Eat.

Simple. Straight forward. You can't (not won't, can't) succeed if you don't. You must provide your body with fuel. Fuel allows you to work. Work builds lean mass. Lean mass burns more fuel (fat). Burning more fuel over time means you've raised your metabolism. This means you process more fuel, thus can sustain a higher level of work, thus you building more lean mass and burn an ever increasing amount of fuel (fat). See the upward spiral? So that salad and glass of water ain't gonna cut it dear.

And you know what else? Mama was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So EAT BREAKFAST. A study released by the Endocrine Society in June 2008 showed a several hundred percent increase in weight loss among those that eat a big well balanced breakfast against those who don't. So skip the Special K, slow down for just a few minutes, grab some turkey sausage, eggs and whole wheat toast and go to town.

Eat.

Don't make me say it again.
