I’ve been tying my own shoes for about 30 years, and I just discovered I’ve been tying my shoes the wrong way! There are several advantages to tying your shoes the right way:

• It is quick to tie your shoes
• It is also quick to untie your shoes (no double knots to fight with!)
• And most important, your shoes stay tied while you are running!

There’s a 50/50 chance you are tying your shoes the wrong way. Watch this video to learn the right way to tie your shoes.

Update: How I became a shoe tying ninja!

This post has been sitting in my drafts for a while. I guess today is as good a day as any to finally post it.

This summer I wrote a few tongue-in-cheek posts about a new diet—The ELMM Diet. (ELMM means eat less, move more). Since then it has been one of the top Google searches that brings people to the site. Go ahead. Try it.

My point was that all of the fad diets out there often get in the way of us doing what we really need to do to be healthy—be smart with what we eat and exercise regularly. So I jokingly called this a “new diet”.

Recently a new study came out that suggests The ELMM Diet may not be so silly after all. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine compared the results of different diet plans. Study participants were placed on different diets—some low carb, some low fat, some high protein, etc. The findings? Participants all lost the same amount of weight, regardless of which diet they followed. The conclusion? Eating less and exercising more are the keys to weight loss.

Imagine my surprise to discover that Craig Ferguson plugged the ELMM Diet on the Late, Late Show.

I am truly amazed at how quickly ELMM is gaining worldwide momentum.

Don’t forget to get your T-shirt.

A helpful commenter suggested I make  stickers, hats and t-shirts to spread the message of the ELMM Diet.

After extensive research I am pleased to announce that I have pioneered a new health plan: the ELMM Diet. Those who follow the ELMM Diet are guaranteed* to develop a greater level of health and fitness.

ELMM stands for Eat Less-Move More. In order to follow this revolutionary health plan you must follow two strategic steps. 1) Eat Less. 2) Move More. The amazing thing about the ELMM Diet is that you can follow the steps in any order and still receive optimal results.

I am not only the founder of ELMM, I am also a client. I’ll let you know how it goes.

*Disclaimer: As with any diet or exercise program, the ELMM should be followed with moderation and common sense. Talk to your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise program. Individual results may vary.
