There is No Magic Pill

So, I've been having a lot of conversations with people lately and this pesky term keeps popping up out of their mouth and is ripping my heart to pieces: "I am taking _____"

Guys, please stop TAKING stuff to lose weight.  "Taking" products (shakes, pills, teas, etc) does nothing because it does not fix YOU.  If you are unhealthy, then you are the way you are because of bad habits  (unless you have some underlying health condition).  YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.  That's right, I know you probably don't like to hear that but you can't get rid of the problem if you are not working on getting rid of your bad habits.  Do not waste your money or effort on something that is a temporary cover-up of the problem.  The weight is going to come right back on, doing you more harm than good.  

If you need to improve your health or lose weight than you have to learn proper nutrition, you need to get regular exercise 5-6 days a week, and you likely need to be working on your mindset because a lot of time these bad behaviors and habits of ours are pretty gnarly things that go a lot deeper and need to be sorted out properly.  You could find more success treating your condition by going to see a counselor than drinking some silly tea!  

It's time to get real with yourself and face the facts.  You got yourself to this place, you need to get yourself out by unlearning the bad habits and creating new ones that will help you get to your goals and feel good again.  I'm not saying this to insult you, I have those bad habits too and spent over a decade trying various fad diets and fat burners, without addressing my bad behaviors with food consumption (sugar addiction, bing eating and emotional eating).  I am still not out of the woods yet but now that I am openly honest with myself and others, it's a lot easier to work through these habits - especially with the wonderful support of my Fit For Life challengers!  

True results that LAST come from hard work and dedication.  Stop looking for that magic pill because it does not exist!
