You'd be forgiven for thinking that there's something wrong with you if you're not on some sort of diet or weight loss plan.
Every time you open a magazine or turn on the TV, it seems as though there's yet another "easy" weight loss method, diet or machine you absolutely must have to get the body and life you want and deserve.
Don't get me wrong, obesity and weight problems are major issues in most Western countries, particularly in the US.
However, if these fad diets, exercise routines and weight loss plans really worked, why does it seem like there's a revolutionary, new and easy one released almost daily? The simple truth is weight loss is big business.
There is a massive industry making obscene amounts of money from people's desires to lose weight and fooling them into believing that it's only going to take 3 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
Don't forget that other 3 of the weight loss industry - the 3 easy payments.
There is one simple and easy weight loss method which has been scientifically endorsed time and again, and I'll tell you exactly what it is for FREE! Are you ready? To easily lose weight, you need to use more calories than you consume.
That's it.
Put your wallet away and let me explain what this means and how you can go about doing it.
Just about everything you eat or drink contains energy in the form of calories.
Calories are essential for your body to function.
The trouble is, with the amount of processed foods commonly found in our diets today, we are actually consuming more calories than we use.
These excess calories are turned into fat and stored by the body for later use.
This storage system is fine if you only eat more calories than you use every now and then.
The problem is that the over-consumption of calories happens far too frequently and piles on the extra weight.
So what do you need to do? You need to eat fewer calories than you use.
Don't freak out, I'm not talking about a strict diet and killing yourself at the gym.
I'm talking about changing what you eat and how you move.
By simply reducing the amount of processed foods in your diet and replacing them with natural alternatives, you're on the road to easy and permanent weight loss.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, a little dairy, whole grains and water every day, will kick start your weight loss without having to starve yourself.
Have a breakfast of whole grain cereal, low-fat milk and fruit to start the day; skinless chicken breast and salad sandwich on whole grain bread for lunch; and grilled fish with steamed vegetables for dinner.
Snack on whole grain crackers and fruit and you'll reduce your hunger and food cravings, have a constantly working metabolism and enough energy to get you through the day.
As well as reducing your calorie intake, you need to exercise to burn up the excess and melt off that fat.
The best way to use up those calories is with a daily walk.
It's gentle and easy and an excellent way to de-stress.
Only half an hour every day, or every other day, will get the weight dropping off you, especially if you also change your diet.
Mix it up with a swim, a gym class or a few minutes skipping, that way you won't get bored and revert back to your old ways.
In a matter of a few weeks, you'll see some great changes in your body, your mood and your outlook on life.
So that's it, eat fewer calories and get moving! You'll soon be back in shape and living the healthy and balanced life you dreamed of.
