• Magic Pills Anyone?

  Right now I'm working at GNC and every once in a while there are customers that come in looking for a magical solution for weight loss.  People come in and ask me "So which pill do you think works the best?"  And then I point them to a good product in my opinion..."This one works pretty good...I've had good success with this."  Some customers will tell me "Well, I'm trying to find something that will help me because I'm not working out right now."  I think that it's kinda sad how those clever marketers will market a pill and make it sound like it's the cure for weight loss.  It's very misleading.  There's even a product that says "Eat whatever you want and still lose weight!"  When I read that, I was like "That's just ridiculous!"  Unfortunately, some customers come in looking for a magic pill to fix everything without working out or changing their lifestyle.  The cold hard truth is that there is no such thing.  A while back, I had to realize that myself.
  When a customer asks for a bottle of diet pills, I ask them "So what is your diet like right now?"  I ask my customers this to help them and to also make them think about what they could be doing to improve their weight loss without a pill.  I get some pretty good answers :P  A few customers tell me that they only eat once or twice a day and don't exercise.  I'm not against pills at all, it's just not a magical solution.  I've taken a few myself before...I even have a favorite.  I've had my best results with Hydroxycut Hardcore.  I didn't sit on the couch while I took it though...lol.  I worked out with it and it was great   But that's the thing...a person has to realize that they have to workout with it or improve their diet to see any good results from a product.
