Are you tired of diets that work for everyone except you?
If you’ve tried keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, juice cleanses, and every “miracle” solution only to end up heavier and more frustrated than when you started, this book is your lifeline.
Finally, a weight loss approach that actually works for real people with real lives.
Ricardo Vazquez isn’t a fitness influencer with perfect genetics or a nutritionist with a PhD. He’s a regular guy who spent decades failing at every diet imaginable—until he discovered the secret that naturally thin people know instinctively but no one talks about.
Stop believing these dangerous myths that keep you stuck:Myth: You need superhuman willpower to be healthyMyth: Healthy food has to taste like cardboardMyth: One “cheat meal” ruins everythingMyth: You must exercise like a maniac to see resultsMyth: Your body is working against you
The truth? Your body isn’t broken—your approach is.
After studying naturally thin people (including his own wife and son), Ricardo uncovered simple patterns that make the difference between struggling forever and actually enjoying the process of getting healthy.
Here’s a small sample of what you’ll discover:The “sneaky swap” strategy that lets you eat foods you love while automatically improving your healthWhy skipping dinner occasionally can boost your metabolism better than any supplementThe 30-second bathroom “workout” that delivers 18,000 exercises per year (seriously)How to eat mindfully without becoming a food monkThe “80/20 rule” that makes healthy eating sustainable for lifeWhy the scale is lying to you and what to measure insteadThe simple sleep hack that eliminates cravings naturallyHow to handle stress without demolishing a bag of chips
“But I’ve tried everything and nothing works for me…”
This isn’t another diet. It’s a complete mindset shift that works with your personality, schedule, and preferences—not against them. You don’t need to become a different person. You just need to become a healthier version of yourself.
“I don’t have time for complicated meal plans and gym routines…”
Perfect! This approach is designed for busy people who want results without turning their lives upside down. Everything in this book can be implemented gradually, one small change at a time.
“What if I fail again?”
The beauty of this system is that there’s no “failing”—only learning. You’ll discover how to bounce back from setbacks quickly and without guilt, making this the last approach you’ll ever need.
Warning: This book contains zero magic bullets, impossible promises, or before-and-after photos.
What it does contain is a brutally honest, surprisingly funny roadmap from someone who’s been exactly where you are—and found a way out that actually sticks.

Epson partnered with Bose for the speakers on its new projectors
Epson announced five new projectors today as part of a new Lifestudio brand. The lineup includes portable projectors and an ultra-short throw model designed to be part of a permanent home theater setup, with a mix of 4K and 1080P options. All five models feature built-in speakers developed as part of a partnership with Bose, Epson’s new 3LCD projection technology, Google TV, and a new mobile app for iOS and Android that can be used to create movies and photo slideshows that stream to the projectors.
The most expensive model in the new lineup is the $2,699.99 Epson Lifestudio Grand: an ultra-short throw projector that can create a 4K, 120-inch image when positioned just 15.2-inches away from a wall or screen. Weighing over 16 pounds it’s not designed with portability in mind, but with 3,600 lumens of output, it’s Epson’s brightest Lifestudio projector — and the loudest, with a pair of 45mm speakers and an 80mm subwoofer.
The Flex Plus is a 4K model with 1,000 lumens of illumination and ambient lighting so it can double as a (very expensive) lamp. It can be powered through a USB-C port using an adapter or a battery with at least 100W of output. If you go the battery route to improve its portability, Epson says a 24,000mAh power bank will provide up to 70 minutes of movie watching. The more affordable Lifestudio Flex is limited to 1080P and 700 lumens of brightness, but can’t be powered over USB-C.
The $679.99 Pop and $799.99 Pop Plus are the most budget-friendly options in Epson’s new Lifestudio lineup, offering 1080P and 4K resolutions respectively; both have the same 700 lumens of brightness. Sound is delivered through a 20mm tweeter and a 40mm full range speaker, while bass frequencies are boosted using a pair of passive radiators.
NFL Week 3 betting: Odds, lines and totals for every game
Week 3 gets underway with a matchup of AFC East rivals when the Miami Dolphins visit the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football.”
The Bills cruised past the New York Jets in Week 2 to move to 2-0, while the Dolphins dropped to 0-2 after falling to the Patriots in New England.
Not surprisingly, the Bills are the biggest favorite (-13.5) on the Week 3 slate.
Sunday afternoon features two matchups of undefeated teams, with the Philadelphia Eagles (-3.5) hosting the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals hitting the road to face the San Francisco 49ers (-1.5).
“Sunday Night Football” will feature a pair of winless teams: the New York Giants and… the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants fell to 0-2 after a wild finish in Dallas, and the Chiefs remained winless after a loss to the Eagles in their Super Bowl rematch.
The week wraps up with an enticing “Monday Night Football” matchup, as the Detroit Lions visit the Baltimore Ravens at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN.
Here’s a look at the odds for every Week 3 game.

Baker Mayfield wants ‘more wins’ in Year 3 with Bucs
-
Jenna Laine
TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield may have completed just 53.1% of his passing attempts in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons — going 2-of-8 in the first quarter — but he still delivered when he needed to.
His feet never seemed to get settled and the ground game offered him little support. In fact, he was the leading rusher for both teams by the game’s end. And the deep ball connection was not there — he went 3-for-10 on passes of 15 or more air yards — with the exception of rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka, who spent most of the game not being patrolled by All-Pro safety Jessie Bates III.
Still, with Mayfield coming off the best season of his career, he stated one category that he wanted to see improved: “more wins,” after he accumulated 19 in his first two seasons with Tampa Bay.
He got his first in the opener, as the Bucs prepare to visit the Houston Texans (0-1) on “Monday Night Football” (7 ET, ESPN/ABC).
Mayfield is coming off a season in which he threw for 41 touchdowns (tied for second in the NFL), and had 4,500 passing yards and a 71.4 completion percentage (both ranking third). He’s going into Year 3 in Tampa and was rewarded with a reworked contract this offseason that gives him $30 million in guaranteed money in 2026, a year that previously had no guarantees.
“Having been in the offense for a year and coming back in the same system finally, I think he’s really taken the bull by the horns, so to speak,” coach Todd Bowles said in the lead-up to the season opener.
Against the Falcons, Mayfield scrambled four times on third down, picking up 39 yards, including a 20-yard run in the third quarter. Then with the game on the line, he turned to Egbuka on a first-and-10 with 1:04 to go and hit him on a post route for a 25-yard touchdown.
“I think the faster the game speeds up, the calmer he is,” Bowles said of Mayfield’s two-minute drive, sealing the 23-20 victory.
“You saw the dart he threw to [Egbuka] on the game winner — I mean, that is an unreal throw,” wide receiver Sterling Shepard said of the play, which had just a 24.9% completion probability, according to NFL Next Gen Stats — the lowest completion probability of the entire game.
Offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard was most impressed with the way he sold that play as a quick-hitter to Mike Evans, replicating what they showed earlier in the game to fool the defense.
“[Mayfield’s] footwork on that, even though that was an explosive play — I think that was on the 25- or 30-yard line where we threw it from — he essentially had a quick-game timing on the play where he threw it to Mike, where he’s taking a very slight drop,” Grizzard said. “Does Mike get the ball? OK, Bates is nailing down, and all it takes is a quick hitch from him to be able to get it up to Emeka.
“So having that recall and working it from the spring of last year through now, [he] now has that in-game reaction where in the critical moment, he’s on it with his footwork and he can get the ball out to an explosive play, and it’s not like he’s taking a seven-step drop.”
But Mayfield, who threw 41 touchdowns last year, faces a different type of challenge Monday night. In addition to missing All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs (center Graham Barton stepped in for Wirfs, while left guard Ben Bredeson moved to center and newcomer Mike Jordan moved to left guard), the Bucs were also without newly extended right tackle Luke Goedeke (left foot) for two practices last week, and he was also limited in his return Friday.
On top of that, Mayfield admitted that the Falcons’ defense got him to “move on in [his] progressions too quickly” as he was pressured on 40.5% of his dropbacks.
“I could have taken a lot more check downs and some underneath throws in the beginning to be more efficient instead of going three-and-out,” Mayfield said.
That could be a problem against Texans pass rushers Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, who combined for 23 sacks last season.
“Anytime you play a team like this that has two bona fide studs on the edge, you game plan for them,” Mayfield said. “You understand that the protection on some things — when you’re trying to push the ball down the field — you’re going to need extra guys in there, whether it’s a chip block or different things like that, double-teams. So you know where they’re at at all times.”
Bowles emphasized getting off to a faster start and better establishing the run. Grizzard said he wanted to try to get some easier completions early on, as they missed some intended for Evans in Atlanta. And Mayfield’s accuracy will be tested; he had some off-target throws in Week 1.
“They have a very ball-hawking secondary,” Bowles said. “They keep eyes on the quarterback at all times. From [Jalen Pitre], the nickel, to the two outside guys to the edge rushers that make the ball come out. They’re very in sync. [Texans coach Demeco Ryans] does a great job and makes sure those guys are going 100 miles an hour at all times.”
There’s also Mayfield and the Bucs’ performances in prime-time games, in which they’ve gone 0-6 the past two seasons and 1-1 in the postseason. Mayfield believes honing in on the details will help reverse that trend.
“Obviously we have a great team, but it’s about just doing our job [and] trusting the guy next to you to do theirs — especially in the prime-time games when you’re waiting around all day,” Mayfield said. “Not doing too much — just do your job, your job only, at the very highest level you possibly can and then just execute it.”
Stanley Tucci to Cover 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy
Olympian Jordan Chiles Addresses Whether She’ll Compete in 2028 Olympics After Medal Controversy
Stanley Tucci is saying “ciao” to the Olympics.
The Devil Wears Prada star will be heading to Italy next year to help NBC cover the 2026 Milan-Cortina winter games, the Emmy-winning actor announced on Today‘s Sept. 15 episode.
“You know where else we’re going to be rolling very soon?” he posed in a pre-recorded video on the morning news show. “In Italy, at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, right here on NBC. So, please join me for prime time in Milan. There’ll be great food, great drink and, of course, incredible competition. I’m looking forward to it. I hope you are, too.”
According to the network, Tucci—whose parents are both of Italian heritage—will “present travelogue-style segments highlighting the food, traditions and history of the regions hosting the Winter Olympics.”
And Tucci couldn’t be more excited to share the culture of his homeland with millions of sports fans around the globe.
“It’s been my passion to learn about the people of Italy by traversing the country and savoring its food,” he said in a Sept. 15 press release. “But this time, I’ll have a guest with me—the world.”

TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid are monitoring the situation of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, reports Football Insider. The LaLiga club reportedly could make a surprising move for the 33-year-old towards the end of his contract, with hopes that they can sign him as a free agent in the summer of 2027. Salah is set to be 35 by the time his deal at Anfield expires and may not be prioritizing a move to the Bernabeu by that stage of his career, but he is reported to be open to “all suitors” over his next potential destination.
– Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is on the radar of Real Madrid and Barcelona for a move next summer, according to Bild’s Christian Falk. Stiller, 24, has a reported release clause of just €37.5 million and Madrid see him as a potential long-term replacement for the retired Toni Kroos, while Barca are planning in case Frenkie de Jong or Marc Casadó depart. Bayern Munich and Arsenal have also shown interest in the Germany international in the past.
– Manchester United are keeping tabs on Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, reports Football Insider. Anderson, 22, was man of the match for England against Andorra during the international break and also impressed against Serbia. United have been linked with a £70m move for the former Newcastle midfielder, but the player himself is reported to be happy at Forest for the time being.
– Bayern Munich are weighing an approach to sign a center back, according to Bild’s Christian Falk. RB Leipzig‘s Castello Lukeba, 22, and Crystal Palace‘s Marc Guéhi, 25, are two of the top names on their shortlist, but it is reported that they first want to make a final decision on whether they offload South Korea international Kim Min-jae, who is yet to start a game this season. The Bundesliga champions are also considering potential future attacking reinforcements, and one of the latest players they are keeping tabs on is 25-year-old Marseille winger Amine Gouiri.
– Clubs in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger, reports Fabrizio Romano. The 32-year-old is one of the top names wanted by league officials, but he is currently only focused on returning for Los Blancos after sustaining a leg injury that is expected to keep him out for a number of months. Rudiger entered the final year of his contract in June, but he is yet to make a decision on his future.

Trump administration reiterates need to fire Lisa Cook from Fed board
The White House is continuing its push to remove Federal Reserve board of governors member Lisa Cook, filing a response in federal appeals court ahead of a 3 p.m. deadline on Sunday.
The brief, filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, argues that it is within President Trump’s discretion to remove Cook for cause and that the Fed governor’s claim that her due process is being violated is “meritless.”
The filing doubled down on the president’s arguments, saying that Cook’s removal “is a matter of discretion and not reviewable.”
“The public and the Executive share an interest in ensuring the integrity of the Federal Reserve, and that requires respecting the President’s statutory authority to remove Governors ‘for cause’ when such cause arises,” the court filing concludes.
In a Saturday filing, Cook’s lawyers argued her removal from the Fed would “mark an immediate end” to the precedent of central bank independence from the executive branch. They also claimed that Trump removing Cook “would send a destabilizing signal to the financial markets that could not be easily undone.”
“Central banks like the Federal Reserve are independent for a reason: Even the perception of political influence can destroy the investor confidence that is essential for economic growth and stability. And that bell cannot be unrung. Once confidence in the bank’s independence is lost, it cannot easily be regained,” Cook’s lawyers argued.
Last month, Trump announced that he was removing Cook from her position for cause, citing allegations that she committed mortgage fraud. An Aug. 15 criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) alleged Cook listed properties in Michigan and Georgia as her primary residences in 2021. A second FHFA referral on Aug. 28 alleges Cook represented a third property as her “second home,” despite calling it an investment or rental property in other government documents.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department reportedly opened an investigation into Cook regarding the accusations. The central bank governor has denied the White House’s claims and responded to Trump’s move to remove her by filing a lawsuit against the administration.
NBC News reported Friday that Cook declared her Georgia residence as a “vacation home” in financial records, contradicting the administration’s mortgage fraud allegations.
U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb temporarily blocked Cook’s firing on Tuesday, noting that Cook made a “strong showing” that her removal violated the Fed’s “for cause” provision. The administration appealed the decision, with Sunday’s deadline coming days before the central bank’s two-day meeting begins Tuesday.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will announce whether the central bank will cut interest rates from their current 4.33 percent mark. Markets are expecting a quarter-point cut.
Trump has criticized the Fed for not cutting rates for months, with the president specifically making Powell the subject of his ire. Then, he sought to remove Cook, citing the discretion awarded to him by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
The Hill has requested comment from Cook’s legal representatives.

Kelly on Kirk: We agreed on 'his right to be out there speaking'
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk had “every right” to be speaking on the Utah Valley University campus when he was assassinated on Wednesday.
“Charlie Kirk and I didn’t agree on much politically. I’m a Democrat. He’s clearly a Republican. He was one of my constituents,” Kelly said in an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
“The one thing we did agree on is his right to be out there speaking about issues on college campuses like he was last Wednesday,” the moderate Democrat continued. “He had every right to be there.”
Kelly also praised Kirk for listening to people who disagreed with him.
“And I will give him a lot of credit: He gave people a platform. And he would listen to people across the aisle,” Kelly said. “I had a difference of opinion from him.”
Kelly said he thinks Kirk’s assassination will be “one of those moments” that “people remember.” He said he hopes people become more aware of the sources of their information and start seeking out those who bring people together.
“I think it’s going to have a long-term impact. I hope it can be a positive one. I hope people go and start to think about: Are they getting their information from people who are trying to exploit us or people who are trying to unify us?” Kelly said.
Kelly praised Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) and Utah Sen. John Curtis (R) for their responses in the wake of the Kirk assassination.
“We’ve seen the governor of Utah, who I got to give a lot of credit to, who has tried to bring this country together. We have not seen that from the president of the United States, and I don’t think we can expect to,” Kelly said.
“I’ve seen it from my Senate colleague in Utah, John Curtis, who is very thoughtful about how he’s approaching this,” he continued. “So my hope is that people go to those individuals that are not trying to exploit this tragic event.”
