Lose 30 Pounds In 30 Days With a Berry?

Weight loss from a super-fruit? Lose those pesky pounds while you sleep? Burn off stubborn weight and achieve significant weight loss without exercising or repeated dieting? All of the above?

Here are the headlines that claim that you can do all of the above:

“Miracle Berry Leads to Permanent Weight Loss!”

“Lose 30 pounds in 30 days!”

“Lose weight without diet or exercise!”

And my favorite:

“Lose weight while you sleep!”

Even after the Federal Trade Commission fined some companies for claiming that Acai berries were a weight loss aid, they’re one of the biggest selling weight loss supplements. They may have antioxidant properties and probably won’t hurt you, but the clinical trials that some companies bragged about don’t exist and the celebrities whose endorsements they said they had, deny ever endorsing the product. So, why are they still selling, when the scam has been so widely reported online and off-line? I think you know the answer to that, don’t you?

It’s human nature to want to believe that there’s something – some pill or drink or food combination that will “automagically” make us lose weight, while we keep eating and drinking the same things that made us gain weight, meanwhile getting almost no exercise. I made that mistake for over forty years, until a health crisis brought me to my senses. That’s when I realized that there’s no quick fix for years of packing on pounds that have turned to fat from too much time sitting on my fat butt.

I’m stubborn though. Okay, the pills and potions were a no-go, but I still wasn’t going to settle for a starvation diet or strenuous exercise. I knew I wouldn’t stick to either one. So, I figured out the secret to losing weight and keeping it off and it’s really very simple. You don’t have to go to a gym every day. You don’t have to live on low-carb or low-calorie or pre-packaged meals. You don’t even have to buy anything different from the food that’s most likely in your fridge and cupboards now.

All you have to do is think outside the box and make some easy, gradual changes. If you’d like to lose weight and you’re stuck for ideas, I’ll give you two to start with. Find a way to eat the same kinds of fat burning foods, over and over, without eating the same thing over and over. Then, figure out how to exercise without exercising.

That’s all there is to it. I did it and lost 30 pounds in 90 days. From 183 flabby pounds to a much healthier 153 pounds between Halloween and Christmas. What will you weigh this Christmas?
