Fat loss is not rocket science.  However, various infomercials will have you believe that losing body fat is some sort of occult science composed of many complex secretive principles that only a few enlightened ones have access to.  You too, however, may have access to this information but only after you pay the three small installments of $49.95; according to the infomercial anyways.
