One of my clients missed 2 training sessions this week. He is one of the most dedicated guys who has gotten some of the best results of any client!

But why miss training?

Stomach viral flu that’s why. Constant toilet trips for 3 days, and a trip to the hospital for an IV drip. He lost 3kg in 3 days.

He got dehydrated, weaker and less healthy.
He’s back now but it will take about a week or so of proper eating and training to get back to pre-sickness levels.

But hey! Isn’t that what some places in Singapore that specialize in weight loss do?

Wrap a client up in cling wrap and stay in a heated room to lose “weight”… or some injections that cause your body to cleanse itself? (While not taking into account the removal of those toxins)

I think I have found the perfect analogy.

Those therapies have no scientific backing (and those centers will not be able to provide any…).
They are dangerous
They work as well as…

A Stomach Flu Virus

Same mechanism – you lose water, and go to the toilet more…
Same results – you lose health

Buyer beware. There is no magic pill or potion that sheds pounds. But if you do what we ask as part of our exercise and nutrition programs like our Fitness Bootcamp and personal training programs, the results are almost magical with NONE of the side effects:)
