The fat loss equation isn't rocket science -- in fact, it's not a relatively difficult one either.

But obviously there's something going on ... a missing piece to the puzzle, that's confusing the issue. Otherwise 67% of the population would not be over weight or obese.

Here's the simple equation:

Nutrition + Exercise + Behavior Modification = Permanent Fat Loss (NOTE: weight loss pills are not a part of this equation).

Got it?

Nutrition means eating clean 90% of the time. Focusing on fruits and veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats. See, pretty easy.

Exercise means training with weights, kicking up the intensity with the cardiovascular exercise ... that doesn't mean walking at 1 mph for 1 hour each day. Combine the high intensity and weight training for a winning combo. Oh yeah, and "move" at least 5 hours each week.

Behavior Modification means ... well, it means a lot of things. And, honestly, THIS is the most important piece to the entire puzzle. You see, anyone can lose weight by going on some crazy fad, eliminating a food group, "cleansing" etc... but those who want to make weight loss permanent, need to make positive changes within themselves.

Organic is hot -- everything from produce to cereal, energy bars to oats are labeled "organic" these days.

That's a debate in and of itself, though...but truly more important than organic, is local. A vegetable picked from a farm down the road from you is going to offer more flavor and nutrients than organic produce that has been shipped across the world.

That is where Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) comes into play. In a nutshell, this means you buy a share of a local farm, get a weekly (or sometimes monthly, depending on the farm), delivery of the farms crops for around $450-500 for 6 months (about $20/week).

Most guarantee nothing is picked more than 24 hours prior to when you get it, meaning it tastes the best, the nutrients are highest, and you're supporting your local farm. A true win win all around.
