Since most everyone talks about the “bad” side effects that occur when you try to lose weight somebody else’s way (starving yourself, not exercising correctly, popping pills to lose weight), I want to focus on the positive side effects that you will feel when you decide to change your life by doing it the right way.

Let’s quickly make a list of the “side effects” of not getting on a fitness exercise program and healthy eating plan vs. making a change to a newer, greater you…

Not on Health/Fitness Program “Side Effects”:

- Gain weight
- Lose muscle (If you had any in the first place)
- Add fat
- Decreased stamina (In ANYTHING you do)
- Increased rate of illness (colds, flu, etc.)
- Increased rate of disease
- Frequently tired
- Depression
- Lowered self-esteem

Now, let’s list a few side effects of being healthy when you start to adopt a positive change in your life:

- More energy
- Confidence
- Greater feeling of self-worth
- More muscle
- Less fat
- A general feeling of happiness
- Feeling that you can conquer anything you want to (and you can!)
- Lost weight

It’s a pretty easy pick, isn’t it?

And that’s just the beginning, folks.
