If there ever was a magic pill that could make the pounds melt off never to return, you would not be reading this post right now. Everyone would know about it and everyone would probably be lining up to get it. Of course there are literally hundreds of products out there that claim to be that “Magic Pill”.

Most “Fat Burning” weight loss pills are actually dangerous stimulants that artificially raise your metabolism. While this may actually work for some, it will only succeed at making others sick. Lets say there is a pill out there that you can take that will make you lose all the weight you want. So what do you do after the weight is gone and you now need to keep it off? Do you keep taking the pills for the rest of your life? What if you develop a tolerance to the active ingredients (most people do) and they stop working? You will likely gain some if not all of the weight back.

The answer is to STOP looking for the quick and easy solution. Understand that you need to make incremental permanent lifestyle changes that will work over the longterm. Avoid the shortcuts, ditch the Magic Pills, forget the Crash Diets, and realize that you make long term commitments for permanent change.

Don’t give up, lasting results will take time but are well worth the effort.

I just made a big claim I know. The burden of proof is on me to prove that colon-cleansing products don’t work, right? WRONG! Here’s why:

First let me make an addendum to my claim by saying that it’s a fact that there is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever that colon cleansing products actually work. So why don’t I have to prove they are ineffective? Because anyone putting out these useless products has first made the claim that their products are effective. They often make claims that cleansing products will detoxify your system, prevent disease, and most relevant to this website, help you lose weight. Any weight loss encountered as a result from using colon cleanse products are purely coincidental.

So the bottom line is this: Until any of these companies that sell cleanse products provide scientific evidence to prove their ‘snake oil’ actually works, you should assume that they don’t. But hey don’t take my word for it; below is a link to an article by fitness and weight loss expert Tom Venudo that goes into great detail concerning this point of view. Tom really knows his stuff and this article does a great job at explaining exactly how these products do and don’t work. It’s a good read, check it out.

My primary concern is that you don’t get caught up in garbage that won’t help you lose weight and keep it off in a healthy and safe way. Colon cleansing products just don’t work; you are better off taking a different route.
