I see the same question dozens of times every day: "How do I lose weight fast and easy?"
Unless you get liposuction done, you CAN'T lose weight fast and easy. It takes HARD WORK and TIME. People are always looking for some magical shortcut to weight loss, and it doesn't exist! You need to eat healthy and exercise, and you can't just do it for a week and expect to be in perfect shape. You need to change your entire lifestyle and stick to your exercise and diet for it to happen, and you won't see results right away. It's not something that happens overnight. I'm so annoyed by people always asking how they can lose weight without putting any effort into it.
So, my question is: Where did people get the idea that weight loss is something that can be done fast and easy? Has the media created this idea? Is it because of the thousands of so-called weight loss foods and plans that are marketed to young people? Why are people so determined to find a shortcut to weight loss instead of putting in the effort to eat healthy and exercise? The ONLY true way to lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise, stop looking for magical alternatives!
Personally, I think it is a product of our society. We want everything fast and easy whether it is food, internet services or weight loss. No one wants to spend the time and effort it takes to lose weight because it is such hard work. I also think that people look at celebrities, see how quickly they lose weight and believe an ordinary person can do the same thing. The problem is that most of us cannot afford a personal trainer, the fortune of being able to workout for 4 hours a day or the pleasure of having our own personal chef prepare meals for us.

Me. I lost 25lbs from diet and exercise. It was slow going but well worth the effort! I'd like to lose more.
