Weight Loss 101

It's very basic- consistent exercise (at least 20 minutes 3 times/week) and eating right will in turn, get you results. But, make sure you're eating the right foods (lean meats, green veggies, whole grains) and stay in the 1200 to 1500 calorie range- this is VERY important!! If you consume less than 1200 calories a day your body will think it is starving and start to store calories, rather than burn them!! Also, eat at least 5 times a day!!! Eating throughout the day revs your metabolism up & keeps it burning all day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner.

Also- don't deprive yourself...this will only lead to binging!!! If you want some chocolate cake, you can have it....just don't have ALL of it!!! Just a few bites to fulfill that 'need'....then WALK AWAY!!!! (and be sure to account for those calories, there's no such thing as 'freebies') When you're working out consistently you should take pride in that- don't ruin it by eating a whole piece of cake that you'll regret later! Your hard work WILL pay off.....
