Sometimes I wonder if Marilyn Monroe ever used diet pills. Obviously, she was a rather curvy woman, and they admired that at that point in time. This being said, many now compare themselves to Marilyn Monroe, because they talk about her being the sex goddess of the 50’s at a size 14. We should really be clear, she was a size 6 for most of her life being a size 14 only in small intervals. This being said, just about every woman has her own issues with her body shape and size among other things. There are skinny women who wish they had more curves, curvier women who wish they were skinnier, most of us are never exactly happy with our looks, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was one of those women, just like the rest of us. But like I said, she peaked at the size 14, that was not a weight she was at for most of her life or for that matter extended periods of time, and I might suspect that she might have used diet pills to get back down just as other famous starlets since her have supposedly done, such as for example Anna Nicole Smith.

I’ve heard all about the best diet pills. They have this, that, clinically proven ingredients, the meanest fat burning formulas you’ve ever seen, and by the way that’s not a good thing, revolutionary, etc. But honestly speaking, the “best diet pills” are not often what they seem. Nothing comes for free, and so often they have side effects without results, definitely not the best diet pills to say the least. This being said, the best diet pills really incorporate several types of ingredients, but one in particular, the appetite suppressant. It’s a simple equation. You eat less, consumer fewer calories, you lose more weight, because you have fewer calories to burn off assuming of course you keep up the same exercise routine. This being said, you shrink your stomach over time, and if combining this with frequent small meals throughout the day, it’s really not a bad thing. The best diet pills are hard to find. But it’s not impossible to find them. It just takes some work and moreover research. And one of the most important things to see is if they are telling the ultimate truth in generalized advertising.

There are so many fat burners out there. The most popular one I’ve seen lately is of course green tea, and they don’t just call their green tea products fat burners. They would never do that. Instead, they talk about them enhancing your health, lowering your cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. With green tea, it’s up in the air for me. On one point yes it will promote fat burning with its caffeine related element, and yes it will actually lower cholesterol being that it has antioxidant power. But at the same point in time, caffeine doesn’t really affect cholesterol and it definitely raises blood pressure, which is why they say that people with high blood pressure ideally shouldn’t actually use it. There are plenty of fat burners out there that I have these kinds of concerns about and so on and so forth. Green tea is just one of the more popular ones and therefore one of the easier ones to pick out and wonder about. It’s also one of the most studied, so it’s the easiest to evaluate all of those factors in greater detail. But I wonder, do the beneficial parts really counteract the bad parts. I mean nothing is completely good granted. But it’s a fine balance.

I wondered for a while if those cortisol products worked to reduce weight and specifically target belly fat.  I didn’t really know much about it at the time that they were really popular.  But then the FTC censured them and basically answered my question.  I did more research into it, and I found that quite frankly speaking, cortisol buildup like they were talking about or really of any kind is a rather rare medical condition.  It is produced in higher amounts if you’re stressed, but not like that.  That being said, I actually ended up looking at the ingredients lists too.  One product had green tea, which obviously wouldn’t reduce stress, but at least it would burn some fat, if they had used the right amounts, which they definitely didn’t.  But the rest of the products and the rest of the ingredients in that one were all sleep aids and so on.  I mean if I wanted sleep aids and I had cortisol buildup that would actually respond to that, which by the way it doesn’t, I would have lost weight using the sleep aids I have used before.  So it’s all a bunch of bunk to be quite honest.  It’s just a matter of how hard you are going to fall for it.
