Can I really eat whatever I want and still lose weight?

I am pretty certain that most weight loss experts are inundated with questions about whether they can reach their weight loss goals while maintaining poor eating habits. This is said, but it's true that most of us are always looking for the easy way out. This is no way to approach long-term weight loss plans, especially if you are serious about slimming down and getting healthier. You may be able to achieve quick weight loss with some of the fad products out there, but all that weight is likely to come back sooner than later. Weight loss is a lifestyle change, not an overnight formula.

A product called the Alli Diet Pill seems to be marketed towards dieters who wish to lose weight by blocking the absorption of dietary fats from their food. The company says that the formula can prevent the absorption of up to 25 percent of all consumed fats, which sounds great. After all, this theoretically means we could skip the salad at lunchtime and go for the greasy burger we're really craving -- all without feeling guilty. However, this type of mentality is dangerous, because you might be tempted to eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Besides, this type of supplement has not been proven in studies to work in the long run.
