VLCC -You lose money faster than you lose weight


Decisions to lose weight are motivated by a variety of factors, the desire to improve self-image, reduce disease risk, improve overall health, or avoid societal discrimination against overweight people.


Men and women looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight have at one time or another landed up at the health-spas and beauty clinics that promise to do it for you almost magically without making you diet, or exercise. They will also not give you any pills to swallow they claim in the advertisements.


Surprisingly some of the health spas claim that weight loss can be done without dieting or medicines otherwise the money would be refunded.


But a few weeks or months later most of the chubby hopefuls have either come home dispirited and as fat as ever, or have gone to the consumer courts to get help to get their money back.


VLCC, one of the India’s largest fitness, health & beauty brand has been widely acknowledged as the pioneer and the single largest player in the organized with more than hundred centers across fifty cities.


With over million satisfied clients, one of India’s most recognized brands, VLCC also has various brand extensions like the VLCC Institute that offers professional courses in beauty, health and management, VLCC Personal Care range of products, VLCC Workout factory (weight maintenance centre), VLCC Nail Studio and Spa etc.


After reading all these misleading advertisements by VLCC my aunty with a big bag of hopes & money came to Bangalore from Gubbi, a small town near Tumkur to shed few pounds.


My aunt was over weight & a diabetic patient, doctors advised her to loose weight. The first thing I suggested my aunt is, not to believe in these misleading advertisements & artificial methods of losing weight.


Obesity or over-weight problem is very common in India. Because most of us love to eat food packed with calories like ice-creams, burgers, rolls and all sorts of fast foods. Sedentary work plus fast food minus exercise can lead to what else other than building up weight.


Dear aunt you are not the only one who is obese, recently a study conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, reveals that in cities, over 50 per cent of women and 40 per cent of men aged over 35 are overweight.


My aunt’s only question was,are these one million satisfied customers are fools ?


I did my best to explain her, but I was not in an argument mood. I promised to take her VLCC, The Vasanth nagar branch opposite to Mount Carmel college which is near from my home.


Next day as per my promise, I took my aunt to the vlcc, the moment we entered the Vlcc Office, we were received with a warm welcome from the front office staff. My aunt was very happy to see and hear all the good things about loosing weight without exercise & diet.


The staff is well trained to motivate the customers to enroll their lucrative packages. My aunt took the slimming package for ten thousand (includes special discounts with ten session of tummy tucks) The concerned authorities assured my aunt that she will loose ten kgs in two months.


My aunt with lot of hopes went every alternate day (three days in a week) They asked my aunt to buy an oil for Rs. Thousand two hundred and to apply it to the skin at night, which would help to reduce the weight. They were also told to bring in more customers for the firm, to get reduction in the fees.


My aunt was very happy, initially she lost few pounds, But at the end of two months believe me she gained few pounds instead of loosing the weight. The reason of gaining weight, I believe it’s my aunt’s mistake or over confidence, I do not blame VLCC.


The concerned authorities further requested my aunt to take ten more tummy tucks for better results. But this time my aunt knew that I was correct & the Vlcc staff is just behind money.


VLCC has not fulfill there promise which they have committed at the time of joining. The staff is very cunning. The only thing they are interested in is how to take out money from the customers. They do their best to attract customers only till they get the money and the strange part is, as per their policy, you need to pay the complete amount before their treatment starts.


I am sure many of you, like my aunt would have joined the weight loss institutes and would have tried your best to reduce your weight. Please do not believe in loosing weight through Vlcc or any other weight loss institutes.


I am sure You lose money faster than you lose weight


Managing caloric intake is one of the most popular way people attempt to lose or maintain healthy weight.


However Studies show as much as two thirds of the weight lost through dieting is regained within one year, and almost all the weight is regained within five years.


While it's human nature to want quick results, it appears most people take weight loss more seriously. The average reported time on a weight loss regimen is five or six months


Please do not go for short term weight loss techniques. Just Start Brisk walking, cycling, swimming or aerobics should be combined with a few muscle-toning exercises to reduce weight. Exercise not only increases caloric expenditure, it increases feelings of well-being and perceived energy level.
