While surfing the web recently I have noticed a growing number of these diet pill review site. This came to my attention to know more about some of these diet pill review site. So I contacted a few of these sites to see what was really behind . My investigation lead me to discover that 95% of these sites are no more than affiliates promoting the diet pill brands of others, while not recommending 99% of other diet products by falsely misleading the consumers with testimonials of clients that obviously look fake . What they actually want to do is let consumers believe that real clients have tested the diet pills  without success and instead what they suggest are the best brands of diet pills. Remember that the more they review a product to be mediocre the more you should beware.(it is probably one good competitor trying to sell a product on the market.) And if you look at these diet pill review sites closely, you will also notice that several will recommend the same diet pills, as these companies have enrolled some of these review sites in their affiliate program. These diet pill reviews are not nutritionist or health professionnals. No they are just greedy marketers willing to sell you diet pills. Bottom line what ever misleading names they use, best diet pills, slimming pills review, top diet pill review top 25 fat burners, dietpillcritic, fatburner.net, criticalorie…  these diet pill reviews are simply websites selling diet pills and they are not at all offering a neutral and objective advice on the best way to choose a diet pill. More than that all these diet pill review websites have Pay per click sponsored links running everyday on Google. Just this should ring an alarm as to the credibility of these diet pill review sites. Who would spend thousands of dollars on pay per click ads only to review the diet pills of competitors without offering anything. I don’t know anyone that does that.   Now if you have decided to use a diet pill to lose weight, I strongly suggest you to do your own homework and not get the advice of these diet pill review sites to make a good decision.  Because obviously they will only recommend you what they are selling: their top 3 or top 4 diet pills… while telling you every other pills on the market are mediocre. Now  this doesn’t make any sens(see an example on this link).I know this is difficult because you find on the market thousands of diet pills, but the best way is always to visit the site ask questions on the product, check the criterias of the ingredients…Basically you don’t need a diet pill review site just your own judgement will be enough. And if you are not sure about a company’s reputation just check on the consummer sites, the BBB… there are numerous sites outhere( mayo clinic )(webmd) that will give you serious and credible informations on the effectiveness and quality of natural ingredients entering in a diet pill.

It was February of 2001 and there I was, about to turn 41, when it hit me: “I’m not 20 any more!”

OK, self-realization has never been my strong suit. Not only was I out of place on the basketball court, I was out of place climbing 2 flights of stairs. There were lots of friends telling me, “you’re not as young as you used to be, you have to give up on that stuff.”

Give up? I grew up watching a nation decide to land on the moon, and then they did it. This was a country that had less computer power at all of NASA than most people have today in their cell phones, and yet they decided to go to the moon, and then did it.

So I figured that surely by 2001, 30 years after the moon landing, people had figured out how to make fitness easy. Well, 6 months, 5 magazine subscriptions, 2 gym memberships, 3 personal trainers and a basement full of fitness equipment later… I realized that fitness is a different kind of problem than landing on the moon. It’s a problem that people lie about.

I’m not even talking about the intentional lies that some marketers make about products they know won’t work. I’m talking about the lies people tell themselves, that government agencies tell us all.

People treat fitness like it is solved, like all you have to do is work out 3 times a week and you are set.

Well sure, someone who works out 3 times a week is better off than someone who doesn’t work out at all. By “better off,” what they mean is that they don’t deteriorate as fast.

But I wanted more than that. I wanted an actual solution, like when you put toast in the toaster and it gets toasted, reliably.

I looked and saw people going through the motions. Maybe they were looking better than they would have looked and feeling better than they would have felt. But, they weren’t feeling good, weren’t getting strong, and weren’t becoming athletes.

I didn’t see 40-year-olds playing full court basketball, or taking up extreme sports, and at first I thought that was just because they weren’t trying hard enough. But then I started trying, started following the plans: doing the workout programs, taking the vitamins, and following the diet formulas.

They didn’t work. And that’s when I learned the big lie.

The big lie is that fitness is easy if you’ll just get up and move. It’s not true. Fitness isn’t easy, not at 40. Your body is complicated. It’s not as simple as standing in line and waiting your turn on the elliptical.

Here’s what my 40 years of life experience had taught me:

- If you Want to build a straw hut, trial and error will get the job done.

- If you Want to build a skyscraper, you need to understand the problem and put the right pieces in place.

OK, I was 40. Maybe I should have wanted to just be able to get around better and to fit into clothes well. But I wanted to play full court basketball, to learn to play ice hockey and how to downhill ski, and to actually accomplish things that most 40-year-olds gave up on. I wanted fitness to be as solved as using a microwave oven.

Well, it can be. But there’s a lot I had to learn to determine that. Here are some of the things I figured out.

1. The foundation, just like in the skyscraper example, has to be there before you start worrying about what paint to put on the exterior. For fitness this is muscle.

Aerobics worked fine for me when I was 20-years-old because at 20 I naturally had a high percentage of lean muscle mass. But, at 40, I had to focus on it and had to build that foundation first before focusing on aerobics. The reason is that aerobics, while great for your heart and your waistline, slows down muscle growth and even stops or reverses it at extremes.

So the first trick is to begin by causing your muscles to grow. And overshoot your muscle goals before layering on the aerobics. Understanding this can save you lots of frustration, and get you back to the “I want it all” mindset that we all deserve from our fitness efforts.

2. All workouts are not created equal. Different methods of working out accomplish different things. Just like you wouldn’t take art classes to learn business, you don’t run to build muscle, and you don’t lift heavy to burn fat. Knowing, and planning for, the different types of effects of different types of exercises can save you tons of wasted time.

3. Your body isn’t on internet time. I’ve tried for a long time to find a different way to put this, but I still haven’t come up with a clearer analogy: from conception of a baby to birth takes nine months. This is true regardless of how many couples there are or how enthusiastically they try. In each case it simply takes nine months.

Your body’s transformation takes time as well. Knowing what is realistic will put you on the consistent improvement track. Trying to do things that aren’t realistic will not achieve faster results, but worse ones.

You can have it all. I’m about to turn 49 now and last year I learned to ski. In fact, I not only learned, but I was swooshing down the black diamond slopes along with the 20-year-olds. I haven’t slam-dunked a basketball yet, but it’s just a matter of time.
