Straight Up Fitness: Myths, Lies, and Scams

I was searching the net and was sickened by the amount of bad information that it out on the internet. There are so many websites promising miracle pills, exercises, and advice that will give the reader instant gratification. The truth is that there are no quick fixes. If there is a pill that causes you to lose 10 pounds in two weeks its extremely unhealthy.

I came across a website http://www.fireyourfat.com/?gclid=CKLhxqfN85UCFQOuFQodeWlwjQ I was very surprised that apparently Opera and many other celebrities endorse such a product. There are many, many others available on the internet that promise quick and easy results. The only Drug that has been FDA approved is ALLI.

I want the subscribers to my blog to understand that most of the information on the internet is not academically based and often is there to make some sort of profit. I have visited too many "fitness" websites that look good when they first are looked at, but when closely examined the website ultimately was there to sell a product. The only websites that I have found as of right now are those created and maintained by the federal government.

So, I would like to forewarn my readers to be careful and closely examine all of the information that you receive from the internet.
