If you made resolutions to lose weight, which of the following options would you choose?
Option 1 – cut off an arm or a leg or both.
Option 2 – change your eating patterns and identify new ways to burn calories.

Option 2 would most likely make you feel better and increase your ability overall to do and achieve better results.
