THE BEST SUPPLEMENT STRATEGY FOR FAT LOSS IS NO SUPPLEMENTS
In order of importance the principles for successful fat loss plan are:
You have to be in calorie deficit (eat less than you use).
Set your protein intake between 1.8 – 2.4 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.
Focus on high quality, satiety producing foods over processed, convenience driven crap.
Keep your favorite foods in the diet to have flexibility for a rich social life, and to have break from monotonous eating.
Adhere to the above, do them with consistency over a long period of time and practice the patience of a saint.
Most people ignore this list and seek for a magic solution and answer to all their fat loss problems from a certain supplement. And who can blame them, all the supplement companies know this. These companies prey on people’s insecurities, confusion and hopelessness. That’s all they’re marketing is based on.
The supplement industry marketing tactics use fancy wording and false promises disguised as “science talk” to lure you into buying their products. They work hard to convince you that the secret, missing link to all your fat loss problems is a found by chewing an Amazonian tree bark or popping back couple of green coffee beans each morning.
And why do people fall for this? Because most people are attracted to the easiest possible solution. And the supplement companies know this. They often make false promises about amazing results without hard work.
And as the supplement industry is highly unregulated most of them get away with this. Possibly causing more harm in the process. Not only to your wallet but possibly to your health and wellbeing too.
Deep in their mental cavities most people know that supplements are not the answer. But for some reason we keep ignoring the warning bells ringing in our head. Because it gives us hope. Even it is all false.
