Enroute to winning Season 4 of NBC's "The Biggest Loser," Bill and Jim Germanakos learned a ton of about a healthy diet as they lost a ton of weight (or at least 350 pounds between them). In particular, they learned 2 big weight loss secrets. Both are really common sense, but somehow this knowledge isn't so common anymore. Let me share them with you.
First, we need to be educated (or re-educated) about a healthy diet and proper exercise programs. We should know all this stuff, and maybe we did at one time. But in a world of too little time for exercise, endless supplies of junk food, and ever-growing portions of ever-less healthy meals, we seem to have forgotten, or neglected, or cast aside what we need to know to lose weight and be healthy.
Second, we need to change the way we think about a "healthy diet." Even calling it a diet implies that it is a temporary sacrifice we're making to reach some goal before we go back to eating and living the way we used to. Instead of going on a healthy diet, call it making a lifestyle change. You might think this is simple semantics, but the words "lifestyle change" carry none of the emotional baggage and negative connotations that any phrase containing the word "diet" will have.
Of course, there's a lot more to losing weight and living healthy than this. But these two things, getting educated about healthy eating and exercise, and thinking in terms of changing our lifestyle instead of "going on a diet," are fundamental for your success.
To guide you in achieving your goals, Bill and Jim have created the Rapid Action Metabolism (RAM) System. It is the system they used to lose the weight during the show, and to keep it off over the years since they were on "The Biggest Loser." The system worked for these guys and it will work for you too.
