ZAR -Scary Scary Stuff!

I was watching 'A Current Affair' (a daily news and consumer show) the other evening and saw a report on a product called Green Coffee 800. There were several individuals raving about this product and the fact that they had lost alot of weight without exercising or adopting a sensible eating plan.

This product is basically a cup of coffee drunk in the morning. It speeds up the metabolism, which burns fat BUT what rang the alarm bells for me was the fact that it's an appetite suppressant. There is not doubt that a product like this will help you shift weight. The devotees were telling of amazing numbers - one lady lost 10 kg's in 18 days.

The major problem with using something like this, as the nutritionist who was commenting on Green Tea 800 said, is that in the long term, once the user goes back to normal life, they will pile back on more weight than they lost.

This is the problem with "diets". People say, "I've tried all the diets under the sun and while I lose a little weight initially, I put it all back on again plus extra". This is why it's commonly known that the only way to successfully lose and maintain weight loss it to adopt a sensible eating and exercise plan and make it a part of your life forever.

There are no quick fixes. It is a matter of willpower (yikes), sweat, hardwork and dedication. It's facing the fact that to be a healthy person at a healthy weight you have to live a healthy life. Eating real food and moving your body.

Shake it people!!
