science proves anyone can lose weight and keep it off when you...

discover your body's
natural "genius" for burning fat

"this is the only healthy way to lose weight permanently!

thinking of starting a weight loss program? please... before you do anything, read this first.

dear friend,

do you ever wonder why it can be so hard to get rid of those extra pounds? you try everything out there, and nothing seems to really work.

sure, you may lose a few pounds for a while... but then? the weight always seem to come right back. you get discouraged, and keep wondering if maybe you're just not meant to lose weight.

well i have good news for you...

there's nothing wrong with you. it's just that almost everything you hear coming from the weight loss industry is utter nonsense. and all those gadgets, techniques and pills they want to sell you are worse than useless.

i want to show you how easy it can be to lose weight... to see the fat melt off effortlessly... to shed pounds and inches like crazy.

you'll be fitting into clothes you haven't worn in 10 years... you'll have more bounce in your step... and you'll feel healthier than ever in your sexy, new body.

and when you start getting approving glances from complete strangers... when friends compliment you on your looks... you're going to feel absolutely terrific about yourself.

millions have this natural ability
to lose weight -
but never discover it!

let me start with a confession - i love good food! i also love "junky" food like pizza, french fries, cake, you name it. and up through college, i could eat what i wanted and not gain weight.

all that changed when i graduated, got a desk job, and moved into my own apartment. i was too lazy to cook for myself, so i ate out at restaurants a lot. before too long, i was 10 pounds heavier... then 20 pounds... and more. i was on my way to weighing 200 pounds!

i had to do something quick! but there were two big obstacles...

first, i love to eat. second, i had no time or energy to spend hours exercising at the gym. on top of that, i refused to use any weight loss pills because of the harmful side effects.

does any of this sound familiar to you? you're not alone. millions of people are in the same situation today - we drive to work, sit at a desk, then go home and sit on the couch. but it's hard to diet or find time to exercise.

i had to find a way to lose weight without restrictive diets... without heavy exercise or being into sports... and without pills or supplements. sound impossible? i thought so too.

then i discovered a system so simple, yet so effective, that i wondered why the weight loss industry even needs to be in business.

i found out that you can...

unlock your body's natural ability to burn excess fat

i won't bore you with the endless hours i spent reading everything i could get my hands on about digestion... how metabolism works... why we gain weight... and where your body gets its energy from.

but my research exposed a lot of the half-truths and outright lies the diet industry wants you to believe about losing weight. more on that in a minute.

here's what happened...

i developed a simple plan for myself - a system that was practical, effective, and easy to use. i never had to step foot in a gym... never had to get on one of those exercise contraptions.

and before i knew it, i was back down to my ideal weight!

now don't get me wrong. exercise can be good for your health, and i recommend it. but i found that you don't have to do tons of strenuous exercises to lose weight.

see, your body naturally burns fat. you don't have to work up a sweat, take metabolism-boosting pills, or wrap your body in seaweed. why go through all that?

this is the "secret" i discovered - you can get your body to keep shedding unwanted pounds naturally and easily.

now i've put together my system for you into one easy-to-read book.

introducing...

practical weight loss -
the only healthy way
to lose weight and keep it off for good

practical weight loss exposes the lies you've been fed by companies pushing their pills, contraptions, and diet fads-of-the-month. this is the system the billion-dollar diet industry hopes you never discover - because it would put them out of business overnight!

i don't care how many times you've tried and failed at keeping your extra weight off. my practical weight loss system can show you the easy and effective way to lose weight.

practical weight loss is the only healthy way to get your body to do what it naturally wants to do - get down to its ideal weight.

here's just some of what you'll discover in my book...

• the only weight-loss formula guaranteed by law. yes... scientific law. works every time!
   
• burn more calories... while sitting quietly in a comfortable chair. (no, it's not self-hypnosis.) simple weight-loss secret the pill pushers don't want you to know.
   
• eat cake... a hamburger... toast with butter... and practically anything else you enjoy! this simple plan gets you thin - without sacrificing your favorite foods.
   
• got a little extra baggage in your belly... thighs... buttocks? here's the only sure way to trim the fat in those "trouble spots."
   
• shed 24 pounds... by drinking water! easiest weight-loss technique ever. all you have to do is... (continued on page 38).

until now, if you wanted to lose weight you would have to be hungry all the time... bust your rear end in the gym doing sweaty workouts... and give up what you most love to eat. what a pain!

but now there's a better, infinitely easier, more practical alternative.

you can laugh at weight-loss worries...
if you follow this simple plan

if you think it takes a lot of hard work to lose weight, then i have good news for you!

look. it's crazy that a woman like me who hates to exercise and loves pizza could lose 23 pounds so easily. but that's exactly what i did - and i've kept the weight off.

now, 23 pounds may not sound like a lot to you - but that's precisely what i needed to lose to reach my ideal weight.

practical weight loss will work for you whether you need to lose 20 pounds or 200. why? because it's based on scientific principles of how the body works.

i know you're skeptical. after all, what i'm promising you probably goes against everything you've heard from your friends, your family, and everyone at work.

but let me ask you a question...

how many of them have lost weight and kept it off for good - without a lot of hard exercise... without pills... and without giving up their favorite foods? not one, i'll bet.

and if you have tried to lose weight before with no success, you may be hesitant about trying yet another method. i understand.

but here's why this system is different:

it's not based on some complex "food combination" theory...

it's not designed to keep you dependent on a strict "meal plan"...

it doesn't require you to do a lot of hard exercising...

it doesn't make you shell out any more money for gadgets, body wraps, daily planners, or fancy cooking equipment...

and it absolutely doesn't involve any kinds of pills, drugs, or supplements.

but it does show you how to ignite your body's natural fat-burning engine - so you lose pounds and inches easily.

that's not all...

practical weight loss reveals some surprising facts about eating!

• salads are great diet foods, right? not so fast! here's a common - and fattening - mistake many dieters make when they toss their salads together.
   
• how low-fat foods can actually make you gain weight. the packaged food companies want to keep this fact hush-hush. here's what you need to know.
   
• go ahead and snack! but... watch out for these 10 fatty foods if you really want to slim down.
   
• lose weight by eating more meals! astounding reason on page 43.
   
• weight loss tip! when you see foods labeled "battered," "crunchy," or "crispy" - watch out! that's food industry code for "fried food" - and that means high fat.

but here's the most important part. i also expose...

weight loss secrets the diet industry
doesn't want you to know!

the weight loss industry wants to keep you in the dark about losing weight the healthy way. there's just too much money to be made preying on the unsuspecting public.

they hope you fall for their sneaky lies and keep buying their gimmicks, gadgets, and thousand-dollar programs. they're afraid that if you learn how to trim down and keep the weight off, they'll lose you as a customer forever.

this has made it nearly impossible for someone like you to discover the facts. until now.

once you learn the simple system in practical weight loss, you'll be a step ahead of everyone else who's desperately searching for some magic potion. you'll have the edge over the weight-loss industry hucksters pushing their latest schemes on late-night tv.

and you'll be getting trim and fit while saving hundreds, even thousands of dollars by not buying into the empty promises of companies trying to make a quick buck off of you.

a lot of the "fad diet" gurus may not like what i have to say about losing weight the healthy way. they stay in business by making weight loss more complicated than it needs to be.

but it really is much simpler than they want you to believe.

now, i can almost hear you say, "but practical weight loss can't possibly work that well for me." well, let me assure you...

practical weight loss is a no-nonsense system
that can work for anyone!

practical weight loss will work no matter how much weight you need to lose. it's easy to learn. and it's absolutely safe - because it taps into your body's natural ability to burn fat.

this proven system not only shows you how to lose weight easily, it also shows you how to stay with it until you reach your goal.

for example...

• stuck on a weight-loss "plateau"? no problem. here are 4 surefire tips to get you back on track.

• how to overcome the top 6 weight-loss challenges. proven techniques that smooth the way for you.
   
• think being "just" 10-20 pounds overweight is okay? here's why that could be a fatal mistake.

believe it or not, the best thing about losing all that weight for good isn't that you'll be more attractive... healthier... sexier. it's the secure, confident feeling it gives you inside.

i guarantee, you'll just love the way practical weight loss makes you feel about yourself. this really works. i wouldn't spend five minutes at it if it didn't.

practical weight loss may be the easiest,
most dependable system ever created
for helping you reach your ideal weight

now, you may not need to lose 100 pounds - and you may not want to look like you did when you were 17. but what would it mean to you if you could just lose 20... 30... or 50 pounds - and keep it off for good?

isn't it worth your while to at least prove to yourself practical weight loss works?

okay, i admit there is one downside to practical weight loss. you may have to spend more money on clothes for the new, thinner you! (unless you don't mind wearing baggy clothes on your trim, sleek body.)

if you're the kind of person who takes responsibility for your life and health, then i'd like to make you a special offer.

but first, consider how much people spend on weight-loss plans, gimmicks, or supplements...

some diet plans will cost you over $300 a year - and then you have to buy their pre-packaged meals for another $75 - $100 a week. that's another $3,900 - $5,200 a year. yikes!

bottles of "weight loss" supplements can cost up to $1500 for a year's supply.

and people fork out anywhere from $39 to $299 for all those ab rollers and other gadgets - before they unload them at garage sales.

well, i'm going to show you how to stop wasting all that money!

guaranteed to help you
shed unwanted pounds -
or your money back!

through this special internet offer, you can now own the proven system guaranteed to help you melt away those excess pounds.

the cost? $34.97 - less than you'd spend on dinner for two at your favorite restaurant... and a lot less than you'd have to spend on any other weight loss method.

why am i not selling this proven system for the same inflated prices as other weight loss programs out there? simple - practical weight loss doesn't do you any good if you can't afford it.

i've been where you are. i know what it's like to not be able to fit into my old clothes... to feel the frustration of being overweight... to wonder if i'd ever get back to my normal weight.

i just can't bear to see others suffer as i did, and if i can help make a difference in your life by sharing my secrets, then i'm perfectly satisfied to just make a small profit for my efforts.

but please note - this offer is strictly for people who are serious about taking that first step towards losing weight permanently.
