You heart is the one thing that will help you lose weight and have a happier life. That old saying of "home is where the heart is" comes back to us. It comes back in both the poetic sense and the physical sense.

In this day and age of fast food it is not easy to lose weight. Standing over a stove for half an hour to an hour compared with readily made greasy cheeseburgers that are consumable in a matter of minutes is a no-brainer. This is the main reason America today is the most obese country in the world.

It has long been believed that extreme exercise is the only way to lose weight. This is a wrong belief. Moderate exercise daily will shed those unwanted pounds.
