Detox Drinks
The first very popular weight loss trick I want to go over is weight loss detox drinks.
Detox drinks are not gonna magically make you lose weight.
If you cut up a cucumber, add a lemon, and mix it with some green tea it’s still not gonna magically make you lose weight.
There’s so much hype about detox drink yet there’s no solid evidence that they even help with weight loss.
I’m not denying that they may have health benefits however, when it comes to weight loss most detox drinks have very little if anything to do with it at all.
One thing that is interesting is apple cider vinegar.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used this amazing elixir as a natural antibiotic and antiseptic to heal patients as far back as 400 B.C.!
In a Japanese study, participants who drank more ACV than their counterparts during a 12 week period had lower BMI, waist circumference and visceral fat than the control group who drank none!
According to one study, consuming ACV decreased the risk of esophageal cancer.
And the Gerson Institute - a leader in cancer research and treatment - fights cancer with a therapy that alkalizes the body to inhibit the growth of cancer because cancer can't survive in an alkaline environment. ACV naturally alkalizes your body!
This almost magical liquid has WAY more beneficial uses than you could have imagined.
The new guest article below uncovers 81 unique ways that ACV can change, save, improve and simplify your life!
>> Discover 81 Reasons why you need to use Apple Cider Vinegar Every Day
There was actually a study conducted on 144 obese Japanese adults.
It was a 12-week long study in which one group had one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day, the other group had 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per day and the last group just had a placebo drink. There were no variations to diet.
The interesting thing was that the group that had one tablespoon lost an average of 2.6 pounds and the group that had two tablespoons lost 3.7 pounds.
On top of that the group that had the placebo ended up gaining about a pound.
Now even though apple cider vinegar does seem to help you lose a little more weight, if you have apple cider vinegar and ice cream you’re probably not going to lose all that much weight.
Your food intake on your calorie intake is a lot more important, but other than Apple Cider Vinegar most detox drinks are completely useless.

Liquid ketones
Another new popular weight loss trick that doesn’t work is liquid ketones. Let me explain.
ketones are a byproduct of ketosis caused by the process of converting fat to fuel.
Your body makes them when it’s in a calorie or carb restricted state and then your body can use these ketones for energy instead of glucose.
You can burn a bunch of fat when your body enters ketosis and begins making ketones on its own. However, it doesn’t work the other way around.
Randomly adding in extra ketones through supplementation will not magically get you into ketosis.
Not only that, if you’re still eating carbs while taking ketones your body will continue running off of the carbs and the ketones can even cause you to store extra fat.
These ketones will only halt fat loss.
Remember you want to have your body convert your own fat cells into ketones and then you want them to be used for energy. You don’t want to just add extra ketones, makes sense.
Editors Note: While high-fat foods have been demonized by the mainstream media, did you know that there are actually 4 specific fatty foods that are proven to ACCELERATE fat-burning?
It’s true, and even better, I show you all four at the link below…
The next pretty useless diet trick is to never skip breakfast.
Skipping Breakfast
Like the saying goes, “Eat like a king for breakfast a queen for lunch and like a pauper for dinner.” Why??????
So you can have a food coma at work? Why not just do it in reverse?
I mean if it’s going to be the same calories and the same macros it makes no difference if you eat like a king for dinner and a poor man for lunch, it doesn’t matter.
Most of the trucks that you hear about meal timing are myths.
Look, if it works for you to eat a big breakfast then do it.
If that somehow prevents you from pigging out at night go for it, but if you like having a big dinner then don’t blow your calories on a huge breakfast its that simple.
Next is the body wrap.
Body Wraps
I have to mention this at least once a year, body wraps do not work.
If you take your body wrap and you dip it into a mixture of cinnamon lemon apple cider vinegar and Magic pixie dust it’s still won’t work.
The only possible thing that a body wrap can help you do is it can help you lose some water weight and it’s not even very good at that.
You’d be a lot better off going into a sauna or even better jogging with a sweat suit.
The only time that the body wrap works is when you combine it with diet and exercise.
So in reality, you might as well not do the body wrap and just do proper diet and exercise.
Next on the list are diet pills and powders.
Pills, Powders and Potions Oh MY!
Now diet pills can help you lose a little extra fat and a little extra weight. However, they’re not like apple cider vinegar.
Many times these diet pills are filled with harmful ingredients and they also raise your heart rate.
It’s like an extreme dose of caffeine so it’s very stressful on the body.
I’ve seen people get nose bleeds, headaches and I’ve heard of people getting a lot worse.
The extra 2 three pounds that you lose after dieting for weeks are not worth it.
The next popular trick that can some times blow up in your face is cheat days.
Cheat Days
Cheat days really do work very well for some people.
Cheat days provides a mental break more than anything and it gives you a chance to reset and to take on the next week. For other people it could completely throw them off .
It’s like exercising non-stop for a month and then just taking a week off, it’s gonna be really hard to get back into the gym after that week off.
A cheat meal easily can lead to a full-out binge followed by another cheat day, followed by a cheat week and a cheap month.
You really have to figure out whether cheat days are gonna be beneficial for you or not.
One cheat meal a week is something that everybody can afford to do as long as it doesn’t lead you to binge out and as long as it doesn’t throw you off of your momentum.
When I’m really really serious about cutting I won’t have any cheat days for weeks straight.
Are you the type of person that could have a bite of ice cream and feel better or are you the type of person that would rather not have any ice cream at all because just one bite will make you want to eat the whole thing.
Another trick that we’re always told about is to snack on nuts.
Snacking on Nuts
I don’t know many people that could have one handful of nuts and feel any better than they did before they had that handful of nuts.
On the other hand I know a lot of people that will have one handful of nuts that leads to 2, 3 & 4.
Most nuts are actually pretty high in calories and you can definitely gain fat from overeating healthy snacks like nuts.
Another one is fat-free popcorn. Again if you eat too much of it (which most people will) then you’re not going to be burning any fat or losing any weight.
Next up we have the whole crazy idea that wine (especially red wine) will help you hack your way to weight loss.
Red Wine
In reality, the only thing that wine is going to do for you is it’s going to give you a bunch of excess calories mostly in the form of simple carbohydrates.
I don’t know if you guys know this but alcohol simple carbohydrates and alcohol in general are not that great for helping you lose weight.
In fact, you’ll probably spike your insulin, spike your blood sugar and store fat rather than burn it.
A great alternative would be water and if you want to drink alcohol stick to hard liquors like unflavored vodka.
Another super popular tip that I just couldn’t leave out is the whole eat 5 or 6 small a day thing.
Eating 5-6 meals A Day
Now don’t get me wrong if you were trying to build muscle, eating more times throughout the day can help spike your insulin levels.
It can also help you consume more calories throughout the entire day and by putting yourself in a calorie surplus you’re going to be able to build more muscle. It works for that.
However, when you’re trying to lose weight we’re aiming for a calorie deficit which for a lot of people is a lot easier to achieve ating less frequently throughout the day.
This advice is given as a one-size-fits-all approach but it’s really not that simple.
Some people truly do better with smaller meals throughout the day because it keeps them from going hungry which leads them to more control over their diet plan.
Other people can’t stand the burden of eating all day and they can’t stand eating little meals that don’t fill them up.
Whether you choose to use your calories and macros on little small meals throughout the entire day or Eubank them for bigger meals or just one big meal, it doesn’t really matter for weight loss. They can both work.
The last weight loss trick is that you should lose weight slowly.
Slow Weight Loss
This is absolutely ridiculous. The theory is that if you lose weight too fast your metabolism will slow down and you’ll top losing weight.
However, the truth is that any diet plan you do where you cut calories even by a small number like 10% will temporarily slow down your metabolism.
Until you get out of that calorie deficit, many people become demotivated when following the slow weight-loss route.
On a traditional diet plan, that slow weight loss route where you’re only losing one or two pounds a week is demotivating especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.
By the time you see results, you would have already been frustrated demotivated and honestly you probably would have already quit by then.
Aggressive weight loss plans are a lot of times the best route for people looking to lose a lot of weight, but they can be bad news if you don’t have a long term diet plan to back it up.
You really only want to be doing aggressive cuts where you would cut your calories by as much as 40 to 45 percent.
You really only want to be doing that temporarily for maybe a month or two before you switch to a more sustainable diet approach for the long haul.
I’ve helped so many online clients lose 20 pounds in just six weeks and I’m willing to bet that if they didn’t see the weight come off so fast they might have quit.
They probably would have quit and they would have not lost very much at all.
I’m actually offering the same challenge right now on my TurnAround Fitness Coaching Program.
You get me as your coach, a workout, a diet plan and much much more. All you have to do is simply stick to the plan.
