…or, as we like to call them, laxatives with a twist!

Diet pills marketed as “blocking carbs” or “stopping fat consumption” should always be treated as suspect. As nutritionists, doctors, and healthy dieters everywhere know: there’s no miracle pill for losing weight effectively. These pills are basically speedier, flounced-up laxatives: they flush everything out of the system, all right; unfortunately, that includes all of the nutritional content of the food as well! Rather than acting as “blockers” of anything, they simply whisk “bad” foods through the digestive system really quickly, which makes them awesome laxatives. And terrible “diet pills”. (Lest we forget, tapeworms were once sold to desperate dieters too…as “diet pills”.)

The good news is: there is a solution to dieting woes. Are you ready? Eat well, snack modestly, and exercise more. Sorry, it isn’t anything new, but it sure beats the scams that are out there, in effectiveness and satisfaction. After all, a diet should simply be a healthy plan to lose weight by taking in fewer calories and burning more. The best diets benefit from a healthy snack plan as well, to help curb cravings and fight off the munchies between full meals. Glenny’s offers a wide variety of snacking options that have worked wonders for dieters over the years, like astounding 100 Calorie Brownies (or, “who knew you could pack so much flavor into one hundred calories?”) and “Better than potato chips!” Low Fat Soy Crisps. Happy Snacking!
