How to Start Losing Weight and Keep Losing Weight

I have put off writing a motivation article because of two
reasons: 1) There is a glut of articles out there already; 2) My
philosophy is so simple, I didn’t think it justified an entire
article. I was amazed at the incredible number of articles on
the net and in the news that dealt with motivation to diet and
exercise. Everybody and her cat have written about ways to trick
yourself into exercising or changing your frame of mind, or
making the exercise or diet more enjoyable. I can’t compete with
that sheer volume, but what I can do is make my Best Weight Loss
Program for Men complete by including my tip for motivation to
exercise and diet.

Defy Gravity

Gravity is pulling you into the grave. The heavier you are, the
more pull Death has on you. So try to become Weightless, like
me. I usually phrase my philosophy in a positive way, saying,
“If you lose weight, you will feel better and live longer and be
able to evolve, defy gravity!” But that doesn’t work for most
people. So I have to yell: “Lose weight or die!” Every day you
have to ask yourself if you’re going to contribute to your own
death by overeating and being lazy. Or are you going to do
something to prevent that? I can hear you saying it, and you’re
right: Nobody lives forever. But most men wait until they’ve
been diagnosed with cancer or diabetes to make a positive change
in their lifestyle. When you’re staring at your doctor who tells
you that you may only have 1 year left to live unless you eat
better and start exercising… then you decide that life is
worth extending. I’m terrified of that. You should be too. Why
not make sure that meeting never happens?

If you’ve read my Obesity Statistics article, then you already
know the risks. Every day experts are finding more ways that
being overweight is a hazard to your life…

Here’s the list:

Diabetes (type 2, the preventable kind)

Heart Disease

Several Cancers, including:

bladder

lung

oral cavity

pancreas

stomach

small intestine

larynx

lymphoma

and every man’s favourite: prostate

GERD: gastro-esophogeal reflux disease (chronic heartburn and
acid regurgitation)

The recent discovery of a link to Alzheimer’s disease

It Is Easy to Stay on a Diet

Unless you actually have an Impulse Control Disorder (talk to a
psychiatrist), you CAN stay on a diet. The second you have a
cookie in hand, just think of it as poison. It may not kill you
right away, but it eventually will. Diet or die!

Here’s a diet secret that I normally would never mention: the
diet products you can buy from my online store are pricey. If
you need another form of motivation to stay on a diet, consider
paying for it. If you don’t use the program, you’re wasting the
money you spent to buy it. Use the products, so that you know it
was money well spent. If you’re just buying your groceries like
normal, you might not eat that salad because it’s cheap to throw
it away. If I gave you my products for $1, you might give up on
them in a few days just as easily, and you’d never find out how
great they are if you use them consistently for one month.

Too Fat to Run?

Do you think that your weight is preventing you from exercising?
If you read my article Exercise: Essential carefully, you know
you do not have to start jogging right away. You can start your
exercise regimen by walking for 30 minutes every day. If you
cannot do even that, then it is even more important to start a
diet right away. If you can jog, but feel embarrassed to do it,
because you think people will laugh at you: Get over it.
Exercise or die! Do you know what I think when I see an
overweight person jogging? I think: “Good for him! He’s saving
his life. He’s improving himself.” I also feel a little guilty,
because I end up thinking: “If that big guy is brave enough to
struggle like that, I must be such a wimp to skip a workout.”
Believe me, if anyone snickers at you for exercising, they’re
losers.

It Is Easier to Die

I will not deny that it is easier to die: to lay around, eat
chips and wait for an early death while watching TV. When you
exercise, they call it “working out” because it is work! Staying
on a diet takes some self-discipline, I grant you that as well.
If you have a death-wish, by all means, take the easy path. But
do not try to pretend that having those extra 50 pounds is okay.
You’re just lying to yourself.

It makes me so angry to see overweight people who aren’t doing
anything about it. I am Weightless, and I still exercise and
keep a diet. If I have the motivation just to avoid gaining
weight, how much more reason does the obese man have? Is it
harder? No, it should be easier, because he is the one in real
danger. I am not. I could put on 10 pounds, and my mother would
think I look healthier. But I run. When I do intervals, I
pretend that there’s huge dog chasing me who will kill me if I
can’t outrun it. And I run for my life!

So, that is all the motivation you should need: Diet or Die.
Exercise or Die. Run for Your Life!
