Simple Effective Weight Loss

"The rate-controlling factor is that you can only get rid of fat by burning it for energy -- and your body only needs so much energy per day."

BW: It's no surprise that someone in your position would know a fair amount about anatomy, physiology, and psychology, but I was surprised when you mentioned Sufi philosophy in your book. Have you studied it?

AAA: "Studied" is far too strong a term. I'm certainly no Sufi. And there are as many self-proclaimed and self-deluded "Sufis" as every other type of charlatan.

I have read the books of Idries Shah, who is a real Sufi. I have found them to be examples of some of the most lucid, non-cultish spiritual sanity in the English language.

They're not for everyone of course, but for those who are tired of "uptight orthodoxy" and "feel-good foolishness", I highly recommend taking a look. They're easily available through neighborhood bookstores and on the Internet.
