'Weight Loss Shakes & Supplements' - The hidden toxins and chemicals!

Weight loss in a bottle. Sounds good ain't it? Forget about your diet and eating real foods, as long as you consume these so called weight loss/weight management products, you will lose weight. From diet pills to so called fat burners, and weight loss shakes to metabolism stimulator products, how much truth is revealed to the consumers or the public, and the consequences of long term consumption. How many buyers actually realize what's really inside the ingredients of these products? Possible 1 out of every 1000 buyers? 

Before we even get started, let's be honest. How many of us still inherit the wisdom of our ancestors? Remember our great grandparents guidance and advise of how to eat, move and be healthy? How many amongst us still eating real whole foods? In reality, not many, perhaps less then 0.1% of population. We have been hardwired and brainwashed by the media and supplements industry to depend on so called weight loss formulas or products. We have been strayed off course of what our ancestors been eating for countless generations to thrive and evolved to be reproductively healthy. Did our ancestors need weight loss shakes or fat burners to stay lean and healthy? Forget about whichever Degree or PhD education you achieved and declared yourself to be an 'educated' professional. If you lose your own common sense, you are in big trouble with your own life management, including health! A more important question, "Am I fat because deficiency of weight loss products? Or perhaps "Am I fat because deficiency in slimming center treatment?" Even better, "Am I fat because I have deficiency in participating marathon?"

As we are living in a society of wanting a quick fix for almost everything in life, health and weight management are no exception. Most of us want 'miracle pill' or 'weight loss in a bottle' solution. Eat anything we want, and pop those pills or gulp down those shakes, we will lose weight! Sounds awesome ain't it? Tons of supplement companies sell their products having claimed that its endorsed or approved by so called doctor who and who, or by this dietitian or that nutritionist. The marketing strategies are nothing less then 'vault-proof', these guys know exactly how to promote and sell their products to consumers who desperately need help to lose weight or generally for the sake of improving health or nutrition requirements. 

Ask yourself this question. Did our healthy yet lean ancestors need all these weight loss products to stay in shape and healthy? Do they need to be told what to eat, or do they even know what a calorie is? The answer is of course a big NO. From soy formulated shakes to excitotoxins loaded meal replacement, I will reveal the truth about some of these weight loss products being sold in the market to people like us. It's time people realize the actual cause of weight gain, eating real whole foods is essential to sustaining life, maintain health and bodily functions, the body recognize what's found in nature, and not lab made toxins loaded processed food products. 

Most people tend to focus almost entirely on what's advertised on the product box or package. Weight loss, low fat, healthy nutrition, etc. The key here, is to be an expert of reading ingredients label. How could your body be healthy and maintain proper digestion if you are ingesting a long list of toxins and chemicals loaded beverage? Looking at the ingredient list itself gave me a headache! Apart from highly estrogenic toxic protein isolate, there are multiple excitotoxins in this product. Having canola oil in your shakes? That's just insane! 

This is one of the products of the very popular so called weight loss brand in Singapore, Malaysia and even various countries. Tons of 'good looking' female promoters are promoting and selling the company products claiming it is not only for losing weight, but also improving health. Well well, that's what all supplements companies said right? For whoever bought this product before, you will know even with the brand name is censored in the photo. Apart from fructose (chronic poison), having corn oil and artificial flavors definitely nothing close to being healthy at all. meanwhile, the minerals and vitamins stated in the ingredient list are synthetically made in the laboratory, and not from organic whole foods. 

Another product, same company, excitotoxins loaded so called meal replacement product. First of all,almost all grain-based flour are high glycemic and spike blood sugar levels. Maltodextrin and autolyzed yeast extract have 98% of MSG glutamic affect and can cause havoc in the body. Anti-caking agent in your meal? I'll let you do the math, Mr. degree graduate. 

A worldwide huge company, with well-established household name. Tons of my clients and friends were asking me about A***Y products. I've reviewed before couple times this company's supplement products, the list of chemicals and toxins are as long as a book. Highly toxic Acesulfame potassium (Aspartame) and sucralose in your meal replacement? That's why you can't stop consuming this beverage. I seriously do not understand why you would allow processed soy ingredient in your food or supplement product, unless you a are on a journey to get man-boobs (for a guy) or mess up your thyroid and reproductive system.

This company products are sold in almost every industrialized nation. there are more toxins then actual natural real food ingredient. Color dyes in your supplement? Artificial dyes (especially no 5 & 6) have been shown in studies to link with pulmonary problems such as asthma and hyperactivity in children. These dyes have been banned in countries such as Norway and Austria and are derived from petroleum and used as disel fuel, gasoline and tar. Imagine that in your body. 

What can I say? Four different artificial dyes in a bottle of so called fat-burner product. There are more synthetic chemicals then natural whole foods ingredients in this bottle. There is much cheaper, safer and effective way to trigger the body to go into ketosis and burn fat efficiently.
