The Medically-Backed, One-Step Process to Losing Weight
How about a little Food for Thought...
Today I received some really great news from a medical doctor (not one of those posers on t.v. in a white lab coat telling us we never have to exercise again, no!) - a real, bona fide, certified, and qualified DOCTOR...satisfied?
I asked him, "Doc, is there ANY possible way...I mean ANY whatsoever...that someone can burn 2,000 calories in a day and only eat 1,500 calories that day and still NOT lose weight?" His answer, "No way, no how, none whatsoever." Okay maybe I added a little drama to the answer, but the bottom line is the answer was a big, fat, "NO."
You see there is this little law when it comes to energy - you can neither create it nor destroy it, you can only transfer it from one form to another. Energy comes in two forms - potential (i.e. body fat) and kinetic (i.e. movement).
So follow me....if we have more movement (kinetic energy) in a day than we have coming in (food), then we have to transfer that energy from somewhere else (our potential energy which is......body fat!).
Yes, unfortunately, it goes the other way too. If you take in more energy (calories) than you burn, you transfer it to potential energy (fat).
So here it is....the medically-backed, one-step process to losing weight:
- STOP........EATING MORE......THAN YOU BURN.....IN ONE DAY.
That's it. One step. Plain and simple. Oh sure, we can come up with tons of excuses of why that might be hard - time, money, convenience, "food addiction", knowledge, circumstance - as stated previously, excuses. Don't be the epitome of "Oh, pity me." Get up and fight for what you want. Decide and take action.
Of course there is always tomorrow, and the day after, and the month after, and the New Year's after, and the next few years after.
Just to be clear, "wanting" and "deciding" are two very different things. Of course you want to look and feel your best. You decide, however, one of two ways - to do something about it or to NOT do something about it. Either way, you decided.
Put up a fight,

P.S. No time? Make more. No money? Save more. Need convenience? Plan more. Food Addiction? Avoid more. No knowledge? Get more. Circumstance? Control more. Put up a fight.
