Why you can never become a Men's Health model

When I was fat, there was a time in my life when I sifted through magazines like Men's Health and other magazines of the sort. I followed everything the authors explained in their magazines religiously because I believed that if the label was Men's Health it had to be reflective of the concept too.
As time went on I realized that these magazines were motivational to look at and fun to read but the information given in these magazines is absolutely worthless. As a man, myself, I thought these magazines would be as useful as one of those magazines that women read. Frankly, I feel that magazines such as Cosmopolitan and other magazines of the sort are way more informative.
First of all, that guy on the Men's Health magazine has never, will never and can never get the kind of body that the magazine promises you can get in 12 weeks. Putting on muscle can take a lot of time. Go to any fitness trainer and they would tell you that putting on muscle without putting on large amounts of fat is impossible.
I've seen a couple of guys at my gym who have bulked up and it took them at least 8-15 months to get where they are now.
Secondly, most of the so-called fitness models, actors, bodybuilders and athletes that you see on various magazines and in various television shows aren't all natural. While they do work hard on their bodies, quite a few of them have also taken growth hormones and steroids to get bigger than they already are. Some of them may be natural but the natural guys tend to be patient and don't mind having to bulk up over a longer time period.
For those of you who can't accept this revelation (perhaps because your favorite actor's body is probably not as natural as you thought it was), here is an excerpt from The Ultimate Diet (written by Lyle McDonald)- "And don't get me started on the advice given by pro bodybuilders. It shouldn't even be
taken into consideration unless you've got the array of steroids, thyroid medications,
thermogenics and appetite suppressants that they use to get ready for a contest. A current pro
is reported to have said the following about contest dieting "There is no magic diet, buy as many
drugs as you can afford and starve yourself for as long as you can stand it."
Everyone is different from one another. So, a conversation with anyone regarding what you should do in order to gain, lose or maintain weight may not be as fruitful as you thought it would be. Sad, but true.

The typical complaint- "But I don't eat junk food anymore and I go on a jog every morning for....like....an hour!"

Hi (interested) readers,

I will be posting here more frequently now.

I've spent the last year learning a lot about my body and so, I decided to take some time off of blogging. However, as I lost weight and discovered newer, better and more effective methods of weight loss, the only thing people seem to be successful at losing is their mind due to their inability to lose weight.
The most common complaints are as follows:

"But I've completely stopped eating junk food"
"I jog for HOURS on the treadmill or out in the open"
"I haven't lost any weight on the scale! WHY?"
"I've lost hope- I walk for-like- hours and I'm still exactly where I stood a few months ago"

Though I can sympathize with such people, they need to understand this: THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR BODIES BECAUSE LOSING WEIGHT IS NOT ALL ABOUT EXERCISE AND DIETS. IT IS A COMMITMENT. 
So, apart from sounding like the Hilton sisters every time they say "like" they have't really achieved much because they know practically nothing about their bodies, diets or about exercising.

Most people in Pakistan tend to think that by ditching junk food, carbs and fizzy drinks they will lose weight- something that morning shows (with people wearing clothes that make me believe that aspirin was made solely for those of us who cannot stand talk show hosts on various channels here) have been preaching for years.
While it's true that ditching such foods will help you lose weight, there's a lot more you need to do if you want to lose weight. Also, there are days when I gorge down 2 bottles of Sprite, 7 UP and junk foods but I know how to utilize what I  eat so that I can continue losing weight despite my temporary break from my diet.
Generally, people in Pakistan do not.
1. The foods that we eat here are made in so much oil that even the smallest amount of oil can do much more damage than good.
2. Not many people here know how to exercise and to push their bodies. I've literally only come across 5 people who actually know what they are doing.
3. Jogging like crazy won't do you any good. In fact you can be prepared to see those tires on your stomach grow because, again, you're hurting your body more than you know by jogging for that long. I'd know because I've been down this road myself in the past.
4. If you want to "take aff thess shurt" and look good without clothes on, you have to do a lot more than what you already think is good enough for your body.

You're more than welcome to contact me on my email address if you want help (hmraja89@gmail.com) but I will be elaborating on this in another post very soon.
