:FORTY PERCENT OF OBESITY IS GENETIC (BUT STILL RESPONDS TO DIET AND

EXERCISE). WE ARE FAT—AND GETTING FATTER—NOT FROM THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF A “FAT GENE;” BUT BECAUSE WE EAT HUGE PORTIONS, EAT

CALORIE-LADEN FAST FOOD, AND SNAC CONSTANTLY!

THERE IS NO NOWN FOOD THAT MELTS FAT.

THERE ARE NO LOOPHOLES TO LOSING WEIGHT. THE ONLY WAY TO LOSE BODY FAT

IS TO CREATE A CALORIE DEFICIT. THIS CAN BE DONE BY EATING FEWER CALORIES

OR EXERCISING MORE. MOST MEN WILL LOSE WEIGHT ON "#$$ CALORIES A DAY

AND MOST WOMEN WILL LOSE WEIGHT ON "%$$ CALORIES A DAY. START THINING ABOUT AN EATING PLAN INSTEAD OF A DIET.”
