Don’t Waste Money On Fat-Burner Supplements

I think this is my week to let you know “what not to do” when you’re trying to get fit and burn fat….one reason that you get frustrated with your fat loss results is that your expectations are unrealistic. If you expect fat-burner supplements to give you a lean and toned body, you will always be disappointed! Save your money!

At best, fat-burner supplements might give you a short-term boost. At worst, they could kill you (remember the Ephedra horror stories)!

Don’t be a “scale junkie.” What’s a “scale junkie?” My definition of it is a person who is so worried about losing weight that they lose sight of the fact that fat loss and inches loss is much more important. Permanent fat loss takes longer and you have to really work hard and smart to achieve it. Pills, powders and patches won’t get the job done when it comes to permanent fat loss/weight loss.

Credible personal trainers want health, injury prevention and permanent fat loss/weight loss for you. Doctors, health professionals and personal trainers agree that the only safe and surefire way to good health and fitness is through good nutrition and regular exercise. Enough said!

Train hard and smart!

    Thanks for this! I really needed to be reminded. And yes I confess…. I am a scale junkie! I hate it! I put my scale away but find myself taking it out…. I might just have to have my husband hide it from me and only get it out 2 times a month…hehe

    Train hard and smart, huh? Well I sure will try.

    I let my scale rule my day too much!
    Thanks for reaffirming my belief that gimmicks just don’t work. Just hard work and healthy eating.

    Thanks for the comment Isabelle! Once a week weighing is ok just to check to see how your nutrition and workouts are working.

    That’s right Kitty! Gimmicks don’t work long-term! Thanks for the visit!

    Fat burning supplements are probably the “cheaper version” of liposuction. Both are a waste of money. Alot of people think liposuction is a permanent fat loss. Quite the contrarily. It’s just a temporarily cosmetic fix and if one does not change one’s diet, one is likely to gain back all the abdomen fat lost through surgery. Fat goes where it wants to go.
