It amazes me how people want to make weight loss difficult, or complicated. The ones doing that usually want to sell you something very expensive. Weight loss is simple. I didn't say easy. It can be the hardest thing in the world to drop the extra pounds you've spent a lifetime putting on your frame. But the best way to lose weight is, and always has been, to reduce your net caloric intake. The formula is simple. The calories you eat, minus the calories you burn, equals your net caloric intake. If you eat more than you burn, you gain weight. If you eat exactly what you burn, you maintain your weight. If you eat less than you burn, you lose weight. You don't need a $900 exercise machine to figure that out. It might help you burn some calories, but you have to know the formula first, not expect some magic out of the machine. Now you know. I've heard many people say, "But it's not as simple as eating less and moving more! I've been doing that!" Well, not if you're not losing weight. If you can't seem to drop the pounds, you haven't been eating fewer calories than you burn. It really is that simple. You'll find no shortage of people (especially online) who want you to believe you need an exotic diet, or a particular wonder-machine, or a particular trainer. You don't. The best way to lose weight is to get educated first about what weight loss is all about, then start following a simple plan that can put the physiological math in your favor.
