Have you ever wondered why the latest diet doesn't work for you? Are you angry when the only weight loss you notice is in your wallet?
We've all been there, right?
No matter how much you spend, no matter how hard you try, all you see is your bank balance going down and your weight going up.
What are you doing wrong? What is the secret?
Let's take a look at a high profile (and perpetually slim) Hollywood family for some clues.
Jane Fonda is over 200 years old and she still has the body of a model. Don't you just hate that woman for looking so good at her age? And her brother Peter is just as bad.
OK. Some of it is probably genetic. Old Henry was still a skinnybones right up to his death at the ripe old age of 77. But there must be more to it than that, surely?
Maybe Henry was on the Atkins Diet before it was ever invented. Starring in all those western movies he must have eaten thousands of steaks, and who ever saw a cowboy eating pasta?
Let's talk about a few things we know about Fonda Senior.
• He worked a lot and was fulfilled in his career.
• He spent a lot of time on his farm.
• He walked miles every day.
So how does that help you and me lose weight?
Well, think about all the times you binged on something naughty. Would you have eaten so much if you hadn't been unhappy? If you had been busy and fulfilled those chocolate biscuits would never have come out of the cupboard.
Secondly, what are the two most important things you find on a farm?
Fresh air and fresh food. The natural life.
What's going to keep your weight down – a diet of freshly picked fruit or a bowl of nachos with layers of melted cheese and jalapeno peppers? (Yes, the second one sounds really yummy but we're talking health here).
And finally, how much exercise do you do? Or maybe, seeing as how most people lead a very inactive life these days, we should ask
"Do you do any exercise at all?" (Lifting a beer glass doesn't count as exercise). Not a difficult question but one that most of don't want to answer for fear of incriminating ourselves.
So, in brief, what helped Henry keep in shape was
1. Being happy
2. Eating fresh, natural food
3. Doing exercise
Actually, there's no big secret about this is there?
We know all these things already - it's just that we don't act on them.
Why not?
Well, that's a weight loss secret for another article.
I always think that losing weight is like a social stigma - until you've achieved it. This will help you (Super Weightloss Technique Revealed)
