The BodyBugg Scam
We have all seen weight loss fads come and we have seen weight loss fads go. I have become the most cynical person in the world when it comes to weight loss products and that is why I had approached BodyBugg as nothing but another
weight loss scam and a waste of money. Before we really get into this short essay on why BodyBugg is a scam let me give you some input as to why I consider myself to be a very qualified individual that can tell you all you need to know about why BodyBugg is what it is!I have had my BodyBugg on my arm for about one complete year now and I have paid alot of attention to what it does and it does not do to help me lose weight. My original goal was to lose right under 100 pounds and that has not happened yet. When I first strapped on my BodyBugg I weighed in at a whopping 297 pounds. Foolish me thought that I would lose weight just because I wore the thing on my arm, like on Losing it With Jillian or on The Biggest Loser. At first I thought it emitted some sort of anti-calorie rays that would negate the caloric value of all I ate. Once again, that did not happen.
The BodyBugg did absolutely nothing to help me just lose the weight. Each and everyday I wore the darned thing and would enter all the food I ate onto my BodyBugg website and see the results. Each and everyday I would be able to see how many calories I had eaten and how many calories I had burned. After a short while I started to pay attention to the fact that I was eating alot more calories than I had burned and that the trend was nowhere close to ending. I could see the results of my choices on my computer and my bathroom scale everyday. I would be able to see the days I was active and the days I just sat at my desk. I could see firsthand what it would take to lose the weight.
I received my BodyBugg as part of a review for this website and I had many glowing comments to make because I was finally learning to take ownership of the calories I was eating and the calories that I was burning. I used the BodyBugg for a full 6 months and I soon began to see the results of my efforts. Simply because I had been paying attention to what I was eating and how I was exercising, I was able to drop about 50 pounds. What really started to make me think it was another weight loss scam was the fact that I had to have an active suscription to BodyBugg after the initial 6 months, I just let it go. I thought I no longer needed to use BodyBugg as I now lost 50 pounds and knew what I needed to do.
At first I thought that all BodyBugg did for me was make me aware of the calories I was eating and burning, so when the 6 month initial suscription ended, I threw the BodyBugg in the desk drawer. Afterall it was my actions that made me lose the weight and BodyBugg really had little to nothing to do with that. I had lost the first 50 pounds and since I only had about 47 more to go, I would just save my money and move on with life.
A few months of not using BodyBugg went by and I started to realize that my pants were getting tight. My belt was getting ”shorter” and I started to feel fat again. My wife would rub my belly (lovingly) while we watched television and my vest at work also started to get tight. I came to the realization that I was gaining my weight back again and that I needed to do something, so I looked at BodyBugg once again. This time I decided to order the digital display when I renewed my online membership. I received the BodyBugg Digital display in the mail and once again I was determined to lose the weight.
By this time I really just hoped to get BACK to the weight of 239 pounds, as I expanded to 254 pounds during my non-BodyBugg months. When the digital display arrived in the mail I was fairly impressed with it and started to wear it right away. I soon learned once again that BodyBugg was a scam because that darn thing on my arm did nothing to make the weight fall off. I would sit there and watch
Once again I had to burn those calories to lose the weight. I started to go for long walks again and I started to go to the health club in the morning again and sure enough…the weight started to come off once again. After about two weeks I had given back 7 of those gained pounds and am well on my way to getting rid of the rest as I continue on my march towards 200 pounds. Once again I realize that BodyBugg just sits on my arm and does nothing but record what I am or am not doing. Once again I look at those numbers and think “sh*t!” I have to go for a walk or I have to eat less because the calorie count is not going well for the day. Once again BodyBugg just sits there and bugs the heck out of me by making me realize that I need to do something to make the weight loss happen.
So, in closing I must admit that if you think that BodyBugg is going to CAUSE you to lose weight, you will think it is nothing more than a scam. BodyBugg WILL NOT cause you to lose one pound or one ounce or even cause you to shed one drop of sweat. BodyBugg is not a weight loss tool in the fact that it causes you to lose weight. It is simply a weight loss tool that enables the user to make decisions that will make or break your weight loss. BodyBugg is pure science in the fact that it really never offers an opinion, other than “virtual coaches” on the BodyBugg website. If you are looking to BodyBugg as a way to make the weight come off you too will think it is a scam. If you are looking to BodyBugg as a device that will help you make better choices and motivate you in the right direction, you will be pleasantly surprised.
BodyBuggwill only be a scam to those that do not understand how it works. It is merely a computer that provides you with information that you will either use or ignore. Those choices will add up over time to equal either weight loss or weight gain. The choice will be yours to make and BodyBugg simply presents you with choices that are based in fact.
