Body flex exercise program

The Federal Trade Commission has sued Body Flex for false advertising about their exercise program. Their advertising stated that you could lose at least 14 inches in seven days, guaranteed. However, this is a false claim that they could not back up.

Body Flex claims that the secret to their fat burning, inch losing program, is in their breathing exercises, however, this has been proven false. While it does help, it doesn’t do everything.

Body flex has forgotten the one truth about weight loss. It takes time. Any good, well-respected health physician will tell you that losing that much weight, that fast is extremely unhealthy. It’s dangerous because not only is it a bad shock to your system, it stresses it out so much that other bad side effects could happen. For example, you could start losing sleep due to that stress. And that means your attitude towards life will drastically change. Most of the exercise programs out there focus on fast results, but not many focus on safe results.

It takes a long time to put on an extra twenty, thirty, or more pounds, and it should take about a week to take off each pound. Exercise programs that promise to lose twenty pounds in six weeks, are programs that rely upon grueling workouts and starved diets full of gimmick foods that have few or no calories, but fill you up fast so that you don’t eat too much. What they don’t tell you is that these foods don’t have much nutritive value, so they want to offer you vitamins and supplements to go along with them. If you have to take vitamins, there’s something wrong with your diet.

Another problem is that you have to buy these vitamins, usually after a “free” thirty day trial, and if you don’t continue to take them, your body will start craving foods that have what you want in them- such as hamburgers for the protein in the meats, French fries for the sodium, even things you wouldn’t usually associate with nutritive value. Pizza, for instance, would solve a craving for vitamin C because of the tomato sauce in it, but it wouldn’t be a good thing to eat while you’re dieting, now would it?

Basically, the best thing to do would be to talk to your doctor, and let him or her tell you the best way to take the pounds off that’s the safest for you. Sure, you won’t see the “instant” results that the commercials for these programs offer you, but you can at least rest easy, assured that the program he’ll offer you is safe, secure, and that it really works for you. The doctor knows best, and he’ll give you not only a good exercise program that will get you used to doing exercise again, but he’ll also give you a safe, easy to follow diet plan that won’t starve you for what your body needs.

La Weight Loss

Weight loss is necessary for those people who are suffering from obesity and other related disorders. Many people don’t pay attention to their weight gain in spite of knowing the disorders related to excessive weight. It is only when one of the several disorders like high blood pressure, diabetes or a heart attack strikes that people finally go for a weight loss program. Always remember that prevention is better than cure and hence we should always keep a check on our weight and should lose weight as soon as we cross our fixed limit.

It is very difficult to go about weight loss for a variety of reasons. Following the diet regimes and exercises for weight loss is not much motivating. Weight loss is also tough to do at the first stage. Hence many people give up their weight loss programs and go back to their past lifestyles. However one should be motivated to achieve weight loss to become a healthy and fit human being and hence should start a fitness regime and a diet plan as soon as possible.

A proper combination of diet and exercise will get a quicker weight loss. A combination of both these factors will help you to keep healthy and on the right track of weight loss. It is advisable to visit a specialist who can advice you on following a particular diet regime and also give you a list of exercises to do for optimum weight loss. A different weight loss program is prescribed to each patient depending on the case. You should have realistic goals in mind. You can start with a little exercise and gradually increase your exercise regime for weight loss. Also do not starve yourself for weight loss as it will make matters worse. If you starve yourself you will feel hungrier and then break your fast by eating more and more thereby defeating the very purpose of weight loss. Instead eat small meals everyday at regular intervals to increase your rate of metabolism which increases your rate of weight loss. You must eat more of salads, fruits and raw vegetables for weight loss. These types of foods will make your stomach feel full and also supply your body with the necessary vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. Avoid fatty and oily foods at all costs. Eating fatty and oily foods will just slow the weight loss process. Eating food in smaller quantities at fixed intervals helps a lot in increasing the metabolism of the body.

Many people go for crash diets in order to lose weight. However it is observed that most of the people who follow crash diets don’t get a weight loss but rather a weight gain after the diet. Also many crash diets consist of unhealthy foods.
