Weight Loss

Why do diets and/or weight loss programs fail? Because just about every person in this world is looking for an easy way to reduce his/her weight. Let me be the first person to inform you that there is no easy weight loss program. Permanent weight loss only comes by making a lifestyle change to both your diet and is in direct proportion to your physical activity (exercise).

If you do find a weight loss program that offers you immediate results without doing any exercise or changing the way you eat, chances are, it does not work. Most weight loss programs are not only very costly but most become boring after a very short period of time. A lot of times, it's that lack of excitement that makes people quit and go back to what they were doing before they started the program.

One weight loss program that has been receiving a lot of attention lately is the Acai Berry Diet. However, most of the attention this program has been receiving is negative. And since this program has been receiving lots of media attention, a closer look into acai berry, and its weight loss claims, is starting to reveal that most of the outrageous claims simply are NOT true.

What's the problem with the acai berry diet program? At first, the Acai Berry Diet became admired in the market because it claimed to help people lose weight by taking an acai pill and/or acai drink on a regular basis. It offered an effective method to lose weight at an affordable price. This all lead to their claim that "shortly a person who is on such a kind of diet has guaranteed weight loss results in a short time."

According to David Schardt, senior nutritionist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says "in terms of weight loss there's no reason why a fruit like that (acai) would have any particular effect." [1]

The acai berry has also been labeled as the fruit that is "loaded of antioxidants", and that, according to some of the companies promoting the acai product, is the "major factor that helps to reduce weight." It has also been mentioned that the acai berry "enhances your metabolism which aids to burn the extra fat stored in your body."

The acai berry stormed into the marketplace, especially on the Internet, and has made this a widespread, rampant marketing scam. There are "ads everywhere now: acai for weight loss, acai for sexual dysfunction, acai for cancer, acai with a free trial that can cost hundreds of dollars and leave you on hold for hours trying to stop more charges."

It's the acai scam aspect that has taken the focus off the actual scientific facts of this fruit.

There are so many complaints over the companies promoting and selling this so called, weight loss, pill that back in March 2009, the "attorney general of Connecticut, Richard Blumenthal, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest will issue a warning about credit card schemes peddling supplements made from the acai berry."

The marketing scam has also gotten the Better Business Bureau (BBB) involved in trying to stop, what is called a "negative option" advertising scheme. According to Steve Cox, a BBB spokesman, "BBB [the Better Business Bureau] can't speak to the restorative or weight-loss properties of acai-based products, but we are taking companies to task for their misleading sales and marketing practices."

Are there legitimate weight loss programs that do work? Yes! TriVita's Leanology™, a three part weight loss program is scientifically proven to help individuals that are overweight, to lose weight in a manner that is acceptable to healthcare professionals.

A reduced calorie diet and activity are a part of any healthy weight loss program. Leanology™ is no different. Leanology™ follows the "calories in - calories out" approach to weight loss. What this means is that you must burn more calories than you consume in order to lose weight. Leanology Coach™ helps you put this approach to work.

The need for a weight loss program like TriVita's Leanology™ is important to start the weight loss process, but it's not the total cure-all. There has to be a lifestyle change if you want to achieve long term results. These results will improve every facet of your life, and can carry over to other members of your immediate family. TriVita does have the right products, but the products alone are not going to change your lifestyle.
