If you crave food between meals, snack on raw vegetables, fruits, un-salted nuts, raisins, and similar. I have found that "GORP" (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts) or raisins with almonds taste extremely sweet without added sugar. The fairly small amount of unsaturated fats in nuts will do a lot to ward off hunger.

When I realized / admitted that my muscles were pretty out of condition, I started with stretches and walking, then researched such sources as Charles Atlas, Jack La Lanne, and army calisthenics for a self regulated range of exercises which cost next to nothing, and can be done in times and places of my choice. For bad weather, I admit to having a paddle wheel exer-cycle, but brisk walking in shopping centers or other large buildings also works.

I had taken my body for granted. Now I am in better health and fitness than when I passed age 60, feel and sleep better, don't get tired so easily, feel more alert. And my weight is same as in my mid teen years.

My two health books and numerous free articles show that taking ownership and responsibility for one's body is not that difficult. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that some health advice violates biology, chemistry, physics, or just plain common sense. If providers of advice want you to pay for more than basic information, be skeptical, such as for magic pills to control weight.

The rewards are simply great. Slow aging process, resist even scary diseases, lower medical costs, and on and on.

By way, I am not criticising vitamin and mineral pills, if not used in excess.

It nauseates me to see people running after magic pills, worthless dietary supplements, and fad diets. The truth is available on internet if you search out good sources of information. You don't have to trust just one reference.

Let truth make you free from health and wealth robbing magic revelations.
