Here is another classic video from Jack Lalanne where he talks about people who think that they can buy their way out of anything. You may have heard before that your body is your temple. Your body is something that you need to invest in. The problem is that most people feel that they can buy anything. This includes buying health and weight loss.

Effort is the Only Currency

The only currency that your body recognizes is an effort. In order to lose weight, you need to put effort into it. This effort comes from eating sensibly and exercising. As in any financial transaction, your can gain interest on your efforts. Your efforts could be compounded when you are consistent.

Similarly, your account could be bankrupt if you have made regular withdrawals from your effort account. You make withdrawals everyday that you do not exercise. You make withdrawals everyday that you do not eat healthily.You make massive withdrawals every time you resort to a quick fix weight loss method.

Quick Fixes Are Unacceptable

Your body does not accept quick fixes. A quick fix is like winning the lottery. Most people who win a lottery usually lose the money as they had not cultivated the habits to sustain the wealth.

Quick fix weight loss methods result in a lifetime battle with weight loss. Majority of people who lose weight regain it back in time because of quick fix methods. Most people resort to quick fixes because they do not want to invest the effort in losing weight. These people do not want to exercise. They rather spend their whole lives in a battle with their weight rather than just embracing exercise. When losing weight, fast is slow and slow is fast.

The main reason for this quick fix mentality is because people believe that everything is achievable at the press of a button. Others believe that money can and should be able to buy everything.

Money Provides the Tools

Money can only help by providing the tools necessary to help weight loss. Money can help buy supplements such as Omega-3 or multivitamins that are essential for healthy weight loss. Money can help buy the gym membership or the exercise equipment necessary. Money can buy you the services of a personal trainer. The one thing that money cannot do is buy you a thinner body. A thinner body can only come from your efforts.
