I agree... on both counts... no shortcuts for me but other people, go right ahead! The weight loss journey is a personal one. I share how I've been losing weight but I don't tell people to do it my way. My mantra: Find YOUR way. I suppose that some people could very well make a positive lifestyle change while using shortcuts while others will do it slow and steady and then gain it back for some reason. I'm gonna stick with what's work for me and, like you, I'll always recommend the slow and steady pace but to each its own. Great post!
