5 Common Sense Steps for Easy Weight Loss

Today on RealLife Radio we had a great conversation about weight and the current crisis surrounding Teen Obesity. More teens are opting for Lap Band Surgery to help solve their weight problem. Is Lap Band the answer for teen’s across America and beyond? That’s our question and we want your response.

During our show, Morgan Lawrence, gave his 5 Simple Steps for weight loss and we have his permission to share them here. Strangely, one of the things {and we mention this a lot on RealLife Radio} missing when it comes to weight loss and weight issues is common sense {now I know I’m in trouble for saying that}. It’s true, medical weight issues aside, there is some simple common sense stuff that will help ALL OF US.

Dr. Oz has recently issued a ‘Just 10′ challenge and it’s a simple challenge for all of us to loose just 10lbs. I for one and going to join Dr. Oz and any other willing parties, I’m going to put Morgan’s 5 Steps in place, add some more exercise and see what happens.

5 Common Sense Steps for Easy Weight Loss

1). DO NOT eat anything you can get from a Drive Thru window
2). DO NOT eat anything you can order by phone
3). When you eat, it’s lean meat and vegetables
4). Replace any soda with water of 100% natural fruit juice
5). Eat NOTHING after 6pm except water and maybe {if you need it during a movie} some PLAIN Popcorn
Bonus Point:
6). Increase your physical activity by 20mins/day
Note: we are not doctors, we are simply people who have an ‘idea’ about what works and what doesn’t.

So friends, let’s try this and see what the result is. I know I’m going to struggle with #3 because already tonight we are having chicken curry, lentil curry and rice. I guess I’ll go easy on the rice.

Tune into RealLife Radio this Thursday {September 23rd} as we talk to Joel Sopp about growing up as an overweight teen and finally making the decision to have weight loss surgery. Very interesting story.

Enjoy
