Source- Prevention’s Guide to Weight Loss, “Net Loss” by Brett Bara
The first article I read, was not really a “reading” article, but it led to a multitude of helpful information. The article gave the Web Sites for ten of the most insightful sources of weight-loss information, and a detailed description of what they would entail. From visiting these sights, I was quite enlightened and benefited in the following ways: Learned about my BMI and how it is important, received a detailed nutrition and exercise plan that was “custom-tailored” for myself, received a free subscription to a walking magazine, received a free 2 week membership to Bally’s health Club, found a printable nutrition log that will help me track what I eat, had access to over 6 “personal weight-loss assistants”, etc. Additionally, you could buy clubs at golf-clubs.com and play golf to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
