Resolve Not To Get Scammed

I know I'm almost 2 weeks late with a resolution post but it's still relevant.

It’s January so the airwaves are being flooded (more than usual) with "solutions" to excess pounds, many of which are outright scams. Before you pick up the phone with credit card in hand or fall for another fad diet, know this:

* Ladies, regardless of what some people say, certain types of exercise will NOT lengthen your muscles. It is physiologically impossible.

* No gadget will give you 6-pack abs.

* It’s not the Taco Bell food that helped that woman lose weight. The first thing she says in the commercial is that she reduced her calorie intake. The onscreen print says she only ate 1250 calories; I sure hope she lost weight.

* Acai berry is not a magic weight loss potion. Contrary to the scads of internet ads, Oprah and Dr. Oz have not endorsed it as a weight loss aid but it is a great antioxidant.

The sooner you accept the fact that any decent nutrition or exercise program will involve some effort, the sooner you’ll see results.

The Real Power of Acai Berry

In my "What I Know For Sure" post below, I wrote about how diet scams will always be with us because people want to believe there's any easy way. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but although fat loss is simple, it's not easy.

The real power of Acai Berry is emptying wallets.

Right now the internet is full of ads for this latest magic diet pill. Before that, it was Hoodia. Remember Hoodia? Hmmm, wasn't that the answer to losing weight? What was before that? Ephedra, Chitosan, Calorad; the list goes on and on. That should be a clue that these products are scams; the only thing you'll lose because of them is your money.

So the lying, unethical marketers rake in a fortune while people get fatter. As I said in my last post, if most people spent as much time and money on nutritious food and good exercise instruction as they do on quick fixes, they be slimmer, healthier, happier and more confident.

My beef is not with Acai Berry, it's with the snake oil salesman promoting it as something it's not. Acai Berry was featured on Oprah but not as a weight loss miracle; Dr. Oz correctly promoted it as a powerful anti-oxidant.

The guys http://getprograde.com have a new product called Longevity that includes Acai Berry as one of its main ingredients. The big difference is that they only promote their product for what it is; a very powerful antioxidant that can help your body fight the aging process and help boost your immune system.

They could make lots of money touting Acai Berry as some magic pill that's will flush the excess pounds off your belly, butt and thighs but they don't because it won't.

ProGrade.com was started by 2 fitness pros who were disgusted by the unscrupulous supplement companies and their poor quality products and marketing hype.

They are a certified GMP "A" rated facility, which is not an easy task.

I recently bought some Cravers (ProGrade's nutrition bars) and my members are raving about how good they are. I had stopped selling bars a few years ago because they either tasted like cardboard or were glorified candy bars. Cravers are different; they're nutritious, they're organic and they taste great.
