The key to all this is that it is a total life style, not just a quickie thing. I once took off over 20 pounds in about two weeks. Now, THAT, could have made me some money if I'd just slurped down a popular weight loss product. But, alas, that wasn't why I took off the weight. It was a by product of something that had nothing to do with weight. Plus, the weight came back over a few months.

My life style was severely compromised by the trauma I suffered a while back. All the fitness metrics suffered. Now, I am getting more fit and all the metrics, from weight, to vital signs, to size of weights in the gym, to how my clothes fit are coming back in line.

We all look to the fast fix. We also like to believe that someone in the food chain is looking out for us. Neither is true. Just like all other creatures we are what we eat. We are as fit as we live. Simple in concept and in fact. Difficult in execution.
