I actually had a guy write to me yesterday first to ask how he can lose weight without exercise, then to go on and ask if there was a MEDICINE to help him lose weight since he didn't have time to workout. FOR REAL!!
First of all I am not a proponent of just "losing weight". I try to instill in all of my clients and everyone I meet that it's about being healthy and fit...lifestyle changes not temporary weight loss. Sure, you can lose weight easy enough...go on one of those liquid diets-or better yet...stop ingesting food all together and just drink water...you'll lose weight then! It won't be a healthy weight loss, and you'll be pretty damn hungry-but hey, if that's all you care about...have at it! Of course, as we all know, as soon as you start eating food again, that weight will come back three-fold.
What I told him, and I tell everyone....it takes a combination of consistent, nutritious food in healthy portions and regular exercise whether it's weights, biking, swimming, hiking, a combination of those..whatever; just needs to be regular and you do need to get the heart going. It's not rocket science and it's not THAT hard. I pointed out to the person, who claimed to not have time to exercise, that he could be doing push ups and sit ups right now rather than sitting on face book typing to me.
Do you think he's taking my advice? Any guesses?
Ciao for now!

DAMN! No magic pill??? well my day is ruined... lol
Can't wait to see you on stage in May!!!
You are sure about the magic pill eh??? Damn....
GRRRrr - that makes me cranky too! I actually wrote an article on that called "There is no magic pill" for a magazine/coffee table publication. (I did 12 months of articles). Hope it hit home for someone!
People keep asking how i lost my weight and when i say Eat Less and Move More they just say nope that ain't for me. Makes me sad and then they always ask but surely you took some of those tablets as well :-( There's more of a sense of pride because i did it with blood, sweat and tears, oh and a few brusies.
I spend my working day in and out of health food shops and pharmacies and it still amazes me the number of people that ask that question! Seriously, some people are so damn lazy! And its those people that will never change, cos they will try one miracle pill after the next (probably gaining a few kilos in the meantime), hanging out for the day that one will actually work...That day will NEVER come!
