Free Weight Loss Programs - The Fact You May Want to Know

Free Weight Loss Programs -  Is it actually free?

You are looking for a free weight loss program on the Internet? Free goods are always appealing but there’s always some catch to it. There are many free weight loss programs being offered on the internet today but if you’re going to go down further you’ll discover that they’re not always as free as it claimed to be.

Most of the free goods, and not only weight loss products, are just free trials used as a teaser to get you hooked on the idea of their program. Well, this depends anyway on how you intend to use the free good. So in the case of weight loss you should know what you’re looking for when seeking free help, otherwise you’ll end up being just temporary free help.

When you’re in doubt of a program claiming to be free the most obvious clue that it’s not actually free is when your credit card information is required, even though they claim and promise by all heavens you won’t be charged for using the site.

Here is one popular gimmick regarding free offers on the internet: another site will be linked on the original site and somewhere in the fine print there will be a disclaimer informing you that if you click the link you are agreeing to the terms and fees of the site. Since they have your credit card on file, you’ll soon start to notice an unexplainable and recurring charge. The charges being made on your credit card won’t stop until you have it taken care of with either your bank or directly with the sneaky website.

Another very popular gimmick that makes use of free trail offers is the “upgrade system”, “one time upgrade”, “upgrade to full access” or something that goes along those lines. For example some sites have weight loss services that are truly free but once you have signed up you’ll see an offer for complete access to their site for some amount of money.

This means that the information you are able to access is impartial or just a part of the complete site. The free part of the site will usually include a list and explanation of exercises as well as some recipes for low fat and low calorie foods. This is designed to lure you into paying the “one time upgrade” in order to have full access of the complete program.

For example they will promise that once you avail of the upgrade membership you will have access for a personal care from a representative who will be able to email or even call you with emotional support. They may even offer personalized meal plans for you and exercise plans that will maximize the effectiveness of your workout.

The Free Trial Weight Loss Programs

Some websites are honest outright. They will let you know from the beginning that the product offered for free is for some period or span of time only. You will have to pay for continued access or use once the trial period is over.

The most obvious way to tell that it will only be free for a trial period is when a “Free trial” is posted somewhere on the website of a free weight loss program. Most of them will ask for credit card information before you can begin the free trial, but charges won’t come until after the trial period is up.

There are sites that offer a money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with their weight loss program. Ironically, it’s usually a very short 30 day money back guarantee which isn’t always enough to show weight loss results as you could easily lose or gain weight due to other factors in your life during that month!
With all these facts about free weight loss programs being offered on the internet, will there be anything to believe to?

Well, there are programs available that actually are looking to make the world a better, healthier place and are not just looking to take your money. These sites generally don’t have a person who will talk to you one on one but they do have communities of people just like you trying to lose weight.

On the internet there are communities of people who usually flock together on a virtual place called forums. Forums are a great way to communicate about weight loss programs and see how other people are doing on the program.

There are actually forum sites that specialize in offering free weight loss programs and tips. Sometimes the sites will have the options to let you customize your own meal plans based off of meals they had already put together. They’ll also send you emails full of healthy tips. Just find the right weight loss forums and when you finally found the one you want, be ready for a thinner and healthier lifestyle.
