For years we've all been tricked into spending our hard-earned money on products that "guarantee" impossible results. For most of us, the struggle to lose weight, stay fit or just maintain the semblance of a healthy lifestyle is a constant battle. Unfortunately, there are people and industries that prey on our vulnerabilities. We are relentlessly enticed by advertising, seduced by marketing gimmicks, prescribed unnecessary drugs, served unhealthy food, sold useless products, misled by government agencies, and, well, left to fend for ourselves as our health deteriorates.

Shockingly, the very industries that promise to improve our health have actually deceived us and are sabotaging our efforts. Fit Advocate and former industry insider Craig Pepin-Donat walked away from a career as a top fitness industry executive to expose the big, fat health and fitness lie and he is here with a message. Stop getting ripped off by diets, gimmicks, fads, books, fitness gurus and billion dollar industries trying to con you out of your money.

From the Author:

"My promise is that within these pages you will find vital information that will save you significant time and money. You will learn how to become a savvy and economical consumer of health and fitness products who is immune to the bogus marketing of those who seek to separate you from your hard-earned money. I will expose the sales and marketing juggernaut and detail how to crack the psychological code for what triggers the buying decision for these products and services. This knowledge will insulate you from their deceptions and lies. More important, each chapter contains a detailed road map for building a solid foundation that will enable you to achieve lasting health and fitness success.

Page by page, you will see that I am not interested in sensationalizing the information and it is not written to make money at the expense of others. It is simply the truth. The truth, however, is not always pretty, especially when it reveals the dirty secrets within these industries.

What I am sharing was as difficult for me to write as it will be for many of you to accept. But accepting the truth is the only path to genuine health and fitness results. This book reveals why most health and fitness products and services will never help you achieve your goals. With this knowledge, you will be better prepared to make decisions that will undoubtedly improve and, hopefully, extend your life."
