Bassett says the key to success is clean eating, starting with breakfast within the first 30 minutes after you wake up. He says you may not see the results right away but he urges you to keep pushing. He's launching an 82-Day Challenge this Saturday to help people jump start their New Year weight loss goals. The three people who lose the most weight, inches, and body fat will receive prizes, including a celebrity hair makeover and cash. Call 708-955-1074 for more details.
