From Weddings to Weight Loss - What Solange Shows Us

Before she whipped Jay Z, I had never paid much attention to Solange Knowles. Now, of course, the world knows not to mess with Beyoncé's little sister. 

And now, with her unconventional white wedding in Vogue, she's the star of her own beautiful, blazing moment.  

Solange thrashed the wedding rule book: the bike ride to the ceremony, the guests in white, the caped gown - showing us all that sometimes the best way to rock your life is by defying everything you've been taught. 

Speaking of vows...In a few weeks, we'll be inundated with ads from the billion-dollar diet industry seeking our dollars to help with our New Year's resolutions.  It might be time to take a page from Solange's playbook and say:  Screw your rules.

From weddings to weight loss, sometimes you have to be the game-changer.

Ditching the rules - and the scale - helped me lose 50 pounds after failing horribly with traditional dieting methods.  If common diets have left you starving, fatter than ever and burned out, why not take a note from Solange?  Forget the formulas. Do it your way.   

Below are some articles and blog posts I've written with unconventional ideas for weight loss:

You can bet when it's my time for nuptials, I'm following Solange's lead and re-writing the story there, too.  Congrats to the couple!
