I would recommend a little bit of Stevia instead of splenda for sweetener. Awesome information — thanks for sharing!

This is a sound plan…not some commercial ad fluff. I love videos that show me what to do and a complete meal plan. This stuff works!

Hey Everybody.

Thank you for your comments and questions:

#1. For the first 21 days there IS exercise, it just starts NEXT week. I have found that it is overwhelming to throw all that at someone at the same time. Week #1 is to get your mind and diet together. You WILL make progress. Week #2 you start the workout program.

#2. Greek yogurt has 1/2 the carbs and 2x the protein vs. regular yogurt. Also “regular” yogurt usually has a lot of added sugar. Plus, I think that Greek stuff is better tasting.

Have a great new year. “See” you next week with part II – the workout program.

Oh, and I did videos for all of the exercises, so that should make it easier to follow along. A video is worth 1,000 pics!

Josef,

Thanks so much. Not a hockey fan but I am a fan of living wisely and you provide a lot good information towards achieving that goal!

Altho’ weight loss isn’t a need for me, good nutrition and health are. So I read the first part (without doing the work) and was impressed by Josef’s ability to cut to the core of the matter and his references. I plan to forward this to a couple of people and revisit part one to do the work.

As usual, Josef is on the money with yet another article. A goal that is not time-bound is merely a dream.

So, for the first 21 days there is NO exercise?

Great information here from Mr. Brandenburg. However, information is cheap (free on Primer!) and easy (reading takes little work and is relatively fast). Enacting what he says is hard work. Not only hard work, but repeated hard work that never ends.

Data is not enough to succeed. In order to succeed you must fundamentally alter your lifestlye, and this is never easy. I wish all the New Year Resolutioners the best of luck, but data will not get you there alone.
