How to Apply "The Secret" to Losing Weight
Weight loss is a matter of reducing your total calorie intake, either by eating less or exercising more. "The Secret," on the other hand, is the system from the book of the same name wherein things allegedly happen to you because you think positively about them. According to "The Secret," positive thoughts will harness the Law of Attraction, which will make things happen on their own. "The Secret" has not been proven to work for weight loss, although positive attitudes are healthy. Diet and exercise, on the other hand, works, so you should use both to lose some weight.
