Hello and Happy Halloween-
This article reviews some of the new diet books out on the market.Â
There are so many out there and so many ways to lose weight, how do you choose?Â
The thing that will get you through will be focus. You need to focus on one way and stick with it. Don’t get distracted by any shiny new objects that will distract you from your goal.Â
I have a problem with this as well. I will be working on a project and then get distracted by something small and I lose my focus and it’s hard to get it back.Â
What I’ve done is make it a habit to work on my project as soon as possible after I wake up. And then once I’ve done it I feel very good about myself.
Try it and see if it works for you.
Make something a habit and it’ll be hard to break.Â
The opposite is true too. If you get good at something you shouldn’t be doing then that’ll be a hard habit to break too. So be careful.

Here’s a way to lose weight that is free to implement, does not require any pills or surgery but it does require work.
No one said healthy weight loss would be easy.
Using visualization techniques to lose weight.
This is a common recommendation in many other areas of your life – such as finding a suitable mate or getting a loan you want or getting a good job.
I’ve used it to help play poker better.
You can read the article for how to do it.
For more information on visualization I highly recommend The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol and Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

Hello-
3 simple steps to losing weight.
Here they are:
1. Strength Training – Nowadays you do not have to live in a gym to
put on functional muscle. Short High Intensity sessions performed once
a week is all that is required to elevate the metabolism for total fat
burning.
2. A Small Decrease in Daily Calories – Diets don’t work
(everybody knows this by now) but by decreasing your daily calories by
a small amount, the weight loss is body fat alone and not lean tissue
and water that is associated with crash diets.
Remember fat accumulates on the body over a long period of time so it must come off slowly.
3.
More Incidental Activity – Instead of driving try walking, walk instead
of taking elevators or escalators; take the stairs and so on. Just keep
moving through out the day.
Visit the site below for more details about each step.

Lose weight and save money at the gas pump
A little belt-tightening could help Americans save on gas.
Americans are spending more money on fuel these days in part because adult men and women on average are at least 24 pounds heavier than their counterparts were in 1960, a study has found.
Today’s automobiles are burning more gasoline to haul that extra weight around — about 1 billion gallons more annually than they would if drivers today weighed the same as drivers did in 1960.
“What we have here is a relationship that exists between the obesity epidemic and fuel consumption,” said Sheldon Jacobson, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a co-author of the study.
“Now, does it mean we should all go out and lose weight?
But it does mean that there is a relationship and we should be aware of it.”
The analysis says nothing about the improvements in fuel economy in vehicles since 1960, Jacobson said.
It looks only at how fuel consumption would be different if drivers weighed less.
The average man today weighs 191 pounds, 25 pounds more than in 1960.
The study will appear in the Engineering Economist, a peer-reviewed journal.
