Are you ready for the weight loss "secret"?

Doesn't everybody love secrets?  And what if there were a weight loss "secret"?


I ran across this interesting article from a Lt. Col. Anthony Bankes 4th Aerospace Medicine Squadron http://www.seymourjohnson.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123301951 published by the US Air Force, explaining the "secret".  It makes for great reading.


A few pertinent truths from the piece:

  • To lose one pound, you need to burn 3500 calories more than you eat
  • It takes work to lose weight
  • It takes time to learn about the calories you eat
  • It takes time to burn them off
  • Approach weight loss and exercises as PRIORITIES

To lose one pound per week (3500 calories) you need to expend 500 calories each day more than you eat for each of the 7 days in the week. 

It is not easy, but we have given many resources, apps, etc in the blog that may help.  If you decide that you will lose weight or want to help someone else lose weight, I hope that they will help.  Imagine what you can do!
