Weight Loss

Posted by Mike Behnken, MS, CSCS

Weight loss … GRRRRR… If I have been conveying my thoughts and feelings about the fitness industry on this blog I would hope anybody who has read any of my blog knows my stance.

As a whole, I think the fitness industry stinks.  There is too much crap out and the stink of it, overpowers the good.  As a professional in the fitness industry it appears to me that many companies sell their souls just to make money.

A lot of the products and services being sold, I would go as far as to say the majority, do very little for people, as evidenced by the obesity epidemic here in the US.  I can’t pull any stats out but I have heard that people are spending more on weight loss products than ever and yet are getting fatter by the minute.

Why is this?  I would be willing to bet that people buy weight loss products, some of which are good products, but neglect to exercise and eat properly so it is virtually impossible to lose weight with just a diet pill or fitness dvd alone.

I took this idea and put it to the test on this week Fitness Top 5 List

I stole the idea from Yahoo’s home page.  They always have extremely annoying, yet even more extremely addicting top 10 lists and such which distract me from my email.  I used two of the words I hate seeing because I associate them with all the “too good to be true” products and weight loss, which is always going to be a hot topic and created this weeks top 5, enjoy…   Shocking Weight Loss Secrets
