Hollywoods New Skinny Pill
Have you ever wondered how celebrities lose weight so fast, they even accomplish this after just having a baby. Whenever they're interviewed and asked about how they achieved rapid weight loss, they usually say they have been seeing this great new diet guru, or they're working out, or even worse they just happen to be busy and the weight fell off.
Personal Trainers like myself always laugh and say "yeah I'm sure that's all it took to lose the weight in 2 weeks". I know to lose a lot of weight in a couple of weeks is going to be hard if done naturally.
But I guess nothing in Hollywood is natural. Here's what's really going on in Hollywood, there is a diet drug phenomenon going on in the secret world of celebrities and it's called Clenbuterol, originally used to treat asthma it is now being used by models and actresses. Bodybuilders are particularly fond of clenbuterol because of it's incredibly ability to burn body fat.
It has been wrongly called a steroid which it is not, it is a stimulant drug which increases your adrenalin, and you know how adrenalin increases your heart rate, this also results in burning fat as well. Clenbuterol is capable of not affecting your heart rate unless you are sensitive to the drug or use it in excess.
Big Changes On The Scales
People who use clenbuterol would love to continue using it, but it can only be used for one month because your body stops producing as much adrenalin as it did when you first start taking it, so it loses it's effect.
People who choose to stop taking it after one month increase the chances of terrible side effects like heart stiffening, heart attacks, and palpitations.
Clenbuterol is very effective for fat loss. As a prescription drug in Europe, it's considered safe and effective for treating asthma. I must say that athletes and cyclists have been using this drug for decades.
Because of the rapid weight loss and skeleton like bodies of the fashion models using clenbuterol, demand is already escalating about how to obtain and use clenbuterol.
Buyer Beware!
I wouldn't advise anyone to take clenbuterol to lose weight, even if studies say it's safe to take for one month, I still believe people will be tempted to misuse it, in hope of more rapid weight loss.
Also another thing to look out for is the illegitimate products sold on the black market, especially internet sites selling phony clenbuterol, or clenbuterol without any quality assurance and safety, purchasing this types of products can be dangerous even deadly.
It's Not My Fault
At London Fashion week, the godfather of fashion Giorgio Armani went on to say. "I never wanted to use girls who are too skinny. Unfortunately, though the stylists and the media have interfered and the trend is for models who are incredibly thin," he says.
Well I'm sure he has the power to do something about this, I can understand him not wanting to take all the blame because designers, stylists and the media all contribute to this size zero era.
While women are willing to ignore potential health risks by popping a pill, it has shown to have another downside by messing with your metabolism, and if your metabolism is not running efficiently it will eventually lead to weight gain.
Learning how to lose weight and keep it off is much safer than relying on pills, because without knowledge of how to lose weight naturally you will always be looking for the next wonder drug to solve your problems.
