fat loss isnt about what u eat, its about what u dont eat.
as long as u burn more cals than u eat, u will lose weight

First of all, don’t diet. Fruits and vegetables should be 70% of your diet. It’s that simple. I lost 44 lbs by simply eating the natural hygiene way which is fruit or fresh juice until noon, then properly combining food from 12pm – 7pm (starches with veggies only or salad, or just meat with salads and veggies, no starch (rice, potatoes) with meat, walk or move 30 min a day, and I had a graphic artist slim my before (fat) photo and I placed my slim photo on my fridge and just about everywhere else. It worked for me and I think it could change your life too.
boneless chicken or pork tenderloin w/ peppers & onion, steamed broccoli & carrots, cucumber & tomato salad with red wine vinegar, canteloupe with salt & pepper (trust me, it’s good), 94% FF popcorn with I Can’t Believe it’s not Butter spray (sneak that into a movie…it’s almost the same with a TON less fat!), Fat free ice cream (90 cal per 1/2 cup) – there’s actually alot of good flavors out there, if you need that choclate flavor, try 2 tsps of hershy’s light syrup, snack on apples w/ fat free saltines.
add tabasco & garlic or cayanned pepper to just about anything for that flavor kick.
i have followed this diet for about 3 weeks & haven’t felt at all deprived. i do 30 minutes of light cardio and i’ve already lost 7 lbs. .
to lose weight u need to eat right and have a workout plan 5-6 days a week.u have to want it.
***try this u need to change ur diet.
eat six times a day. ea of ur 3 main meals needs to combine a lean protein such as chicken breast ground turkey turkey bacon egg whts also combine that with a complex carb such as a baked potato or sweet potato wild rice brown rice oatmeal or girts. also add fresh fruit and vegies to lunch and dinner. pick fruits low in sugar like pears and berries. if u get canned vegies get ones with low sodium. eat every 3-4 hrs keep ur metablism moving.
***also the most important part is WATER drink at least 64oz. no soda or juice. water will curve ur cravings.
u need to hit cardio 3-4 times a week running outside it great workout if u can hit a gym and cardio machine is great at least 30mins***
also add weight/strength training 3 times a week.u can google free weight traning guides anywhere. its not hard to find things for free. also for those wanting sexy hot abs. a nice toned stomach comes from a body with low body fat. so if ur overweight and u do a million crunches or any ab workout you r wasting your time!!! cant see the muscles under fat. low body fat equals=a nice flat toned stomach.
***plan ur meals ahead of time.always have a healthy snack with u so u wont be tempted to eat fast food. also if u wait to late to eat u will get so hungry u will eat the world. make time to work out start out with 30 mins then increase.its ur body treat it right. ur diet alone can help lose weight but working out makes ur body look good. shows muscles and tight skin which is sexy and beautful. stick with it ur body will amaze u!!! to be healthy and look great u need both in ur life. good luck email me if u have further questions
