There are many weight loss myths, and weight loss supplements and products are fueling these myths. It would be really easy for the general public to dismiss every hokey supplement, if it weren’t for incredibly clever advertising.
So it seems that as a very qualified health and fitness professional, I should (at the very least) give my readers the honest truth about what these products will really do for you (or against you). Then at least the decision you make about product “x” is an informed decision.
Remember, you only have one body, so treat it right.
One of the biggest things to remember when looking in to purchasing these kind of products, is whether or not they have gone through a series of tests to qualify as real "food" (sounds dumb, but its true). Whenever it looks or sounds too good to be true, yup, it is.
Your internet connection can be your best ally. Use Google (below) to research some of the ingredients in these powders and bars, some are even toxic. Just be smart with your body. It's your only one.
