The Secret to weight loss

How many times do you see advertised a product, book or some other thing advertised that provides the "secret" to weight loss?

Here is the (not so ) secret: There is NO secret to weight loss!!! It is not rocket science math to figure out that we lose weight when we take in less calories than we burn off. That doesn't sound very secret. There are two ends of this equation and hopefully in your quest to lose weight you are working on both ends of that equation. The proverbial "eat less and exercise more."

Sounds easy but obviously not easy at all. And anything, and i repeat anything that promises to hold some "secret" to weight loss is full of (PG blog here so fill in the blank)

Keep diligent in your efforts to maximize protein and vegetables, minimize those carbs and fruits, keep alcohol to a bare minimum, do not allow snack foods such as peanuts and popcorn to get in and find time to exercise.

There is no secret to this...and beware of spending any money on anything that promises some "secret" shortcut to weight loss.

This is so true. We have become a society of overeaters and overeaters of "fast" food at that. I enjoyed reading your blog.
