ANSWER:
“Burn 30 lbs in 3 weeks - no diet Fat Burner!”
“Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days!”
“Lose a pound a day without diet or exercise!”
“Lose 2 pounds a day without dieting!”
“Lose 30 pounds In 30 Days!”
“Lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks!”
“Burn fat up to 30 lbs in 25 days!”
“Lose 10 Pounds This Weekend!”
ANSWER:
(1) They are all FALSE, (2) they are all DECEPTIVE…and (3) these claims are all actually ILLEGAL, says the Federal Trade Commission.
One thing you should also know is that it’s very common to lose 3 - 5 pounds in the first week on nearly any diet and exercise program and often even more on low carb diets (because low carb diets deplete glycogen and every gram of glycogen holds 3 grams of water). Just remember, its NOT all fat - WATER LOSS IS NOT FAT LOSS - AND WATER LOSS IS TEMPORARY!
The only way to know if you’ve actually lost fat is with body composition testing. For home body fat self-testing, I recommend the Accu-Measure skinfold caliper as first choice. Even better, get a multi site skinfold caliper test from an experienced tester at a health club, or even an underwater (hydrostatic) or air (bod pod) displacement test.
From literally hundreds of client case studies, I can confirm that it’s rare to lose weight more than 2 to 3 lbs of weight per week without losing some muscle along with it. If you lose muscle, you are damaging your metabolism and this will lead to a plateau and ultimately to weight relapse.
