for Weight Loss and Long-Term Maintenance
The bottom line to losing weight isn’t really a secret and doesn’t need one to pay fees or buy books. It’s simple and it’s free.
In the past, it was difficult for me to lose weight because I thought there was some secret to it and that I felt it was complicated. I guess I felt that thin people had a special genetic makeup that allowed them to be thin and that the only way I could be thin again was to find a magic solution. I never found that solution. I tried Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers and other diet programs to lose weight and they worked for a while, but I always bounced back to where I started. Diet plans worked temporarily because they changed my lifestyle temporarily. As soon as I reverted to my old lifestyle the weight returned.
I finally came to the realization that I had to make a permanent change. I had to change my beliefs about weight loss and weight maintenance. I had to dump my belief that somehow weight loss was complicated. I had to drop the belief that my weight problem was someone else’s fault. I had to dump my belief in a magic solution that I hadn’t yet discovered.
A weight problem occurs because of the following:
- Not paying attention to how much we are eating
- Planning to exercise and failing to do it…enough
- Denying how heavy we are
I did some research about my problem and implemented this simple plan.
Here are the numbers:
- I am a 37 year old man
- Starting weight 200 lbs
- Goal weight 175 lbs
- Mildly active and likely to remain mildly active
- I burn about 2500 calories per day
- Eating 2000 calories per day resulted in 4-6 lbs lost each month.
- It took about 5 months to lose 25 lbs.
- Now I can eat 2500 calories per day and maintain 175 lbs indefinitely
People created name brand diet plans to trick you into believing that they have some secret formula. For instance, Weight Watchers has their ‘secret’ POINTS formula. We all know now that the largest part of the formula is based on calories.

Just enter your numbers and put the plan into action - It worked for me and it will work for you. Remember I said it was simple, not easy. Sometimes it is hard to change your behavior. But when you begin to believe the solution to your weight problem lies within you and not outside of you, your chances for success increase greatly.
It only requires three things:
- Pay attention to what you are eating
- Believe the solution lies within you
- Commit to long term lifestyle change
Weight loss is that simple. (With the exception of a few rare metabolic conditions)
Remember, if you pick a calorie diet, long-term success requires you to pay attention to what you eat, make sure to get exercise, and understand that to make a change in your weight, you must have a change in your lifestyle.
