Weltall did it the hard way, the way the body isn't really designed to loose weight, via dieting. From what he's said, and what I've heard over and over on science channels, this method is hell because the body believes it is being starved and starts doing stuff to make it even harder to loose weight, like storing MORE fat from the little food you do eat. The way that's recommended is excercise, which is how we are built to burn away excess baggage. The thing about that is that even though it really hurts at first, in a few weeks the same level of work doesn't feel that bad due to your getting stronger, plus the extra mitochondria burn more energy, so you end up burning even more food off. The reason so many give up is that the first week or so is very painful. Get past that, and you can either stick with what now feels good, or work out even harder to a level that feels like what low level excercising felt like at first, and become an even more efficient energy using machine. So, up to you. Either go for a very hard and painful way that leaves you drained, or go for the way that is very hard and painful but only at first, or if you want to go even further and keep it that way, and it leaves you energized. Plus, with excersice, you can eat more because the whole point is burning it. One last thing, there's no reason you can't do either, because both are totally free. You don't need tapes or machines to do either method. You can just jog in circles in the living room if you need to. Well, if you have prosthetics you are more machine than man anyway (where is that from?) so you are superior to the rest of us already.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
