Lose weight, burn fat and build muscle!

Those are the kinds of claims that attract people...see you're reading this aren't you?


This article is actually about Diet Pills. I'll give you the secret to losing weight, burning fat and building muscle at the end of the article.

First of all, for anyone that has ever taken a diet pill or even thought about taking a diet pill, let me tell you this: you are smarter than that. If no one ever instilled in you that you are an intelligent and wonderful human being, let me be the one to do it. You are beautiful (or handsome for the fellas), just the way you are, and you are smarter than that.

Second of all, despite what you might think, doughnuts or whatever you choose to eat too much of, do not go directly to your thighs. Seriously, they just don’t. It takes many doughnuts, and many reactions inside the body, to put cellulite on your legs, or excess weight on your body. It takes time for that to happen. So you are severely insulting your own intelligence, and mine, when you go to buy a pill (or ask me to prescribe you one), that will “melt away the fat” overnight. Let me just show you some of the awesome claims of real diet pills: Please note the sarcasm…

“It works like magic, but until recently it was not available to the public…Lose 10 pounds in 10 days, Guaranteed!”

Seriously? Like we’ve been hiding the secret formula and just now released it?

And really, the only way you’d lose 10 pounds in 10 days is if you catch a bad case of

food poisoning.

“Weight loss breakthrough! Fast. Effective. Safe.”

According to whom? And if that was true, why do we still have an obesity problem?

“Worlds strongest fat-burner!”

Wow, the worlds strongest? I can’t believe there is a pill that just burns fat…

“The only FDA approved OTC pill! NO SIDE EFFECTS!”

Yeah, I went there. And no, I don’t approve…even if the FDA does.

“The hottest extreme biochemical fat-burning agent is finally here. Now is the time for you to get absolutely ripped beyond belief with this scientifically advanced formula.”

HAHAHAHA! I can’t even think right now I’m laughing so hard…

“From frumpy to FANTASTIC! _______ isn’t a piece of clothing or a fashion accessory, in fact it will make you look better!”

Being seen with this bottle of crap will in fact make you look stupid.


Ok, ok, all joking aside, diet pills are not only idiotic, but they are very dangerous. As many of you probably heard, Hydroxycut was recalled by the FDA recently following the DEATH of a 19 year old male, and 23 other reports of liver damage, seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.

And I’m sure you all remember Ephedra, an ingredient in many diet pills in the past, was also banned by the FDA following serious health issues and death. An Orioles pitcher, Steve Bechler, died from complications related to ephedra.

Taking diet pills is like taking crack, and even Whitney knows that crack is whack. Diet pills are filled with stimulants, “natural” weird forms of ingredients all put together to act like stimulants, and tons of caffeine. THEY ARE BAD FOR YOU AND DO NOT WORK.

Losing excess weight or toning areas of your body that you aren’t happy with is going to take hard work and patience. The weight didn’t come on overnight, so it won’t come off overnight either. Sorry, I know “Hard work and slow, steady progress for effective weight loss” isn’t as sexy or exciting as some of those claims up there, but it’s true. So instead of wasting $90 bucks on something that might kill you, why don’t you use that money to invest in yourself by seeing a dietitian, or buying yourself that “expensive” produce you always claim you cant afford…

You are an intelligent and wonderful human being, and I care about you. Yes, you.

Blessings,

Ashley
