Weight loss
After years of gaining weight, I finally decided to take my own advice and signed up for Precision nutrition's lean eating plan. Their sales pitch appealed to me in that they said that people fail because they try to change everything at once. The plan was to start a new habit every 2 weeks and over time you would see results. Over the past 10 months, I was able to loss 61 pounds and 17% body fat. In doing so, I am one of the 21 finalists for their contest. I would appreciate if I could get you to vote for me. I am candidate number 5.

one of the toughest things in life is to change your lifestyle habits all at once. one of the biggest things to losing and keeping weight off is exercise. it is very tough to start and stay on a program that has all the changes built into it at the start. i have helped plenty of people lose weight, i try to get them to first get their eating habits down pat, and if the person has lost 20 pounds in a month, i try to get them to introduce exercise into life. maybe starting with walks, and moving on to jogging or running, then some type of weight training.
congratulations to all that are successful at losing and keeping their weight off.
my wife lost 100 pounds and put back on 125, so i know that its not easy, in order to attain your goal you have to have your mind made up before you start and stay motivated.

Not to discount anyone or what they have posted, what has not been mentioned is the zeroing of adding salt and its effect short and long term. Double the greens and a 99 % reduction in salt is a worthy discussion if somebody wants to go there. People giving up salt is almost like the Congress spending less money, not very popular for those with the shaker.

Same could be said for sugar.

This is an excellent point, on another note.. although I use real butter (sparingly) in many recipes/food, I use unsalted butter.
Not using salt in many things and not using sugar in coffee, those are the biggest things I have given up in the last 5 years... it has been a good start to maintaining weight levels.

As one who has struggled with obesity, (and am winning the battle these last 2 years) I can tell you that the "big three" (salt, sugar and fat) are at the root of the problem.
However, if you are obese, limiting them (or even cutting them out altogether) will not solve the problem. It takes more extreme measures.
What Witchdoctor has done is extreme.
My guess would be that right now WD is feeling like he is so empowered that he could whip the world.
I have known him for many years. He is a fine man and deserves this.
