Have you ever seen a pound of fat before? {Photo}

Have you ever seen what a pound of fat looks like? 

https://dmi4pvc5gbhhd.cloudfront.net/2016/02/pound-of-fat.JPG

Point is, losing one pound is not nothing!! 

It’s a BIG DANG DEAL! 

Imagine 10 of those suckers together!

What a massive (MASSIVE!!) difference that would make in your appearance.

Imagine 10 of them disappearing off your body...

How would you feel? 

Sexy? Healthier? Awesome? (all of the above)

So let’s do it my friend. 

Do you want to drop 10 or more pounds??

If YES, become a member right now!

And join March Madness, our BIGGEST challenge of the year! 

If you want top 10 pounds or if you're trying to kick a bad habit, you'll love love LOVE what's in store!! 

Big jump shot prizes too like books, hoodies, and pressure cookers!!

(Details will be released to all members tomorrow. Start your membership today. March Madness tips off Tuesday, March 1st!)

Bottom line: To lose weight steadily you have to plan what and when you’re going to eat. You have to set aside time and energy for “dieting” and your health. No ways around that. And too, if you don’t follow a nutritious diet, you’ll be more likely to cheat. The meal plans can be a giant shortcut.

I love this little tool!

Have you heard about the potato pocket yet?

Best $4.98 I’ve ever spent.

https://dmi4pvc5gbhhd.cloudfront.net/2016/02/IMG_6181.JPG

Typically, I batch a 5-lb bag of potatoes in my pressure cooker once a week…

But when I travel (or I can’t wait for the PC to do its thing)...

I use my potato pocket.

I also LOVE how it keeps my potatoes warm FOR HOURS.

Great for long car rides, the airplane, taking taters to work… and beyond!

And because I’m a big spender ;-) I bought everyone at HQ their own.

Carly, who previously would only bake potatoes (she didn’t like them any other way), LOVES her pocket too! She even takes it when visiting her parents!!!

Buy yours right here.

P.S. Microwaving is not only safe, it’s sometimes the BEST cooking method (meaning it preserves the most nutrients). No need to fear ‘em. They’re wonderfully convenient!

P.P.S. I shared this infographic on Facebook this week… EAT MORE POTATOES!
