Michael liked earning $280,000 a year. But everything else about his job stunk: the 90-hour weeks; the pressure; his boss. Yes, the pay was good. But as Michael said, "It takes a big chunk of cheese to keep a rat running this maze day after day."

What you really need is a diet where you lose weight by sitting and watching TV. Think it's a fantasy? Go on and keep reading.

You have read and heard the statistics: Society is getting fatter than any time in history. From young to old, the stats tell the tale: Obesity is endemic. Why?

There are plenty of explanations, but here is one that you probably have not heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized--if you will--to purchase and consume more and larger portions of everything, chiefly junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

How did this happen? What could possibly have such a powerful, insidious effect on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It's your TV.

Yes, advertisers have slowly and methodically hypnotized you. They market their empty calories using the most potent and effective advertising medium ever created: TV commercials.....Read more »
