Too Simple

I had a conversation with a friend recently who was talking about a mutual acquaintance who had lost a significant amount of weight over the past year. They had inquired as to what diet they used since we are always searching for those diets that work you know.

The answer?

"I cut back on sweets and the overall quantity of food I consumed and added in some daily exercise."

My friend seemed surprised at the answer.

It is sad that we are always looking for a short cut, but folks that is really the simple answer. Unfortunately, it just isn't that simple to implement.
