-Think beyond the fitness club. Instead of spending over a thousand dollars in a gym membership, join an arboretum, state park or other natural habitat for hiking, cross country skiing and biking. The savings coupled with the sightseeing means effortless weight loss.

-I lost over 75 pounds in seven months time playing around. If you want to lose weight fast. –just go outside to play. Walking, hiking, swimming, biking, playing tennis, tossing the Frisbee®, roller blading, shooting ball, as well as a myriad of other activities represent other forms of exercise.

-I’ve lost over 60 pounds following four basic rules.

1) There are not any excuses for failure to work out a minimum of 20 minutes – 6-days a week.

2) Absolutely no fast food -- whatsoever.

3) Never drink any beverages with sucrose, fructose or any sugary carbonated sodas.

4) Not one ounce, milligram or morsel of trans fat. Within the first month of my weight loss program, I lost 50 percent of my targeted weight as soon as I stopped eating fast food, sugary drinks and trans fat foods.

-All I did to lose 10 pounds was change my eating habits. I started eating more vegetables, added dairy and protein in the way of fish, beans, eggs, reduced-fat cheeses and skim milk. Instead of skipping breakfast and eating the mega lunch, I did a change up. Breakfast became my most important meal of the day. I consumed small 100 calorie snacks throughout the day to maintain my energy and rev up my metabolism. After six o’clock, I stopped accepting dinner engagements.
