Oh, and to answer the original post.....
The ONLY thing that has ever worked for me is consistent effort.
I'm a firm believer that once you look past all the the nitty gritty of the information out there about exercise and
diet..... in the end, all that really matters is that you consistently put in consistent and sufficient effort more days than you don't.
The net will be progress.
Of course there are all the goodies like knowing how much
energy you are consuming, doing the right
exercises, etc.
But consistency is primary in my mind.
