Fitness Gurus Rediscover the Most Powerful "Diet Drug" Ever
By: Bean Jones
Hoping to check out some novels, I stopped by a newly-opened book shop on the way home from the laundromat. Alas, my book shop stop was in vain, as the store only sold fitness books.
I was stunned by the number of titles promising "six-pack abs in six weeks" and "a beach-ready body in seven days." Shortcuts sell big in the fitness industry.
But then do they cut it?
"There are two roads to weight loss: There's the shortcut road which involves things like pills, diets, and infomercial gadgets. Then there's the long road, which usually involves lifestyle changes such as more exercise and less crappy eating. I'm convinced that most people already know the best road to take," states certified personal trainer Paige Waehner, co-author of The Buzz on Exercise & Fitness.
However, weight loss has become a spectator sport--what with people getting agitated whenever a celebrity gains or loses pounds. For some reason, many ordinary folks also want to be the center of attention for weight loss-related reasons. As Waehner explains, "People are still compelled to try shortcuts [because they enjoy the] dramatic results." Certainly, they also get a buzz from the equally dramatic reactions of people around them.
One of the most popular dramatic fitness shortcuts are crash diets, some of which restrict calorie intake to as little as 300 calories a day. According to nutrition writer Geoffrey Cannon, author of Dieting Makes You Fat, this is a big fitness no-no. "Our bodies are hard-wired to respond to [starvation] by retaining body fat rather than burning it off," he states.
Bottom line: the instant results promised by fitness shortcuts like crash diets don't last long. Traci Mann, who led a fitness research conducted at the University of California in Los Angeles, reveals: "The success rate for maintaining weight loss five years after a diet ends is estimated at only five percent. We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more."
Still, despite this data, many people are in awe when a celebrity confesses to eating "only six slices of tomato and four slices of cucumber" for lunch. More often than not, many of us forget to think logically when we are consumed by the obsession to get thin real fast. Would you really expect to look like an athlete in just five days if you've been a couch potato for the past fifteen years?
To help you get on the road to fitness at a safe speed, Simpleology 103 has lessons that will help you adopt healthy eating habits and make wiser food choices. Nowhere does it suggest that you starve yourself in order to shed pounds. Instead, it teaches you how to get the best diet drug of all: patience. It's one surefire fitness supplement that has no harmful side effects.
Ironically, the best way to get fit "fast" is to get fit slow.

I found that when I started using nicotine candy I started losing weight without any change in diet or exercise. I think the constant consumption tricked my body into thinking I was eating.
The secret of losing weight and gain perfect health was disclosed to me by a rather shay, well built and handsome practitioner of chinese medicine, martial arts and fitness instructor named Paul from Melbourne, Australia. The formula is dead simple and amazingly effective, here it is: stop eating and drinking after sunset, and don't eat again till sunrise. It works like magic and you feel terrific after just a few weeks. All you need is persistance, the rest is totally free and simple.
the best way to loose weight is"patience" you are absolutely right. Less fat and carbohydrates, more protein, vegetables and exercise(cycling, walking every day for at least half an hour)..you do not need more..promise! However, you just have to keep that habit and you'll see how the pounds are dropping. The first 8 pounds are easy but then the body changes the habit to take the fat resources. Then you keep going, be patient and you'll see the result is amazing. Good luck!
There is no doubt that diet and exercise works.The thing is it is not rocket science,why then does obesity persist even in the most intelligent and well informed,and also I may add affluent people.Are all fat people created equal.Is it just will power.I guess its sticktoitiveness.
There are a lot of overweight people in this world, who are actually starving. & there are a lot of sick people out there, which is sadly taken to be the "norm" in today's society - (I use to be a Registered Nurse before I (thankfully) got into a variety of Natural Therapies). One needs to get to know themselves & their metabolism. Be honest & pay good attention to what your body is telling you, starting with the subtle hints, before they get big, eg. a shot of pain. Eat wholesome foods. Do your best to stay away from processed foods & foods that are full of artificial chemicals, esp. MSG, sodium, sugars etc. Drink plenty of good water between meals. Create a good lifestyle for yourself. Remember that One person's food, is another person's poison, so eat & drink whatever is going to help your body get healthy & remain healthy. Optimum health is what you want. You reap the rewards.

The most effective diet method is consistency. Consistently cut the 3pm chocolate fix; consistently eat more fresh produce; consistently choose nutrient rich foods, etc etc.
I have a friend who was well over weight and it got to the point where he had to go see a doctor.
The doctor asked him about his eating habits and beleive it or not, it wasn't so much the food, it was the untimely fashion in which he ate.
Because he didn't eat meals on a regualr basis around similar times, the body could never know when to 'expect' the next meal, and hence, it goes into feast and then famine mode, where by it retains as much food and fats as possible every time he ate as a response.
Good Evening, My husband & I are teaching a wellness program, "Weight Loss Challenge" and we are teaching "Teachers" about nutrition, and the necessity to eating right, excerise, this is not something that is going to happen overnight. "patience"
