I heard a weight loss expert on a radio talk show putting down acai berry diets. She says people keep looking for short cuts but she never saw anybody succeed in long term weight loss without balance, moderation, discipline, consistency, and persistence. I thought that if those five words make up the sum total of all successful weight loss "secrets," I'd be wise to memorize them and make them my mantra on days when the going gets tough.
After exercising in the mornings; I make a fruit smoothie (1/2 banana, 3 small strawberries, 1/8 cup organic vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup water and one scoop of whey protein powder) for rejuvenation. This powerful drink helps to get my day off with a super bang!
