eat fewer calories, and expel more calories. One pound equals 3200 calories. If you eat 100 calories less than you use everyday, you will lose one pound in 32 days. There are no "negative calorie foods" and no special formulas to enhance weight loss.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

Losing weight is all about calories in vs calories out. You must east less calories than you expend to lose weight. I.e: Eat 1500, expend 2000 for a 500 calorie deficit. Over a week 500 x 7 = 3500, which is the equivalent to the loss of 1 pound of fat.
You can achieve this deficit through a combination of diet/exercise.

The best you can do is use common sense, just avoid junk food, eat sensible portioned meals, eat 3 to 5 small fruits a day, eat all the vegetables you can and drink at least 8 glass of water a day...the best exercises you can do to lose weight is walking 30 to 40 minutes a day...trust me a did all these changes and I lost 50 pounds in less than a year...good luck!!!

Exercise is the answer sweety!
You need to do cardio or aerobics 4-6 days a week for 45-60 minutes. You also need to watch what you eat and try to eat more healthy. Watch your portions most of all. Reduce your calorie intake. Stop drinking calories. Switch to diet sodas and drink enough water everyday. Cut down on sweets!!
Start a strenght trainning routine.
If you need support or want me to share what I do feel free to contact me. I've lost 30 lbs in the last six months! I've up my routine over the last 2 months and lost 10 lbs in the month of February!

You need to 'reduce the number of calories you take in' and 'increase the exercise you do' ... and try to keep the number of calories to around 500 less than you 'burn' while you are 'exercising' and doing other things during the day ... that way you'll lose about two pounds a week and will be 'losing weight properly' so that you'll be 'thinner' and 'healthier' in the end, even though it may take 'longer' to lose the weight. Do the 'exercises' so that you are building 'good muscles' and 'reducing fat' and your 'pouchy stomach' should 'get flatter and more fit looking' while you are doing this 'not-diet and exercise' routine. It's called 'living healthy' ...

I applaud you on wanting to become leaner and healthier. But, try this for when the weather is in the teens. Exercise is a natural process that our bodies use to eliminate excess fat. People gain excess weight by either overeating or lack of sufficient exercise. So, on those days, stop and grab your coat and your keys and leave the house. Hurry to do this, but once outside take a leisurely stroll around your block. Then go back home and DON'T SIT DOWN, but do some house cleaning. Continue doing this 1 block jaunt for 1 week. Next week walk 2 blocks at the same leisure pace and go back home and clean some more. By now you should be more intuned to yourself and feeling like you can take on the world. Well, don't. We don't want you to get discouraged and stop walking. Your body will be fine tuning itself as you walk so you may not see immediate results. For your third week take in a block further and go home and do some more cleaning. Do the same for the fourth week as well. Now, here you are at the second month. You should be feeling more energetic. Are you? OK, then let's begin. This time when you go for your walk you will increase it by 2 blocks each week. If you feel pain or are short-winded then stop and go back to your last comfort zone of walking. This is only your body's way of saying that it is not ready for that step so fast. It is not telling you that you can't or never will do it, but just not then. Now go out and buy yourself some good raingear for the days when it is raining cats and dogs. Boots included and cover your nose and mouth as well. Don't let the inclement in the weather get in the way of you having good health. Now that you are walking further you need to go home and start organizing the cabinets and drawers. You are probably one of those people who still watch too much television. If you can't get up the nerve to throw it (idiot box) out, then watch it standing up as you go around and clean house. Oh, and another thing, while you are losing weight your clothes will start to bag and sag. Get rid of them! After all of your hard work you want to flaunt your success. Go out and buy new underwear and outerwear clothing. Don't forget that your feet will have lost weight too, so buy new shoes. Don't overwhelm yourself, though. Buy a piece at a time as you loose weight and get rid of your fat clothes. DO NOT STOP once you are at your ideal weight. Now you have to maintain it, for a lifetime. And always be aware of your surroundings. I can see you now. YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD!
