You are right. There’s so much scam out there… it’s really incredible.
Thanks for writing the article, I’ll read it when I have more time.
But calling a 12 page article “mini” really is underrating the work you put into it I think ;-)
I wrote a mini 12 page article title “Weight loss is dead” that I want you to check out if you haven’t already done so. It’s a great read talking about my thoughts on the weight loss industry and what crap is being taught “out there.” A lot of marketing goes into these fitness programs and the fitness industry loses sight of what really matters… you.
I felt that I needed to write this as there are lot of false promises in the fitness industry… and it really ticks me off. I’ve seriously seen so many fad diets, pills, supplements and gimmicky fitness products with huge promises that simply take people’s money and leave them disappointed. Remember how I talked about fitness marketing? This is how they do it. Fancy bottles, fancy DVD workout videos… etc.
So, to my article. Here’s the scoop. This mini report talks about the health state of our current society and how we need to get back to the “basics” with our lifestyles. Seems complicated but it’s really not. If you consume garbage foods, on a regular basis and are sedentary (not active, lazy…etc) you aren’t giving your body much choice.
I have lots of great information in this mini article and it’s a short read so check it out!
I’d love to hear your feedback on my mini report. Please comment below.
Thanks!

It’s my pleasure to write! I find the industry can be very frustrating so I’m doing my best to pass on the good word! Thank you for acknowledging that it’s not really a “mini” article. Might be more appealing for more to read when it’s an easy read!
I for certain won’t call my 80 page e book “mini” by any means! Ha!
Thanks for your comments!!!!

Hey Jeff,
I love your blog BTW. Weight loss will never be dead if 2 out of 3 people in the US are overweight or obese. It’s a frightening statistic.
And I hate the gimmicks too. It drives me bananas because then the “laymen” the average Joe and Jane expects to just do 1000 crunches before going to bed and the think they’ll burn fat in their abdominal region. LOL!!
People don’t understand because the real, true information is not getting to them.

Thanks for comments and following Diane! North American is getting sicker each day. Something needs to change on how people take care of themselves. I always am a firm believer in leading by example! We need to get them the true information!
