Although we don’t prescribe a specific diet or exercise program, we do believe in the following common sense and healthy weight loss tips:

• Water is the perfect drink, drink eight 8-oz. glasses of water a day. Water is essential to all bodily functions and has no calories.
• Breakfast - Start the day with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Keep it healthy by eating a low-fat, low-sugar breakfast.
• Fat and Sugar will make you FAT - Eat lots of fruits and vegetables; a few daily servings of bread, rice and pasta; modest portions of lean protein-rich foods and low fat dairy; and sparing amounts of fat, sweets and sodas.
• Give away high-calorie foods that you know you will end up eating and try cutting back on large food portions slowly to achieve faster results.
• Track your weight - Hop on the scale every day and chart your progress. Set a 30-day weight loss goal and post it somewhere you’ll see it everyday.
• Be happy. Don’t act as if resisting tempting foods is killing you. Most foods are tasted for only three seconds, then are swallowed and are gone.
• Walk For Life - If you want to achieve weight loss, you’ve got to move. A brisk, daily, 20 or 30 minute walk will do the trick.
• Enjoy crisp vegetable salads and avoid greasy foods to attain the weight loss you desire.
• Eating most of your calories in one big meal is the worst possible way to diet.

To become slender, sexy, and more popular you must develop the habit of eating right and exercising regularly.

You will have to get into the habit of exercising. It can be anything, just get moving.

Even moderate exercise is beneficial in improving weight loss, health, and fitness. The important thing is movement. Get moving and keep moving, until it becomes a habit.

You can walk, jog, mow the lawn, wash the car, golf, or do carpentry around the house. It doesn’t matter what type of exercise you do as long as it lasts for at least 30 minutes.

Take a walk in the park, hike a trail, go mushroom hunting (one of my favorites), or try tai chi, yoga, or the martial arts. Try mowing the lawn, gardening, dancing, skating, skiing, or horseback riding (another favorite).
