Free Weight Loss Tip

Here's a free weight loss tip that might come in handy if you work near a vending machine... Don't carry cash and don't store change in your desk.

Two summers ago, I somehow started drinking soda once a week. At first it started out as a way to treat myself on sleepy Friday afternoons.

But it quickly progressed to where I was drinking two or three cans of soda a week. That was a lot for me, considering I almost never drink soda (maybe four cans a year).

My solution: go to work without cash. Then I'd have to ask for money to get a soda. And I never wanted a soda so bad that I would go ask for money. When I was short-changed, laziness triumphed over my desire for something sweet!

Think of it this way. The vending machine is a highway bandit. Every time you walk by, it puts a gun to your head and demands that you give it money in exchange for something (unhealthy) you want.

If you don't have any money, what can the bandit do but put his gun away?

Now you have one of my simplest and most effective weight loss tips. You'll be amazed at how quickly the pounds melt away once you stop eating from vending machines. So get rid of your cash and be free from the power of vending machines forever.

This is great advice. Fortunately, I do not work anywhere near a vending machine!

Calorie cut back does not always works too slowly to be an effective, especially against long-term habits and desire for food. Doctors avoid recommending weight-loss products because of the inherrent dangers of over-stimulation. What over-weight patients need are safe doses of stimulants that go with their calorie-reduction diet. Nothing beats a balanced weight-loss program.
