Here is a very simple truth. All of us want to look and feel good. At the present, being overweight has

reached epidemic proportions. We as a nation have become obsessed with the idea of losing weight.

Weight loss products are a multi-million dollar business. Each and everyday those of us who are overweight or obese search for the perfect solution to our problem-how to lose those unwanted pounds.

There are diets, books on diets, diet pills, herbal supplements, exercise programs, weight loss programs, prepared foods, diet drinks and the list goes on.

Industry statistics reveal that the average person attempting to lose weight changes weight loss products or programs about every six months. This makes one wonder if anyone is successfully losing weight.

Well, I’m about to reveal to you “The Magic Formula” for losing weight and keeping it off forever. It consists of three steps. When you truly grasp the basic truth of what I disclose to you, you will be that much closer to your goal.

Implement what I tell you and you will never have a weight problem again. Here are the three steps to “The Magic Formula”.

Step 1- This, believe it or not, is the most crucial step. Without this you are fated to have a see-saw experience in your attempts to lose weight.

This is it – Make Up Your Mind!

I see this on just about every weight loss list that has been published. It is common to see this one as setting or writing down your goals. Interestingly, I don’t see weight loss experts giving

the emphasis that this step deserves.

Making up your mind is much more involved than writing your goal down on a piece of paper. It is much more than cutting out pictures of models wearing a swimsuit and putting them on your fridge.

To genuinely make up your mind, to establish a personal

conviction, you must go deep inside, discover that reserve of inner strength and make your number one priority your weight loss program.

When this is done properly, every step that you take will lead you to your goal. Even your missteps. Conversely, not establishing your goal concretely will make your missteps into obstacles that you can not overcome.

Step 2- Change your diet. This is the truth, plain and simple, dieting does not work. In the past if you have tried dieting, you are aware of the yo-yo effect that it causes. You lose weight and gain it back. Then you repeat the process.

One must understand that getting fat does not happen in a vacuum. When you eat commercial food, processed food, food with preservatives and chemicals, you will gain weight and put your health at risk.

Every living creature has a food source that is appropriate for its consumption. For humans, it is whole grains, beans, vegetables, seeds, nuts and fruit.

Here is a simple truth. If you can make these foods the largest percentage of your diet two things will happen. When you use this approach you will lose weight effortlessly. Your health will improve. It is that simple.

Step 3- You probably need more physical activity. Regular exercise accomplishes much more than just burning calories.

Exercise gets our blood moving. It improves our mood and clears our mind. It gives us confidence. In other words, it makes us feel better. Have you ever noticed that it is easier to accomplish our goals when we feel better?

Whenever possible, the best type of exercise is natural. Going for a walk, jogging, riding a bike or swimming. Any activity that you can do daily for between a half hour and an hour will work just fine. Figure out what it is that you enjoy and just do it.

There you have it, “The Magic Formula” for weight loss. Take some time and consider how you can implement these

Many of you may have already heard of the Idiot Proof Diet. It is the same thing as the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet which is extremely popular. What exactly is the Idiot Proof Diet and how did it help me lose 30lbs in 30 days?

Fat Loss 4 Idiots gave the diet the name Idiot Proof Diet because of its simplicity. Although it is a very systematic, straightforward and simple it is very effective. I was turned off to the diet at first because it seemed too simple. I was always looking for something magical. I didn’t think something called the Idiot Proof Diet could help me lose weight properly. I was always trying magic potions or cleanses or complex dieting techniques.

The whole Idiot Proof Diet is based on a concept called calorie shifting.

Over time your body’s metabolism gets programmed and has a sort of memory for the amount and type of food you eat. This is why many of the low carb, fat and calorie diets fall short. Your body becomes accustomed to eating that amount of food or lack of food and adjusts itself and the metabolism slows down.

This is why you may experience excellent results for the first week or two when suddenly out of nowhere the weight loss stops. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It always happened to me.

When you use a calorie shifting diet ( idiot proof diet ) your metabolism is always off balance. It never has a chance to get used to or programmed for the food you eat because you are always changing the amount and combinations of food you eat.

Obviously getting the exact amount of food in the right combinations and portions would be difficult without some guidance. That was what I liked most about the Idiot Proof Diet. The unique menu generation software enabled me to input the foods I liked to eat the most and generated a meal plan for me to follow to the letter.

Before the calorie shifting diet I was eating 2 or 3 meals per day. The idiot proof diet has you eat 4 meals per day with the actual food and amounts constantly changing so you continue to burn fat for a longer period of time.

One other thing I really liked about the idiot proof diet is the amount of weight I was able to lose without exercise. I had hurt my ankle and hadn’t been able to go to the gym or do any running which I normally do. The diet is strictly a weight loss diet. Now obviously throwing in some gym time will only improve your results.

The big claim on the internet right now is the lose 9 lbs every 11 days. While this is possible and it’s about what I did I would say this is the BEST it can get. Most people who have emailed me their results are more in the 5-7 lbs every 11 days.
