Prepackaged Diets Are Definitely Not Going to Work

There are loads of pre-packaged fad diets which we are bombarded with every day. We see them in the newspapers, the tv and all over the internet. They are the Jenny Craigs, the Atkins the Nutrisystems of this world.

They have been ‘proven’ to provide those fantastic results everyone is looking for. They have been ‘known’ to guarantee you to lose something like 80 pounds in 2 weeks. As great as it sounds, the results and their claims themselves are horribly inaccurate.

You would have to deprive yourself of food altogether for these fads to work as they claim. An interesting point is, part of the weight may be muscle tissue. The digestive system can consume protein out of your own body!

Pre-packaged diets can end up taking advantage of you in a variety of different ways. For example, Nutrisystem advertises a great average price per meal. Nevertheless, it’s basically eating out day after day after day, and we all know how much money that ends up taking.

For example, their advertised price is less than $3 a meal. They are averaging at a base price of $7 a day for their women’s program. For 28 days, that’s $196. They’re also saying base price. They can also rack up the price whenever they want without telling you.

Another miscalculation in time can also leave you with a dry credit card when you forget to cancel. Do you see those ads? Take a look at the bottom next time. The claims of losing 40 pounds (in the entire program) are not typical. They even say “Results not typical”.

Beware of these near impossible claims as they are mostly untrue or giving you examples of extreme cases that are not in the least typical. Yes, some have lost 40 pounds but it is more likely that you will lose less than a quarter of that. They do not make any promises of significant weight loss. When the programme does not work, they will blame you for not sticking with the rules.

If yo do the math, this equates to $800 for 40 pounds which is a LOT of money. It is better to do the noralt things to lose weight like healthy exercise and eating. A lot of these programs will leave you out of pocket and no weight loss to show for it. These programs are designed for people with a lot of funds available or they will not succeed. There is never a guarantee that you will be one of the few that will succeed.
