There are hundreds of diets and people telling you their method works the best. How do you discern what actually works? Which one do you choose? We’ve seen the pictures of the frumpy housewife turned bikini clad hottie so we know they all work magic right? Well, they must work for someone or they wouldn’t still be out there. What I have learned that not all people need the same thing, and what works for one will not always work for someone else. This is why we have so many choices out there. What we have to keep in mind is the little footnote on those pictures that says “Results not typical”.

I do believe that whatever you choose, be it low carb, low fat, counting points, etc. that the key to effective change is hard work and making healthy choices. Even if you choose not to exercise there is still a lot of hard work involved in making a change and sticking to it. So these two things are a must in any weight loss program.

So don’t jump onto any “Diet” or exercise bandwagon and think this will just happen. If you want it, you must work for it. Just remember if you put in the effort, you can and will see results.
