I hate math and numbers and all things even remotely related to such things! But boy, do I have an equation for you that could maybe cast shame on Albert Einstein’s c=mc2. Well… I honestly know nothing about that so I’m probably exaggerating. STILL… my equation, which, by the way, has no numbers in it, can help you achieve any goal you set out to accomplish in life, including the goal to lose weight and maintain that weight loss. You heard the equation in the title of this episode, but here i...
