thirty years, I lost and gained back over 300 pounds. I tried a fews diet shortcuts. And yes, I wondered; do weight loss pills work? I was a little temped to see if there was an easy way to lose weight.

In the end, the best weight loss “system” that worked for me was the one I put together myself with the help of an e-manual called New Body New Life. It taught me how to recognize my weight gain habits, and most importantly, it taught me how to change them to new weight loss habits.

As I said, if you can recognize and change your habits on your own, that’s all you need to do for safe and natural permanent weight loss. The amount of money and time you’ll save by avoiding fad diets will be tremendous.

On a really interesting side note, when you change those habits, it will give you the self discipline to do whatever else you put your mind to. So even if some diet shortcut like Alli really did help with weight loss- it can’t give you what changing your habits does:

A whole new level of discipline, confidence, and self respect. And most important the knowledge of the best way to lose weight for you.
