I think fitness (with the exceptions of diseases and/or illnesses, or medications for both) is a lifestyle. Some are blessed with good genetics while others have to work harder at it. Regardless, if you want your internal systems to work and your external systems to reflect the same, exercise is the only way. There are exceptions to the rule where surgery may be needed for relief of pressure on internal and external systems, but you will never develop your internal systems (cardio-vascular, skeleto-muscular) or your external systems (physique) without putting in some hard work and eating discipline. There is no easy way...

Because we all want an "Easy Button" in life. Exercise is time-consuming and hard work that most people view as a burdon, not a blessing. "We" take the path of least resistance and consumerism makes "us" believe that that we can take a pill and everything will be all better.

your right! there is no easy way. We as Americans are getting really lazy. So therefore as an affect from being lazy we are just getting fatter and much more out of shape. Then once we are so overweight we feel louzy. We don't have the energy to exercise, this is where we turn to a pill for a quick fix. You've got to really make your mind up to be healthy and serious about it before you can take that first step. Its a vicious circle. People to start exercising other parts of their body besides their elbow, bending to their mouths!

I agree 100% w/you, unfort. society's way of thinking makes it unacceptable to be overweight so ppl tend to want to lose in the most quickest, easiest way. Unfort. these fads diets or pills that are out there do have side affects and generally are only for losing weight for "now". Alot of ppl believe they'll keep it off once they lose it but doing it in this fashion is really only a "quick fix" as you said. Proper weight loss for maintaining on a long-term basis can really only be achieved w/a lifestyle change, i.e., diet/excercise. No fad diets, no pills will keep you from eating the way you're used to that got you overweight in the 1st place. I personally do not believe in the surgery unless you're extremely obese and it's at the point where it's a life threatening issue for you.
So the we (in general) can blame it on society and the super-model shows that make being thin so important.

Instant gratification!
In this modern world, people want everything at their finger tips. Instant everything - that's why you have microwavable and frozen food and all these fast food restaurant - fast to the ground.
It's hard to do the exercise when you live in a busy world; more so for women. We have double duties, at work and at home. Good discipline and good eating habit are a must if we want to be healthy.

I like the hard way. But the trouble is that exercise is only really enjoyable when you are comfortable in your body and how you look. People want the easy way to get to the shape in which they are comfortable doing the harder option. It is hard to keep yourself motivated and going with exercise when it just feels awful the whole time. I always feel my best running when I feel my most confident in myself and most safe in my body. When I don't feel I like the way I look (Maybe you look the same as yesterday but just feel different)Then exercise turns more into a way of punishing yourself rather than an enjoyment. I like the feeling of working hard but prefer it when it is my choice for a challenge and fun than a pressure because I feel awful.

I agree. & I'm tired of seeing all these questions about losing weight. Most of them only want to do it for appearance, not health, & they don't care that they're screwing up their bodies with these "quick fixes". Unfortunately some of the methods used take a toll on their bodies & later they will have health issues. When you're sickly you don't look so good....so really it's defeating the purpose.

i got here upon the e book to be very informative and ordinary to study. i've got lost 17 pounds in 12 days, i'm basically in touch that i'm dropping too lots weight, too rapidly. i'm going to admit i haven't accompanied the handbook precisely. i'm no longer sticking completely to the indexed ingredients and meal plans (yet frequently) and doing little or no workout, however the burden keeps flying off. It needless to say works and if i could accompanied it precisely i think of it may scare the residing daylights out of me using quantity that i could lose. So thank you back for the records. i haven't offered something like this before because of the fact they're regularly crammed with trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful ask your self. begin in the present day!

I agree with you 100%...see the mentality for the majority is fast food & fast weight loss...
we should also do some research as to what foods to avoid and why?
God gives us guidelines for clean and unclean animals in Leviticus 11. Here is a site that explains.
