Pseudoscience is false science, unsubstantiated by facts. The claim is to be the real thing, but in reality, it's manipulative falsehood. Pseudo science manipulates the feeble minded through numerous fallacies and advertising schemes. People likely to fall prey to these lies are Newbies,.... individuals looking for an easy way out and those without a strong foundation in logic and true science.There are a multitude of dangers for individuals who fall prey to pseudo science. If they believe the false lies claimed by these deceivers, they will inevitably fall into a state of discouragement. For instance, hundreds of advertisements make bold claims such as, "I took [insert a supplement] and gained 50 pounds of muscle while losing fat, in 3 months". Or, "After using [insert a weight lifting machine] for 3 months, in combination with a proper diet, I was able to shed 30 pounds of fat, and achieve my goal of competing on stage". "Thank you [insert product's name]". "If I can do it, so can you". Surely the reader is familiar with this unscientific, false advertising. Now, the young weight trainer who falls prey to this may find him or herself, on the verge of quitting, soon after they discover gains will never come this easy. This sport is hard work, and if you are looking to become a pro or even a successful amateur in a short time, you‘re fooling yourself. There  are no easy ways and anyone who thinks otherwise, is in for a big disappointment. Satisfaction comes from long periods of hard work so enjoy the labor.
