Two things can be said about weight loss:

a) It's exceedingly simple: just burn more calories than you consume.

b) It's very hard: it takes an enormous amount of discipline and self-control.

Whenever I want to lose weight, I don't change the food that I eat, I simply eat less of what I usually eat, and I exercise more. It works every time.

Notable:

  Tested body composition
  22 nutrition counseling sessions
  Focused on real world application
