Commercial weight loss program advertisements make it seem as though the most important thing in your life is using "their diet program." The most important thing is YOUR HEALTH! And, your health far outweighs any diet program! In fact, your health depends on a commitment to good nutrition, regular exercise and healthy lifestyle habits.
Advertisements such as "lose 30 pounds in 30 days," sends a message that has a short-term solution to your weight problem. Why? Because weight lost that quickly (without regular exercise) will be mainly lost muscle mass instead of fat mass (this will slow down your metabolism). You also might be very ill after losing that much weight in such a short period of time. Medical and fitness professionals agree that a sound exercise and nutrition program is one in which you average 2 lost pounds per week. And, the pounds you do lose will be mainly fat mass (if you combine sound nutrition with weight training and interval cardio training) which will eventually give you the lean, healthy body you want and need! You will then have a PERMANENT SOLUTION TO YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM!
It's not going to help you much if your body looks good (for a while) but your health and quality of life is a total wreck! Exercise hard and smart. Build a foundation for your body.
There are no quick fixes for building your lean and toned body! Forget the commercials that say "lose 30 pounds in 30 days...." You will put that weight back on (and more) because your body composition (less fat, more lean muscle mass) has not changed!
