So you wanna lose weight? get rid of that belly pouch or those flabby arms? I'm proud to announce, I've found the secret, & the great news is there is nothing extra to buy. No pills, shakes or wraps. I wish I could give you some super simple formula and a promise that 10 minutes a day 5 days a week will get you ripped, but it's really not that easy, it didn't take you 10 minutes a day 5 days a week to put the weight on, and it won't take that time to take it off. Sure you can spend money for the pills, shakes, and wraps and you may initially lose weight, but unless there is a change in your thinking and your habits you most likely won't see lasting results.
As a former "coach" for a popular shake & fitness company I can say that these shakes, and supplements make great tools, however I also don't believe they are needed- maybe it was this thinking that made it impossiable for me to sell- I just didn't want people to believe they NEEDED a special product to make their health & fitness dreams come true. While I had seen success by using the products, I'd also seen success without them, so I never could really passionatly sell the product as if it was someones last hope for a healthy lifestyle. No need to spend hours at the gym and no buying diet foods! Infact avoid diet foods! You don't need them, they are filled with chemicals, and just taste like crap. Stick to real foods. As a family on a limited budget we can't afford to buy and cook all fresh, organic, non gmo, non nitrate, local farm foods, and I know there are many out there who are the same. We do the best we can with what we can afford. We eat foods that many "dieters" say to afford. Right now there is a juicy rack of dry rub pork ribs sweating it out in a slow roast oven, and they will meet their friends baked potato (with butter and sour cream!) and canned corn to boot. While I try to avoid nitrates, gmos, and chemical laden foods, we do use them on occasion. Our lives are healthier then they used to be, So if you are just starting on your weight loss journey, or just wanting to get healthy, start simple. So many people jump all in thinking they are going to give up soda, sugar, carbs, ect and they wind up failing because it was too much. A 5 minute walk, skipping the 2nd helping of pasta at dinner time, cutting down on the soda, and drinking more water are are easy ways to start a new healthy life without spending any extra money, or having to put forth too much effort.

So true April, with all challenges it is best to start small and do little and often. Breaking habits is harder than making habits, we jump into making new habit with out first breaking old ones. Most people forget to congratulate themselves for stopping bad habit

I totally agree. It applies exactly the same in the Coeliac Disease/gluten-free world. People complain that they can't follow their old eating habits when they have to become gluten-free but those were generally unhealthy anyway. And then they spend loads of money trying to replicate it with safe GF foods, which are very expensive. Really you need very little specialist GF food and a large amount of commitment to change eating habits.
