Would you like to get in better shape? Develop some beneficial new skill or habit? Go on a diet and actually succeed? Whatever way you’d like to change your life or yourself, remember this simple truth: there are no shortcuts. Want to lose a ton of weight quickly? Chances are you’ll also gain it back quickly – plus a pound or two for good measure. Although a quick fix may be tempting, slow and steady wins the race. That’s a good thing, since you want the change to be permanent, not a flash in the pan.
Correction: there are shortcuts.
