3 Rules for Losing Weight

Excellent advice on how to lose weight - Jason Helmes and the 3 rules:

1. Eat 2 or 3 meals - no snacking
2. Eat whole foods
3. Don't drink a calorie

Excellent advice. So simple yet so effective but also so hard to follow. Exercise is an important component too (especially some form of weight training) but if you are really overweight it is best to start with just the 3 rules while trying to do some daily walking.

My only issue is with rule 3 - I like to believe my morning coffee is calorie free. And to be honest sometimes I make beer one of my 3 meals.

Keith Jackson may have been the second best announcer of my lifetime. The best being Vin Scully. Rest in peace Mr. Jackson... Krill oil 48 times better than fish oil? I might have to try some of this... Just saying but the one common thread among "shithole' countries is not skin color but the fact that they all seem to play soccer. Like I said - just saying...
