Re: Best weight loss programs?
For that kind of weight loss (an entire one of me), you're going to have to change your entire lifestyle, literally. After all, it's what got your here in the first place. There's no way to half-*** it. No diet, juicing, cleansing, singing, dancing, chanting or praying BS is going to fix anything. If you drink QUIT. If you smoke, QUIT. If you eat cookies/candies on a regular basis QUIT. There is no other way.
To keep things super simple and avoid as much gimmickry as possible it would be simplest to just go Vegetarian/Vegan ASAP. Not only is it ethically and morally sound, you'll also avoid tons of other unhealthy foods that accompany your favorite "hunk of meat" (e.g. butter, cheese, fatty sauces, etc....). There are tons of books, shows, websites and all the rest to give you good info and get you started. ALL of the world's top CEO's, athletes and health care experts are veggie/vegan anyway. They're too valuable to their company to die of something simple and entirely preventable like donuts induced diabetes. Politics aside, Bill Clinton is the perfect example of the so-called Vegan "CEO diet". Remember when he literally used to stop at McDonalds while jogging? Well, a heart attack or two later and ol' Slick Willie changed his tune real quick and went VEGAN in a heart beat (pun intended). Now he's fit as a fiddle and looking good. Shoot, even Samuel L. Jackson the original Bad MoFo, Jay-Z and Beyonce are Vegan now. There's literally no GOOD reason not to do it. Although, there are many childish and nonsensical ones.
It's also cheaper, cleaner, healthier and better for the environment. No human "needs" meat or dairy products of any kind. Besides, the state of factory farmed meat is beyond vile and appalling in this country. It's so bad, that legislatures all over the country are trying pass so called "Ag Gag" bills that make it illegal to report the crime of animal abuse and torture which takes place continually and they are trying to hide. Then of course there are the "accidental" breeches at the hog farms that allow all the sewage into our local rivers....by accident of course
Oh and then there are the barrels and barrels of oil it takes just to bring one cow to market that someone's kid has to go fight and die for, or the clear cutting for pasture land, or the hormones that make it so "tasty", or the steroids, or the drain on water resources, etc......The list is literally too long to mention.
Having said all that, I can tell you right now you're going to fail because of your attitude: "I hate most all vegetables and don't wanna give up my meat...." then you're going to remain fat and die a young man! It really is that simple. You can't keep smoking and "get in shape" can you? No, of course not. If you truly want to loose the weight, you'll do whatever it takes, no excuses! Discipline, discipline, discipline! Also, guilt works great. The next time you feel the need to whine about how you don't get to eat exactly what you want, exactly how you want, exactly when you want Google "childhood starvation" and take a look at what you find. Then ask yourself if putting one or two pieces of cheese on your burger is a "problem". I'm not trying to be mean, just using a bit of tough love.
It's all in your mind. If you really want it you can do it. If you don't, you won't.
