No Free Lunch

It is a human nature to want to get things done quickly. The
marketing industry is quite aware of this principle, and it
knows exactly how to appeal to your sense of impatience.

-"Get rich quick!"
-"Earn a Bachelor's degree in 2 months!"
-"Drop 30 pounds in 30 days!"

Do these ring a bell?

We all desire instant gratification. There is nothing wrong
with wanting it. In fact, I don't think there is anyone out
there (myself included) who would not want to get rich with
no work, earn a diploma with no studying, or lose weight
with no effort.

But you should know better... "There is no such thing is a
free lunch"!

People who fall for the quick-rich schemes end up wasting
their money - did they really think they can get rich
stuffing envelopes? The mail-order diploma ends up doing
more harm then good on a resume - did people really think
they'd impress a potential employer with a degree from the
"university" that advertizes via junk e-mail?

Same goes for a quick weight loss. There is no shortcut.
There is no miracle potion or magic pill. If there was a
fast and easy way to lose weight, then everybody would be
slim!

You did not gain all this weight overnight, so you can't
expect to lose it fast either. Weight loss takes
commitment, patience and determination. Losing weight in a
healthy way is a gradual process, no more then 1 to 2 lbs a
week. And you can keep this weight off only if you make
permanent changes to your lifestyle.

Whenever people hear that the healthy rate of weight loss is
no more then 1 to 2 pounds a week, they often get really
discouraged. They say they can't wait for so long to lose
weight. They want to get rid of this excess fat NOW!

As a result, these people don't even try to lose weight in a
healthy way, and don't lose weight at all. They can't lose
weight quickly because it simply does not work, and they
don't lose weight slowly because they did not even try.

So they stay overweight after 6 months, a year, and many
more years. During all this time, they could have lost
weight in a healthy way many times over.

Even though 1 to 2 pounds a week seems slow, it really adds
up. Do the math! 2 lbs a week add up to 50 lbs in 6
months. 1 lb a week equals 25 lbs in 6 months. Now think
about how much it adds up to in a year!

If you lose even 1 pound a month, in a year you would be 12
pounds lighter. Wouldn't you rather weigh 12 pounds less
then you do now?

The bottom line is that all this time you are wasting on
chasing the "quick fix", you could be using to lose weight
in a healthy permanent way. "Slow and steady wins the race"
applies perfectly to weight loss.

There is no reason to wait. Get started losing weight the
right way today!
