I imagine that if anyone were to buy Lisa's book and follow it to the letter, they would lose weight and feel better. But for how long?<br /><br />The key is to change our lives, not our diets. To make an honest commitment to ourselves to feel better, live better, love better. We know what to do: eat right and exercise. We know the forces arrayed against us: our own sloth abetted by interests that want us to sit, watch and buy. <br /><br />My advice? Start easy, and by loving ourselves, not hating who we've become. Find 20 minutes to get outside and take a walk. Set aside a half hour for the gym. Eat some yoghurt and oats in the morning. Get rid of the sugar and the wheat.<br /><br />If we try to make to large a change to quickly, we will fail. The effort involved is too much for most of us. But little steps at a time, all in the same direction, can lead to miraculous results.<br /><br />~Jessica @ jessicalovewrites.comJessica Lovehttp://jessicalovewrites.comnoreply@blogger.com
