Get In Great Shape - What It Really Takes!
Commercials bombard you with promises you can easily get in great shape. Supposedly those beautiful people used an ab machine for 10 minutes, three times a week and now, they look fabulous. Or, skimming past the checkout line, you notice magazine headlines: Eat what you love and lose. Walk your way to a trim you. Or, lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
It is time to be logical and realistic with yourself. How many thousands of meals did it take you to put on all those unwanted pounds? It took years of poor nutrition and exercise habits to get out of shape. The weight will not suddenly come off with some hyped-up product or 10 minutes of exercise!
Stop looking for weight loss shortcuts. Accept that getting in shape requires effort and knowledge.
The solution to achieving a fabulous physique requires excellent diet and physical activity lifestyle habits. Do not waste one more moment looking into those appealing diet pills, tummy crunchers, meal replacement bars, or fat burners.
There is a lot of bogus information. For example, it absolutely does not work to overeat every single weekend. You spend all week just burning off your weekend calories. Many people at the health club workout religiously yet they never lose weight simply because they overeat every single weekend.
You may falsely believe you can eat whatever you want because you exercise. That is wishful thinking. Working out is not enough to lose those unwanted pounds.
Weight loss requires a caloric deficit. Even if you exercise, you still need to count how many calories you consume daily. Is this popular advice? No! But, do you want popular advice or effective advice?
After two kids, at 42 years old, NO liposuction, NO gastric bypass surgery, just good old fashioned hard work and good nutrition, I'm fit. Try doing what is proven to be successful.
Getting in great shape requires knowledge, physical activity, plus good eating habits. Once you get the weight off, you need to continue your high level of physical activity plus eat well for the rest of your life.
Decide that you are seriously ready to work at weight loss. You are tired of being fat, depressed, discouraged, angry, and letting food and laziness control your entire life. Spend some time reading the articles on my website, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com/.
Learn from someone who understands the diet lies. When I believed the weight loss lies, I lost NO weight!
When you are seriously ready to change, get my book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight. What are you waiting for? Fitness IS within your grasp. Take that first step!

3 Foods to Banish for Rapid Weight Loss
Drop these high calorie, nutrient poor foods and you are guaranteed to lose weight.
Banish sugary refined carbs. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the natural sugars found in juicy watermelon, pineapple, mangoes, berries, and other fresh fruit. Snack on dried fruit like apricots or enjoy a baked cinnamon apple.
Banish deep-fried foods. Fried foods rapidly pack on the pounds. Satisfy your cravings for crunchiness by baking seasoned sliced potatoes, dipping crunchy vegetables (carrots, jicama, cauliflower) in fat-free dip, or having one serving of baked chips.
Banish white flour products. White flour products contain virtually no fiber or nutrients, quickly digest and store as fat. Because white flour contains little or no fiber, you will not feel satisfied for long so you will keep eating. Buy whole grain products, fruits and vegetables which are high fiber and nutrient-packed. You will feel satisfied longer, plus consume fewer calories.
For steady, rapid weight loss, eliminate sugary refined carbs, deep-fried foods, and white flour products. These foods lead to Obese City.
Your health matters. Treat your body with respect. If you got a new Lexus, would you put in the cheapest, low quality gasoline you could buy? Or, would you treat your expensive car well? Think about this: you are much more important than a car! Make wise decisions at every meal. That is how you will get in shape quickly!

To Lose Weight Quickly, Cut Your Eating in Half!
How many years have you spent looking for just the right diet book or exercise plan? How many times have you believed the lie that you just need to cut carbs or eat just the right foods and you will lose weight?
Weight loss is simple. To lose weight you must eat a lot less than you are currently eating.
I recently met a 62 year old woman who lost 70 pounds. Naturally, I asked her what she had done. She made one major change that was very, very easy to implement. She worked out and cut her eating in half.
This is easy to do. Whenever you eat out, restaurants serve at least twice as many calories as you need. Ask for half your meal to go in advance.
When you are preparing a sandwich, cut it in half, wrap it, and put half in the fridge. Think about the typical amount of food you would put on your plate, then serve yourself half that amount.
If you usually drink two glasses of wine, drink one, or switch to water or a diet soda.
To lose weight, you need to create a caloric deficit. This means your body needs to burn more calories than you take in daily. Many of you eat considerably more than you realize. To lose weight, you need to know exactly how many calories you eat daily.
Get a notebook and calorie counter book. Track your calories. Do not lie to yourself and pretend that you never overeat. Of course you do! That is why you are reading this blog. You are tired of being fat (just as I was) and you are ready to change.
The average woman will lose weight by eating 1,200-1,500 calories daily. The average man will lose weight by eating 1,800-2,100 calories daily.
Once you track your calories for a week, you will quickly find that you have been eating approximately double what you need to lose weight.
Tracking your calories may not be what you want to hear BUT IT WORKS! I have kept my weight off since March 1987. I know what works! In a future blog post, I will add some of my chubby pictures.
Get started on your fitness goal today. Get a notebook. Track your calories and cut your eating in half. Please email me at laurie@losethelieslosetheweight.com. I will look forward to hearing of your progress and providing fitness support.
