how to stop being exploited by the endless stream of business that profit from your unhealthy choices.  Look at the ancient Greeks, they didn’t even know what a calorie was, yet they had some of the best bodies in all of history.

They weren’t any smarter than you, they didn’t know any fat burning secrets. The ONLY difference between them and you is they didn’t have people in their face 24/7 trying to sell them junk that made them fat.

When you do nothing more than treat your body the way it was designed and created to be treated, your weight- and many of your health issues- will take care of themselves.

I know this is easier said than done, for over thirty years, I failed miserably at taking care of my most precious asset, my health. [Trust me on this one, you can have every possession and privilege in the universe, and nothing will make you realize how little they mean when your days get down to single digits.]

Keep this thought in the back of your mind: Your future is going to show up much sooner than expected.

And for that reason, I beg you to take care of your most precious asset.

How you look in the mirror is the most insignificant part of life’s journey. [Yes, other people may be attracted to you at first by how you look, but the right ones will stick around because of who you are.]

The truth is, it doesn’t matter how you go about changing the shape of your body. Just like there’s endless ways to get wealthy, there’s endless ways to succeed here as well.

As the 2 out of 3 Americans that are overweight or obese [while spending 50 billion annually on diet products] will attest…

Transforming your body, life, and future can never come from a product you buy. Nor does it matter if you’re old, young, male, female, or nonathletic. Nor is the issue how much time you have in your day, or where or how you live.

It’s in seeing where you are being exploited by those that will stop at nothing to get your money into their bank account- and no longer being beholden to what has power over you. Unless you’re willing to see your unhealthy choices as they are, you will forever be wasting your time.

A diet book, a weight loss program, a workout DVD cannot change you. Yes, these are tools you can use if you choose…

but you have to take action to change you.

When you can choose to make healthy choices on a daily basis, not only will you easily change the shape of your body, you will transform your life and future as well. I repeat, having control over your daily healthy choices is the ONLY way to succeed.

Why? Because the gratification emotions that control you what you eat are incredibly powerful- and when you have the discipline to control them… BIG BONUS… you have to discipline to accomplish ANYTHING.

As I’m fond of pointing out: Only 5% of people can permanently keep weight off, and only 5% are wealthy.

Transforming the shape of your body is nothing more than this: Seeing something that you want, and pressing on until you get it. Which is the same exact skill set it takes to get rich.

Just like it does not matter how you get rich, it does not matter how change your physical self. All that matters is that you see things in your life as the are, and do something about them.

Start each day knowing in advance that people that profit when you make unhealthy choices are in your face relentlessly trying to get you to fail.

And I repeat, they will stop at NOTHING to get your money into their pocket.

The truth is, they’ve gotten so good at what they do, they have deluded many of us into thinking making damaging choices is actually our idea.

You have to develop the courage to tell them NO.

No longer will you control me. No longer will I be beholden to what is only going to drain, damage, or ruin my future.

People that sell diet programs aren’t going to like this, but it doesn’t matter exactly what you eat [natural food just makes losing weight much easier] and it doesn’t matter how you get active [the harder the workout, the better the body]. All that matters is this:

You see your unhealthy choices, and change them to healthy ones.

Which has nothing to do with how old you are, how much weight you have to lose, what your sex is, or where you are in life right now.

But has everything to do with treating your body with integrity.

You only have one body and life, and the hourglass of your life is running out of sand before you eyes.

You can get most everything back in life, except time.

Use your time to transform the future into what you want it to be.

Begin by being TOTALLY honest with your health choices.

When you can control them, instead of the other way around, everything else in life will become amazingly clear and fall into place.

And yes, the best day to get started is today.

Here’s why it’s virtually impossible for anything you buy to work when it comes to changing the shape of your body:

It’s going to be a scam that can’t work in a million years.

It’s going to be a “collective solution” where someone that doesn’t know you, tells you what to eat or how to work out [diet / workout book].

It’s going to be a “tool” that can work temporary because it really does help you create a calorie deficit, but when you take away the tool, you take away the calorie deficit as well [prepackaged meal plan].

Everyone loses weight differently. We all have unique strengths, weaknesses, and hurdles. That’s why no can tell you what do [other than eat right and get some exercise]. You have to discover what works for you.

You’ve likely heard the old adage “The first million is the hardest.” That’s because if you’ve never made money before, you’re in uncharted territory. It takes persistence to discover what’s going to work for you as an individual.

Getting a new body works the exact same way.

What is stopping you from controlling the shape of your body is known only to you, and can be addressed only by you. Just like it will take effort to get things lined up to earn that first million, it’s going to take effort to line things up to lose that first ten pounds.

After you figure out how to do that, then it’s just a question of repeating and refining until it becomes so easy you can lose weight without giving it a second thought.

As great as it sounds to have something do the weight loss work for you [say a diet program where they ship you the food] the only thing that will happen is this:

You will never know how to eat properly on your own.

Again, you are buying a “tool” to create a calorie deficit for you. When you take away the tool, you take away the calorie deficit.

And that is why research PROVES that of all the people that go on commercial weight loss plans [doesn't matter which one] almost 90 PERCENT end up weighing MORE in two years.

[Funny how Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach, Atkins, Nutri Systems, Zone [and so on and so on] never seems to mention that FACT in their advertising.]

I don’t want to discourage you, I just want you to get the truth, because as they say…

The truth will set you free.

And no where else will it set you free more than with the care of your precious health.

Why?

Because the emotions that control what you eat are so powerful and so relentlessly exploited, that you cannot control the shape of your body without having the discipline to control those emotions.

And when you can do that, you can accomplish whatever else you set your mind to.

That’s how changing your body does so much more than change your appearance, it changes your life.

If a middle aged dufus can do this after thirty years of failure, I guarantee, you can do the same thing- faster and easier than me because now you’ll no longer make the stupid mistakes a did. Rather than make the effort and find out what worked for me, I set myself up for failure.

I bought idiotic fitness gadgets and tried equally idiotic diets. Regardless of what I bought, it either didn’t work at all, or only worked temporarily.

It wasn’t until a wake up call at age 49, that I became determined to not only do something about my flabby body, I was determined to do something about my flabby life. I suppose that’s the one good thing about being persistent- if you hang in there long enough, all the pieces will fall into place, and everything will be easy and effortless.

It will work the same way for you. The secret is you have to hang in there until you discover your unique “what works for me.” I know this may sound like work, but it’s actually a shortcut.

It’s trying to buy shortcuts that make success impossible.

If you just take a little more time in the beginning, and line up what foods and activities work for you, it will soon become so easy that you’ll wonder how you took something so simple and made it so complicated.
