The One True Secret of Weight Loss

Are you ready for the one true secret of weight loss? You feel like you've tried all the diet products and every diet program to burn your body fat and yet still haven't cracked the weight control diet code. You've had it up to your top chin with fitness tips and exercise tips and all the health and fitness information that's been flung your way.

Do you want the good news or the bad news? Actually they are both the same and they are in fact, old news. So here is the news.

The news is that if you intend to lose fat and get fit, the secret of successful weight loss has 3 basic parts. You have to

1. Consume less calories and make better food choices

2. Exercise regularly, 6 days out of 7

3. Be patient. You know by now that there is no quick fix.

If you are not prepared to accept these facts, you are going to keep on dreaming, flinging time and money into frustrating sure-fail snake oil, smoke and distortion mirror strategies. I think life's too short to delude yourself and you deserve better.

Let's just do it. Let's burn your body fat and get fit, starting today. You might hate me now, but you'll thank me for it later.

In order to consume less calories and make better food choices, you just have to be informed. Get a decent pocket calorie counter that also tells you the basics about protein, carbs and fats as well as nutritional information on vitamins and minerals. It will set you back pennies and take probably about an hour to read, cover to cover. While you're at it, invest a piddling amount for a diet and exercise diary and write in it every day.

Just by buying these 2 cheap products, you will have increased the likelihood of losing weight and maintaining your goal weight by an exponential figure. You don't have to believe me, this is a fact from health and fitness research scientists the world over.

Get into an exercise routine. Set aside a time that you will find difficult to sabotage and fill it with walking, walking, walking (briskly, mind you - no waddling). Take 45 minutes to 1 hour and learn to enjoy your energetic walk. You will ache like mad for the first few weeks or even months, but that is just your muscles waking up in a bit of a state of pleased shock and surprise that you have actually found some use for them. You will get past the discomfort (pain, if you're a sook) and this habit will be the best fitness strategy you will ever invest in.

You cannot expect a magic fix for the fat you've spent months or even years accumulating. Once you can face this sour little snippet, you will start to lose weight. Yes, it will be slower than you want, but much faster than if you just loll about plumply wishing for it in a vague and negative kind of way.

After 6 weeks of decent diet and regular exercise, you will feel good every day. After 12 weeks, people around you will want to know your weight loss secret. After 6 months, you will never look back. You can thank me for it then.
