If you say anything with confidence, people are more likely to believe your message. Driving back from lunch today, I heard a radio commercial for a weight loss product that said “People have reported losing 11 pounds in the first 7 days!” My first thought was, wow, they’re letting concentration camps advertise on the radio now.
Okay . . . all you have to do is add this product to water and watch the fat burn away.
Now, I don’t claim to be an expert, but this sounds like a recipe for disaster. I’ve lost about 25 pounds since January, 2012. It has been a very slow burn. Two to three pounds a month, and the kicker is, I haven’t made one conscious effort at changing my diet. I’m not suggesting that’s the plan either, but it’s pretty sweet to be able to eat what you want and lose weight. The only catch? Working your ass off in the pool, on the bike, and on the run.
My diet is morphing naturally. I don’t avoid foods because I “should,” I avoid them because I’m more in touch with my body. Slowly, but surely cravings have fallen away. I still get trapped in the time crunch on occasion and swing across the street for a drive thru experience. An example . . . my “lunch” today was at Wendy’s. But I used to do that 2 or 3 times a week. Somehow, some way, it just stopped happening.
But, who am I to know? Maybe there is a much easier solution and dropping “Be Skinny” into your water works.
