The Ultimate Weight Loss Product Guide
Are you one of the many who may be tempted by advertisements
for diet pills and other weight loss products promising easy,
quick ways to lose weight? Were you aware that a simple 30
minute infomercial can cost anywhere from $80,000 to 120,000
dollars to make. Pretty crazy don't you think? Yet time and time
again you see countless weight loss infomercials selling product
after product.
Fad Diets and many diet pills are pitched by persistent
advertising and many people, possibly even you will join the
parade of followers. Yet 95% of the time, these weight loss
products will prove to fail you once again -- leaving you with
nothing but charges to your credit card and set-up to regain all
those pounds. So why are people constantly and willingly paying
their hard earned money for these weight loss products?
"Stop Throwing Your Hopes Into Every Weight Loss Product That
Comes By"
We want you to stop being their guinea pigs and understand and
realize just how many of these diet pills and other weight loss
companies are cashing in at your expense. To help you avoid
getting "trapped or suckered" into believing or choosing a
weight loss product or service that does nothing but contribute
and add to the problems.
Stop Getting Taken! The following factors are exactly what many
weight loss products and services use and exploit in order to
get you to buy into their utterly false claims...
Factor 1 -- HOPE Hope is a good thing, you need hope. But the
problem is that many times you have such high hopes that you put
those hopes into anything, regardless if its legit or not. By
putting your hopes of weight loss into products and services
that are not providing the necessary means you need, your
ultimately setting yourself up for failure and your hopes will
get crushed. Have hope, just make sure you put your hope into
the right service and don't let your strong sense of hope blind
you into not seeing the red-flags and other lies.
Bottom Line -- Don't let your strong sense of hope make you
believe things that are not true!
Factor 2 -- Emotion Lets face it, your weight and appearance
can be a touchy, emotional subject. And it should be, its your
life! But how many times have you seen a weight loss infomercial
where someone breaks down into tears while talking about how
miserable they were when overweight and how deeply happy and
relieved they are now ... and how they owe it all to that
particular weight loss product or "revolutionary system." The
product is doing this intentionally!
Weight loss products know you're emotional about how you look
... they also know that when your emotional, it causes you to
act on impulse. They have a better chance to "hook- you" when
you're emotional and "touched." Products try to stir up your
emotion in an effort to get you to act impulsively and buy into
their claims. You should be emotional about your health and the
way you look, but don't let them use your emotion against you.
Don't let your emotion blind you into not seeing the red-flags
and real reason that they're really there -- to get the "2 easy
payments of $39.99" out of you!
Factor 3 -- Marketing Savvy & Media Just because you're
constantly seeing weight loss ads and commercials for diet pills
and the new "xxx diet" does not mean it works and is credible.
Just because you see a celebrity hosting the weight loss
infomercial or program (who has been generously paid off ... do
you really think a movie star is going to do an infomercial for
free?) does not mean it's effective. What it does mean is that
they have thousands, if not millions of dollars to pay for
advertising and marketing so they can get their product in front
of you, be it radio, television, internet etc. so they can
constantly "pitch you."
How affective is marketing? Recently, a diet pill company was
making the bogus claim "take our weight loss pill and you can
eat what you want and burn fat as you sleep" and made $152
million in profit over 3 short years by doing radio commercials
at over 600 stations across the country! That is until the
Government stepped in and cracked down! And all the restaurants
that are adding the "new xxx diet approved" menus, all they're
doing is trying to make money too! Restaurants know that people
are willingly paying, so why wouldn't they add low carb diet
dishes (even though the number of calories in these dishes are
alarmingly high and will cause you to pack on pounds!)
Realize, that just because you see a weight loss product time
and time again on the television or radio does not mean it will
be effective in losing permanent weight. All these weight loss
companies are trying to do is get their product in front of you
over and over so it will be there when you're ready to buy. Many
people make the mistake of assuming a product is credible simply
because it's constantly on television.
Factor 4 - Repetition Diet pills and other weight loss products
figure they more they can get in front of you, the more likely
you're going to buy it when that time comes. Lets face it, if
you were interested in building a deck, when that time comes
don't you think your going to choose the "smith deck company"
that you saw time and time again on TV. Most people will simply
use the one that's most convenient and right there. Many times
people just pick the first product or service that comes to
their head and have high hopes that everything will just work
out. Unfortunately, many times it's no different with weight
loss products.
This is exactly why you see the same infomercial every day,
every hour of the day for like 1 month straight ... and then all
of a sudden it's gone. They get in, make their money on
desperate people looking to lose weight, and then they get out!
And if you see it again in like 3-4 months down the road, this
means they made a lot of money on it previously and are back to
make more. They wouldn't be there if they weren't making money -
period!
The product is trying to pound it into you head and keep coming
at you because they know, the more you see it, the more likely
you will be to buy it. Don't get suckered! Just because they are
always there, does not mean it will help you.
Factor 5 - Pressure This is a big one. The bottom line -- when
people are pressured they act impulsively. Often times you put
way to much pressure on yourself. In today's society so much
emphasis is placed on health and appearance. People feel
pressured to look a certain way and this is certainly the case
with being overweight as people will do anything to lose weight.
Weight loss products go out of their way to put additional
pressure on you, knowing that it will cause you to act and buy.
Many of the weight loss infomercials are very good at the art of
getting you to believe that ... "finally this is it, the only
product that's going to change your life!" The truth is that all
they're doing is adding additional pressure.
Bottom Line -- Don't let the pressure you feel to lose weight
allow you to buy into and believe false claims. A sense of
urgency to lose weight is good, but don't feel so pressured that
it causes you to act impulsively and spend your hard - earned
money on the first thing you come across that sounds good. When
you feel pressured, it will allow you to start believing and
putting your hopes into things that are not true because you
feel like "I need to do something about my weight and I need to
do it now!" Weight loss products know this and that is what they
are wanting you to do. Don't allow it and don't allow yourself
to be one of their guinea pigs! It will just cost you in the end!
General Rules To Keep In Mind When Dealing With Weight Loss
Products
Be Realistic -- If there was a way to "lose 30 pounds in 30 days
and keep it off" or "eat what you want and still lose weight"
don't you think that we would all look like supermodels?
Use Common Sense -- If there were magic diet pills or easy way
to lose weight and keep it off, don't you think the top movie
stars and celebrities who make millions and millions of dollars
would have it.
Allow Yourself To Believe Both Sides -- If you're going to make
the mistake of believing the lies and fabrications many weight
loss products are telling you, at least allow yourself to
believe that they may indeed be "lying and deceiving you" as
well. It's only fair that you allow yourself to look at both
sides as this will help you to form a better judgment.
"If It Was That Easy..." Lets face it, if it was as easy as all
these health and weight loss infomercials and ab contraptions
make it, the statistic of 95% failing would not exist! There
would be no problems. Don't believe their lies and fabrications
