Sorry to Burst The Bubble… Miracle Cures Don’t Exist
By Rich | July 9, 2009
If you were to believe everything that you read in the papers and see on TV I would forgive you for thinking that there are numerous MIRACLE CURES FOR WEIGHT LOSS out there… I’m sorry but there aren’t.
Dieting, wonder pills, exercise gadgets and crazy fitness routines might work for the short term but as soon as you stop, 9 times out of 10 you’ll be piling those pounds back on.
Why?
Well, all these so called ‘magic solutions’ don’t deal with the the root of the problem they just attempt to control the symptoms.
Don’t take the short cuts…
Now imagine for a moment you’re about to start decorating and the walls you’re about to paint or hang wallpaper on are cracked and have some holes in… there may be bits of plaster loose and about to fall off.
You could take the easy option… Just wallop some paint over the cracks not worrying about the reason why the cracks are there in the first place… because after a few short hours everything looks lovely jubbly and you get the finished look you’re after, right?
Wrong!
You’re newly decorated room looks great for the short term but after a few weeks those pesky cracks are starting to show through again… the paint is starting to flake and you’re back to square one or even worse… there are more cracks and holes.
So you repeat the process over and over again never resolving the cause of the problem because you think this is the easiest way… but in fact this is taking you longer to get things right than if you had taken the ‘not-so easy’ but ‘result getting’ route.
What do I mean?
If you had taken the time to resolve the source of the problem and to repair the cracks and holes first… the end result would be more amazing and more solid and the results would last much longer.
So why I have just given you a lesson in DIY?
Because it is exactly the same when we try to lose weight. The majority of people… and I was like it in the past… would much rather take the apparent ‘quick results option’ i.e the fad diets, weight loss pill etc… to see the results they’re after quickly without sorting out why they are gaining weight in the first place.
But as it turns out, it’s not as quick in the long run because the ‘cracks’ start to reappear and we end up back where we started… Try any fad diet for a period of time then STOP and I’ll guarantee you’ll put weight back on.
To lose weight successfully and keep it off involves you resolving the reasons why you gain weight in the first place and then changing those habits.
The ‘Do It Yourself’ way to lose weight may not be the easiest at first but I’m 100% sure that once you invest in the initial changes you need to make you will shed those pounds and keep them off.
What do you think? I would love to hear you’re thoughts so please leave a comment below.
