Fat Loss Program

When it comes to dieting and exercise, you might be torn between whether to simply get out on the street and do a bit of running, or follow a set exercise and eating plan. If you are having difficulty deciding - you are not alone. After all, one option is free (but arguably less effective), and the other requires a financial commitment.

So which is best? And how do you decide what to do? Let's take a logical look at these questions.

My Program or Paid Program?

You're ready to lose weight, but you cannot decide. Should I set my own exercise and eating program, or should I buy a predesigned one for $39.99?

To find the answer you need to weigh the pros and cons of each choice. Let's take a look at these for your own fat loss program:
  • You design the program - so your performance is really dependent on your level of knowledge around fat burning

  • You can shape and mould the program to fit your lifestyle and time commitments

  • The program might not be as effective because it doesn't have any scientific or nutritional basis (unless you are a nutritionist or scientist yourself)

  • It is free!
As you can see - whilst designing your program saves you money, in the long term it might actually take you longer to lose weight than with a paid fat loss program. Now let's take a look at a similar list of pros and cons for the paid program:

  • The program is designed for you and therefore you have no control over what is in it

  • You are bound by the programs requirements and you will need to exercise and eat in accordance with the paid fat loss program

  • This is arguably more effective, as most fat loss programs are based on scientific facts and statistics

  • The program will require an upfront payment
Again, there are different benefits and drawbacks to a paid program.

Conclusion on Fat Loss Programs

So what is the answer to our dilemma? Which should you choose? In our opinion, paying a small amount of money for professional advice on dieting and exercise is much more productive than trying to get the same results yourself with a self-designed program.

However, to get around the costly nature of fat loss programs - you might want to try your own before investing, to see if you have what it takes to design your own program.
