The Truth about Amberen (TM), Menopause, and Belly Fat

I'm going to pull my hair out if I can't start changing what I hear.  I just  can't help but comment on this because I've been hearing about it on TV, on the radio, and in magazines:

WANTED:  Menopausal women who want to lose that stubborn belly fat.


And I read this on the official website for Amberen:

"I lost tons of weight, I'm slim, I feel more feminine, I feel more sexy, I have more energy, and I'm just happy!"

 Amberen hit the market in a big way in 2012.  And their marketing campaign is serious.  They are spending millions of dollars on the fact that women are not happy after menopause.  They are depicting us as unhappy, not "feeling sexy", fat (especially in the belly), tired women.  It makes me sick.  Now, comes along Amberen, a pill that makes you thin again.  Amberen helps get rid of belly fat.  Amberen helps with menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and low libido.  If you're a menopausal woman, you can probably relate.  But, alas!  We finally have a pill to make us happy!  This "magic pill" will melt away belly fat!  It will increase our libido and make us feel happy!  It will give us our femininity and our energy back!  Hallelujah!

So, buy your 30 day risk free trial and you get:
  • 30 day supply of Amberen
  • Weight Loss Guide
  • Amberen Diet Menu
  • Weight Loss Consultations (with expert nurses)
  • (and of course...you may be automatically signed up to receive Amberen at regular intervals on a pre-pay basis...watch out!)
Wait a minute...there's a weight loss guide?  And there's a diet menu?  Holy smokes!  You mean I might actually have to change my lifestyle and change the foods that I eat (and perhaps the quantity as well)?  Yes, that's right!  In order to lose the belly fat, you must take your "magic pill" AND subscribe to a weight loss guide and diet.

Well...should I say it now, or should I say it later?  DUH!!!


Of course you should adhere to weight loss guidelines and a "diet" (which, if you ask me, I'm going to say, just switch to healthier foods and regular exercise).  In fact, you could just read the weight loss guidelines and the diet menu AND NOT TAKE A PILL - AMBEREN - and you would probably still lose weight and most likely the belly fat too.  It's called changing your lifestyle!

You see...what the makers of Amberen have done is one of the oldest tricks in the book.  They have sold you (menopausal women) a "magic pill" that will make you happy, slim and sexy!  And, because it's a "magic pill", not just a program, they can charge you money and make millions of dollars!

Read all their studies and their testimonials and even the ingredients and you won't find anything new.  There have been "remedies" for menopause for years:  drink more water, wear lightweight clothing, decrease intake of caffeine and alcohol, and add a variety of herbal medicinals, some with proven effects.  

In the end, menopause is a state of life.  It is merely the end of our child-bearing years:  part of the cycle of life.  I can't argue that the loss of estrogen can indeed put fat where we don't want it (your belly):  that's documented science.  However, we need to find other ways to be happy instead of focusing on belly fat!  Don't spend your money on a pill that probably won't work without a weight loss guide and new diet.  Instead, accept your body for what it is, it is not your soul, just your body and we love you for who you are. I've barely touched the tip of the iceberg, but I feel that a weight has been lifted off my chest.

If, however, you want to change your lifestyle, you better be prepared to put in some hard work, physically, nutritionally and emotionally.  Shamelessly, I will plug my own "Change Your Lifestyle:  Change Your Weight" program, an 8 week Email/Video program with optional phone coaching that can help you reach the same goal WITHOUT A MAGIC PILL!  You will have to actually put in some work and change your current habits in favor of healthier choices, but the choice is ultimately yours.

A "magic pill", or a lifestyle change.  Live 365fitt!
