The Big Secret? What You Remove

Michael Marsh, Age 51, Author Of New Body New Life — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:57:45 +0000

Recently I was sitting on the “man bench” outside Victoria’s Secret as my wife was shopping- and a stranger started talking about losing weight. [I'm not sure why this happens so often, maybe because there's not that many thin middle aged people.]

A women hung up her cell phone and said to me “That was my husband, he’s trying to lose weight and just bought three donuts.”

She paused for a moment and said “Have you ever had a weight problem?

I told her when I was in my early twenties, I was “technically” obese, and I struggled to
lose that weight for the next thirty years.

Then she said “What do you do now, exercise all the time?”

I said no, only about 20 minutes a day.

I’ve gotten so used to the blank stare of disbelief when I say that, I have my follow up
answer at the ready.

I said the real secret is to make it simple by removing what’s in the way.

[Let me say right up front, I know it's sounds frustrating to hear transforming your body is
simple, especially when you're getting older, trying to raise a family, pay the bills in this
economy, and not be overwhelmed by all the misleading and conflicting advice out there.

I just want you to know everything is going to come together.

How do I know? Because I've been where you've been. I failed at this over and over for
thirty years- until I took away all the stuff that was supposed to be helping me.]

I went on to tell her it doesn’t matter exactly what you eat or how you work out, any
healthy foods or workouts are fine.

I said what matters is that you remove the barriers others place in the way.

“Losing weight nowadays is like being an alcoholic that works at a bar, success is 99%
mental because what causes failure is in your face constantly.”

Another long stare, she thanked me, and I told her to tell her husband to hang in there with removing the barriers, because it will get easier and the effort it’s going to take in the beginning will be worth it more than he can imagine.

That’s because when you make the effort to remove the processed health foods and junk
foods in the way of simple success, your amazing and resilient body will heal and repair
itself in the background, virtually on auto-pilot.

Then you’ll look and feel so much better, you’ll never want to go back to the “old” you.

See my point? Success here does not come from making your life more complicated by
ADDING things like tracking your BMI, studying nutrition, counting points, calories, or
investing in complicated routines or meal plans.

Success comes when then there’s nothing processed, unhealthy, or complex to take away- i.e. making things simple as possible by removing the biggest barriers first.

And it’s not losing the fat or looking or feeling half your age that transforms you.

It’s the process of removing what’s unhealthy and doesn’t belong- regardless of how deep it has it’s hooks in you.

That’s what gives the vibrant health- and the clarity and freedom to do anything else you
set your mind to.

To your health and success, and may God bless,

Michael
