 Take
500 milligrams of white bean extract, daily. In a 2007
study, people who took the extract (which may slow the
absorption of carbs) for 30 days experienced a
significant improvement in their muscle-to-fat ratio.
That's good news for metabolism since muscle burns about
three times more calories than fat.

Make it better
 If
you're not satisfied with what is, then you need to get
busy and visualize what can be. Replacing or improving
the undesirable is much more effective than just
rejecting it. Doing something works infinitely better
than just complaining.
Rather than waste your time and effort on useless
complaints, invest yourself in improving the situation.
Moving forward will get you much farther than moving
against.
There are those who complain, who take pride in being a
victim. And then there are those who see the enormous
opportunity that comes from making a situation better.
Which approach makes the most sense to you?
If there's something you don't like, make it better.
It's not that big of a step from seeing something as
undesirable and visualizing how it can be better.
Put some effort behind your vision. Don't just stand
there complaining. Make it better!

 "When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bull's-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim -- improve yourself."
