The Minefield That Is Online Weight Loss

Weight Loss Online is a minefield for anyone serious about
weight loss. There are snake oil salesmen, peddlers of
poor quality products, and of course those people out to
make a quick buck from a desperate dieter.

What many of these online weight loss "experts" rely on is
the fact that 95% of dieters will buy a diet program, open
the front cover, see it's BIG and involves work and then
give up. Really, how many diet books, exercise video's and
pieces of exercise equipment do you have around your house
... and how many of those have you actually used (and used
consistently).

There are a lot of online weight loss programs all
promising instant weight loss, rapid weight loss and lots
of other wild claims.

I can highly recommend choosing an online weight loss
program because there are some great ones out there. When
you are choosing your weight loss program, bear in mind a
few things.

What is the guarantee of the program you are looking at?
Do they offer you a 5, 7, 14, 30 day guarantee or longer?
The longer the guarantee the more chance you have to test
the program thoroughly to make sure it works. However,
check the fine print of the guarantee. Some of these
programs have a lot of weasel clauses in them designed to
make it difficult for you to return the product and get
your money back. Look for a guarantee that is completely
unconditional and you know you are safe.

If the program is purchased through Clickbank or Paypal
then you know you are safe because Clickbank has an 8 week
money back guarantee which it forces all merchants to
comply with. In fact, you can contact Clickbank direct for
your refund without involving the merchant. Paypal is also
very protective of its customers, and whilst it doesn't
force a guarantee on its merchants, it will investigate
claims about products not being as described.

EBay is another source of diet and weight loss programs.
However, this is an even bigger minefield. Whilst eBay is
an excellent marketplace, it is unfortunately frequented by
scammers and conmen selling pirated and illegal products,
particularly if you are buying supplements or physical
programs. Always check out a sellers feedback and make
sure there is a lot of positives there - and check what
they are for! A lot of sellers will buy 1c or $1 auctions
to get lots of positive feedback in order to lool better as
a seller. Make sure the positive feedback is for the
product you are buying.

Check how long they have been on eBay too. If they are a
new seller then there is more of a chance of them not being
100% honest. However, if they have been there for years
and have lots of positive feedback then you know they are
much more likely to be honest. Ebay is a fantastic
marketplace, but just like a real marketplace, you, as the
buyer, need to have your wits about you.

There are some excellent online weight loss programs that
come highly recommended, so be diligent in your selection
of one and you can find yourself getting rid of that weight
and being your ideal weight.
