That's right! No program, pill, or procedure will take off the weight. They just don't work- they can't work and you'll not only fail to lose any weight but you may also gain a few pounds. Surprise!
This statement is best taken in the context of LASTING weight loss. Sure, you can pop a few dexa-ephedra-whats-its and chase it with Diet Coke and SlimFast smoothies for a week and shed a few pounds. The thing is (and this is totally my personal and mayhap hallucinatory opinion) any result you get is absolutely and unfortunately temporary. Why? Because that kind of change in behavior and body chemistry is temporary. It's like getting a tan while you're on vacation; a week or two after you get back and out of the sun, you're less bronze god and more Pilsbury Doughboy.
The truth is that unless you permanently modify your behavior, you'll continue to gain weight and whatever plan you sign up for or buy into, well, you had better realize that it's the rest of your life, baby, and not just a quick fix two weeks before bikini season. So onward and upward- I've changed my eating habits and exercise based on a plan I initiated eight months ago. I've made a little progress but realize that it is not a plan that expires when my goals have been met or when bikini season starts (which for me is NEVER- you're welcome!) but a plan that I must maintain for the rest of my life.
Judging from my slowed progress, it's a plan I may need to ramp-up a little.
