There are no magic pills, just hard work and desire along with eating right and counting your calories and macro splits. It takes work but it pays off. Check my profile pictures for proof, if I can do it, anyone can.

Shortcuts don't work, as your parents told you (hopefully) if it's too good to be true, it is. Weight loss surgery fails 90% of the time (after 5+ years) and so do pills, you have to go through a life change to take your life back. You can flounder around with all these pills/fads/diets or just learn to get out there and work out at least 4 times a week and get a good sweat up. Even if you don't lose all the weight you want and don't have a super model physique your heart will be healthier, your blood pressure will get better and your resting heart rate will improve, all factors in great health. My Dr. says I'm 25 physically now and I have a clean bill of health even with my 10 to 20lbs of fat I'm still carrying. I'll never be done working out, it's not a part time/short term hobby it's a lifetime of work so I can have a LONG HEALTHY life.

Here's the bottom line - GET OFF YOUR ASS AND WORKOUT AND EAT GOOD NON-PROCESSED FOOD

Read my blog about the work I had to do, it wasn't easy but it's worth it.
