Weighted Vests - C'mon!

I try not to watch or listen to any of those infomercials on TV about different fitness products. They drive me bananas. No matter the product, the concept is basically the same - "use this product and it will be easier for you to lose weight, lose fat, gain muscle, etc." Guess what, eating right and working hard in the gym is the beginning and the end of achieving goals - there is no easier way! Stop trying to find it and stop wasting your money on it! The commercials say all the things that you want to hear. If what was said were true, there would only be one product out there, and everyone would use it and everyone would be in amazing shape. The fact that 2 out 3 Americans are overweight is proof that this is not the case. Get this - on a commercial for a weighted vest the host said that "the vest tricks your body into burning more calories because you weigh more." OK, wearing the vest will make you burn more calories per mile walked, but not because it tricked your body into anything. Could it be the simple fact that you have 25lbs on your shoulders? You're doing more work, bottom line. "Tricking your body" sounds more appealing and desirable though, and will most likely sell more vests. I have absolutely nothing against the weighted vest, but I do have a problem with how they are selling it.
