Hello again:
Have you ever dieted? Do you know anyone who has? If you are over 5 years old, odds are you do know someone who has tried some fad diet. What happens? Someone hears about a diet that can work miracles and you can eat as much as you care to, not exercise and still lose 10 pounds a week! Sound to good to be true? IT IS! Stop believing this nonsense. You see, the old adage, if it sounds to good to be true, it is! works here.
Someone you know or maybe you have fallen for this scam. Here is what happens. The person starts the diet and follows through and loses some weight. For arguments sake, let's say they lose 30 pounds during the course of the diet. Pretty impressive! But then what occurs? They stop and gain back 40, 50 or more pounds! The end is worse than the beginning.
Eventually, they hear of another 'MIRACLE" diet and they fall for it. Guess what happens? If you said the same thing or worse, I want you to take your right hand and stretch it out. Turn your palm up to the sky. Bend your elbow and pat your self on the back as you just moved to the front of the common sense classroom! You are my star pupil.
How does one lose weight for real and keep it off? Repeat after me, Life changing habits! Does that sound simple? It does! However, it is tougher than it sounds. Here is the secret to losing weight and keeping it off. Eat less and exercise more until you die! There it is. You MUST change your habits. Instead of eating a half pound slice of cake, take 1/16th of a pound! The secret is, do not cut out the things you love! If you do that, you torture yourself and are guaranteed to fall off the diet and balloon up. Simply eat as you always have, but in smaller portions and exercise by walking, riding a bike or whatever you can do. Start slow and build up. It will take years to lose the weight, but you will. Look at your fat self today and ask, have I always looked like this? NO! You took years to get that fat. Why do you think it takes far less to take it off? Stop being stupid and stop being a fool for these ripoff diet plans and change your life and you will be smart and skinny and more importantly, you will have common sense and wisdom that you can spread around.
If you enjoy this blog/podcast then tell everyone you know about it. If you don't like it, tell them to listen anyway and see if they like it! Not everyone is as hateful as you are! ;-> Take care and remember to stop dieting today!

This is a very true synopsis of how to lose weight. It is a hard thing to do but it can be done. I know - I've been there, done that. Once you start, never go back (i.e., don't change your eating habits when you go on vacation or when goodies are brought to the office or your house). Getting off track is easy - it's getting back on that's hard.
Yea, we've all been there a time or three! I agree with you 100% on this, I know you're not a big fan of Dr. Phil but this is what he agrees with also, he has a book called The Ultimate Weight Solution, its a very good book.
