<p>The other day, after watching a weight loss commercial, I began wondering about the validity of those type of commerials. The specific product that was advertised was suppose to make the consumer loose around 25-30 lbs. in one month, which meant losing anywhere from 6 to 10 lbs a week :eek:. Am I the only one that thinks that it is unreasonable to loose that much weight in that time period? People got to eat, don’t they? </p>
<p>Well, anyways, can average people with exercise and good eating loose 25-30 lbs. in one month or is it more like 15-20 lbs. ? And, talking about good eating and exercise, how will you accomplish that? How long and how many times will a person have to exercise? What sort of foods must a person eat?</p>
<p>Notice the fine print “Results not typical”. Someone who is pretty obese could and more than likely would lose 15 or so lbs of water weight in the first month or so, then they start to lose the fat at around 5-6 lbs a month.</p>
<p>Well, what about a normal-weight person? Could they loose 15lbs of water weight in a month? If they could in a safe way, that would be pretty good since most normal-weight people want to loose 10 to 20 lbs. anyways.</p>
<p>if you’ve ever had the stomach flu you’d know you can lose 10 pounds in a week easy. as for the 25-35 pounds in a month? that’s a different question. Many of those people who are cited in those commercials are often times very fit individuals who put on unhealthy amounts of weight and then lose it in an equally unhealthy period of time.</p>
Just kidding… or am I?</p>
