Does the Hollywood Diet work?

Quite honestly, it depends on what your definition of “work” is. As most of us already know, the ONLY way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit. We have to use more calories than we consume.

That leaves us with two options: Diet and weight loss products that “work” by helping with creating a calorie deficit- and those that will never work because they don’t do anything. Let’s begin with diet pills, then move on to popular diet plans. So do diet pills really work? Again, it depends. Some are powerful stimulants that will artificially boost your metabolism and suppress your appetite. Others are nothing more than a mix of fiber or common herbs, these are the ones that don't do anything- except lighten you wallet. However,  an appetite suppressant wil help you create a calorie deficit, if it’s powerful enough.

So bottom line, do fat burners really work for weight loss? Only if you like the idea of being constantly filled with strong stimulants for weeks or months. I would encourage you to research some of the side effects of powerful stimulants. Then you have to ask yourself this question: If I did not keep the weight off before I went on that diet pill, why would I be able to keep weight off after I stopped using it? Something to honestly think about.

Next up, does ANY main stream diet or weight loss plan really work- permanently?

For example, does Jenny Craig REALLY work? If it creates a calorie deficit for you, yes it could possibly work. You will experience weight loss.

However...

Extensive research from UCLA has shown that people on popular did lose weight, but within two years 83% had gained back more weight than lost. Their research concluded people who did not go on a special diet, were better off from a health standpoint than those who did.

If you need more proof, just look at the facts:  Nearly seven out of ten Americans are overweight or obese while spending forty billion dollars annually on fat loss products. Think about that, if any advertised diet plan worked permanently- would so many people still be overweight?

So rather than ask yourself: Does NutriSytem really work? Does the Hollywood Diet work? Does any fad diet work? Or do crash diets really work? Ask yourself: How can I REALLY lose weight?

If you answered “I need to create a small daily calorie deficit,” you’ve taken the first step towards becoming a weight loss success story. Using more calories than consumed can only happen one way: You have to change your old weight gain habits over to better weight loss habits.

If you can do that totally on your own, that’s awesome. Also, there are many free weight loss articles available that can help. I failed at losing weight for 30 years. Over those thirty years, I lost and gained back over three-hundred pounds. I tried a diet shortcut or two. And yes, I wondered; do weight loss pills really work? I was temped to see if there was a shortcut to lose weight.

In the end, the only weight loss "system" that worked for me was the one I put together myself with the help of an e-manual called New Body New Life. It taught me how to see my weight gain habits, and most importantly, it taught me how to change them over to weight loss habits.

As I said, if you can recognize and change your habits on your own, that’s all you need to do for permanent weight loss. The amount of money and time you’ll save by avoiding diet shortcuts will be tremendous.

On a very interesting side note, when you change those habits, it will give you the self confidence to do whatever else you put your mind to. So even if some diet shortcut like Hydroxycut really did work- it can’t give you what changing your habits does:

A whole new level of discipline, confidence, and self respect. And most important the knowledge of how to keep weight off for the rest of your life.
