Weight Loss Products Often Times Aren't - written by Johanna Myers

Weight Loss Products present us with an appealing and very convenient option that has become an integral part of the American culture: The Quick Fix! Because of our need to pump out more energy than we have - and more time needed to meet the increasing daily demands of "making it" in today's world - we're hooked on "The Quick Fix". You don't really think the manufacturers of weight loss products, or the fast food giants, for that matter, have our best interest at heart do you? The marketing strategy is that they tell us that their products are efficient, effective, and will make our lives easier. We, in most cases, we want to believe it and usually do. The truth is almost always the opposite. That's why both are multi-billion dollar industries in this country alone

If you're one of the millions in this country who are into weight loss products such as diet pills, appetite suppressants, body fat burners, metabolism boosters, fat binders, diuretics, diet drinks, energy drinks, etc... and are routinely feasting on fast foods, you may want to reconsider this lifestyle approach. Looking at what's happening in the body relevant to weight control, health and well being we'll start at the point of origin of the natural energy production at the cell level.

Food that is consumed is broken down into its nutrient base and those nutrients are utilized by the cells in producing energy for the body to run on. The challenge we face today is that there are high toxicity levels in most all the weight loss products and fast foods on the market. The damaging energy frequencies, preservatives,and chemicals create these toxins. These toxins create a toxic "bio-film" buildup on every cell wall. This plaque-like substance causes an inefficient nutrient absorption process that often results in the body activating the hunger mechanism causing you to consume even more food to get the necessary nutrients for cellular metabolism. Do you now understand why people are gaining weight like never before and can't ever seem to get rid of it? The hunger mechanism can't shut off.

Evidence has shown that this continued hunger response often causes people to resort to junk food. When we eat junk food the toxins continue to build up around the cells walls and may lead to a lymphatic water build up around the cells. As we continue to crave more food we are in a never ending cycle that the weight loss product and junk food industries bank on. In fact, to speed up that cycle, there are addictive components in many of those products. The prominence of chemicals, additives, and preservatives in weight loss products catalyzes the ongoing eating cycle. This industry marketing campaign is surprisingly effective, wouldn't you say?

Let's not overlook another weight loss methodology-diet pills. I have never seen this approach work. In years past many new moms would seek the advice of her physician on how to lose the fat from pregancy and were given presription diet pills. These pills were mainly speed and elevated the metabolism via the adrenal glands. Not only are these pills dangerous, they are toxic. So you see that there are some viable solutions in the weight loss products industry but rarely ever when resorting to drugs or processed and chemicalized packaged foods.

So - what's the answer? The true weight loss products are natural foods and organic foods. There are no gimmicks here. It is simply the basic nutritional biochemical balancing of all systems in the body with a highly varied natural foods diet that supplies the necessary nutrients on a consistent basis that turns on the fat burning process. A readily available and convenient solution can be found in a quality all natural botanical based supplement that delivers the proper energy producing compounds that cleanses the cell walls and provides the key components of metabolic functioning.

Look to the Chinese as an example of a healthy culture built consuming natural plant based compounds that avoids toxicity challenges and delivers vital nutrients. Their day-to-day diets include such things as garlic, ginger and organic green tea (known to clean cell walls). If you consider the fact that the Chinese are known to be a natural foods culture you will realize that the Chinese herbs are considered an important component of their diet. The information is easily available to you on the internet. When it comes to your health and well being, there is no such thing as: The Quick Fix!
