Why am I sitting
down in the middle of the morning to write this blog post, when I really have
better things to do?
Well, I am one of
those persons that our sages call “truth zealots” – people who have trouble
seeing lies and shutting up about it. That’s one factor.
The second factor
is that due to religious restrictions (lasting about a month) on listening to
instrumental music, I have been listening to a (religious) radio station while
working, rather than my MP3 music collection. And, invariably I am subjected to
their ads. And the problem is that whenever the ads play, my blood boils, until
finally I gave up and say now to write my reaction….
So what has me up
at arms? There are SO many things wrong in the world, but the blatant lies of a
weight-loss pill company has me boiling.
“Lose weight! Eat
all you want! Abandon your unnecessary diets! Lose up to 8 kilos a month! Join
the thousands who have lost (with our product)”
Is there anyone who
believes this %^>*$##*$$& rubbish
???
The only way to
lose weight in a healthy way, long term, is through SENSIBLE diet and exercise.
And 8 kilos a month is not plausible. True, you can easily lose 2 kilos the
first week of a diet, but it won’t continue that way.
Losing weight
sensibly means figuring out what is triggering your overeating, and finding
other (non-food) means to achieve those things.
And if anyone out
there is hoping that maybe, just maybe, this %^>*$##*$$& works, the proof that it doesn’t is in
their own advertising.
If YOU had lost
weight successfully with a miracle product, wouldn’t you tell your overweight
friends? Of course you would. So IF they had “thousands” of successful weight-loss
clients, believe me, they WOULDN’T have to pay for prime-time advertizing…….
Sorry. There are no
shortcuts. But believe me, this “long and winding road” to true weight loss is
doable, enjoyable, and FUN!
