Weight loss, Like quitting smoking is a decision that you will only take when you are 100% ready.When your mind and Body is ready, it just happens.

quick fixes like Low Carb diets, intense exercise regimes, weight loss supplemants ect. They almost never work. The reason weight loss is so difficult for most people, is they just arent ready to actually make the sacrifice, the discomfort and have the willpower to do it. So they cheat their diets, or gorge themselees on healthy food, and dont make better choices.

So when he says, people decided to quit, and are just ready to quit. Its successful its because they have come to terms with what they need to do.

Quitting smoking and losing weight are not alot different. Its about a lifestyle change, and sacrifice. For me it really only took 2-3 weeks of struggling before I got used to my new exercise/diet regime. After that, the weight peeled off, despite trying to lose weight for years. Now I have no problem keeping the weight off because my mindset is different.

I never really realized how bad I was eating until I stopped doing it. So after portion control, healthy choices, and small amounts of exercise, I lost something like 40 pounds in 16 weeks, and another 15 in the next 20 weeks. Exercise is really only about 20% of weight loss. Diet control is the rest. When you are ready to make the change, I mean really ready, it will happen, it wont be that difficult. Until that mindset hits, you will struggle. Smoking is no different.
