The Fail-Safe Weight Loss Formula

Yes Virginia, the fail-safe weight loss formula exists.

It’s so simple, we overlook it. Instead, we focus on the latest fad diet or the newest exercise video.

The fail-safe weight loss formula appears in an audio program authored by the self-help guru Brian Tracey. Here’s his version of this formula . . . Eat LESS, Exercise MORE.

Guaranteed Every Time

Disappointed? After all, we are very familiar with this message. But, if we pay attention to our daily habits, this formula will work EVERY TIME. Guaranteed.

How can this formula succeed 100% of the time? It’s simple math. And math always works. ALWAYS.

Okay, so you have a trust issue when it comes to weight loss. Let’s PROVE that it works.

It’s a Numbers Game

Suppose you’ve been gaining about 10 pounds a year for the past 3 years. If your daily caloric requirement is 2000, you have been on average 100 calories over your requirement every day for the past 3 years.

If your goal is to simply reverse the 30-pound weight gain, you need to reduce your daily caloric intake by 200 calories.

Do ONE of the following:

1. Eat 200 calories LESS a day.

2. Burn 200 calories MORE a day.

3. Combine eating less and increasing your activity level for a total of 200 calories, for example, eat 100 less and burn 100 more.

Gradually Lose Those Extra Pounds

You could lose the 30 pounds by changing a few habits. First, eat half the usual muffin a day. Then, climb the stairs in your apartment building every day instead of pushing elevator buttons.

The next month, you could lose the entire muffin and park your car a little further away from the building where you work as well as climbing the stairs.

Over time, you will lose the weight. You have to. It’s in the numbers. And you haven’t starved yourself or gotten into the dreaded “I have to go to the health club” routine.

5 Steps to Weight Loss

If your eyes glaze over when you read numbers, here’s the easy part: all the information you need is online at www.caloriecontrol.org

The steps are as follows:

1. Decide how many pounds you want to lose. EXAMPLE: 20 pounds

2. Decide how long in days you want it to take. Be realistic about the length of time. EXAMPLE: 365 days

3. Multiply the pounds identified in number 1 by 3500. EXAMPLE: 20 pounds X 3500 = 70,000 calories

4. Divide the result in step 3 by the number of days to get the number of daily calories. EXAMPLE: 70,000 calories divided by 365 days = 192 calories per day.

5. Decide if you will eat less, increase your activity level, or both to get to the number in step 4. Use the web site calorie and exercise calculator (www.caloriecontrol.org) to figure out how you can eat less and exercise more.

So, are you going to be fat forever? Or will you use the fail-safe formula: Eat LESS, Exercise MORE.

ALWAYS REMEMBER (and NEVER forget) – Take it one day at a time.

Customer Review: No Fad-Diet
I read everything that is related to healthy weight loss. Out of all books that I've been through, many were not worth the time and I did not finish reading them. There are a few, however, that made a great impact on my lifestyle. These titles are "You the owner's manual", "French Women don't get fat" and especially "Can We Live 150 Year". As I am reading "No Fad Diet" it seems that it does have a good chance of remaining on my bookshelf for a longer period of time.

Weight Loss Surgery: Finding the Thin Person Hiding Inside You, Third Edition

Weight Loss Surgery: Finding the Thin Person Hiding Inside You, Third Edition Weight loss surgery is a life-altering approach to finally free yourself of the obesity that has gripped so many of us for most of our lives. But with the interest in the surgery comes a dizzying variety of questions such as where to begin, what surgery to have, do I qualify, will my insurance pay for the surgery, does it really work, what will my life be like afterwards, and how can I give up my relationship with food? This THIRD EDITION book deals with all of that and much more. You will know what pre-op tests are usually necessary and why, what vitamins to take, the role of water and exercise, the 4 Rules of Success, the Window of Opportunity, what complications may occur, what to take to the hospital, and how to deal with all of the physical and emotional issues that surround this surgery. Also included in this THIRD EDITION is an example of an appeal letter that includes many valuable references to studies that will be of interest to the insurance company that denied you coverage. This edition now includes an informed consent quiz to test your knowledge of the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery.

The book begins by guiding the reader through that big step in deciding to have surgery and then how to choose a surgeon. The author then discusses, in a very straightforward manner, the various operations available along with comparative advantages and disadvantages. This is followed by a very realistic description of what to expect during the hospital stay and during recovery. Some excellent advice is provided to help make the journey as safe and smooth as possible. The section on adjusting to new, healthy eating habits after surgery is full of very useful and practical guides. The book continues with some very practical suggestions on how to cope with and maintain success. Every issue of your life and health through the weight loss surgery journey is explored.

The final chapter written by her husband, Frank, is targeted directly to a patient's family members and "significant others." It poignantly addresses some of the anxieties and concerns held by loved ones who may have strong doubts about weight loss surgery based on ignorance.

This book, written by someone who had the RNY surgery and succeeded, is a "must-have" for anyone considering weight loss surgery to "find the thin person hiding inside you."
