Do you believe that fat blocker pills are that much different from weight loss pills?

Weight LossSupplementsDiet

I have clients who feel that it's safe to take fat blockers, but those same clients curse weight loss pills to hell.

Fat blockers fall under the umbrella of weight/fat loss supplements. I think weight loss supplements are the biggest marketing scheme that people fall symptom to. I am totally against all weight loss supplements. People get in there head that there is a magical pill to help them lose weight meanwhile they lose sight of the food and exercise - the real solution to their problem. If any weight loss supplement actually worked - 1) it would be known 2) 66% of the population would not be obese.

Why do people want to block food? (Carb blockers/Fat blockers?)

WHY NOT JUST NOT EAT IT?

No, I don't. Its still a weight control supplement. I do understand using these during your friends birthday celebration at the local Rib Shack though!

Hello Gabori,
Not sure why anyone would take a fat blocker. We need fat...good fat. I would advise my client/s proper nutritional habits. Spend the money instead on healthy food low in fat on not depend on a supplement.

Sincerely,
Michael
