Weight-Loss Wonders: Forever?
August 16th, 2008 -- Posted in weigth loss | No Comments »Came across Dr. Zelasko’s article the other day about weight loss. And here is what he has to say:
“Many people wonder how long they’ll need to take a weight-loss supplement. As a result, they’re afraid to start because they don’t want to have to take it forever.
Relax. Weight-loss supplements don’t need to be used forever–they don’t lose the weight for you. You do that by eating less and moving more. Supplements are simply a way to give your body an edge while you change your lifestyle from what it is to what you want it to be. Once you’ve accomplished your goal, whether weight loss or some other health measure, you don’t need to take them any more.
How you do that is really up to you. It makes sense to wean yourself off a little at a time. Think about coffee or any caffeinated product; if you stop cold turkey, you get a headache that can last for a few days. But if you start by reducing the dose by a third for a week and then another third the next week, in three weeks you’re off the supplements with little or no challenges.
Weight-loss supplements are not miracles in a bottle. They just help you get the miracle that is you moving in the right direction.”
