I was overweight since my pre-teens. Then in my mid-20s I moved from New York to California. Because of the hot weather, you cant get away w/ hiding your flab. Plus I didn't have a car anymore. I began walking everywhere for starters. Then I went to the local clubs everynight dancing. Plus, knowing that I had to fit into a tight outfit at night, I became more self-conscious of the calories i was putting in my body during the day. [u don't have to go to clubs; can socialize elsewhere, even bars or elsewhere, but do something to stay on ur feet]. Then finally my naturally skinny model/dancer friend helped me w/ a simple detoxification called the ‘master cleanse’ which was cheaper than other detoxes. Finally, went from 160 lbs to 105 lbs. [I'm a short female]. I later stopped going to dance clubs & detoxing & maintained the weight by continuing to walk, even for groceries. Also, I avoid frozen, microwaveable, packaged foods (even the ‘healthy’ kinds). I even eat huge deli sandwiches, but from a local organic grocery store that makes them fresh & preservative/hormone-free. And I try to eat them early in the day to burn off better. I never did any exercises and only gained weight when I went to the gym, so stopped. There was also a time where I ate strictly seasoned frozen vegetables which I'd pop in the microwave [only exception I made w/ frozen foods], stayed home sitting on my behind to study for an exam, and couldn't gain weight! Not to mention it was easier for me to mentally absorb & memorize the material. But on days i would eat meat, while sitting & studying, I lacked in concentration & gained weight. Right now I just eat everything fresh & walk. I agree with the “walking” part. I was overweight since my pre-teens. Then in my mid-20s I moved from New York to California.

When it comes to eating, we really do eat too much, especially when bored or inactive. When exercising, you do not feel hungry, some sort of hunters instinct must kick in so that you do not feel the need to stop and eat. Losing weight is staggeringly simple - eat less, exercise more.

I was suprised that it was so simple. It shows that the commonly accepted principles for weight loss are garbage. It's about the type of food, not the amount of food. Walking isn't just about the calories. It's also about reducing stress, which causes false cravings, and reducing the opportunities for a snack. Good work about the diet.

Kingdom Season 3 Episode 5 and 6 (at least) had emergency changes made about him being fat and diabetic and this and that. Johnny Vegas - weight loss, just keep going and people KNOWN to us for being fat in the media - perhaps because they are fat - are all getting fit now in a matter of a few weeks. Just healthy eating it seems. I am sure they have all been eating fish, I can smell it. My God can I smell it...and it is not fresh. I wonder if it is time for the war on fat folk to begin? They use up all that energy and produce all that carbon in their farts. They are clearly planet killers. Soylent Green anyone?

I must invest in an ipod and get losing 6st myself. Thank you for this basic instruction.
