Shocked? When the rate of obesity has increased 300% over the past 30 years there must be…

Weight Loss: The Tripod Rule

A tripod is a very stable foundation, ask any photographer. Now when it comes to weight loss this concept becomes very important, as explained later, when the focus moves away from just losing weight to normalizing your metabolism and then eventually normalizing your weight.
