Winter Walking
There's cold and then there's cold. For cold temperatures, you can keep walking by wearing layered clothing and a hat and gloves. Take extra caution around snow and ice. But if a real cold snap hits, or if the streets aren't clear, then you may need to take up indoors walking on a track or treadmill or in a mall.

Over-the-Counter Diet Pills
Lose 30 pounds in 30 days! Natural weight loss! Boost your metabolism! Keep your body from absorbing fat! Take these claims with a grain of salt. Many popular diet pills have active ingredients that can cause problems or unwanted side-effects. I stopped taking such stuff when they gave me an anxiety attack back in college. Rest assured, it they could put weight loss in a pill, it wouldn't have to use overblown hype to be marketed. Natural weight loss is best achieved by naturally exercising more and eating smaller portions of a large variety of foods.
