There is an unlimited supply of information and advice on the
Internet and elsewhere relating to weight loss and more often than not
it is from people who have no idea what they are talking about. Many of the people giving advice haven't succeeded in losing any weight of their own or maintaining a healthy body weight.
So how can you be sure that the information you're hearing or reading is safe and suitable to help you lose weight? You're
likely to have read some of the free online weight loss advice already
and if you have visited several weight loss websites you will have
probably already seen some conflicting information.
I suggest that
you take a look at the sites where real people are giving their
opinions and results for what they have achieved and if there are links
to the information that they used for their success you should then
study the program that they refer to and see whether that might be the
type of weight loss program that you could follow.
See whether
there is conflicting advice and also whether the weight loss techniques
they are promoting represent good nutritional advice and/or good
exercise recommendations. Read any testimonials they have on their site to see whether others have had good experiences with the program.
Any
program that has a doctors endorsement will add a lot of weight to the
credibility of the program because they wouldn't want to risk false
advertising claiming doctors testimonials if they weren't true.
Read
all the information they have available on their site and if there is
an opportunity to sign up for a free newsletter, do so to get a better
insight into what they are promoting.
Often you can learn a lot of
very good information from being on a weight loss email list where they
give you tips and advice that you can use before you start a weight
loss regime.
