It's biochemistry, physics, neuroscience, genetics, and a whole host of bio-science sub-specialities mixed with equal parts voodoo-logic.
Now if I were a thinking man (a little late for me to start now) I might be tempted to lock myself up in a lab somewhere and analyze the bejeebus out of what EXACTLY is the mechanism for weight loss. Instead (and I'll borrow this from a bygone ad for the PacBell Yellow Pages) I let my fingers do the walking and other, more intelligent folks do the heavy thinking and clickity-clack my way through the internet to find out just what I need to know to shed the extra pounds from my aging carcass.
Say what?
#34 - Find Out What Others Are Doing
The blogosphere is a most excellent place to witness what's working and what isn't for people fighting similar battles. I'll be reviewing a few as the days wear on to examine just what can be gleaned.
Please let me know if there is a site out there that you think is a good source for weight loss info- I'd love to take a look at it. I'll start posting links as soon as I get the bugs worked out of my template.
I have to agree with this one as well. There is so much encouragement and support out there as well.
What a great post! Very informative and positive.
