Supplement Scams for Weight Loss

Diet pills are a joke. There are no weight loss supplements out there that help you lose weight, burn fat, or tone your body.

Recently, my #1 client hit me with an email asking, "What do you think of a supplement called _____?" (Name removed to protect the useless!)

Now _____ is a popular "fat burner", but let me tell you, I don't think too much of it (or any fat burner product, for that matter).

Almost every fat burner on the market is a glorified caffeine pill. And there really isn't one product on the market with a well-done, scientific study supporting it's use.

As I told my client, "You know the secrets, bro: Hard work, done consistently, and proper nutrition. That's all it takes to get the body you want" (which he has too, going from 210 and 20% body fat to 175 and single-digit body fat, all while reaching his top fitness level ever).

Back to supplements...I'm not convinced that there is one ingredient out there that will have a significant impact on your fat loss. Whether it's caffeine, calcium, pyruvate, chitosan, forskolin, HCA, or even my beloved Green Tea and fish oils, I don't think you'll lose any extra fat if you use these products (although Green Tea, calcium and fish oils can have a significant impact on better health).

So it's time to expose another myth - the myth that a supplement or ingredient can help you burn more calories and fat and help you achieve the body of your dreams. This is just not going to happen.

Buyer beware, I say. Or buyer be prepared, that's even better. Get to know the truth about these products and whether or not they will do what they say, or just burn a hole in your wallet.

And I guarantee that no one is losing body fat because of caffeine pills. No way.

Let me leave you with this. If you want to really boost your metabolism, do it with the following three steps:

1) Eat several small, protein-based, fiber-rich meals per day.

2) Use a Strength Training programs (using free weights or even bodyweight) to get lean and boost your calorie burning for up to 36 hours after your workout.

Whether you are looking for fat loss, muscle building, or bodyweight workouts with no equipment, the strength and interval workouts have been specially prepared for you through years of experience and research. And the workouts are done fast! According to client Treva Lee, "training only 45 minutes 3 times a week, can't be beat...thanks!"

3) Harness the metabolism-boosting properties of interval training, and kick traditional cardio to the curb.

So eat right and exercise with intensity. And save money by NOT buying diet pills.
