RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

The majority of the health & fitness industry is just out to get our $. DVDs, magazines, "weight loss" supplements, and the new trend of celebs like Kim K. and Snooki are all trying to profit off of people's desires to look & feel better. Especially with these "weight loss" pills which are nothing more than caffeine pills; taking them can cause serious side effects like irregular heart beat, liver/kidney damage, weak bones because caffeine pulls calcium out of our bones, etc. Quick fixes are just that quick fixes, that will just lead to gaining the weight back plus some. There is NO substitute for being active & eating healthy every day.
