    Maybe the BEST way. But the fastest way is just cutting off your arm. The one you use least, preferably.

    I smell self-promotion...

    I don't know why some people have to post negative stuff. No one HAS to post. If you don't agree, disagree nicely. Or else you can always keep it to yourself.

    Niner, your advice is magical!

    Yesterday I was at my local grocery store buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

    What did she think I had, an elephant?

    So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog,

    I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

    I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry.

    The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again.

    (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

    Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me.

    I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's *kitten* and a car hit us both.

    I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

    That grocery store won't let me shop there anymore.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Great post and SO TRUE.

    It really is simple but not easy. Once my coworkers began noticing my weight loss, lots of them have gotten inspired to try. Unfortunately, eyes glaze over when they ask my 'secret' (I say, "I keep a food diary to stay within my calorie goals and I exercise. The end.").

    Several are heading down the Dr. Oz road (the many, many Dr. Oz roads), several are on diet pills, one did the Special K diet, stuck with it 2.5 days and said 'screw it, I quit, I LIKE BEING FAT,' a couple are, I think, starving themselves. Sigh. It was awesome when 2 people just this week told me they joined MFP! Yay!
    Most don't want to follow the logical way. That'd be too hard.

    2. Do some physical activity that you can sustain for life.
    This is the hardest part for me. Unless naps count.

    I love this! It's common sense, really, but people want to find the quickest way possible. Such a shame!

    Common sense is too easy and it's possible that people might be thinking that this is too good to be true, so it's not.:laugh:

    1. Eat in a way that you can do daily (who cares if it's paleo, vegan, moderate, etc.), but ensuring you get in your daily macro/micro nutrients with a sustainable and reasonable calorie deficit.

    2. Do some physical activity that you can sustain for life.

    3. Be CONSISTENT.

    4. Consider paying me lots of money to kick your *kitten* if you can't follow above.

    THE END

    But...but....KETONES!!

    Seriously, this is fantastic advice. I have tried losing weight before but I never thought of it as a lifestyle change, and I always ate too few calories while working out harder than I could handle. Warning: burn out imminent. Now that I'm keeping up with these forums and reading a lot about how to do this RIGHT, I know that your advice is the best that a noob could ever get. It really is that simple.
