Loosing Weight: Could it Really Be This Easy?

Millions and millions of people struggle with weight in their lifetimes. There are so many over weight people, that the diet industry has turned into, well, an industry. All night we are bombarded with infomercials for the newest weight loss pill, or simple exercise product. All these flashy gimmicks offer the weight loss that everyone craves, with little to no effort. I think its pretty common knowledge that most of these things don't work, but the other side of the spectrum is the difficult to follow, although effective diets and work out plans. Some of these are so complex that people get frustrated and confused and turn to Krispy Kreme to comfort them.

So I asked myself, does it have to be so complicated? The answer is no. After consulting several in shape colleagues, and even some armature body builders, I started to get a feel for what it takes, and decided to try it out on myself.

I'm a big guy, I'm about 6' 3" and at my biggest, I weighted 295lbs. Those are the stats of an NFL linebacker, my problem was I was as weak as a tin can. When I noticed negative health effects, and I'm only 25, I decided that I needed to do something, so I started researching. I read about the fad diets, pills, and shiny gadgets that promise a thinner healthier me or my $39.95 back. My research all pointed to a simpler solution, so I decided to try it out.

The ratio is simple. You need to burn more calories then you take in. That it. Thats the key to weight loss. No pills, no crazy machines, no complex diets, just calorie count. I have to say that there is a caveat. Controlling things like fat content, and other things can give you more effective results. Also there are some supplements that can add to the efficiency. For me, I just wanted to loose some weight, and get in better shape. Body builders need to focus more then that, but for the average user, calorie count and simple exercise is all it takes.
