Weight loss tips are everywhere it seems. Every person you meet thinks either they know the secret for weight loss, or they are searching desperately for it. Weight loss is on everyone's mind. So what really works? You read everywhere about extreme diets that stars are on and hours of time in the gym. There are stories about weird weight loss methods like body wraps that sweat out off the fat, patches you put on your arm and are supposed to magically lose 20 pounds in like 5 days and even hundreds of different kinds of weight loss pills. With so many different ads and ‘doctor's representing these ads, it is hard to find a product that is tried and true. The only thing that we know for sure that works is diet and exercise. It just makes sense that you have to burn more calories than you are taking in to lose weight. Not only is dieting healthy and exercising the key to weight loss, but it also helps to prevent a ton of diseases like diabetes or joint problems.

America is getting fatter and fatter, it's just a fact. With all of the fast food chains and peoples busy schedules it isn't hard to believe that so many people are overweight. The problem is, they see in the media all of these fad diets and crazy new weight loss tips that seems to be working for stars, like drinking some concoction for a week straight. It probably will cause you to lose weight, but that is because you aren't eating and it is extremely unhealthy.

We need someone in the media to stand up and say, “This is the right way to lose weight and be healthy at the same time”. Or people need to take control of their own lives and health instead of looking up to celebrities. Not only are adults taking fad diets seriously, but they are teaching their children that starving yourself and not eating healthy is the right way to lose weight.

The only proven way (and also a lot cheaper than the other ways out there) is to eat a balanced meal with lean protein and fruits and vegetables and exercise frequently. The new food guide pyramid should really influence people. Not only is there food on it, but there is a man on the side of it climbing up to the top. This represents the exercise portion of the equation.
