They say the true price to pay for beauty is with your life… Once before I thought that expression meant sufferings of sort but I am now inclined to believe that it is true to the very last word in very literal terms too. So why then do people do it? Why trade your life for a life you will never have because at end of it what you end up with is nothing – you’re literally lifeless when you’re dead. If that line didn’t make much sense, then perhaps this explanation will help. Every year thousands of people go under the knife in the name of beauty and a fair % of those people never wake up to leave the operating table, but that’s the risk you take with surgery.
So some refrain from surgery and opt for the “safer” option – weight loss or weight management supplements. To be even safer they opt for the all natural varieties, but here’s the problem – just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it is safe.
Take fat blockers for example. The natural options are made from cactus powder which has the ability to slow down the absorption of fat in the body. Sounds good? Yes we think so too but not when you abuse the use of it.
You see fat blockers slow down the absorption of fat but it does not distinguish between the types of fat it works against. Our body like it or not needs some good fats and these are all blocked out by the fat blockers if we take them irresponsibly.
We need to appreciate that there are no short cuts to success and the same for weight loss. If you are serious about losing weight, you’ve got to sweat and suffer a little for it. You can’t expect to keep downing buckets of greasy fried food then swallowing tablets of fat blockers in hope that it will reverse the negative impacts of those foods. This is no different from people who binge and take laxatives.
It’s worth reading this short article about the specific effects over-consuming fat blockers will have on you by a Naturopathic Physician.
