true ... it usually comes down to a "cake or tuna" decision at some point ... keep the tuna in full view so you're more likely to eat it and not think about the cake
basically there's 2 parts to this
1) eat healthy
2) exercise
i do both the above and i sure drink enough on weekends

so it works ... just need to keep your metabolism going fast
on that note, 26 is the ideal age to get the weight off before your metabolism slows down ...
