It’s Actually Simple
Last week, ABC Nightly News did a story on how tens of thousands of lives could be saved each year with just a few simple steps. For example, if people who run a high risk of heart disease take a daily aspirin, that would save 45,000 lives. If more doctors would help their patients stop smoking, another 42,000 lives would be spared. Colonoscopies would save 14,000 more people. Flu shots another 12,000 people. Just these simple steps alone could save 113,000 people each year.
This simple-step philosophy is what I've been saying for this past year. It only takes a few simple lifestyle changes to lose weight. It doesn't have to be a major production. Eat what you want and just cut back on portion sizes. Get more exercise. Accept your body's real shape instead of trying to make it into someone else. These are actually very simple concepts. You don't need books, special diet plans, or expensive exercise equipment. Let's Get Real is the epitome of simplicity.
The hard part is making these changes in your mind and habits, and fitting these lifestyle changes into everyday life. That is what I've struggled with for the past year, but lately I feel like I'm finally getting it.
