Chapter 1 Quick Tips


  1. Everyone has a different standard for size, weight, and caloric need.

  2. Everyone has a different ideal of what is a healthy weight and what is a healthy food.

  3. Everyone has a different view in the mirror.

  4. No one sees themselves in the mirror as they actually appear.

  5. Weight loss products are in the market to make money, not help you.

  6. Most people cannot lose weight if they have health problems, yet most prescription medications will make a person gain weight.

  7. It is more efficient for the body to NOT intake the calories than it is for the body to burn the calories.

  8. 3,500 calories equals one pound of body weight.

  9. Fat cells store calories first then later decide if they want to release them.

  10. Fat cells want you to add more than what they burn.

  11. Fat cells are in the business of collecting and storing, therefore it is more effective to not add calories than to burn them.

  12. Not everyone wants to be skinny, because some people are more sane and happier when they are not skinny.

  13. Beautiful comes in all sizes.

  14. Everyone needs every nutrient, so removing fats, carbs and every other nutrient here and there will only make you ill.

  15. Some people can be allergic to nutrients that they need, which requires medical attention.

  16. If you have a blood clot in your viens, your skin will swell up daily, making it impossible to lose weight.

  17. If you have a blood clot, you need medical attention.

  18. It is a myth that a hysterectomy will make you gain weight, or the medication involved.

  19. Exercise will help you sleep better because you are burning up extra energy left over from the day.

  20. Tiredness makes you crave junk food.

  21. A human body is a functioning system that needs constant regulation.

  22. If you intake the same calories every day then your body will store more fat if you reduce those calories.

  23. The best way to lose weight fast is to increase your caloric intake rapidly one day, then decrease it rapidly the next day, and for three days after.

  24. OxyElite Pro works, regardless of your efforts.

  25. You should have a treadmill or bike in front of the TV where you normally would sit and snack.

  26. www.myfitnesspal.com has the best free calorie counter I have found so far, and they have a wonderful app.

  27. Counting calories can only help you if you are honest.

  28. There are many more tips about weight loss available everywhere on the internet, but you must be willing to see them non discriminitavely because everyone is different and has different body rules.
