Weight Loss - Before and After Pictures

I hate before and after pictures that all the infomercials (and many websites) always show. They are 90% BS! I will walk you through an example as proof at the end of this article.

You have probably seen the infomercial where the girls get measured and then walk into a changing room to try on an under garment and then come back looking thinner and smoother. When they are measured again they have lost a few inches off their waist. While I am not knocking the product itself, as it does appear to smooth everything out a bit, it is the postures in the before and after pictures you need to look closer at.

Almost all the before and after pictures pushing these products show the same things, a lot of the weight loss shown is actually in the models posture.

Ok, here is your little live demonstration to prove this. After reading through this article, stand up, preferably in front of a mirror, and try it for yourself!

Stand up, but totally relax your shoulders and let them fall forward, like someone with poor posture. Note how far your belly is now sticking out. Now, stand up straight - shoulders back.

You just appeared to have lost several inches off your waist!

Look closely at peoples postures in the before and after pictures before you purchase that next great weight-loss product or exercise program. Also be sure to read the fine print, you will usually notice a statement about a proper diet or similar.
