Now that we've stuffed ourselves full of Turkey, pumpkin pie or other desserts, we will probably gain a few pounds. Having gained a few pounds, we will probably want to lose a few pounds. Many of us in wanting to lose weight, will be looking for that miracle pill to help us lose that weight.
Now for the bad news, there is no miracle pill. I'm not saying there isn't pills out there that can help us lose weight, what I'm saying is; in order to lose weight and keep it off, you must change your lifestyle, only then will you be able to keep that weight off otherwise, you will have the yoyo effect where you lose weight and then gain it back. Just taking a pill to lose weight isn't going to cut it, you actually have to change your lifestyle, which means changing what you eat on a regular basis and increasing your exercise, mostly cardiovascular. Exercise and taking pills to lose weight will not be enough because, if you are taking a thermogenic pill, the longer you stay on it the less it will work. It will start wearing away your adrenal glands and eventually decrease your energy levels and raise your blood pressure. Not changing what you eat, you will eventually gain back the weight.
I'm not saying thermogenic's don't work at losing weight, what I'm saying is; if you don't change the way you eat, the thermogenic can only do so much. Doing that same thermogenic with a life change by adding exercise and eating better food such as organic foods low in carbohydrates and sugar, eliminating all sugary drinks and increasing your water intake, not only will you lose weight you will have a much better chance at keeping it off once you stop the thermogenic.
There are non-thermogenic pills that can help you lose weight that are fat emulsifiers that break down your fat and help your body utilize it for energy and connective tissue such as CLA ( conjugated linolenic acid ) and L-carnitine an amino acid that breaks down your fats and carries long chain fatty acids into your cells and burns them for energy. Those with high blood sugar should be using these two supplements instead of thermogenics, in fact, L-carnitine helps strengthen the heart as well as help you lose weight.
Most people have a hard time dealing with life changes, they want to hang on to their comfort foods that make them gain weight, most people are addicted to sugar in its many forms because it raises the same neurotransmitter in your brain as does heroin, and let's face it, addictions are hard to break. Loosing weight is really about fighting addiction and if you think that isn't true, try to get somebody who loves soda pop to stop drinking it. I've seen people stop smoking easier than those who tried to stop drinking soda pop. I've heard so many people tell me that they can't drink water, their liquid has to have some form of flavor. For me it's very hard to picture since I love water and can't stand anything else, it all taste too fake.
Unless we break the addictions that bind us to our unhealthy weight, we will never have the success we're looking for. If you think you're not addicted, try giving up your soda pop, caffeine, simple carbohydrates and sugar and see how far you get before you cave in. So, until you admit to yourself that you are a caffeine and sugar junkie, you will forever have problems with your weight.
