What are you willing to do? Depending on how desperate you really are, here is the number one proven method to slim down. I can personally attest that this really works, and it is no miracle pill or magic diet. Heck, it's not even a secret.

Are you ready?

1. Eat less.

2. If you want results faster, add exercise.

3. If you then want to maintain that weight, eat healthy stuff. If you want to indulge every now and then, by all means, do so. In moderation. And then add some more exercise.

If this all sounds familiar, well, it is because we heard this all before. That doesn't make it less of a truth today. Even with all the miracle pills and magic diets that are available, this is still the universal truth. At least if your weight problem is not due to a medical condition that you have no control over.

But if you're like me, and like most every overweight person out there, you'd rather take the shortcut and get it over and done with as fast as possible.

There are millions of products that promise to do the heavy work for you. Some may work to some extent, others not. Most products recommend that in addition to their product you should eat "sensibly" and exercise for it to work. Guess what? If you really, I mean REALLY, desperately want to lose weight you don't need those pills. Just do the "eat sensibly" and the "exercise" part and you'll be fine.

By all means, do get some help. If you are able to read a book do check out my recommended favorites below.

If you're anything like me, you have tried just about every fad diet known to mankind. Some actually worked, but they were just not maintainable in the long run.

As a result, your weight increased beyond what you originally weighed before you started the diet. Think about it, we got FAT from all those diets. Fat and weight loss diets just don't work, period.

Long term weight management is only possible with method #1, eat sensibly and exercise. Not just for a couple of weeks, but forever! Nobody can live happily ever after on a pineapple diet (or chocolate shake diet, melon juice diet, miracle pill diet...)

OK, so you would permanently change your lifestyle to attain a healthier and more attractive body. But it just takes so painfully long to see results and you want that body NOW.

If you could just lose the first 20 or so pounds in a month it would put your mind into fat loss mode much easier. You'd be energized to get those running shoes out of the closet, to show your face in the health club again, and to buy that sexy bathing suit for your next vacation.

Well, here's what worked for me. I had several excuses that kept me from pursuing my weight loss desire all by myself. Joining "slimming clubs" wasn't for me either. Then I discovered the perfect solution to eat healthy, delicious and fat-burning foods without ever having to cook anything myself.

I had my food delivered. It cost me about $10 bucks a day, I didn't need to lift my finger, and it was cheaper than my usual food (did you know that the average adult spends about $16 a day for food?)

It's not something I would do forever, but it's perfect to get those first tough fat pounds melting and my enthusiasm for a healthier lifestyle pumping.

It's not a miracle diet, it's called Medifast. Healthy, nutritious, and incredibly delicious food that gets delivered right to your doorstep. Enough food to keep you eating and munching throughout the day.

The Medifast diet has been clinically proven to be safe and effective


It was such a joy to get compliments again. Everybody noticed, and just the prospect of fitting into my favorite pair of jeans again gave me the boost needed to take charge of my weight and lifestyle.

Don't give up just yet. If you do only one thing for yourself this year, give Medifast a shot. One month is all you need to see visible results. I am sure you will get all the motivation you need to whip your body into the healthy and sexy shape you were meant to have!
