Simple fixes can work at the onset of a problem, before things get complex -- before your endocrine system gets imbalanced. Unfortunately too many have no clear obesity threshold or apply comparative analysis against cohorts who are also gaining weight. While it seems unimaginable today, in the 80's a breakfast cereal commercial begins, "Can you pinch an inch ?". This commercial ran so often that it forced a lifelong association: more than 1 inch of belly fat means you are out of shape. I have probably pinched myself once a day, every day, for decades. When I am "out of shape" I stop drinking my calories (juice, soda, milk). It's effortless and only takes a few days to recover. Wait too long with any problem and there will be no easy fix.
