By Alan J.Armstrong

We've all seen those bold headlines... the ones that promise to remodel your body in a matter of days. I'll be the first to admit; when I see quick solutions for pesky problems, my attention perks up and I need to learn more. The magic excitement rapidly turns to disappointment when I finish reading the sales pitch, pull up Google and the reviews are generally less than stellar.

As it turns out, I'm not the only one looking for simple solutions to common problems and weight- loss goals. Hundreds of thousands of people just like you and me are searching the internet hoping against all hope, that a magic pill will "shed pounds per day while eating whatever you want!" Let's get real for a moment, shall we?

There are no tummy-erasers, and pills can't undo years, possibly decades of poor eating choices and lifestyles. You can hope to put a band-aid on the real issue, but the long-term effects won't be as valuable without some real dedication and commitment to a new you.

Okay, Alan... Things are sounding pretty grim here; is there any actual hope for my short, and long term weight- loss goals? Well, of course there is! But before we move on, I want you to take a moment if you will, and just flush all of that garbage out of your head right now! The stuff about magical diets and weight- loss miracles, that is:) Okay, here we go. So you want the big scoop on shrinking your belly... here it is, a Two-Step-Guide guaranteed to get you in the best shape of your life; are you ready?!

1. Eat proper/real foods: veggies, fruits, lean meats, whole grains... you get the idea If you can pop your dinner in the microwave every night, it's a good bet it isn't the healthiest meal in the world.

2. Get some exercise: hit the gym, take a hike, or even just a walk down to the park It's a proven fact, that getting your heart rate up and losing weight go hand in hand. What seems like should be common knowledge, isn't as widely taught as one might expect.

It really is! All you have to do is eat correctly, exercise your body and there is absolutely no reason why you can't start shedding the pounds immediately.
